"Am I so out of touch? No. No, it's the audience who are wrong."

RedMeatTrinket · 2020-04-04T09:23:34+00:00

Because a woman has never had a lead role in Hollywood, right?

Belrick_NZ · 2020-04-04T09:50:29+00:00

She defines her worth through her identity. Being female, not being white

Not only does that make her a racist pos it means that she is undeserving of her position given that talent and skill weren't her assets leading to her hiring.

That director farts directly into wine glasses then sniffs them

user_miki · 2020-04-04T09:34:32+00:00

This woke people are so full of themselves.

Nothing else go inside.

So I guess people in the late 70s, 80s, 90s was not ready for Signourney Weaver in the Alien movies? Also where was all those millions of women hiding when it came to watching Birds of Prey in cinemas? As surely women would show solidarity with their "girl power" and "sticking it to the man" attitudes.

DangZagnut · 2020-04-04T09:39:57+00:00

Ready for what?

Shitty movies?

I've seen many shitty movies over the years, are we to believe that women aren't (apparently only) capable of making shitty movies?

mellow_dude · 2020-04-04T13:15:26+00:00

Why didn't women all go out to see it? It should have been perfect for them.

t5terryturbotwat · 2020-04-04T11:52:58+00:00

Maybe because the movie was dogshit dumb cunt

I would have had a lot more respect for her if she just said "This has been a learning experience for me. I know there is still a long way to go, and I am sorry for disappointing my viewers"

This is the same with Hilary Clinton after she lost the election (exactly the same way Bill Clintomn predicted). She never once owned up to her failure, but instead blamed every one else.

I see this in my personal life too. Women in my life have a really hard tome accepting failure. One of them once told me that "If I accepted that I failed at something, then it means I am a failure and I just cant have that."

bpdloveoflife · 2020-04-04T13:56:54+00:00

"But, I definitely do feel that everyone was pretty quick to jump on a certain angle."

I am sorry that I jumped on a certain angle that the movie was a flop because it was poorly made. I should have, instead, thought to myself "Aha, the society is not yet ready for this"

downwardlyspiraling · 2020-04-04T14:26:06+00:00

No no no Cathy. We’re ready for anything, except a shitty movie.

jhooperp · 2020-04-04T16:35:05+00:00

“That was an extra burden on me as a woman director of color”🤦🏻‍♂️

She’s Asian American.

Also, most people aren’t film buffs and could care less who the director of a movie is.

Also, let’s forget the many successful films directed by women that started women. Because when a movie bombs let’s blame men “who aren’t ready”🤦🏻‍♂️

She just can’t admit that her movie was garbage. The critics only liked it because of current SJW narratives. The trailer to this movie looked bad and when I saw the movie it was even worse.

But hey she’s a female director so let’s not blame her even though she’s the one who was in charge of this sorry excuse for a movie.

Another one on the list is Elizabeth Banks, director of the remade “Charles Angels”. She blames men also even though her movie sucks and the trailer to the movie showed how bad it is.

DemonGroover · 2020-04-04T18:27:11+00:00

Men were literally told by the film makers that this film isn't for them. So now they complain that men didn't see it?

ThaiEscapePlan · 2020-04-04T19:34:25+00:00

People were not ready to pay good money for a bad movie that lectured them. You can hijack movies that appeal to guys and make them from a feminist viewpoint. But you can't make us spend money to watch them.

FiReFoXbEaSt · 2020-04-04T18:53:19+00:00

All you have to do in today’s world to make a PASSABLE female led action movie is put her in skimpy clothes and make her look sexy, and they couldn’t even do that. It’s sad but that’s all you have to do. All the simps that drool at the mouth over women in sexy clothes will make sure the movie makes a profit. But they had to push the agenda that female action movies without women who wear sexy clothes can still do well, and I think we all know how that ended.

rayedward363 · 2020-04-04T20:25:51+00:00

You made a movie, riding the coattails of successful movies and the DC brand, made it as woke as possible, then freaked out when it failed. Given even recent movies that tried this route and failed, you'd think an advisor would have said, "No, stop, what are you doing?"

NickTesla2018 · 2020-04-04T20:28:25+00:00

How many of us know any women that said, damn I have to see that movie?

Elkubik · 2020-04-04T16:58:48+00:00

Jesus. I don't care that you're a woman of colour. I don't know the names of the directors of the vast majority of my favourite movies. Only reason I have favourite authors is cause their name is right there, on the front of the book, which I subconsciously read every time I pick the damn thing up. And I have no idea what my favourite writers look like. I'm pretty sure a few of them are gay/black/disabled/whatever.

clayticus · 2020-04-04T19:18:23+00:00

Don't judge movies based in the quality of the film, but on how many excuses a director can give.

malte-gustav_towski · 2020-04-04T21:40:28+00:00

if you are german mothertongue (or pretty skilled) you might enjoy the review of "filmanalyse" of the movie:

its a total destruction from a highly intellectual and skilled cinema critic.

Si-Wo · 2020-04-04T22:44:13+00:00

maybe it is late.. or maybe my brain just gone sleeping from reading such a bullshit article. but i have not the will to argue with such feminists....
