no longer doing movies with women in the lead

Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has made a new decree that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead". Apparently, female leads bomb a movie at the Box Office. Of course we can't blame the male writers, producers and directors who can't write convincing, interesting women to save their lives.

Fuck you Mr. Robinov.

Boy, you really wonder how do guys like this managed to climb so high up the corporate ladder in the first place. That's super-sexist. In fact, I think one-for-one, there are more movies with male leads that bombed because traditionally, males play leads.

Evidently, Mr. Robinov must learn to look outside of commercial forays for inspiration like 'Amelia' and 'Leon: The Professional'.
