Bwahahahahahaha! A misogynist? That's a good one. I'm actually a pro-active feminist in that I find it highly insulting that the industry feels the need to re-make male-centric movies with female casts instead of making quality ORIGINAL female-cast movies. Just the same as I find it demeaning and a bit racist to take an existent movie and make it all-black, or all-this, or all-that. All it says to me is that the industry and studios are too chicken to take a chance and make something ORIGINAL, that they can only promote the many magnificent female stars through male remade retreads. Like, "This is all we think you can aspire to."
I find all THAT to be HIGHLY misogynist, on an industry-wide level. Sure, I understand that they're looking at it from a bottom-line perspective, but IMO the optics certainly aren't good.
I do get that a lot of women love them and revel in them, and that's cool. Not that I have a voice about what they have to say, but it's 100 percent their prerogative. If anyone wants to see this, or anything else under the sun, well, I'm not trying to stop them. All appearances say that I'm doing everything from killing someone's darling to peeing in their Cheerios, but that's just histrionic overreactions.
So,
@carrrnuttt , you are about as off the mark as it is possible to be. Gave me a good laugh. You did manage to do something that Chappie didn't, and provoke a real response, so there's that.
