You know, people keep mentioning Underworld 2, or whatever it was called, as a box office failure compared to the first when it did a wee bit better.

I wonder why?

people like that icarus blogger just anger me. yes, i think artistic license is necessary to protect and fund, but what is so disturbing about some of the stuff that comes out of places like japan, is that it treads the line of art or promotion.

it’s really hard to defend some of those books when it remains a problem that actually occurs in their society. hey, if that kind of pressure is what it takes to make publishers realize that people are actually paying attention to what they put out there so that they don’t put out crap, then, I’m all for it.

There are plenty of bad male-led action films, too — it’s just that when one bombs, Hollywood looks at it and says, “Oh, this movie bombed,” not “Oh, male-led action films aren’t successful.” Their poor performance is blamed on the film itself, not on the genre.

I wonder if it’s just that there are so many action films with male leads. Hollywood is notorious for having a short memory, where the only thing that matters is your most recent picture. But if there are 25 action films out this year with male leads, and 5 of them are reasonably big hits, they can look at those 5 and see that yes, people are still going to see action films with male leads. The ones with female leads are few enough that when one flops, the last success was last year, and therefore not (to the studios’ minds) representative of current audience tastes.

I think the problem here is that the movies they list, Catwoman, Barb Wire and the others were terrible movies. Aliens was a great movie with a great script and a lot of care put into the characters through out the movie. Gives us a good movie first and foremost and people will come.

“Rodriguez is dipping his laser gun into a subgenre where Hollywood has been traditionally gun-shy.”

Dipping his laser gun? Ewwww.

Alien & Aliens. I’ve never liked a sci-fi movie more then those two, and I never thought twice about the fact that a woman was the hero. Maybe if these femail action movies would just have good scripts, we wouldn’t have this problem. I liked that A vs. P’s hero was a strong black woman, but the script was just bad.
