Mr. Robinoff has decreed that no more movies will be made with female leads on his watch. Any scripts with female leads will be rejected out of hand.

Have fun with this one, folks.

2. Is it Robinoff or Robinov?

We'll know soon enough, because this asshat is about to become a household name for reasons he won't like too much. This shit wouldn't have flown in the Hollywood of the '40s.:wow:

12. is she that good?

I've only heard a bit here and there about her, some love her, some hate her.
If she does that fingernail thing, I think I love her.

14. She's very determined as a feminist and family rights lawyer.

I don't know if she wins them all, but she gets the publicity going and shames them in public. A lot of people don't like her, like they don't like Jesse Jackson, because they think there isn't a camera or mike she doesn't like, but that's her schtick getting it all over the tabloids and news.

Now that I think about it she did take on governor groper with sexual harassment suits, but I think the women caved and took a settlement from him. So she lost those ones.

5. Actually if you read the article, it is "Fem-Jep" movies that are the cause of this bad decision

The decline of the "Woman in jeopardy" genre is what is making this decision possible.

This is really about blaming something other than a bad writer, producer or something else.

Someone is blaming the gender because it is easier than firing someone's cousin.

The bad or good "femjep" and other scripts will just be made by other better run studios.
