What. The. Fucking. Fuck.
Jul. 1st, 2010 07:53 pmWTF is this bullshit about people making sad, pathetic, SEXIST knockoffs of Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
First Katherine Heigl makes the travesty that is Killers.
Now Cameron Diaz makes yet another travesty in Knight and Day.
Seriously, how much of a douchebag does a producer/director/writer have to be to look at a movie like Mr. and Mrs. Smith and think to himself -- 'Lets replace the strong female lead with a helpless dumb blonde'?
Because no one wants to see an action/comedy with a competent female lead in a romance that's actually based on mutual respect. We all know what a terrible *failure* Mr. and Mrs. Smith was at the box office. Clearly what that movie really needed to be a success was DAMSELS AND CHAUVINISM.
NOW THERE'S A BLOCKBUSTER.
