Bad Women's Comedies Are Made By Men

Hey, I'm Like The Wayne Gretsky Of The Entertainment Biz - I Have Other People Do My Dirty Work While I Skate Around And Get To Be A Nice Guy. What Can I Say? I'm A Coward.

Internationally And In Foreign Markets, Movies Starring Women Don't Make As Much Money As Movies Starring Men. And Then You Can Blame Filmmakers, Especially In Comedy, Which Is My Bread And Butter, Because It's Become A Bit Of A Boys' Club Over The Years. With The Boys In Charge You Get These Takes On Women Which Are Either The Girlfriend Or The Mean Wife Or The Girl Who Appears In A Romantic Comedy. You're Just Getting Either Men's Fantasies About Women Or What They Think Is The Reality About Women Instead Of Men Just Having A Healthy Attitude About Women.

I Love The Pictures Of Old Hollywood, Seeing The Directors Dressed In Suits And Ties. Even The Grips Would Be Wearing Ties. But The Biggest Thing Is When I Was A Kid, I Couldn't Wait To Be An Adult, And I Think What Happens With Most Guys Is That No One Wants To Be An Adult Anymore. So They're Dressing Like Kids.

The Director Is The Only Person On The Set Who Has Seen The Film. Your Job As A Director Is To Show Up Every Day And Know Where Everything Will Fit Into The Film.

The Greatest Way For People To Experience A Comedy Is To Go In Not Knowing Anything About It. But Because Of Marketing, It's Impossible. Marketing Meaning That In Order To Get People To Come You Can't Just Go, 'hey, There's A Great Movie - We're Not Going To Show You Anything From It But Trust Us!
