Damn you Hollywood for making so many male-fixated films, especially in summer. Many readers of my blog The Travers Take have given me hell for reviewing so many macho epics with male stars on impossible missions. Hey, that’s on Hollywood, not me. The studio suits believe that films they denigrate as “chick flicks” don’t drive attendance nearly as much, hence the shortage. That definitely sucks.
