Eva Longoria Calls Out Hollywood

Eva Longoria: "A white male can direct a $200 million film, fail and get another one. That’s the problem. I get one at-bat, one chance, work twice as hard, twice as fast, twice as cheap." https://t.co/2Ok8qvGKYT

Simon Kinberg wrote X-Men: The Last Stand, which was universally panned, then 13 years later wrote and directed Dark Phoenix. He got a second chance to make the same story again even though he fucked it up the first time!

Truly one of the wildest examples of how men fail upwards I've ever seen.

Apparently it’s not completely false. It’s one of those “both are true” stories according to the company.

Yeah, I figured. He still did make an impact from what I remembered from the LA Times article. I just hate that it turned out he lied --or thought he was the one to invent flaming hot Cheetos.

Has it really been ~20 years? That is depressing af.

[afeelingunacted]

No.

I think it's been 7 years. I thought Patricia Riggen's the 33 was the most recent one but checking her imdb she directed some weird christian movie Sony distributed in 2016.

I am begging a journalist to ask her what went down at the Desperate Housewives Vanity Fair shoot.
