If a Disney spokesperson really said that, good for them.

They're at war with him so yeah, they definitely said it lol.

Your icon is iconic

But also why is Disney clutching pearls when Iger said basically a less severe version of this ("I don't watch movies to be taught a message") a few months ago.

Trying to ensure that Petz doesnt win in getting on the board

Because Peltz said the quiet part out loud.

I guess it could be like splitting the hair - all women or all POC, as long as they teach me nothing. How much longer is this Age of Nonsense going to last?

I bet if this guy saw a war movie that was nothing but dudes he would not think anything at all weird about it

i too wonder why i must sit through movies with all-male casts or only one woman who functions as part of a man's story.

[invisiblegirlx]

Exactly. I'm damn tired of seeing the same shitty male led stories.

There are exactly two movies with no women that I'll let get away with it, and that's 12 Angry Men and Lawrence of Arabia which are both hella old (LoA at least has poc). If a new movie comes out without any major female characters I will simply just not watch it. I won't even watch a movie if the audience has too many men (v suspicious). There are occasional small town period films I will give a pass for being all white based on location and time period (Portrait of a Lady on Fire, etc.), but I'm definitely suspicious of any creative that keeps going to that well.
