why don't films that cater to women and their concerns, fantasies and way of living make money?
As long as Hollywood feels financially solvent with the kind of comic book extravaganza that viewers and movie goers are being swamp with this summer, women will not prevail Even children are doing better at the box office than women.
So many of the really good foreign films that don't feature extraordinary and expensive special effects for which Hollywood is famous and has never been out done, are the only films that seem to be part of the movie goers repertoire of films seen with the sole exception of The Documentaries..
or me this is a serious problem because i can not sit through the entire Batman film and not get bored even with its suurrb acting and I can't get myself to see spider man or superman. I am missing out on the "American heroes" the icons that make this country something less than it might otherwise be. i am out of the loop because I would rather see Tula's Marriage or the Visitor or any of the Michael Heneke's films including his latest Funny Games 2008.

What would you want to see more of?
