When they make a womans picture, they treat it like a womans pictu

When they make a womans picture, they treat it like a womans picture. In the 40s, they didnt treat Joan Crawford movies like that, but as the big movies of their year. Im upset that theres no Terminator with a woman in Arnold Schwarzeneggers role. Because that would make just as much money. – Ellen Barkin
