Makes a lot of sense.

There was a KFC employee who used "Extra Biscuits" as code when he was working the drive-thru. Somebody eventually actually wanted extra biscuits and were not thrilled to get a bag of weed in their food.

Thanks for answering but could you give some examples of successful movies being deemed a fluke? What marketing and distribution practices are being used to oppress women's films?

Not OP, but do you have to lift your soft palate when playing the didgeridoo? If you have obstructive sleep apnea the treatment could involve a jaw positioning device that opens the airway by positioning your jaw in a way that lifts the soft palate out of the way. Maybe playing the didgeridoo has trained you to keep the soft palate lifted while you sleep.

I'm not a doctor but I used to make jaw positioning devices and talk a lot about sleep apnea with doctors and I think your situation is really interesting.

Doesn't the market decide what films are made? If movies "written by, for and about mainly white men" are the most successful then doesn't it make sense that that's what movies get made?

I'm all for different movies being made, but Michael Bay making a movie about CGI robots and explosions doesn't reflect the "real America" and it's going to outperform almost anything else unfortunate enough to open on the same weekend.

Is it really discrimination, or are filmmakers just going with the formula that nets them the most profit?
