TheWrap did a quick gender tally of Spielberg’s films, by the way. One could argue the 1974 film “The Sugarland Express” had a female lead in Goldie Hawn, and his recent “The BFG” had a young female lead in Ruby Barnhill — but most of the conversation in that film centered around Spielberg’s latest must Mark Rylance).

Props to the audience member for pointing out "The Color Purple." Banks rightfully felt like an ass I'm sure . I would have loved to have seen how Bank's "moved on." Probably pouted and grumbled something disparaging about the audience member who corrected her. Big egos, after all, hate to be contradicted.

I would've punched Banks in the face and expected an apology for the hurt to my hand, to be honest.

So what? Neither did Hitchcock cast a tranny as lead?

Women piss and moan because they can't [and won't] control everything, all the time...

Ironically, he never made a movie starring a little girl.
