OK, another WAHHHHHMEN victim. Henry Winkler's directorial debut, "Cop and 1/2", was his first and last shot at directing. But only WAAAHHHHMEN get tossed to the scrap heap after a loser. I'm sure there's plenty of other guys who effectively got the boot from any chance at the big time after costing a studio a nice stack of cash.
I'm not disputing a lot of what she says, I think it's pretty easy for people on the outside to realize that Hollyweird is a s-hole of a place. But let's not get too carried away.
Yeah she’s pounding the gender card hard. I would have had sympathy for her plight if she didn’t cram ‘as a woman’ before every story of oppression, and she’s clearly using Me-Too to blame the Weinsteins for her failure.
shareCop and a Half was not Winkler's first shot at directing. That would be Memories of Me with Billy Crystal. He was also supposed to direct Turner & Hooch but got fired from the job after not getting along with Tom Hanks.
