Thank you for pointing out th...Dear, dear Natasha:<br /><br />Thank you for pointing out the typos. I made the corrections. That was 2007 (the movie) 2010 (the post) when men were men and women were women and it was still politically correct to call them each what they were and are. So, what does your comment "her gender being the reason" have anything at all to do with gender bias? Sadie and Sophie are both female names the last I heard of. (Oh, wait, we can't say "female" now days, can we?) I do a lot of proof-reading. But I'm far from omniscient. But you really don't mean your comment about "proof reading" when you seem to go far beyond proofing a text and reading things into it based on your own bias. Right? Thank you for using your name. <br /><br />Stan Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084603289444240062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841939281455717340.post-7978690815918467872016-06-16T15:23:27.774-05:002016-06-16T15:23:27.774-05:00I'm sorry to be THAT person, but it was really...I'm sorry to be THAT person, but it was really bugging me that you refer to Sadie as Sophie a couple of times in your post. I'm trying not to read anything into it, like say, her gender being the reason... A little proof-reading goes a long way.Natasha Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841939281455717340.post-91267209614725842812010-09-27T19:59:32.503-05:002010-09-27T19:59:32.503-05:00Anonymous... I almost deleted your comment. I get ...Anonymous... I almost deleted your comment. I get 12 Anonymous blog posts a day from spam authors selling stuff. Use your name. You are partially right. I over stated my point. There are films that Robin Williams has opened -- which means he's able to get a lot of people to the theater by the use of his name alone. I think that was the assumption by this producer. Mostly, Williams takes character roles. He's not known as an a leading man. PATCH ADAMS was a huge hit, but that was 12 years ago. MRS. DOUBTFIRE, 17 years ago, as were many of his better lead roles. He did not star in HOOK but he played two great roles in it. You are right that any film that does more than it's budget (notably 1.5X times the budget) are commendable. But that wasn't my point. "Making a profit" and "opening" are two different concepts to me.Stan Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084603289444240062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841939281455717340.post-52426267821985284822010-09-27T19:06:04.306-05:002010-09-27T19:06:04.306-05:00Um, excuse me, but since when has Robin Williams n...Um, excuse me, but since when has Robin Williams not been able to carry a movie? Ever heard of Patch Adams, Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire? Plus, a movie making more than its budget in domestic sales alone is quite commendable. I haven't seen the movie, I just think some of your statements here are quite off-baseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841939281455717340.post-76263541026579066992010-07-08T17:44:28.746-05:002010-07-08T17:44:28.746-05:00Hi, Stan.

I think this one will remain off my Netflix queue. <br /><br />And it's absolutely true that reading your book has made it utterly impossible to watch ANY movie or TV show or read a novel without trying to discern the MP!!!Myra Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765951683632426856noreply@blogger.com
