Catwoman -- Spayed and Euthanized

Congrats to the producers of BOURNE SUPREMACY which raked in $53.5 million in its opening weekend. Compare that to CATWOMAN, which earned a pitiful $17.2 million.

CATWOMAN is the classic example of what is wrong with Hollywood. Produced and developed (in part) by Denise Di Novi, the movie cost over $100 million to make and will come no where close to generating that much money.

Bad show + bad business = bad showbusiness. Yet, Denise gets work over and over again. In Hollywood, we call this failing up.

Who is Denise Di Novi? She has her deal with Warner Bros. and is best known as Tim Burton's former development head. Although since she left his company (or was fired, depending on whom you ask), she's produced features such as CABIN BOY, MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, and PRACTICAL MAGIC.

All of which bombed under no uncertain terms.

Yet she keeps plugging along and getting bad movies made. So in some respect, she's a good producer. She just has utterly horrible taste and no creative ability to make good movies.

Last comment on Denise: Not only does she have others open her water bottles for fear of chipping a finger nail, but she also pays her manicurist/pedicurist to come into the office during staff meetings to get a soak and a polish.

Makes you proud to live and work in this town, no?
