reporter: baltimore delegate mary washington agrees employers need to be able to define personal appearance and grooming standards but she's already drafting legislation that would prevent employers from requiring or prohibiting specific hairstyles. she says johnson is just one of many examples. >> also there's some women and men who are told to dye their hair, that if they are gray somehow they

pulled no punches yesterday as he criticized several players for poor play the last few weeks. the team lost its last two straight and now is under point 500 on the season and yesterday there was talk of addressing team needs as they try to improve on that record. >> we're going to do whatever it takes, trade guys, we'll cut guys, we'll sign guys, we'll coach guys. we'll change schemes. it doesn't matter. we're going to find a way to get better. that's the business we're in. we got the men for the job. i like our guys. >> true to his word yesterday the ravens sent offensive lineman brian bryant

buyatoyota.com. today's "coffee with" is with paul feig and the satellite interview. furnished by 20th century fox home entertainment. welcome to the eyewitness news morning edition. [ applause ] >> thank you, it's an honor to be here. i'm thrilled. >> i can tell. >> let me ask you this. when did being the director -- when did the title of spokesperson for the movie hit your job category being the director? >> you know, i guess it's my fault if you will. you like it -- it's all coming to me, if not i guess i take the blame. we're sort of the, the captain, we rally our troops and go into battle and hopefully a very funny movie comes out on the other side. i think we did it this time. >> what's interesting, you're not the first director we've had on because a movie has gone to blu ray dvd. i agree with your explanation. the buck stops right there. >> all i know is that an audience at home is never more excited when a director is on tv. [ laughter ] try to control your enthusiasm, everybody. manage it. >> look at it this way, blu ray/dvd, whatever genre, it's the director's cut, with the initial selling point of all of these - >> see what you missed. >> exactly. for me, what i love about the blu ray because i feel like my director's cut what is played in the theater, i love the movie. for the unrated we put in a few things we were always on the fence about that we liked but didn't have time for. those are in but what i love most about the blue ray and dvd and all the extra, tons of extra outtakes, alternate scenes, of just strings of jokes and improvs that people did. then there's five, count them, five commentary tracks including, i don't know if you're a fan of the old mystery science theater 3,000 show but we got the original guys from mystery science 3,000 to make fun of the movie on one of the tracks. >> it's awesome. that is cool. >> it's fun. very fun. i was happy to be made fun of by those gentleman. >> take us inside the ropes for a second. does a studio tell you is this is how much time you have on screen? not unlike a tv show? >> well -- they have a target they would like to hit. they don't -- they especially don't want things to be over two hours long. i agree, i don't want a comedy to generally be that long. "brides maids," the last one before this went a little longer than two hours but we always judge it by the fact at how the audience is responding. we do test screenings to make sure we're not boring people. and we'll make it as long as the audience will stay with us. yeah, you don't want to go forever. also it limits how many times they can show the movies in the theaters. anywhere between 90 minutes and two hours is their sweet spot. 1:45, one hour and 45 is the perfect length. >> i've got a question. your movie was out last summer, a big hit, now on dvd. many are coming out on dvd and blu ray and on demand the same day they come out in theaters. in some cases - >> yeah. >> on demand is coming out before theaters. what is the theory behind that? >> well, it depends on the size of the movie. i think it's a good thing because there's a lot of little movies that you don't necessarily get motivated to get in the car and pay all your money to go to the theater and pay for parking and get all the food versus if you're going to go, that looks interesting and say i can just kind of go on my cable box and get it for a nominal price, maybe we'll do that and stay home. i think it's great especially for smaller films that are fighting to find their place in the marketplace. you never are going to see "pacific rim" or something like that. "superman" doesn't need that. but the smaller independent fliments it's important to have that. >> you're right, you have the film festival in your house. in baltimore we have a couple of good indy movie houses. so we get more than maybe other cities our size. you made a great point, man. >> as a filmmaker there's nothing worse than making a movie that no one sees. that's why we do this. anything that gets it out and gets people talking about it, is great. >> we have to run. thank you for indulging us in conversation. the graphic has been up behind you the whole time. you talk about a great team. i would love to see them do something again. dropping a hint there. good luck to you. can't wait to see you next time. two for two in our book. >> you are the greatest. thank you so much, appreciate it. >> very cool. >> on demand the movie is about the price of a soda at the theater. >> nobody can doubt that. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,, here are updates from marty and sharon. >> right now we're going to see a beautiful sunrise before not long. variably cloudy skies with showers in the area later on and this evening. 66 for the high. right now mid and upper 40s. here's sharon with traffic control. >> good morning. just getting word of a new problem 50 westbound at 97, a car fire reported there. we also still have that accident on 175 at 32. another accident upper coon route 30 hanover pike at frye road. watch for a car fire on 665 near riva road. and accident golf at overview, eastbound joppa blocked at seven oaks for a watermain break there. speeds in the 30s now on the beltway, there's a live look at the west side. this traffic report brought to you by naval academy athletics. don't miss game day the navy way this fall in annapolis. 1-800-u.s.-4-navy. back to you. montgomery county 7-year-old is in critical condition after her mother hits her with a family suv. police say 41-year-old wen ha song was backing up her mercedes like that one out of the driveway in potomac sunday night. didn't know it and continued to the grocery store. stay with eyewitness news, complete news, weather and traffic still ahead and more on the shooting yesterday at a the shooting yesterday at a middle school,,,,,, so you can get cash back on all your purchases. so you can use your cash back... to follow your dream. so you... can save the day. chase freedom. so you can. for sein a whole new way. for seeing what cash is coming in and going out... so you can understand every angle of your cash flow- last week, this month, and even next year. for seeing your business's cash flow like never before, introducing cash flow insight powered by pnc cfo. a suite of online tools that lets you turn insight into action. we'll take something tasty and healthy. ♪ ♪ if you wanna go and fly with me ♪ ♪ it's buzz the bee on your tv ♪ ♪ oh how did i get this way? ♪ hey! must be the honey! ♪ there's a party going on in your cereal bowl ♪ ♪ o's can help lower cholesterol ♪ ♪ oh why does it taste so great? ♪ ♪ hey! must be the honey! ♪ ♪ hey! must be the honey! ♪ hey! must be the honey!
