I probably will go see The Women anyway, just cause I think a woman-only cast is cool (and seldom-seen)- but it pisses me off that they missed the idea and the point of the original. Again, Sarah Haskins points out the ways in which the media sees us all as one big blob of woman-ness! This TW made me smile!

It was also very pre-second wave, post-first wave feminism, which isn't an attitude that exists anymore. It makes no sense to remake it, because you're losing everything the movie is about by moving to the present-day. It seems as if the people who remade it completely misunderstood how satirical The Women really is. The Women is not a buddy comedy! The women are all terrible to each other! They blame her for her husband screwing around on her! it is one of my favorite movies, and it makes me very angry that they remade it because the original was very much a comedy of manners, satirising upper-class society, morals, and attitudes of the period.
