Women don’t want a husband, they want seven other women to join them on a heist to steal a heavily guarded Cartier diamond necklace at the Met Gala.

My Problem with All Female Remakes
I'm a believer in representation and I think that's incredible important that people can see themselves portrayed in the media however I disagree with seperating the different types of people to thier own specific media.
All female remakes are the prime example of this as insted of making it so that men and women are on the stage they create the same inbalance just reversing the genders who have power. This isn't setting a positive example for the future of film but the complete opposite.
I have more of a problem with the remake aspect then the all female part, this is because it shows Hollywoods like of originality and lack of faith in actresses. Lack of originality is shown as writers can't think of new original characters which could be female that insted they have too just use other peoples. The lack of faith is shown by the belief that these films would only be successful if they have a previous brand name attached to it. The problem is we already know this is not true as we've had Bridesmaids, Bad Moms and Girls Trip which all disprove this ideology.
When we hear all female remake we think of the newest incarnation of Ghostbusters and Oceans Eight. My biggest problem with these two films is they are of films which didn't need a remake or sequel. Insted of using this fresh idea to improve a C rated movie they apply it to A rated movies with large fanbases. This only feuls hate to the films and make people go in with a biased mindset as they have expectations and prejudices set up by the original movies.
Rather then undercutting all these incredible actresses and properties Hollywood should make original properties which can showcase the women in thier glory whilst not making them the enemy to men.
Summary:
Ever since the day they met, it had always been Debbie And Lou.
Lou needed Debbie, there was no doubt. There’s no And Lou without a Debbie right beside it. And Debbie needed Lou.
Or so she thought.
Or
Lou and Debbie, Casual by Chappell Roan style. It's not pretty They weren't made for pretty. But it just might be beautiful.
new game is to type one through ten in your tags and see what comes up. i think my favorite of mine is ‘my uncle told us he spent seven and a half hours in a sensory deprivation tank once’ but ‘gideon the ninth motherfucker’ is a close second
