Sigh - in the meantime, I'll just have to watch naked Natalie Portman some more...

there's some kind of "lust, caution" contest going on at the arclight. I got a postcard, but it's at home (and I'm not).

I just got this from a friend in the biz

The remake of The Women is currently filming in Massachusetts. This
is the reported cast. As in the 1939 film, there are no men in the
cast. While filming at the Boston library, all paintings and busts of
men were taken down and replaced with women.

Cast listing from imdb

Annette Benning as Sylvia could be quite fun.

Bette Midler as the Countess? Cloris Leachman as Lucy?

I'm grateful that there will be no men, but, but, but.........let's now remake the Wizard of Oz. Oh, yeah, they did that already.

I can see Cloris Leachman as Lucy, certainly. Deborah Messing and Meg Ryan? How are they supposed to be those characters?!?!

But why do a 1939 "period piece" with different actors in the same roles? What's the point of doing a remake of a movie unless something better is brought to the table? (oh yeah, money). The original has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it at the ripe old age of 16 (just ask Gemini Cricket and I, who sometimes have entire conversations in nothing but The Women quotes haha); I hate to see it screwed up like they did with that PBS stage play version. Especially when the original is SO PERFECT.

I did an itty bitty google search on "The Women, Bening," out of curiosity you know, and, apparently, there is a male cast member in this one.

Dumb Boston Globe spoilered me.

Debra Messing and Meg Ryan in the same movie? I'm out.

Alex · 10-05-2007, 03:20 PM

It should be a surprise to nobody but Resident Evil: Extinction is chock-a-block with suckitude.

3:10 To Yuma, Eastern Promises or In the Valley of Elah?

LSPoorEeyorick · 10-05-2007, 04:43 PM

Yuma Yuma Yuma Yuma!!!

Alex · 10-05-2007, 05:20 PM

Haven't seen Elah but of the other two I'd vote for Yuma unless you are strongly averse to westerns or immensely interested in Viggo Mortensen's junk.
