I think this is a GREAT thing not so much for viewers but for women. Because Hollywood is all about who butters their bread. These reboots invariably make money. An all lady reboot gives a lot of women headlining roles in money making movies. Yes, I think this is a great avenue for women to show Hollywood we can compete with men in pulling in eyeballs to screens.

It tickles me that we Yankees have simply never found that particular measurement of time useful enough to preserve the word in our vernacular. We just save a syllable by using “in two weeks” or “two weeks ago” instead.
