There are plenty of very good films with female leads, and there will no doubt be many more. Badass women characters are among my personal favorites. But gender-or race swapping characters is not in itself a great idea, when it is done for it’s own sake. There are great westerns, there are great actors with dwarfism. But “The Terror of Tiny Town” was a horrible idea.
Although I loved the western that used primarily animated reptiles for the main characters.

What if you set it in the Spanish Civil War… and shot it in New Mexico?

That’s a whole lotta Billies.
In 1936? Or do you mean the Spanish-American War of 1898? Or the Mexican-American War of 1845?
I just don’t think much of the Spanish Civil War was fought in New Mexico. Or Old Mexico, for that matter.

And the New Mexico campaign of the American Civil War wasn’t fought in Spain.

I’m disappointed that we won’t get a sequel, too. That cast had great chemistry.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. Kinda funny, though, how well they made Spain look like the American Southwest.

I hadn’t seen the original Rat Pack “Ocean’s 11” until after I’d seen the Clooney remake. I honestly didn’t get see the Sinatra character as cool or smooth. His character was a bullying and infantile jerk. Or maybe he just wasn’t very good and his own cocky self was shining through. Whatever. I liked the remake much better than the original.

Because copying a male thing, but with chicks! is totally the best way to address gender inequality…
No doubt they will throw and take punches like a Hollywood action man too.

So Hollywood found a new way to make a lot of money without spending much on anything new.
After we had the reboots of already reboots and restarts and whatevers, we get now reboots just with different genders.
Create something new, then we can talk, this is just utterly boring.

I admit to being baffled by this conspiracy theory. So some sexists (with long records of sexism and misogyny in their tweets, YouTube videos, and blog posts) pan the movie practically sight-unseen because it has women in it. People laugh and point at them, and then people respond with, “This is a marketing ploy you silly feminists!” And in doing so unleash another wave of sexism and misogyny, and basically anti-feminist hate. Then when people respond to that, it’s somehow Sony’s fault. Sony. The people who made a third Spider-Man movie with Toby McGuire acting like an absolute ninny and Kirsten Dunst singing. It took a genius plot from those jackasses to get trollies to do what they do naturally. I’m sure it was Sony that sent Leslie Jones a torrent of shitty abuse, and not assholes on Twitter.

But those were jokes!!! Stop being so sensitive you feminist kill joy! /s
They don’t believe that misogyny exists. it’s women that are keeping them from getting laid by insisting on being treated as human beings, after all.
