Having read the book and seen the original movie, I appreciated that a definitely *non-supermodel* type was used. I mean, she looked like Billie Jean King. It was a minor change from the book, and a good change. Something like that could have worked well. The character could very well have been a dyke, but it wasn't necessary to the plot- then or now- so it was unnecessary. What's wrong with simply making a good movie? Why is it necessary to add layers of "messages"? If I want that crap, I'd check out some old Soviet stuff from Internet Archive. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

OM Well, the original did not need a remake. Nevertheless, the remake was done well enough and managed to incorporate some more modern context. Now if they really wanted to hit some hot buttons and generate a lot of buzz, they could have had Andromeda be an anti gay virus developed by an ultra right wing religious organization of the future... |
