Dirty Dancing is listed on a channel I as always am duty bound to watch but it’s made in 2017! What is this wicked witchcraft and why I ask why, I want Swayze and Grey not whatever this nonsense is.... Edit Oh but I’m a country squire now! Wayhay! Dances about... Nicole Sherzinger is Penny! What is going on... This is awful Hungry eyes diff version I swear if they have a version of She’s like The Wind I will riot ! That movie is so hilariously bad. Not one bit of the casting made any sense at all. The guy playing Johnny was awful and Abigail Breslin was the wrong choice in a million different ways, most notably that she could not dance a lick. Not at the beginning, not at the end, not ever. I accidentally caught the very tail end of what I imagine was an equally terrible remake of Footloose, but I can't bring myself to seek out the whole thing. The original is cheesy enough, watching people try to purposely remake the cheese would be painful. Julianne Hough played the female lead in that and although I'm not a fan of hers, I do think she would have been an ideal choice for Penny in the terrible Dirty Dancing remake. Petite blonde lifelong dancer? It would have made perfect sense. Nicole Sherzinger is a good enough dancer, but Julianne would have been just right. Doesn't matter if she can't act, no one else in the movie could either. |

I'm not even sure where to put something like this. It's so bizarre and hateful. It has homophobia, misogyny and racism. Of course Marvel didn't/wouldn't authorize this. It just seems like a lot of effort to be hateful, when you can just not watch movies with diversity. Go back to watching Birth of a Nation with the rest of the knuckle draggers. |

Although it clearly isn't intended by the assholes making them, I sometimes think these "defeminized" movie edits are a feminist statement in their own way - if you can cut all the women out and still have a comprehensible movie, it kind of demonstrates how much more substantial and plot-relevant roles still elude women even with ostensible shows of "girl power." At least Marvel appears to be changing for the better: early movies probably could've had the women cut out easily, but not so much for Captain Marvel, Black Panther or Ant-Man & The Wasp.
On the topic of other remakes, the recent Magnificent Seven was on TV the other day, and I have to say, I still want to see a prequel with Ethan Hawke and Byung-hun Lee's characters. I still can't believe how much that movie improved my opinion of Hawke.
