Surprised they haven’t remade it for “modern audiences”


A black lesbian doc gets stuck in a small southern town and she convinces female ambulance driver Lou to come to the dark side.

But then she discovers Lou is actually a trans woman. Together, they overcome sexism and racism and turn the citizens from red to blue.

🤣 Please don't. It's my favorite Michael J. Fox movie not named Back to the Future or Teen Wolf.

Mine too. 😊

I hope they don't remake this movie, but I would watch a movie about an interracial romance between a lesbian doctor and a trans ambulance driver.

You’re one of the rare few because movies like that keep bombing at the theaters.

reply

A lot of movies are bombing at theaters though.

reply

Because most films these days are this type. Wokeness is ruining the industry.

I don't think "wokeness" is ruining the industry. I think there are several other factors:

-more entertainment options so people are going to the movies less
-films come to streaming and vod a lot faster than before so there is less urgency to go to the theater
-lack of originality/creativity, too many sequels, remakes and similar films
-movies have huge budgets and can't make enough to make a profit

“more entertainment options so people are going to the movies less”

Because all the woke movies in theaters are driving them away.

“films come to streaming and vod a lot faster than before so there is less urgency to go to the theater”

Because the woke movies in theaters bomb so fast studios move them to streaming faster to try and recoup their lost revenue.

“lack of originality/ creativity, too many sequels, remakes and similar films”

Because studios are making sequels and remakes of popular franchises and ruining them with wokeness.

“movies have huge budgets and can't make enough to make a profit”

Because they’re all woke so they bomb.
