Seriously, Hollywood?

Seriously, Hollywood? You're re-making a film about the Let's Pretend version of the great, lost South? Not to mention it'd have to try tremendously hard not to be a stereotypical indictment of women and how 'they just can't manage without the right kind of men to guide and control them'. Please feel free to hear that last bit in the scare quotes in a fake genteel southern female accent. It's how it sounded in my head when I wrote it.
