The Women: New Reasons For Misogyny

The new trailer for the remake of The Women has gotten actual women's panties in a twist. While the sisterhood of the traveling feminist principles over at Jezebel is totally flipping out—sample comment: "FOR SHAME"—the real ugliness will come this September, when Anthony Lane and Rex Reed and every other established film critic simultaneously stroke out at a screening. (Finally opening up some jobs for people under 50, at least.) But though they may die, they will at least die correct. The trailer for The Women—written and directed and executive-produced by Diane English, the writer and executive producer of Murphy Brown—exposes the fact that this film is a huge pile of crap.
