Here's The Trailer For Lifetime's Remake Of Steel Magnolias

When Lifetime announced that they were doing a remake of Steel Magnolias with Queen Latifah as M'Lynn, I felt like I had just been slapped in the face by Jack Jr. on Easter Sunday. And after seeing the trailer, I'm torn ("Don't they have anus stitches at the free clinic?" - you). On one hand, this looks really well done and like Lifetime put all their money on this and used leftover Camel Cash and drink tickets to pay for Liz & Dick. On the other hand, this sort of looks like six friends (Queen, Alfre Woodard, Phylicia Rashad, Jill Scott, Adepero Oduye and Condola Rashad) got drunk on pink wine together and started reciting lines from the movie (aka what I do every Sunday night with my dog. He plays Shelby, obviously.) It's almost like a J. Jill catalog come to life. Where's the camp?! Where's the over-the-top tears?! Where was Shelby's kitchen ass Sandy Duncan wig?

I'm mad at Lifetime, so I'm probably just taking that out on this trailer. I'm mad at Lifetime, because I just saw pictures of Lindsay Lohan on the Liz & Dick set looking like a bloated Miss Swann as Chinopatra.

This remake has been controversial, but I love the cast. Yes, it will be different than the original, but you would have to have a heart of stone to not love QL, Phylicia Rashad and Jill Scott. I may be a bit biased because in some of the salon scenes, Queen Latifah is wearing a Cheetah Salon Cape that was made by my company Razor Sharp Salon Wear I'm honored and I'm looking forward to watching!

You all know the movie was originally a stageplay, right? That's why the dialogue is the same.

That said, I'm gonna pass on this mess.

This shitty remake can die in a fire! I rolled my eyes through the whole preview. And I kept wondering if Shelby would die of Sickle Cell in this version. WRONG, I know. I know.

It seems miscast. I can't imagine Queen Latifah in the Sally Field role. She's way too young and she's not a drama queen. Angela Bassett maybe? What made the original fun was the mix of trailer trash and refined southern belles. This movie doesn't translate well for black women unless you change the dialog, the accents, and the setting. Let's hope this is just a weak trailer.

Considering her bloated, freckled face, her saggy titties, and that Elizabeth Taylor was about 30 lbs lighter after having a couple babies than Blohan is now, I think the voice is the least of their worries.

I mean, seriously, Taylor at 30 vs Blohan at 26:

Almost missed Blohan as Cleopatra because I never had any interest in Steel Magnolias. But I just can't wait for this, it may make "Valley of the Dolls" look like "Citizen Kane". How is she ever going to mimic Elizabeth's higher pitched feminine voice. It will be hilarious.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority because I love this movie. I generally don't like cryfest movies either but this movie made me laugh and cry. It was better than CATS!!

Seriously, after Shelby bites the dust and Sally Field is going to get the kid and she's just driving and crying, and then when she goes apeshit at the cemetery, I lost it. I still do. Every. Single. Time.

Queen Latifah can't act. I don't know who keeps thinking she can act, and putting her in movies? Who is responsible for this?

Alfre and Phylicia look ok, but the rest need to be recast. Where was Loretta Divine to be Truvy? She would be great.

When I first heard about a Steel Magnolias remake, I was excited--however, seeing the trailer, I wonder WTF was the point? The dialogue is identical. I know movies are redone all the time, but it's always done with some change. Going by the trailer, it seems to be verbatim. Seriously -- what's the point? (Having said that, I'll still watch it because I'm a sappy sucker.)

Boobage and monstrosities alike, I agree wholeheartedly... Lifetime is Cunt Inc. They could've just stuck to "Don't you dare touch my daughter" and "You're taking my kids away" or "I'm obsessed wichu and Imma stalk you" but instead they're sullying up all the things we love. Hey Lifetime, FUCK YOU.

OK, crying. That shit is like Jane Austen, designed to elicit a particular response from me. I lost it when I saw M'lynn/Queen Latifah hugging her grandson after Shelby dies.

They could do that scene with Muppets and I'd still cry.

Dylan McDermott still is the damn best bridegroom in movie history. This remake prints a couple of paychecks and might please a few folks but the supposed charm of blacks playing what is an irevocably white southern story may not be evident to many.
