would you ever want a fried green tomatoes film remake?

What a random and difficult question! 

Done perfectly, all right, sure. But the original was so well cast and just really well done in general, except obviously for the, you know, how they handled the relationship. But the ambiguous nature of it bothered me less than the ending, which, unless the director calls up Fannie Flagg and gets permission to change, we’ll always get anyway.

But representation and faithfulness to the source and all that, I do get that they matter, and I know myself enough to realize just how happy I’d be if they made it explicit, so, yeah. I’d be fine with one. But gosh, the casting would have be perrrfect. I’m still so attached to MSM and MLP.
