It's only offensive if one lets it become that. The Tyler Perry comment doesn't have to be taken negatively. While my eyebrow raised at the comment as well, the poster didn't necessarily say that the Tyler Perry element is a bad thing, so don't take it that way. It only has that negative weight if one allows it to.

"it may be a towering work of sheer dramatic genius."

Impossible. It's Steel Magnolias, which is just basically a Tyler Perry movie in whiteface. Which is why I raised an eyebrow here. The Perry factor is a feature, not a bug.

The lifetime coming attraction looks very good. No matter how one feels about the premise concept (I have no problem with it btw), it appears to have been brilliantly cast. Jill Scott, Phylicia Rashad, Queen Latifah, and Alfre Woodard all look terrific.

I'm not getting Woodard as Oiser. I guess she wanted to stretch herself? I love her so much, but it just seems odd. I'd much rather her as M'Lynn.

I cannot NOT smile when I see Jill Scott.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

From the article posted above - "She notes there was a 1992 CBS movie based on the same material and she was credited as a co-producer."

What 1992 CBS movie was based on Steel Magnolias?!?!?

Of course we can. They're black, and they've gone and blacked up a perfectly white play. If we can't judge that sight unseen, what have we come to?

I hope this opens the door for Lifetime to do more All-Black remakes of things, if only to upset certain white people!

I want an all white version of The Color Purple but with Irish accents.

We'll call it the Color Green.
