Being evil.

I came up with a horrible, awful, bad idea the other night and feel like I have to share it here.

Lawrence and I were watching “The In-Laws“, and it occurred to me that it was about time for a remake (because Hollywood is out of ideas). And then it came to me…

…why not do a gender-swapped remake?

After all, who says women can’t be dentists? Or CIA agents?

I figure Melissa McCarthy has to be one of the leads, but I’m not sure if she’s best for the Peter Falk or the Alan Arkin role. And I’m not sure who would work for the husbands, or for General Garcia.

    I’d suggest a remake of The War Of The Roses, but who would you get to play Danny Devito?

    Peter Falk: Amy Ryan
    Alan Arkin: Sandra Bullock
    General Garcia: obviously, Kathy Griffin.

    Short shameful confession: I have never seen “The War of the Roses”. I’d like to, and I’ll make sure it is on the list.

    Yes, I am an ignorant Philistine who should be shot by some public spirited citizen for the common good.
