3. So if they were to cast her in a remake of Citizen Kane or Casablanca that would be OK

all in the name of equality and time has passed? Bear in mind this will be on TV so it will be neutered. No casual bits of nudity and no line about a mind fuck.

Oh well, not really concerned about it. Just won't watch it. I predict it will suck though.

I actually saw the original in a theater before the audience participation began. It is a reasonably well made movie with a great cast and good songs.

I will admit that if Richard O'Brien still owned it and could make a buck I might be OK with it but another bunch of bucks in Lou Adler's fat pockets does not make me happy. He is the type of asshole that gives Hollywood a bad name.
