I've never seen the original but wasn't it pretty un-woke with the whole upskirt shot of Sharon Stone??
Oh it gets worse than that, the whole film is basically (no pun intended) “bisexual/lesbian women want to go on killing sprees against straight men.”

God damn it Verhoeven, this sounds awful.
Yeah the production notes do not cast Verhoeven in a good light. Per Wikipedia:
Activists claimed that the film followed a pattern of negative depictions and stereotypes of homosexuals in film. While Eszterhas was open to addressing these concerns, Verhoeven, Douglas, and producer Alan Marshall rejected the changes, claiming that they "undermined" Eszterhas' script and "lessen the integrity of the picture."…
Stone has alleged multiple times that a scene in which her vulva was exposed as she crossed her legs was filmed without her knowledge. She said she was told that her lack of underwear would only be alluded to and not shown. She had been wearing white underwear until Verhoeven said it reflected light on the camera lens and asked her to remove it, assuring her that only a shadow would be visible. She said it was not until she saw the film in a screening room with a test audience that she became aware of the visible nudity, leading her to slap Verhoeven in the face and leave the screening.
My opinion of him is less now.
That's so dumb lmao. Bisexual women sort of definitionally enjoy the company of men and lesbian women are obviously infamous sources of violent assaults?
I call my writing partner the TWISTED LITTLE MAN and he lives somewhere deep inside me.
lol, is it 2003 and you're 13 years old writing on your Livejournal?
In 2012, a planned collaboration on a Biblical telling of the ancient Jewish Macabee story with Mel Gibson blew up in spectacular fashion. Eszterhas accused Gibson of being unhinged and of egging on antisemitic supporters to attack the screenwriter. At the time, Eszterhas released a recording of an unhinged Mel Gibson raging through his house in Costa Rica which Eszterhas’s son recorded, citing concerns for his safety and the safety of others.
Now 80, his focus has been on being a man of faith and being a father.
$4 million is really low for a film budget these days.
Also, it'll be hilarious when the CHUDs complain about the movie anyway, probably because it will have a scene where a woman shoots a man or something and they froth at mouth and claim that female anatomy makes it imposibble for a woman to ever vanquish a man in combat.
4 mil is just the paycheck to Joe if the movie gets made
Oh ok, that makes more sense.
Anti-woke is such a good grift I gotta get on this somehow
I’ve been thinking of rebranding potatoes as extremely masculine and selling them for twice the price. Veteran made, pussy destroying, gun toting potatoes.
I think the tots alone will sell gangbusters.
Someone did that with I think water at the RNC, so you could basically do it with anyone.
If you've got potatoes, maybe I'll pick rice. Manly rice! For men! Also, only white, no woke brown rice here!
Shortly before the invention of ambien.
