The Goodbye Girl Remake
TNT is remaking The Goodbye Girl, one of my favorite movies. This movie is a touchstone for my family--we all loved the song, I totally identified with Quinn Cummings (and just found out through imdb that she's only a few months older than I am) and my mother and I still quote the "I got a lawyer acquaintance--" "Oh God. You're an actor" exchange. It's such a great, late '70s in New York City movie--why are they remaking it? There's no way they can improve that movie, and I have no idea how they're going to deal with the whole "Richard III as a flaming fag" schtick in the original. It's not the same joke that it was in 1977--that joke has been done to death by now (this was also a weakness when they musicalized the movie for Broadway a few years ago).
Quinn Cummings. Such a cutie in that movie, with her long brown ponytails and her big eyes.
