Watched “steel magnolias” the 2012 version and it made me cry ugly tears.
I really enjoyed it, but I have no nostalgia for the original (haven’t watched it all the way through). When I emotionally recover, gonna track it down and watch and see which I prefer.
Anyone know both? Which did you prefer?

The biggest thing that bugs me about these kinds of posts (“Remind me again why we need feminism? Oh, yeah.”) is the lack of comparison, which 99% of the time weakens the case by allowing a seed of doubt/point of argument that otherwise wouldn’t be there.
