Geena Davis has just finished production on a feminist retelling of that most misogynistic novel and movie, “Lord of the Flies.” With its all male cast. This one’s called “Fly Girls,” and it was written by women (or biological men who identify was women, cuz, same-same), for women (or, again, biological men who identify was women, cuz, again and still, same-same), and produced with an all female cast, natch. Snatch. Her initial idea of simply changing all the male names to female ones was shot down when the estate of the original screenwriter said via counsel that “if she changes a single fucking comma in that screenplay, I swear to Christ my client and I will litigate viciously. I almost hope she does…that would be so much fun.”
So without further ado, here is Geena Davis’ Fly Girls. (Or maybe this is Das Booties, her feminist retelling of the fateful story of a misogynistic and rather phallic German submarine in World War 2. Could be either one. It doesn’t matter. Because does anything matter anymore?)
Enjoy.
