Was glancing over the possible TV pickings for this evening (prior to Stargate, of course) and noticed "She-Devil" is on at 8pm. Now, before you think I'd actually willingly watch this drek, let me assure you that I will be avoiding it.
However, seeing it advertised brought back an interesting memory. When the movie was first being advertised (waaaaaaaay back in 1989) I remember being quite traumatized at the prospect of Roseanne playing the lead. Then I found out it was a comedy, and knew there was no way in hell I was going to see this thing. I've accidentally caught bits and pieces of it over the years, but have never seen the whole movie. Why would I be traumatized, you ask. Does anyone else remember the original show "She-Devil"? I have extremely hazy recollections of it, but I believe it was a British show and it was dark and **steamy**. And pretty creepy, actually (lots and lots of icky surgery scenes for the "ugly" lead's transformation). The thought of Roseanne pulling off a movie based on this show was kinda like.. huh.. kinda like Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Ackroyd in East of Eden. ::shudder::
I'm thinking of watching the first hour of "Bring it on." Mmmm.. Eliza Dushku.
