Perhaps I'm nitpicking, but I didn't expect the 2009 remake of Children of the Corn to carry forward the original film's lack of cultural and ethnic diversity.

Are you beep kidding me? Get a clue moron. It's set in the middle of rural Nebraska in the 70s..having the girlfriend/wife be black or mixed (whatever she was) was probably TOO MUCH diversity, if anything. lmfao. Do you really think 1970s Nebraska farming towns were populated by Latinos, blacks, and Asians? Now if this was a present-day movie set in LA, then there would be a diversity problem.
On second thought, you might just be trolling. No one is that clueless..but you never know with braindead, sheeple, "diversity"-obsessed liberals lmao -

That actually kind of bugged me. This is set in the 70's and I'm pretty sure interracial marriage wasn't treated so casually back then.
No sign whatsoever that they had ever had to deal with the issue. Granted there's not much chance to address that in the story itself but it's an odd choice to have an interracial couple and have them not even hint that they had any trouble with it and their driving through a part of the country where they would most likely get static about it. -

Yeah, there's another thread where they're talking about if it was legal or not but it's not even that. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a law against it exactly but I'm also pretty sure there was a social stigma in certain parts of the country and even if it wasn't where they live they were driving through some rural areas of the U.S. where I would expect SOME negative reaction. Hell, as religious as the kid cult was (even mentioning homosexuals) that they themselves would've commented on it if no one else did.

I noticed the exact same thing, the poor casting choice of Vicki. While the actress who plays her is beautiful and talented, it's not historically accurate at all. I didn't care for her in the Carrie remake, and I couldn't stand her character in this movie either. This movie was a mess though, through and through. From the incoherant mumbling of the kiddie preacher (could anyone understand what he was saying? SUCH bad acting!) to the ending Bible verse's typo (should be I John and then the chapter, not John 1) this was just an amateur effort. Probably the worst casting of any movie I've ever seen, period. And that's saying a lot!

Yeah, I'm also not sure the wife in the short story was such a well I'll just say it bitch.
Yeah, the story opens with them fighting and the argument goes pretty much the way it did in the movie but once stuff starts happening I don't recall her being so passive/aggressive.
I will admit, I haven't read the story in ages so my memory might be off but I don't recall her being so annoying. -

75 million morons voted for Trump. Yes, Sunshine, there are people that clueless.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it. -

How many blacks, Hispanics and/or Asians do you think you'll find in rural Nebraska, Skippy?
