Ghostbusters

[AlexJones]

I know the trailer looked like shit, but I'm leaning on the feminist's side when it pertains to the manchildren who are crying about :cry muh childhood is ruined :cry

Sexist writeup tbqh

Baby men just don't want another shit remake in the theaters.

[Mitch]

You have to remember if you reboot something 75% of your audience is gonna be fans of the original. You want to cater to them like Disney did with Force Awakens.

Obviously if so many people are denouncing it, they fucked up. Criticize the "baby-men" if you want, but bitches arent going to fucking watch ghostbusters :lol

You think guys would watch a Barbie movie?

Plot twist: One of them is a tranny

It's not even the fact that it's women...the humor just looks forced and unfunny. The original actors were all naturals...Murray, Ramis and Aykroyd...they were three legends doing what they do best without even trying hard. This is just some women no one has even heard of cobbled together with McCarthy so they can have some semblance of name recognition. I'm sure the whole move can be summed up in that one dumb fucking scene in the trailer where one woman is smacking the other repeating the line from The Exorcist.

They also gave away the plot in the damn trailer, movies are doing shit like that a lot lately.

[Reck]

It's what it is. This movie looks like shit and it's filled to the brim with stereotype. Angry black women-CHECK. Shemale-CHECK. Ultra ugly dyke-CHECK

Etc etc.

Yep, -Marshmallow Man- catapulted the original. So American. So USA. So white. The movie though is tedious.

[bigzak25]

It's a maybe redbox rental...unless it just gets spectacular reviews or we're really effin bored.

:lol that's the irony of it. The movie does backflips to cater to the SJW/feminazi crowd but decides to cast the three white women as scientists who need the help of a black woman for her "street smarts". Did the producers not realize how racist that was at the time they were casting :lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

this move will suck so they should have at least put 4 hot actresses in there instead of this shitty lineup. I am happy that they did leave the black guy from the last 2 movies still in tho.

[-21-]

I was optimistic about this as I loved Paul Fieg's work in Spy and The Office but the trailer sucked so much... Reminded me he was also responsible for The Heat...

:lol feminist media

[Trainwreck2100]

9 out of 16 of the top critics say it's crap they account for over half the rottens and are most likely to be objective

[AlexJones]

It's definitely trash tbh

But anything that gets the gamergate community riled up>>>>

[Oh, Gee!!]

I'll probably go see it b/c I watch a lot of movies. Not really getting the vitriol.

Look up gamergate and you will quickly see where the backlash is coming from. They are also predominantly Trump voters too.

[IceColdBrewski]

The top critics on Rotten Tomatoes are pretty much split. Half rotten, half positive. Well, positive-ish. Because even the positive ones stop way short of calling it a good movie, and have a "well, it wasn't great, but it didn't suck" kinda vibe. Definitely sounds like redbox material.

[DarrinS]

Retreads of shitty movies are usually shittier.

Seems like the positive reviews are coming from two places...the feminist crowd and the people who are worried about being lumped in with those who have been shitting on this movie for months(hence the "wasn't great but didn't suck" cop out).

LOL this thread. I don't know what's dumber....guys whining about icky girls in a remake of a silly childhood icon or the crybaby accusations of feminism over something that has nothing to do with feminism. "Men" these days :lol

There's nothing wrong with liking the original, or being disappointed in the quality of the reboot. It's not making anyone rage. It sucked; everyone is moving on.

:lol okay

Interesting, btw, that you only take issue with my comment, when it's the only one in this thread that addresses the point the OP himself made :toast

i might take my niece to see it this weekend if i can find some time.

The whole "I don't like it because women" seems to exist more in rhetoric than reality, but some people have really dug their heels in on it and developed some eye rolling dimestore psychology around it.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR

[Spurminator]

Pretty average comedy. 6/10. Worth seeing, probably no repeat viewings though.

[baseline bum]

I don't really gaf that it's women in the reboot, but that they're physicists studying the paranormal in the preview made me want to fucking puke. That and the fat bitch and the black one.

[baseline bum]

Speaking of Ghostbusters, wackest mixtape ever:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAuiTSIpXxg

[Oh, Gee!!]

Going to watch it today. Not expecting much. Just need to prove to myself that I ain't afraid of no ghosts

[InRareForm]

It made 46 million this weekend. Wow

[Oh, Gee!!]

Watched it. Give it a solid C+/B-. It was funny, but not as good as the original. Good summer flick. Thor gets all the big laughs though

Not a good sign when a movie named Pets is having more success.

[ColinB]

Thought it was good. Went in with low expectations and as a fun summer popcorn flick, it worked.

Theater was full, btw.

[Aztecfan03]

I just don't find any of the actresses funny. I would equally hate if the reboot starred Will Ferrell, zach galifinakis, seth rogen, and some other shitty actor.

[Spur|n|Austin]

May not spend money in the theater but will check it out when a solid copy is out to DL. I think we'll wait to check out Star Trek this weekend.

[Spurminator]

I'm a little worn out on the style of comedy that goes:

Mediocre punchline >> Let's follow up on that punchline until it gets awkward >> Awkwardness becomes the new punchline.

It was funny in Anchorman, but it's basically become the standard now.

[Darius McCrary]

I thought it was funny. Wasn't funniest ever, didn't suck, but it made me laugh steadily throughout.

I thought the cameos were fun too.

[Darius McCrary]

For anyone on the fence:

Kristen and Melissa play very toned down versions of their normal movie selves. They're the straight gals. It's McKinnon and the big black chick that are the eccentric loud crazy ones. So it's not like 4 crazy loud girls all at once.

I thought their characters were balanced.

[Thebesteva]

The only thing about all this ghostbusters hype is it reminded me to rewatch the original because I havent seen it in forever. Im not interested in this new version tbh...

:lol dropping over 10 million from opening Friday
:lol made more money on a Tuesday

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The amount of emotional investment in gamergate bachelors for this move it fail is pretty damn sad.
