Ghostbusters reboot with all-female leads

One movie allegedly portraying white men as dummies and the white male privilege machine goes into overdrive

I hope it's funny. My mom passed away and I need something to laugh at, even if it's just stupid stuff.

My condolences wolfdog51.

Seems like the simplification machine is the MVP of this thread.

So we have this.....

He man woman haters who hated it from the trailer....and still hate it after seeing it. (Sexist men)
Woman who want to see guys put in their place and prove woman can lead a blockbuster (feminist woman)
People who like it cause the internet nerds poo poo'd it (nerd haters)
People who liked it cause most people though the trailer looked terrible (counter culture)

What I have to see is a real opinion on the story , comedy, acting, direction, effects and plot....

Personally I think I will hate it just because of the way Paul Feig carries himself... (Better than most reasons I think)

I'm gonna see this with an open mind, but doesn't Feig get a tiny bit of leeway for dressing like a fourth string Batman villain? Or does that make it worse?

 

[crows]

kinda worse, it is kinda pretentious a lil bit, i get dressing up for special stuff but it looks like he did every day on set, most directors just put on a t shirt and jeans lol.
i dont know, dressing up is good but doing it every day makes it like he might be a very stiff person. not genuine. (kinda reminds me of Dexter) whats Mr Feig hiding I wonder .

 

[YoNoSe]

Raimi always dresses up for work. But Feig looks like the Riddler played by Andy ****.

an interesting fact about this movie.

Sony needs to make at least 500 million to break even. the budget (including marekting) is almost 280 million. ( studio has spent an estimated $144M after rebates and tax credits, and about the same on P&A. Village Roadshow is co-producing.)

I don't think this is one of those movies that can count on China to bail it out. Although, I'm wondering if that's why they released that clip of them testing the equipment, in the hopes that the Chinese will be fooled into thinking this is another Iron Man movie.

You should start a blog entitled Facebook Horror Stories from The Ween.

Moral high ground? Here on the Freaks board?!

Exactly - it's an internet forum where people hide behind usernames and a keyboard. Compared to facebook and YouTube comments sections Freaks is quite tame.

You never accepted the bet so it doesn't count, but I was wrong about the Rotten Tomato score. I admit it. Hopefully that's clear to whoever says they never see anyone admit when they're wrong in these forums.
