Ghostbusters reboot with all-female leads

[YoNoSe]

This movie could be good, despite my own doubts. But FFS don't believe Dan Aykroyd about it.

 

[DFanatic]

Hopefully it bombs and then it can lay to rest for another ten-twenty years until it's rebooted again.

Amen.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

well this should start some interesting discussion...

"As originator of the original: Saw test screening of new movie. Apart from brilliant, genuine performances from the cast both female and male, it has more laughs and more scares than the first 2 films plus Bill Murray is in it! As one of millions of man-fans and Ray Stantz, I'm paying to see that and bringing all my friends!" - Dan Aykroyd

These are my favorite parts. It's like he's talking to children

It's just too obvious, based Aykroyd.

Beat me to it!

Saw this on another forum and I guarantee you this is the #1 reason why most people will see this movie:

I'll be seeing Ghostbusters and Wonder Woman no matter the reviews because they're huge tentpoles and I want them to do well so studios know that women can lead these kinds of movies.

Again, it's all about Gender Politics.

 

[GasparZizou]

People will see GB out of morbid curiosity, and probably most of the casual audience will like it.

But imo there's nothing wrong with WW being a gender tent pole.

Yeah, I give Wonder Woman a pass on that, too because... it's freakin' Wonder Woman, a true cultural (and gender) icon.

 

[karamazov80]

Gender icon, though perhaps not for the right reasons. . .

Sad times for Dan Aykroyd. Unless he's channeling this guy:

It's amazing how first world countries can have third world mentality. It has nothing to do with Ghostbusters being women, it's about a being a crappy movie.

 

[Shawpaw]

Only thing that makes me more mad than the **** golden state warriors beating okc, is this movie.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I went to see Batman and Superman, unfortunately...Superman was nowhere to be found, and Batman had one good 3 minute sequence, which had nothing to do with fighting Superman.

He is one of the executive producers, of course he's going to shill for it.

I have a feeling a lot more people would have skipped this movie but the angry nerds had to make such a stink that it's gotten more attention than it would have. I think you are going to hear about women going to see this just because they didn't like the backlash it received on the internet.

Plus we all know angry nerd = midnight Thursday screening.

Opening weekend will be okay for sure.

The more scares refers to the 4 chicks that were cast.

Bill Murray will also be prolly saying this is funnier than the original like Chevy Chase did with the Vacation reboot....

 

[Matt S]

Proof that Aykroyd is either:

delusional. On the Payroll. Or both.

 

[Snake Plissken]

You forget nuts.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Dan Aykroyd hasn't been a relevant voice in comedy in years. There isn't anything he can say that will make me believe this is a good/funny film.
