New 2016 Ghostbusters trailer is here

[Exophase]

I've read through a lot of obnoxious reviews of the film but this one is just fascinating:

http://www.mtv.com/news/2904048/ghostbusters-review/

It goes at great length describing how every male portrayed in the movie is really stupid and/or really evil. This is something that a lot of the MRA-types have been complaining about with this movie. Only this reviewer seems to be celebrating this, calling it a "middle finger to screaming brobabiez." And a take that to the "creeps behind the computers." I don't know how someone thinks this makes for decent cinema.

There has been so much ridiculous antagonism on both sides of this, over a movie that appears to be pretty whatever and noteworthy only for the most superficial of reasons. My impression is that the user views are grossly biased against it because of angry people (more male than female, but not entirely) who are hate voting the movie especially because of all the people who told them they won't give it a chance because they're sexists. And my other impression is that the critical views are grossly biased in favor of it because of all the social champions who applaud what they think it represents in a greater culture war and use feel important talking about social issues in a review position. And because others are too afraid of the repercussions for slamming it too heavily.

$17.2 million Friday opening, with 3.4 million on Thursday. Expected to get $46 million for the weekend, which represents the biggest openings ever for both Melissa McCarthy and Paul Feig.

Heh, it's funny that the reviewer would characterize it as "middle finger to screaming brobabiez" considering that the movie was done filming long before the majority of the backlash (which was based on the awful fucking trailer, not because the leads were female).

The movie just looks fucking bad.

Heh, good for them. No doubt all the "controversy" helped.

I'm hoping this movie does not succeed. Terrible movies should not be rewarded.

Early movie reviews from overseas markets starting to trickle in to YT.... very mixed bag. Some shills and agena-peddlers jumping up and down with glee, some extreme criticism, some liking it a little for reasons unexpected by anyone.

Next week, it runs into the new Star Trek movie. That should cut down Ghostbuster's viewership like an angry buzz saw.

I checked the top weekend grosses of all time and it didn't even crack the top 200. Below Green Lantern and the third Paranormal Activity.

Will be at comicon next weekend but hoping to catch the new Star Trek the weekend after.

Mike said it's the biggest POS he's ever seen. Wow, that takes talent to evoke the word "ever" from Mike. Dam

No kidding. "Best of the Worst" has had some major stinkers!

 

[Jaepheth]

Saw it, liked it. It was a fun movie.

Me, and both of my friends were laughing out loud quite a bit. The cameos were well done...

Yeah, the story and dialogue weren't all they could have been; they mostly served to get the train to its various comedy set pieces. But overall, I thought it was pretty ok.

Note: Theater I saw it in serves alcohol.

What do you think of "Pixels" or Adam Sandler?

That is indeed an important caveat.

Skipped that one

Not sure why he hated it. It was an OK movie. I didn't hate it, but it's not something I would say "YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THIS!"

To put it in perspective, it's better than Ghostbusters II.

I am reading a lot of reviews that say this.

This movie is rather polarizing for the reviewers, but it's an interesting type of polarizing. It seems there is a camp out there that says this is absolute crap, and then there is a big group out there that says it's not too bad, and better than Ghostbusters II.

BTW, I still for the life of me cannot remember what happened in Ghostbusters II. I saw it in the theatre, and I must have seen clips of it on and off on TV over the years, yet I have no clue anymore what the plot was about. Don't tell me. I feel that being in ignorance about this may be a good thing.

So they'll be running it on the Lifetime network?
