What's with the front pockets on the 2 fatter ones?
Too hot to handle too cold to hold, they call them 3 crackers and a token black. Had em reboot a classic for a bunch of children while all the while Slimers under the building .... wanking at the new up skirt movie.
No, the remake of Ghostbusters didn't spoil anyone's childhood. It just annoyed the fuck out of people. Instead of 3 unattractive white guys and a token black they have 3 unattractive white chicks and a token black.
The only thing they could add is bukkake jokes when they get slimed. Why all women? Well we're going to have a female President so why not? And the outrage at women might make up for the lack of originality.
I'm not outraged, I'm perplexed. Who the fuck wanted this film?
How could you get any more funny than Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd? It isn't possible. I saw Melissa McCarthy in the movie Tammy and that was just awful. Anyone else I don't really know. Kate McKinnon does stuff on SNL but that show hasn't been funny for years.
Ghostbusters became a part of pop culture and it still is, it's just a little dated. I don't get remakes if the original was good to start of with. Something like the Texas chainsaw massacre hit a nerve because that shit had never been done before, when the remake came around in 2003 slasher films were bleh, whatever. I don't think I even saw it, if I did it was so unremarkable I forgot it.
The same with the Evil dead remake. Hit movies are to do with the time and the cast more than anything. Bruce Campbell wasn't in the 2013 Evil Dead movie but was in the TV series. I tried watching the show but it wasn't as good, its sell by date was up. I hate it when you get new, younger characters forced upon you.
Zoolander is a brilliant movie but its timing after 9/11 wasn't great, it became a cult hit years afterwards. The second film is just as good but probably because the cast have aged well and the same humour is still there.
I was worried about Star Trek as how could you replace Kirk, Spock and Bones but they did it. Enough to be like them but different. Scotty was amazingly miscast though. Could they not find someone that could do a Scottish accent?
The Khan movie was a let down because we already knew who Khan was, even with Kirk dying it was a bleh one. Does Kirk have superhuman strength now thanks to Khan's blood?
It was like Starlord, the famous outlaw no one had heard of ... my name is Khan ... um, ok.
Star Wars had the same Ghostbuster reaction, a black person in the lead role? .... well actually it was a chick in the lead but not that you could tell from the merchandising. The struggle wasn't Rebels against the Empire but watching the old Han and Leia acting together in scenes. As exciting as visiting a rest home.
I'd actually like the Empire to win, how is putting elitist Royals in charge better? The socialism of the Empire works for me. Everyone gets a blaster and a motocross outfit .... sure the minimum of blaster training but pew pew pew.
Who doesn't have dickhead bosses that choke you now and again? No means NO Vader. The Darkside has cookies? You had me at laser swords and black masks so you don't put yer eye out. Also I like saying Rebel scum.
So excuse the fuck out of me if the media is telling me I'm sexist about Ghostbusters or I'm whining because I had some happy memory from the past ruined. Um the original movie was good but not THAT good, it wasn't life changing.
I'm just about shite remakes getting too much attention. I want movies like Zombieland, Zoolander,Oblivion and Tropic Thunder.
No repeat Bonds or Jack Ryan, as Zoolander 2 said, lets have a Jack off night.
Bring me more Superheroes but not the rehashed Batman, Superman and Spiderman crap. If I have to live through yet another origins story.
Where is my Captain Britain or Alpha FLight? Alcoholic Brit superheroes with issues and Canadian super peeps that know Wolverine. Peter Dinklage may have been in an X-men movie already but he was born to play Puck.
I'm pretty sure there are new stories out there. Look at TV shows like Preacher for fucks sake, sure it was a comic at first but only dorky male virgins have ever heard of it, new can be done.
