Why is the vast majority going ham on this lump of shit? It's the narrative they studio and director is trying to push, along with the characters that represent the easily offended PC brigade, which all reasonable people have made the conscious decision to shun. People are beyond fed up with their nonsense and everything they stand for, which is they'll be gunnin' for bear when it comes to anything that resembles them and their values- or lack thereof.

I am astounded they went "political" with this. I mean, isn't the whole point of meainstream that it is for everyone?
Now, I don't think that was the intention from the get go, it kind of just spiraled that way. But still. The studio ought to be on that shit and trying to play it down instead of playing it up."No presh from the Dresh!"

I've only seen two of Paul Feig's films: BRIDESMAIDS and THE HEAT. Both I watched on television and struggled to finish them without changing channels. I found both based on really repetitive, 'obvious' gags. Possibly a cultural thing. The fact that GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 is written by the writer of THE HEAT too doesn't bode well for me.
That said, when I was studying for my Masters degree about 17 years ago, one of my lecturers was a fairly 'known' film critic for the papers and it was a running gag with us students that if you mentioned the original GHOSTBUSTERS, he would very firmly denounce it as one of the films that was responsible for an immense decline in Hollywood films - and especially comedies. Of course, we tried to mention GHOSTBUSTERS wherever possible, as his very slightly outraged response to simply hearing the film's title would amuse us'You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like.

You should see Spy, Paul.
Sure it isn't perfect, but Jason Statham as an incompetend, sexist, chauvinist, asshole version of Bond pretty much steals the show. He is so good that I wasn't even annoyed by Melissa McCarthy!"No presh from the Dresh!"

Now this Ghostbusters movie can and will be easily forgotten. It looks pathetic. Like all the other remakes/reboots. They come and go without ever being brought up again. Thankfully. I like that Rick Moranis is the only old cast member with the sense to turn it down. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/fea...-why-he-829779 I get that at the end of the day it's just a silly movie and there's no harm in appearing in a small role. But I really like that he questions the point of it all. It just all seems so vapid and corporate driven. Ya know, like more so than usual. I'm insulted by this continuing idea that if I liked something once I must like all iterations of it forever. You like ice cream? Well I have 100 gallons for you to eat! It's all just too much. It disappoints me that my generation is now in charge of getting stuff made and has an unhealthy love affair with nostalgia. And that said generation continually lines up for this regurgitated crap with dollars in hand. Ugh!"When I die, I hope to go to Accra"
