I’ll pass…
Twilight, hunger games and 50 shades of grey already happened.
nigga…wut? only one of those movies actually had a female hero.
It’s amazing to me that these pro-reboot people are single handily the reason so many people will not see the movie lol. If they had just let the movie speak for itself and not push it so hard it wouldn’t have gotten the backlash it did.
(…Wow, I keep reading that woman’s last name as “Chink” even when staring dead-on at it and consciously recognizing there’s no “h” there.)
Unfortunately, that’s still less worrisome than the appearance of some extreme self-importance and delusional idiocy in the nature of the response that 2-D showed he got from her in the Lounge, which just furthers my point from last page that a significant amount of this movie’s revenue, even if it ultimately does terribly or at last doesn’t make its money back, will just be people from simply seeing it as a some lazy political statement. This rather than wanting to see it for any actual interest in Ghostbusters as a franchise or even just a standard alone concept, which is ironically more sexist than the cries of misogyny that aren’t actually applicable to most of its critics; of course, this is fitting with the double standard when it comes to women being sexist and never getting called on it, so it’s not surprising.
Sigh. Gods, this year has been so fucking stupid from the get-go and it seems like people manage to only get dumber as time goes on.
Fuck that bitch, I want to see movies where women are OBJECTIFIED!!
(If that’s the case, then ironically at least two of makmak!!'s otherwise erroneous examples arguably qualify given the nature of both Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey, especially given the latter is something that started out as even more poorly written Twilight fan-fiction.)
If nothing else, then all that I’ve learned about Paul Feig in past couple of days has at least finally answered one of the nagging questions I’ve personally had about this entire film for while. Indeed, beyond the “revolutionary” tactic of essentially using the gender equivalent of “separate but equal”, I now see why they didn’t just use the Extreme Ghostbusters cast if they were supposedly trying to be so “ground-breaking” about this and make it about some type of overly political message, even though Kylie is already the most popular character of those four characters: Feig is simply too much of a traumatized cu**nt that basically seems to have, haha, “internalized misandry” caused by childhood bullying he simply never got over.
If he apparently sincerely believes that men can’t actually be funny (despite being that making him an ingrate in asking three of the original Ghostbusters to help promote the movie), then I genuinely feel fucking sad for him. Still, that genuine pity isn’t going to stop me from avoiding anything else he becomes involved in now like the goddamn plague or calling him a dumb-ass for previous comments and doubtless future ones like them, though; I’m similarly still going to laugh at him if the predictable “this movie only bombed because of misogyny” card is used in the event of that this movie possibly “fails” monetarily or at least doesn’t perform as well as it “should”.
[details=Spoiler]Seriously, though, a dance number? That still made it to the final version before re-shoots? What.
What the fuck were you thinking, Mr. Feig? That India would save your ass if you randomly included that? Did you intend to have the main cast also suddenly dressed in wet saris too and defeat Rowan by praying to Krishna for power? I guess you have to try to make that India money if you can’t pander to China like Michael Bay did, but still it just fails even on a logical plot level: why the fuck wouldn’t Rowan just possess the main characters when they’re the only ones who are actually a threat to him? [/stupid writing complaints][/details]
The Damned knows his Bollywood.
That’s probably the most interesting thing I’ve learnt from this thread.
(Shrug.)
To be fair, my mother tends to like (random) Indian movies. That and TV Tropes (and that one weird episode of Sanctuary) are basically the only reason I know anything about Bollywood than what “everyone” “knows”. It’s not like I’m Indian or anything unlike some people around here.
cough@"Dangerous J"cough
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to be send myself into a temporary state of catatonia to purge myself of the mental images of both Leslie Jones and–ugh, my skin crawls just thinking about it–Melissa McCarthy in wet saris. Please excuse me.
I bet that @specs believes that those women lambasting the movie is because their internilized misogyny
More reviews.
A positive review here.
I know you’re stupid and have difficulty understanding words, but try real hard to take this in:
There’s a big difference between hating a movie because you didn’t like a movie, and hating a movie because you hate women and would have given the exact same movie a chance if less women were involved.
Plenty of people hate the movie because of real damn valid reasons. Given SRK GD’s proud status as 4chan 2.0, I have 99.6% faith in folks here hating the movie because they’re (wannabe) MRAs whose delusion is so grandiose even Dr. B would need more than one parry to get through it.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It’s just a movie guys, no need to let a single movie that no one if forcing you to see get your panties in a bunch it feels like everyone on both sides get so heated they forget this simple fact and let it ruin their day lol.
The thing is that the people getting pissed off are those that for some reason want to force (via shame and insult) others to see this movie. If mainstream media outlets spent less time insulting men who don’t want to see the movie and more time giving a good reason to see this movie, perhaps this controversy that they manufactured wouldn’t exist.
Easily the most ridiculous thing said on this subforum.
Good job.
I fail to see how they manufactured a controversy that was created entirely by male reactions to the audacious idea of women starring in a remake that originally featured men.
Sounds like the media didn’t manufacture shit, and instead reported on how angry manchildren actually made Olympus Mons out of a molehill.
Perhaps one day, when you’ve finally, finally abandoned this garbage dream to be seen as an “OG SRK elite” – which you’ve been fighting for, for years now – you’ll see just how much SRK GD’s garbage aligns with your typical 4chan board.
Until then, keep to the plan. Suck up to the right posters, pick the right targets, do everything in your power to be loved by one of the shittiest group of people on the internet. It’s good to have goals.
(I dunno maybe try clever sexual innuendo about how people you’re “owning” are sucking your dick? It works for at least a couple of posters, though admittedly they’re way, way smarter than you.)
Insert a gif of that one time Cell did that two finger “see you later” thing after sparing Trunks, because I’m way too lazy and indifferent to find or make one.
Second most ridiculous thing said today.
Wanna go for a turkey on this one?
Two more days, guys! Can’t wait!
