Naw, I dont care about Milo’s opinion on movies.
So the jury is out. Which is gonna be the biggest bomb of the summer: this movie or TMNT: Out of the Shadows (which only earned $80M worldwide)?
This movie is already doing better than TMNT domestically. It had a better opening weekend. $80 Million was how much TMNT made domestic. Worldwide it’s at $231 Million.
Roeper just ETHERED the fuck out of those “my soggy knees” 3rd wave feminazis they won’t dare respond to his article because they logically have no leg to stand on getting flamed harder than Adam Warlock making cooking well done steaks. Nigga just did exactly what he gets paid to do as honestly and objectively as possible and when salty tears are thrown his way he evaporates them with a fucking flame thrower.
Also serious question I’m curious if what this woman says is true, how is a man enjoying this film any different than an illegal immigrant supporting Trump?
(For the record, if anyone cares, SJW Ghostbusters supposedly made $46 million this weekend according to the local news. That said, I’ll still have to look for a source or two (or three) to confirm this and it seems to still have lost to The Secret Life of Pets even if that was true since Pets made $50 million. It was far above the third place movie though, which only made $11 million, but that’s probably largely because it was Tarzan, which no one seems to care about.)
Hmmm…I’d answer you with something purely sarcastic, but I’ll have to wait watch that review until I come back and do some errands and research.
Still, it’s odd that the first thing I thought upon getting to your was “huh, she’s rather cute.”
…Fuck. This means that Tekno Virus has finally infected me, hasn’t it?
…
defenestrates self
That’s probably for the best, honestly, given we usually argue given the relatively few times we’ve directly replied to each other given we typically hold radically different points of view, which is fine. It wasn’t anything of importance anyway, so I’m not surprised you don’t remember. I’m certainly not holding it against you or anything.
With regards to SONY’s bullshit, wow. That’s…low, even for them. Nice to see that they’re still suffering from the e-mail “hack”, even though it seems likely it was still more of a leak by disgruntled than an actual North Korean cyber-attack or something in response to that James Franco and Seth Rogen movie I can’t even remember the name of at present; it being a leak would certainly be the far less disquieting option given how poor cyber-security in this country (and around the world) is, but that’s an entirely different issue and thread, so I digress.
Yeah Red Letter Media shit all over the movie instead of dancing around it and saying well it had 4 women so GO WATCH IT.
She’s a SJW-lite but still hates on the movie.
Also some thoughts and reflections.
I really love this recommendation from Milo’s review above. If this were the actual film, I would totally watch it;
"It’s time to start again, with a movie that has integrity. So here are my suggestions for a fresh, true-to-life feminist reboot of the franchise.
- The film should open with a team of competent male Ghostbusters coordinating their fire and deploying equipment in a businesslike manner. Their prey appears to be a screaming banshee, a nightmare specter intent on dooming all around her to death.
It turns out to be a terrible mistake: the screaming banshee is one of our female leads, angry at a restaurant server for using the wrong pronouns. She sues the Ghostbusters, taking over their whole operation, and then hires her friends to be the new Ghostbusters.
- The Ghostbusters determine the best course is an all-female team, to secure lucrative government subsidies and Title IX certification. Like the military, they have problems finding women who can pass their rigorous testing, so they are forced to relax the physical standards for potential employees.
As a result, the two gals who aren’t beasts of burden are unable to carry their heavy proton packs into battle, and use cute motorized scooters to transport them. These are known as Ecto-2 and Ecto-3, and are each worth a cool million in merchandising.
-
Crossing the streams is not only allowed, it is encouraged. It is also renamed to ‘scissoring the streams’, blatant pandering to the film’s heavily lesbian core demographic. (I’m using the word “heavily” on purpose.)
-
An early mission for the new team will be a disturbance at a health food store. An obese female ghost is tearing the place apart, upset she can’t find anything tasty to eat. Maybe she is worried she will be late to the ghostly JC Penney sale. Anyway, she is being lectured in the health food store by the ghost of Dr. Atkins who wants her to shed weight.
The Ghostbusters capture Dr. Atkins while scolding him that “Ghosts can be healthy at any size.” The girls point the portly poltergeist toward the nearest pizza shop and try to give her a high five on the way out, but the ghost is so large she slimes them all.
- Every Ghostbusters movie needs a scene where all the captured ghosts are released on an unsuspecting city. Our fiendishly clever antagonist will organize all the ghosts in containment to identify as living people.
The Ghostbusters face a tsunami of bad press accusing them of bigotry towards the trans-living, resulting in them releasing the apprehended apparitions to wreak havoc once again.
- The happy memory that turns into a monster will be of comfort to the ladies. That’s right, they have to fight a giant tub of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. To make matters worse, they won’t have their equipment to fight it, since they accused their male secretary (Brad Pitt in a cameo) of mansplaining when he suggested their put their proton packs on the charger.
They have to take this ice cream down the old fashioned way, with big spoons, crying, romantic comedies streaming on their smartphones.
- In the final act we meet the real enemy of the female Ghostbusters— their parents’ dead hopes and dreams. Will the phantasmagorical manifestation of pure disappointment at the lack of grandchildren be too great for our stunning and brave womyn to overcome?
Will they finally show daddy, through piercings, pretension and proton packs that they don’t care what he thinks anyways? This is the sort of dramatic tension that is needed to make a successful summer tent-pole movie."
That pretty much all sums up why I wasn’t very interested in his movie review.
it has potential…it just depends on where they go from here. like i said before they force awakened it…lightly copy n paste…but sprinkled with original potential. holtzman was the fuckin star of this movie.
that is hilariously accurate, i’m glad i took the time to see what was happening on srk to see this.
re: this movie… as much of a miserable pile of afterbirth that this movie is, people are still so stupid that they will go see it and somehow find it enjoyable. this movie and the “controversy” are prime examples of what’s wrong with people.
The only review that matters is Roepers lol

Shots fired.
I am sure that is about as legit as her retweeting furry porn numbnuts.
Yea, you would think the 1980s movie would have the stereotypical black man.
But Ernie Hudson was chill as fuck.
So they DID want to make a stereotypical black dude?
I linked the article on the page before this one. Go back to page 17 and find out.
Eddie Murphy would’ve stuck out like a sore thumb in the original. There’s no way he’d let Bill Murray show him up.
Hollywood Reporter seeing through Sony’s spin on the film’s "success"
Eddie murphy would have made more sense being that they had a bunch of people from SNL and SCTV.
Dude lucky as hell really, shit they didn’t let him play himself in the cartoon and went with Arsenio Hall lol.
