Even if the movie had funny actresses that I liked, I just can’t imagine this reboot working on any level. I feel like someone just told me they wanted to reboot Beethoven, but replace the dog with a cat. Like…how does this even work? If I saw any of these actresses in a commercial advertising their Ghostbusting services, I would not call them. Now the movie is over in the first act, and the theme song doesn’t make any more sense now.
I hate American romantic comedies.
I just recently watched the 40-Year Old Virgin and True Romance back to back with my girlfriend.
40-Year Old Virgin was so fucking bad for the whole duration, while True Romance managed to feel 10x more realistic and actually romantic than that garbage movie during the first 15 minutes already.
It’s always the same fucking superficial and morally questionable base frame with those fucking movies:
There’s something “wrong” with the main actor. Like Steve Carell being a virgin because he’sh loving his comic books and comic book merchandise.
Their friends give them horrible advice on how to correct their problem and they go with it, so people can laugh about awkward situations.
They meet someone who looks good and fits in terms of appearance to them, but they don’t have any common interests.
They start dating that person and shit goes well.
Their love interests misinterprets something there’s some kind of falling out between them.
The main actor confesses some shit and they get back together.
Main actor leaves his personality and the things he loves behind so he can be with a woman he doesn’t share any common interest with like any “normal” person would.
These movies are so fucking garbage and shallow it blows my mind how people can actually enjoy them. The moment Steve sold his comic/merch collection in order to marry that dumb bitch was the worst insult to every “nerd” I’ve ever seen in my life and I just don’t get how people can find that stuff morally sound.
In my opinion nothing was wrong with the guy at fucking all and all he needed was a woman who’s a nerd, too.
That stuff is fascism incarnate. The baseline of these movies is: “Don’t be different or you die alone!”. “Please conform, don’t question the status quo.”
I thought 40 year old virgin is more an over the top comedy than a romantic comedy, but I guess it is considered one. Personally, I liked 50 First Dates as well as Stranger Than Fiction.
By the way, Steve wasn’t “truly happy” when he was couped up in his apartment with his games and comic books. That’s why he tries to hang out with those coworkers, even though they have nothing in common. If Steve was content with his life, the movie would involve him playing his games the whole time. But no. He has been trying to break out of his comfort zone for quite some time because he wants relationships, and not with other gamers or else he would have made an effort to hang out with THOSE kind of people years ago.
like i said, i dont follow any of their careers closely, kinda like how you haven’t seen any of the new ghostbusters actresses movies (yet still presume your favorite actresses are funnier?), so i guess we’re both full of shit. in my mind romcom meant shit your girlfriend drags you to
Believe me I’ve seen bits and pieces of Mrs. Stay Puff Bitchlypuff’s movies. Her rollsout is worse than a certain Miltank gym battle from G/S. And I’m not even talking about a attack here.
Like its a good thing fs. Its kinda like the son running downstairs all happy to tell his father he is gay, and the old man just slumps to the ground with a broken heart.
Gonna be shite. I dont even care who is involved in its production, the guy who wrote Iron Man 3 is doing the screen play so highlights of the movie will be that the Ghostbusters are the bad guys or some dumb shit. Fucking Commander Tatum reporting to President Slimer or some coonhide bollucks of that level.
I’m pretty sure the Russos are some Marvel Studios infiltrates whose mission is to fill Sony’s head with stupid ideas so they bomb yet again and Disney can buy Spider-Man’s rights back.
