the ending clicks, after the 9 minute mark, are the best.
not a shirt, but am ok with it
When the hell did a Mac and Cheese shirt happen? How did I miss that?
Oooooor, make a better movie.
Unlike Jack, I don't hate the Ghostbusters (2016) trailer because the cast is only women. I hate it because it seems like a terrible attempt to reboot the series. The original Ghostbusters set the bar pretty high so a lot of fans of the original were expecting something good. When I watched the trailer all I just kept thinking "These women are not funny," "These visuals look so bad," and "this looks so boring."
Lol you know that jack doesn't actually hate it just because it's all women, that's just joke
I was also joking @CoolGamer484
Goddamn I just can't do humor lol
Ah hah! He was actually joking the 5th time!
Sure trailers can be deceptive or edited wrong, but a Ghostbusters movie trailer that looks like a sitcom is not good. It's not even close to the tone of the original, and I think that's a reason a lot of people dislike it.
Of course, sexists also have a large part to play in the dislike ratio, but they ain't the only ones.
Yeah, the sitcom approach also doesn't work since none of the jokes are funny.
On one hand, yes, yes you're right. On the other, this looks like a soulless attempt to cash in on nostalgia but I'll wait for the movie to be out to form an opinion. The actresses didn't actually look bad in it but there was no dialogue that sold me on it, just looked like a lot of rehashing.
So if the trailer is showing me a vertical slice of the movie then what I should expect from this new Ghostbusters movie some ghostbusting, women objectifying a man, a man making sexist remarks to women and a character who is incapable of not behaving like a racial stereotype. This is all the trailer has shown me. It hasn't shown me that any of the humor in the movie is clever or that it is in fact going to try something new.
When I compare even the small amount of footage in the trailer to the original content, the quality of humor just doesn't even match up. Sure they changed Winston into an everyman before production instead of a 4th scientist, but atleast to me he still felt like an intelligent inidividual with a character of his own.
I am certainly all for an all women Ghostbusters. It'd just be nice if they were being portrayed as three dimensional, which the trailer doesn't illustrate. To be fair it could be the trailers show only the tasteless humor, but if that's true it's still a terrible awful trailer that has informed me not to watch this movie.
I think the "fan reaction" that he's calling people assholes over are the people who issue death threats or say he should kill himself over this reboot, and less over a bad reaction to the trailer. Although the geek community is OVERWHELMINGLY positive and a great thing to be involved with, we should all admit that there are some really big assholes lurking among us. For christ sakes, you as content creators can probably recognize that some "fans" take things way to far when they don't like things (i.e. swatting, death threats, DOX-ing, etc.).
So I get annoyed when I see a clickbait-y title that is more inflammatory than accurate (yes some geeks are really big assholes, not all of them-- as opposed to what your title suggests he said), it's kind of irritating to see you adding fuel to a very stupid fire.
Is the movie going to be good? Who knows, probably not. Is it worth the personal attacks the director and cast keep getting? Hell fucking no.
Thank you! The title and the part in the middle really irritate me, as he never talked about all of geek culture, yet they act as he did and the title is just inflammatory by misquoting him. And thanks for reminding me of "inflammatory" and "adding fuel to a fire", because I couldn't have said it any better. ^^
There were a fair number of people that weren't upset that the new Ghostbusters were women, but that Paul Feig didn't think a black women could be a scientist.
The new “Ghostbusters” and race.
They call this Ghostbusters reboot feminist. Not for black women
I didn't like the trailer because, honestly, it just didn't look good. It didn't make me want to see the movie at al
Before I start, let me just state that I have no interest in this film at all. Not crazy about the originals (nothing wrong with them, just don't hold them on this god like pedestal that some others do) meaning that I don't really care about the reboot.
I see this as a large scale version of what went on with Jeremy in AH. For months and months after he first started, some people would ignore any video that he was in with the "jeremy suck...we want the originals" kinda crap. Basically judging what he was gonna be like before ever sitting down to watch and see if something new was gonna be good. Now look at him, Lil J's heist came out and people were going nuts over it.
The same needs to be done for this film. It could come out to be a steaming pile of dogshit, but you don't know that until you watch it. Bitching and moaning about the direction its going in before you sit down to see if it works just makes you seem, as he says, like an asshole. If this film turns out to be really good and funny then all these people will have to eat their words.
Basically don't judge a book by its cover. Judge it after you've read it. Really don't see why that's so hard
The trailer is what we have been given to to judge this on if we want to vote with our wallets. It is the studio's responsibility to show us a trailer that will make us want to give them money to see their movie. I don't think it's a simple matter to take the money back after seeing the movie, so we should honestly be judging a book by it's cover in this instance. The other option is to wait to hear from reviewers, but that depends on if you know one that falls in line with your opinions and views. I would never encourage anyone to spend money to "try and see" if something is good, especially for something that isn't generally refundable.
@DreadScarlet True but how many times have trailers completely misrepresented films, like they mention in this story. The main one that always sticks in my mind is Reign of Fire. to me it's a great, serious film, yet if you watch the trailer it looks like the cheesiest action film in existence.
Also no-one is making anyone go see this film. If you can't justify paying money to go see it to see if you like it, then don't, but understand that you don't really have any legs to stand on if you want to criticize it.
A trailer isn't the cover, a trailer is a few pages of the book. And like whenever I pick a new book out, I read a few pages and only buy if I like it. If the pages are shit, it's fair to say the rest is shit.
