It really isn't. But the remake is about to shit on an excellent legacy.
>>
>>66710183
Chances are (considering Feig's track record) remake is going to be a much better movie.
>>
>>66710279
The trailer was SHIT.
>>
>>66710279
Yeah but you're wrong tho

Literally the only entertaining part of Spy was Rose Byrne and Jason Statham CLEARLY wanting to be in Crank 3
>>
>>66709998
Holy shit, are you actually trying to defend the reboot by pretending the original was terrible?
12 years old my ass, you're evil as fuck.

>>66710347
I see the trailer of new movie, it looks like a normal capeshit tier movie. But the hate towards is blown way out of proportion and I want to figure out why people think they childhood was raped again.

The obsession is on the production side of things. For whatever reason the studio seems to think Ghostbusters is an extremely valuable property and I do not understand why. The franchise consists of one good movie, a mediocre sequel, some okay cartoons/comics and a few mostly shitty video games.

Yet in spite of this they have been trying for decades to continue it, first with a proposed third film with the original cast that never got made because Murray actually saw it for what it was, and now with a crappy reboot with a gimmick for it's premise. If there had never been all this talk of a sequel over the last three decades I think most fans would have stopped talking about it long ago beyond discussions of classic 80's movies.

Now they've gone and spent millions on making a movie that nobody wants to see. Most old fans don't want a remake and any hopes of an actual sequel died with Ramis, kids don't know or care about Ghostbusters and despite all their shouting modern day feminists don't actually buy things so in the end we're just going to end up with a crappy movie that will flop and bury an already dead franchise even further down.

Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time.
I religiously watched the cartoon, had the awesome toys and still pop in the video game that came out a few years ago from time to time.
The problem isn't so much that GB is being remade since it was inevitable. It's that hollywood is trying to shoehorn in this bullshit leftist agenda.
It's not enough to make movies anymore. Now they have to be about oppressed minorities, "oppressed" women, how pathetic white "men" are, climate change, pop "science" or just straight up how fucking evil the republicans are.
Maybe I just want to watch brainless schlock to get away from how shitty this world is but that's escapism which has become a cardinal sin for some reason.
I hope the theater gets shot up at the world premiere of this piece of dog shit.

I don't "get it" either. I've never seen the movie, I just know le 80s kids pretend it's good for some reason. I'm actually looking forward to the new one because it has a qt in it.
>>
>>66709998

The same reason people are obsessed with anything, to fill some void in their hearts. However, Ghostbusters was legit entertaining and of course nostalgia plays it's own role.

>le 80's kids
I mean it's a great movie regardless of your age. I'm 19 and I think Ghostbusters is fucking awesome.

The reboot just seems like a soulless corporate attempt to cash in on the latest nostalgia thing.
>>
>>66709998

Ghostbusters sucks. Its only good moments belong to Bill Murray and even his best stuff is kinda rare in the movie.

I have no idea how people can look back on it with such fondness.

I mean yeah the new one looks terrible but the old one was really just an okay movie that doesn't at all justify the obsession you guys have with it. Might be time to grow up fellas.
>>
The first one scared the shit out of me when I was a little kid, especially the library scene. I loved the music too

That being said they weren't great movies. Let's just pray they don't remake Conan or demolition man. Those were actually great 80's/90's movies
>>
>>66711162
They already remade Conan and it was terrible

Top kek. Was it a scifi original?
>>
>>66709998
Yeah I never liked ghostbusters either. Stripes is the superior Ramis movie.

>>66711414
It was a theatrical release starring Khal Drogo.

I'm dreading the day Feig decides to remake Weekend at Bernies
>>
>>66709998
Because people are afraid to have their own opinions si when this movie is brought up you must say how awesome it is and use the word fuck multiple times while explaining how much you like it go show how cool you are.
>>
>>66711480
Yea you can't make weekend at bernies again because people like le black science man won't let you enjoy it for what it is and complain that rigor mortis is supposed to set in making the movie not plausible
>>
>>66711480
They won't. That was kind of a cult classic and I don't think too many people remember it. Also I think it's a little harder to reboot a pure comedy
>>
>>66709998

That's technically Star Wars though, which was only popular for special effects and glowing swords.

>tfw there will never be a Crank 3

Why would rose byrne want to be in crank 3 tho?

It was equally forgettable.

Same, but with Back To The Future

Lesbian sex with Amy Smart.
>>
>>66712031
>implying Chev Chelios can get his heart going by watching lesbian sex

He would have to get in there
>>
>>66710703
The original franchise made fuckloads of merchandising money.
>>
>>66712077
Fair point.

Though, my idea for Crank 3 would involve taking a shit ton of hallucinogens to combat the effects of a psychotic Russian mind scramble that programmed Chev to kill Amy. The whole thing is basically 100% hallucinations.

>>66709998
The first movie is spectacular.
