Was he right?
>>71628630
Obviously.
>>71628630
yes
GHEERRSTBUSTERRRSSS
Yes. If you have an overwhelming morbid curiosity just pirate a camrip. Do not pay for this movie. Force the studios into risk and original ideas. Mainstream movies have been like fucking Groundhog Day for more than a decade.
>>71628740
>>Groundhog Day
Now I have to go watch that again.
Yes, but unfortunately, this movie will still make bank because of people that are curious about how bad it'll be.
The review embargo on this lifts today, right?
>>71628901
I just catched it today actually
>>71628740
I can't tell if you mean they have a similar tone to the movie, Groundhog Day, or that it's a never ending cycle of remakes.
His intentions may not have been malicious, but what was the point in making a video like this when it would only throw fuel unto the fire of the hate campaign directed against this movie?
>>71629078
airing in your homecountry I take it?
>>71629089
I realized the sentiment could have been cleared up by not including the word "like" before Groundhog Day. Sane people would still be able to get the meaning, but I didn't account for autists. Of course I meant never ending cycle of remakes.
>>71629104
I think it was more him trying to wake his audience of subscribers up and encourage them not to see it.
>>71628630
>Hurr durr the trailer looks bad
>Hurr durr this is not a review
>Hurr durr I refuse to watch the movie
>Hurr durr I actually watch bad movies all the time, but this one is special
What was the point of this again? Is he taking some political/consumerist stand against filthy cashgrabs? It's like a fucking infomercial. I haven't actually seen this movie either, but then I thought ghostbusters was a mediocre series to begin with.
>>71628901
why not just wait for the remake?
>>71628716
still one of the best episodes ever
>>71629104
To explain to the fans who keep emailing him asking "Did you knwo there's gonna be a new Ghostbusters?/Are you gonna review the new Ghostbusters movie?" that he's not going to bother.
>>71629157
>can't into similes
>everyone else is an autist
>>71629197
>groundhog day remake
Melissa McCarthy as Phyllis
Ryan Gosling as the producer she bags by the end
>>71629195
The point of this was to get his fans to shut the fuck up. For months they've been saying "WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE GHOSTBUSTERS TRAILER?!" and "ARE YOU GONNA REVIEW THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS?!"
I don't get why so many people miss the point of the video, at one point in the video he directly talks about how he gets tons and tons of questions about the new Ghostbusters.
>>71629275
>implying phil won't be a transgender person of color
>>71628740
>>Groundhog Day
Now I have to go watch that again.
>>71629305
So? By not answering his fans he has done what exactly? Taken a stand against his fans? Is he arrogant enough to think he is above all his 2 million fans? What a disgrace this person is.
>>71629004
Yes. First reviews should be up about 3 p.m. EST.
>>71629393
>So? By not answering his fans he has done what exactly? Taken a stand against his fans?
Are you autistic? He politely told them that he isn't going to review it because he doesn't wanna support it since it's raping one of his all time favorite movies.
>Won't go see remake just because it shares a name with a movie he likes
Hail James, slayer of nerd-industrial complex.
>>71628901
It's shit
>>71629393
He DID answer his fans, you autistic fuck. With the video.
His answer was "it looks bad from the trailer and I love the original Ghostbusters too much, so I'm not going to bother seeing it".
The fact that such a benign and personal opinion was used as the stage for a battle of a ridiculous culture shows how fucking obnoxious the world has become.
>trailer didn't convince me to watch a movie
>must be mysoginete
>>71629393
The only thing that people who follow Youtube reviewers are looking for is confirmation. They either want someone to tell them how to feel about something or to repeat their own opinion back to them so they feel validated. Kill yourself.
>>71629480
>supporting a movie by reviewing it
That's a retarded argument. He has already made a video with "ghostbuster 2016" in the title, hence he is already giving the movie publicity, and thus supporting it.
>>71629528
No, that was his excuse.
Obviously /tv/ is against his whole 'if you know it's going to be bad, then why are you paying to see it?', they hate most movies before they come out and they still see them.
>>71629586
>makes a video saying the movie isn't worth seeing
>is somehow still supporting the movie
The only retard here is you, friendo
>>71629597
The amount of people who actually go out and pay to see movies around here is a fraction of a fraction of the people posting about them. Most wait for rips.
>>71629305
Then he should have just written a tweet or sent out an email to his subscribers. He made a whole video about it and put it on youtube. He wanted attention.
>>71629586
How is "I am not going to review this movie because I don't want to see it" not a response to his fans asking when he was going to review the movie?
>>71629630
I can kinda see where that anon is coming from. Him putting Ghostbusters in the title has nothing to do with it, but him talking about the movie still gives news sites opportunities to spin the story and avertise the movie. He wanted to make a small video for his subscribers to tell them he won't be reviewing the movie, but he ended up just opening a can of worms.
>>71629630
No, retard, and here's why.
If you judge books by covers/movies by trailers, you are an arrogant cunt whom doesn't know how to judge literature/cinema. He even admits the movie may not be bad, but still he refuses to see it. This is hands down a thinly veiled "please dont get angry at me feminists waah" video, and is worthless crap. What the fuck is the point of a reviewer who doesn't even review?
Furthermore, if he didn't want to support this movie, all he would have to do was not acknowledge it. Because you and I both know, that if a movie has no publicity, it has no customers, and then the shitty mainstream idiots who pander to hollywood flicks lose money and are discouraged.
>>71629782
tl;dr
>>71629782
>If you judge books by covers/movies by trailers, you are an arrogant cunt whom doesn't know how to judge literature/cinema.
>>71629667
>tweet
That would've only reached his hardcore fans. He has over two million subscribers on YouTube and less than 200k followers on twitter.
>sent out an email to his subscribers
You can't do that on YouTube.
>>71629782
>If you judge books by covers/movies by trailers, you are an arrogant cunt whom doesn't know how to judge literature/cinema.
The whole point of a trailer is to get someone interested in a movie. There's nothing wrong with refusing to see a movie if the trailer is a fucking mess that disgusts you.
>>71629782
A trailer is meant to give you insight into what the movie will be like, ideally to convince you to go see it.
The entire point of trailers is to affect people's opinions of movies before they see it, because people have limited money and time and you want them to pick your movie.
Why is it suddenly bad if someone sees a trailer and has the opposite reaction?
>>71629782
People decide whether or not they want to watch movies by their trailers all the time, that's the point of them. He's also not a professional critic and has no obligation to go review something he has no interest in.

>you're only allowed to let a trailer positively affect your desire to see a movie, or else you're an attention-seeking sexist whose opinions aren't real
>>71629782
Book covers aren't really comparable to movie trailers. A book cover is just a picture that sometimes doesn't tell you anything about the book, a movie trailer has clips of the movie and is supposed to either give you a basic plot summary or show you the tone/style.

Anyone who says they never made a judgement about a movie based on its trailer is lying sack of shit.
I really hate this recent trend of argument that you shouldn't judge movie by its trailer. Funny how this argument got popular only after the first GB trailer was roundly regarded as shit.
Not going to lie, I can't blame Sony. They want to make a profit. If they have to beat the misogyny drums and cry sexism, then good for them. In the end, the market will decide.
>>71630302

What kind of accent does James have? He pronounces bury "burry" and Sigourney "Sigerney". Not hating on it, but I just can't place it
>>71628630
Of courshe!
>>71630380
The person who posted that is the same fat piece of weeble wobble shit who made the video. Boogie is a notoriously kowtows to everyone with a strong opinion so everyone will like him or at least not hate him. It has the opposite reaction, obviously.

>>71631281
What is your point? Someone is going to watch a movie they think looks shitty, so if someone else doesn't they're in the wrong?
Why are you acting like people have some kind of moral obligation to watch this movie?
James even said the movie could be good, he just had no desire to see it or review it personally based upon his relationship with the old films and how the trailer rubbed him.
Why are you acting like it's fucking unthinkable for someone to just not want to watch a fucking movie?
>>71629782
Let's hear you use this argument to defend Adam Sandlers new film. Cos you can't judge a book by it's cover right!
>>71631639
No point. Someone asked to sum it up. I summed it up.
Ask whoever posted the video.
>>71629976
>The Critic was a bad show

>>71629492
It's presenting itself as part of an established universe in a franchise he holds dear, and he's rejecting that by not spending any of his money on that insulting pile of trash.
>not muh ghostbusters!
the movie looks like shit no doubt but the manchildren making the stink about it is even 10x worse
serves you right for being that much of a faggot in the first place, here's to a sequel
>>71629939
Because you're replying to a Sony shill.
>>71630536
I can't help but notice how he says the word bad. He pronounces it "baed."
>>71631784
I'm not him, but The Do-Over wasn't terrible. It did still have that dumb grossout humor like they showed an old lady's really saggy tits, but it was a mediocre movie overall. Plus they had some nice young lady tits so that kind of balances that out.
>>71629976
that's FACT
>>71629782
So we should just give them money no matter what?
How else can you tell if you want to see a movie or not besides the trailer, unless you pirate then pay?
>>71630269
Why do you watch this guy? He clearly stated that his only source of income is youtube, so he will always be afraid to give his own opinion about matter and he will just follow the buzz, he is afraid to piss anyone off, im avoiding him for a couple of months now.
I dont like people who dont speak thier minds and just apeal to the masses, fuck that shit!
>>71632821
A lot of people only make money from YouTube, in fact, I think James makes all if not most of his money from YouTube. I didn't watch the boogie video though so idk.
>>71632935
Man when i watch video and i see someone restraining himself from telling what he really thinks, thats huge turn off for me. Just watch one video of him and you will notice.

He makes some really compelling arguments regarding Winston. While the others were each some kind of stereotype, he was the only rational person of the four. Having him there was a valuable part of the comedic delivery and effect. With these four characters in the reboot/revival/whatever, they're all some kind of stereotype. There is no insert for the audience to immediately identify with.Wiig is so much better than this, and shouldn't be associated with this dumpster fire.

If you don't like this movie, you're a misogynist, end of story.
Whether the movie succeeds or fails on its own merits is beside the point. Politically, it cannot fail, it can only be failed.
>>71637945
What?
>>71628740
It's not just the fact that it's a cheap remake. It's the SJW agenda.
I am not going to watch a chick flick. Ever. I'm not a woman.

Why wouldn't he relish in reviewing a bad ghostbusters movie and getting a shit ton of views? He used the incident to take a conservative stance
>>71639655
Because he's fan of the franchise and doesn't want to throw away money at bullshit
>>71628630
Yes and the trailer was very cringe worthy same goes for suicide squad
>>71639758
This. He's not TGWTG, he watches what he feels like, and shares his opinion when he feels like. He literally only said something here because his fans wouldn't stop bugging him about it. If he was known as a big Warcraft fan, they would've bugged him about that too, except feminists wouldn't have attacked him over his refusal to watch that movie.
>>71632441
I mostly agree with this. I won't call the Ghostbusters fans manchildren, but people shouldn't have made such a fuss about it. There were countless trailer reaction videos. People were too vocal in the comment sections for the trailers on YouTube. This was all just what Sony needed to get free publicity, and call the naysayers sexist. We should've ignored it like the Point Break reboot. The movie would've came out, bombed, and nobody would've gave a shit. Now, we probably will get sequels for this.
>>71640285
It's still going to bomb. Feminists don't put their money where their mouth is. Not in large enough numbers to support a movie that needs to make $800 million to be profitable.
Nobody cared when a women said she thought the new ghostbusters sucked. They only care when it's a white fucking male.

>>71640445
>$800 million to be profitable
Wasn't the movie's budget $150 million?
>>71640711
yes
>>71640821
So wouldn't it only need to make $150 million to be profitable?
>>71640876
That' called breaking even. There's also money spent on advertising, theater cuts, etc. It doesn't need to make $800 million but it would have to make at least $400 to not be a flop.
>>71640558
Feminists can't have anyone seeing that it's more than just men disliking the look of the movie.
>>71641007
oh ok, I thought the 150 budget included advertising and all those other expenses. I'm glad because that means the movie has to do better than I thought it would.
>>71636338
Never forget.
