Remember when Hollywood made cool, original and fun moviesthat weren't based on capeshit or books?

New ideas do not sell (unless you put a famous movie star in the lead).
That is how Hollywood is nowadays. It isnt a conspiracy. It is a fact.
The reason there are so many remakes is because they sell. But with this new Ghostbusters getting so much hate, well that is a message to Hollywood to think about what they are doing.

Did it flop tho?

Not yet. It got a $17m opening tho.
Americans aren't discerning anymore. It used to be entertainers had to work to get applause, let alone ticket sales. Now you tune into late night talk shows and see the audience falling over themselves whooping and hollering, and if they don't react the way they're supposed to to a certain "joke", the host and guest berate them.

I kinda wish capeshit and "cinematic universes" would just fucking die out so we can get nice standalone movies like we used to.
A trilogy and nothing more. That should be the standard. No splitting the last movie up into two parts, no "hints at a sequel", none of that shit.

I hope they reboot BTTF with a female Marty who has to avoid her father's intentions in the past.
the 80s/90s were the end of originality in American culture
We're just running on fumes and nostalgia now.

but back in the day, Holywood was able to do both. And often did. Like pretty much any mid-80's-mid-90's Arnold/Stallone/VanDamme movie.

thankfully, Robert Zemeckis has control over the franchise, and has vowed to block any attempts at a sequel or reboot. And Bob Gale feels the same.

I actually saw a pitch for that in time magazine... I almost ended life then and there
