>Just last week, the criticism flared anew, when a popular YouTube critic and the operator of Cinemassacre, a movie and video game fan site, announced that he would not review the film.

He is literally mentioned in the NYtimes

Is this the best thing that ever happened for james?

He is a manchild for not giving the movie of a source material he loves a fair shot, then again film studios should convince people to see flicks voluntarily rather than by obligation since it has Slimer, proton packs, etc.

He is a matyr because all these retards are calling him a misogynist on twitter and whatnot and he keeps being brought up in this shitty articles unfairly as the symbol of resistance when he's just a guy who didn't get what he wanted (not ever actually criticizing what's there)

So, no, you are the retard.

>He is a manchild for not giving the movie of a source material he loves a fair shot

But it has nothing to do with the source material. It may have slimer and the proton packs, but it has no connection to the original Ghostbusters flick. That's exactly what James was complaining about. It proves that this new movie calling itself Ghostbusters is obviously just cashing in on a recognizable name, and that no one working on it genuinely wants to continue the Ghostbusters legacy in any meaningful way.

A portion of these profits will be coming from people who are expecting the movie to be bad, especially since Sony is fully aware of the negative reception the film is getting.

Well yeah, the Ghostbusters were men, this is actually important to what people enjoyed about those movies. Despite what cultural Marxism tells us, men and women are totally different and have different dynamics. Scientists who act like working class schmoes is kind of a key component here that's lost with women because women in the work place are different. I have the same reaction to "female Ghostbusters" as I do to "PG-13 Robocop"

Movie is panned by critics, and fans alike -> person wishes to see movie so they can complain about it -> movie ends up making a fuckton of money despite an awful score -> sequel is planned.

What in the world did James say that wouldn't be considered moderate?

He didn't even comment on the gender issue, and in fact spent pretty much the whole video talking about why, if the film looks bad, no one has an obligation to go see it, especially if they love the source material and don't want to see it ruined--as is true in James' case.

What about that is "radical", besides that it disagrees with you? Since, after all, not all opinions that you're opposed to are radical.

Yeah, I watched the video too and felt perplexed by the drama when I found out that it was just good old James going on one of his autistic rants about sequels and naming confusion for movies + what you said.

The only reason why there is any controversy is because a bunch of braindead-but-socially-conscious tweeters started drama about it. Naturally, people who are fans of James started engaging the blue-haired faggots in argument and voila, it is now this radicalized debate where """"journalists""" can write clickbait throwaway articles about identity politics for that sweet, sweet ad revenue.

All the tumblrinas and feminazis fail to realize that we made James hard as fuck by trolling him already. He's basically immune at this point.

Looks like the little woman child pout-fest is over. All it takes is a man with a spine and the angry little fat girls that couldn't land a man go back to tumblr. It's nice to see women being put in their place.

Media critics and people who cover media talk about this.

Journalists who cover actual news don't. This isn't exactly trending on major news outlets, it's just niche coverage in niche sections of various publications. Even major publications cover shit like theater, etc that most people don't even glance over.

People are making way too much about this because it's in their wheelhouse, but the people who actually give a shit about world news/politics/economics etc... this isn't on their radar at all.

My path is clear.

I'm going to make a career making films starring exclusively transgender Muslims.
They will all be unconscionably bad, but if current trends are any indication, by the time I begin no one will able to criticize the tiniest detail about them.
People will struggle to keep a straight face as I bust out every cliche in the book. The plot will make no sense, the dialogue will be unrealistic, the acting will be stiff, and every scene will look like it was shot on a cell phone camera.
But one word of bad press, and I'll have a legion of loyal Twitter warriors ready to cry discrimination.
I am the future you chose.

The reason he made the video was because all his fans knew he was a huge ghostbusters fan and they were like "hey AVGN are you gonna review the new one?"

So, because he was getting so much of this, he made the video to explain why he's not going to do it.

But then, since his fans know he's a huge ghostbusters fan, he'd get harassed about not doing a review nor stating why he wasn't.

In fact, he was already getting some of that from his fans for not commenting on the controversy.

So, instead, he comes out with a video saying to his fans that yes, there will be no review and yes, they should stop asking about it because no, he doesn't think it looks good, and yes, he does think it's an ugly-ass cash-grab.

So he then gets harassed for doing that.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't: if he says and does nothing, the his fans get antsy. If he watches and reviews it, then he'll have trouble living with himself as a diehard fan of the series. If he does nothing and says that he's doing nothing, then the fans of the movie say that he's a misogynistic fuckwad who should be locked in a room and set on fire.

That was a real comment, by the way. Man, progressives are soooo progressive....
>>
>>70138414
What reason could there be for expecting a shit storm? People were asking for his thoughts, and he made a video explaining to his viewers he wont be reviewing it. He never even said he did not have an opinion, he said he thought it looked awful. He was not using some grand rhetorical strategy, he was honestly saying he does not want to see a movie that looks bad and that he is not interested in. Still nothing justifies trashing his appearance and person on social media, mostly by people who did not watch the video.

The movie is an absolute mockery of the worst kind. On one side it conveys a blatant, unbelievably stupid political message and on the other, it shows a complete lack of understanding of the source material and what made the original so good. The only way it could work is as a ghostbusters parody.

Also, james rofle is one of the only truly great and creative internetainers (sorry for using such a pleb word), not falling for any stupid trends and still succeeding by doing whatever the fuck he wants. He did nothing wrong with the video, and the reaction to it only shows how fucking idiotic third wave feminism is.

Just my two cents, and i'm out.

You're missing the point. The idea is to take some franchise that's beloved by women, take advantage of its existing popularity and reboot it with all shitty male leads, and if anyone criticizes it we point at them and call them sexist for not liking it.
Sex and the City was just one example, another might be to remake the Notebook or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with Stephen Segal, Steve Austin and Sylvester Stallone.
