>as early as march 12, prolific youtuber comicbookgirl19, who has close to half a million of subscribers, shared her thoughts on the trailers, and why she disliked them

>she ended her video suggesting that audiences should not see the new ghostbusters movie, in order to send hollywood the message that re making movies has gone too far, and if they decide to support the movie, the inevitable "Back to the Future" remake will be their own fault.

>even though she told audiences not to see the movie there was no outrage. No media attacked comicbookgirl19.

>On May 16, James Rolfe, most known for his Angry Video Game Nerd character, posted a video as himself, not the AVGN, and gave calm reasonable arguements on why he had no interest in seeing the movie. He did not call for any boycott. He simply said he wasnt going to see or review it.

>James Rolfe made headlines, being painted as a man child, sexist, basement dweller.

Sony deserves to go bankrupt.

I am not even complaining about having females in this reboot: I am complaining about how fucking cheap and fake this reboot looks. They just do not care at all to make the ghosts look scary or realistic like they did in the 1984 movie. Instead they have decided to fill the movie with heaps of cringey dialogue, bad acting, fart jokes, making it seem like the studio who made Epic Movie is directing this and that this reboot is a parody of itself.

By watching this tv spot, it feels exactly like an Epic Movie/Scary Movie production

Bill Murray is who you should be blaming for no Ghostbusters 3.

If I remember right from the leaked emails Feig just wanted an all girls super hero movie. Sony just slapped GB on top of the project cause the property was gatherimg dust.

When my mom first heard of this reboot, she groaned and complained about Hollywood.

As more advertising has come out, she actually wants to see it now because she likes Melissa McCarthy, lol.

The main reasons this movie is getting hate has nothing to do with the main actors all being female - which is what this video is assuming is the ONLY criticism.

Resident Evil, Aliens - all these movies that have strong female characters are movies I love and enjoy as a male because they are perfectly made whilst this Ghostbusters reboot is a fucking parody of itself

They don't actually have to spin anything. There actually are a lot of sexist attitudes happening and instead of all the other people who hate the movie distancing themselves from it, they're doubling down on it and pretending it doesn't happen and that there is some big conspiracy against them. No one fucking cares that you don't want to see the movie. All this drama ironically just plays in Sony's favor.

JUST FUCKING IGNORE IT
>>
How is it that Sony is simultaneously the savior of video games and the cancer of movies?
>>
>>71574892
Sony's video games are made in Japan, a classic patriarchal culture that values hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility. Sony's movies are made in the US, an overfeminized regressive state that values entitlement, emotionality, and self-victimization. Spot the difference yet?

I often find that people who use this phrase have very little understanding of logic at all, and your post did not disappoint.

No, it is not "my logic" that every post on this site is meaningless and thus the site shouldn't exist. It is "my logic" that there's a significant difference between the type of interesting, stimulating, or at least mildly amusing discussion that's possible (from time to time) on this site, and the type of shrieking, saber-rattling call to fight the invisible war that exists in your imagination as a product of your own insecurities and lack of world experience. That kind of shit can go. The rest can stay.

>>
>>71572545
Sony has probably invested millions or hundred of millions in the Ad Campaign just to try to appeal to young women to hate Rolfe and then try to bring back males.

There's no way this movie is going to give them the profit they want to fix their financial hole they made.

And guess what will happen to the stars? They will complain and fuss and Sony won't back them as they have already spent too much already.

The long run for this movie is going to be much sweeter than the first day/week of its release, Star Trek will release the following week, crushing whatever hopes Sony has for Ghostbusters

I will guarantee that the people that complain the hardest about how Ghostbuster fans are sexist will not see the movie. It's a common SJW trope at this point. They did it with comic books, they did it with video games, they tried doing it with tabletop games, I actually saw them try to do it with software development(every Ruby developer is an insufferable hipster faggot) and now it's movies. They just want to complain. They won't actually financially support the thing they are trying to defend.

that whole "SJW" look existed before SJW were relevant.
if anything she has more of a punk-ish thing going on.... alternative "Scene kid" style.

it really makes me sad that the SJW took a style that was mostly used by punks and goth chicks. red hair, purple hair, piercings, shaved heads, NONE of that was SJW 10 years ago....
if anything people that had that kind of style were ANTI "trigger warning" they wouldn't get offended by anything, they would be the ones trying to offend everyone.
My ex was like that, she was a hardcore badass bitch that had blue hair and part of the head shaved. she gave no fucks about anything, she would give a middle finger to anyone annoying her. she WAS pro freedom of speech.
Punk was all about breaking rules, fighthing against the norm. I really have no fucking idea why the SJW took this look since punks represented everything SJW hate

Melissa McCarthy 5 years ago would have been a solid choice, if she were to deliver a similar deadpan performance as Bridesmaids. Lesbian Clinton woman and Leslie Jones, however, are no good. Clinton's "comedy" is 90% making funny faces, and Jones' is 90% screaming. Based on the trailers McCarthy has abandoned any comic instinct in favor of this approach as well. Wiig is not good enough to save it.

I hate most Sandler stuff, but Zohan was funny in a political way. It was so stupid and over the top I found it hilarious. As a normal movie, sure, it sucks, but I think it's pretty funny. Kind of like Love Guru. It was a shit movie, but fucking funny and retarded. It's like watching them just fuck around for a while.

Fuck this ghostbusters though. I mean, don't fuck the actresses... maybe mckinnen, but this movie is evil. I did like the Walk the Moon cover though, for whatever nothing that's worth.

Yes, it's to create proper 3D lighting on them and the stuff around them etc.

So like when she fights a ghost, she gets a glow from him, so when he's replaced with CGI or digitally enhanced, the glow is still on her.

Feig didn't make the movie in a vacuum. Sony could have stopped him at any moment. This wasn't done to them; they were totally onboard with his vision.

To them, an IP/franchise is just an exploitable name. They hired someone who didn't like Ghostbusters to make a Ghostbusters movie and gave him creative control. At no point did they look at the script and say "this isn't good, and a cynical use of the Ghostbusters name," at no point did they look at the production design and say "this doesn't look like Ghostbusters." It probably wasn't until they saw an early cut did they realize that Sony executives had dropped the ball in overseeing and guiding the project. They got the half-assed Ghostbusters remake they wanted, and they overpaid for it dearly.

Any idea if killing Bill Murray so he comes back as a ghost is still in the film?

only a dipshit rusemaster would think that pissing off the audience of a $150 million blockbuster is a viable marketing tactic

Sony were banking on that audience being nostalgic enough of the Ghostbusters name that they'd see anything with that name slapped on it. They thought people would shit their pants over a new Ghostbusters movie and see it in droves. The name and the ghosts were supposed to bring in the boys and the women were supposed to bring in the girls.

Unfortunately what happened was that Sony insulted everyone's intelligence instead.

My girlfriend left me three months ago. Ive been trying to date again recently and ive found that despite no matter how much dates i go on, there are never second dates or call backs. Girls didnt want me when they found out how much hate i really have inside me. If theu mentioned they were a demi-queer pan sexual whatever i would laugh as if ive just heard a joke. I would make slightly racist jokes (in good taste mind you) or make fun of the poor or mentally ill. I was used to that type of humor from being on here for so long. But i soon realised thats why none of these girls were calling me for another date. We are all filled with way to much hate and anger. Its no wonder we are so lonely. We cant be loved because we ourselves cant love. This realization has led me to reconsider my stance on this movie. Will i still see it? No. But do i want it to bomb and have everyone involved in the movie shamed out of town. I used to. Not anymore. We seriously have to stop being the internet hate machine and start....not hating things so much. Just let things be.

I'm willing to bet that this shot is from the finale sequence, where the ghost has transformed some section of NYC into what it looked like in the 70s.

It takes a lot of VFX work to redress a city street (check out the effects reels for Fincher's Zodiac if you don't believe me). They probably thought it would be simpler to just do the city street location from the ground up as a digital set rather than do a zillion of small, subtle effects.

Also, Paul Feig probably doesn't know how to handle a location shoot featuring practical effects
>>
>>71581695

It's cheaper.

It's cheaper to CGI an entire street than to film on location.

Most people don't even have a clue how expensive it is to film on location, even on a simple shot like this.

Also you have to pay the city money to stop traffic, and every hour counts so true it is much easier to just do it in a studio so you are not under stress to get it done as quickly as possible.

Although I have seen other behind the scenes footage of them on streets so it looks like the most important and longer parts such as these ghost fights are all studio based whilst the quicker stuff is location based.

>Because punk eventually became leftism with dyed hair.
Not at all. Leftism just copied the whole look from punks. Shit like being "politically correct" is the exact opposite of punk, which is about offending people. Most the punks I knew from high school became conservatives.

Girls don't like you because you're an ugly loser, not because of a misplaced sense of moral authority.

They were probably hoping you at least had money to spend, on them of course.

Women don't care what you think as long as it doesn't affect them fucking hot guys and having heaps of money spent on them.

>>tfw Feig could have gotten the original cast back including Ramis before his death and shot a Ghostbusters 3
Feig was NEVER EVER in a million years going to direct a Ghostbusters 3 with the original cast. Feig's version has literally always been an all female Ghostbusters.
If you want to blame someone for not getting a Ghostbusters 3 before Ramis died, blame Murray.

I'm quite happy to admit that a large part of my didinterest in this film is due to the female cast. Women are just crap at comedy.
