Plan B being even more hate-slinging, eh?

The only thing I've been using this crap movie for is the blind bag merch from the original movie. Got Peter, Ecto Peter, and Egon out of the three I bought. They had some of the new movie, but I'm not planning on buying any of those.

Just incase anyone wants to know what I'm talking about.

I heard the exact opposite story.

So, whose anecdotal evidence is stronger?
 
Okay, as soon as possible someone needs to get a copy of this movie. We are hosting an Emergancy Movie Night event to watch this trainwreck.

I'm keeping tabs on my usual haunts in case it shows up there. I'm hoping next Friday we can watch the first two Ghostbusters flicks and if possible, throw the 2016 beast in there as well. If not, I'm sure I'll have something no later than the following Friday.

This is just...sad. Like pitifully so.

Asides from feeling like a mixed gender team is much better for being progressive than a sexist film featuring all women, I feel quite ambivalent towards this film but this attitude of trying to piss off as many people as possible who were fans of the originals has never made any sense to me.

For a reboot or sequel to be successful you need to be able to rely on ticket sales from people who were fans of the original films, so angering those fans and convincing them that the last thing they want to see is your reboot is the dumbest promotional tactic I've seen for a film.

Regardless, it's kind of sad that a film is able to bring out the ugliness in so many people, from the hyper sensitive feminists who will defend the film and claim going to see it is a political act, to the fans of the first two films that claim this movie is ruining their enjoyment of the original two films and getting way too offensive and over emotional about a film. A remake of a film you enjoyed shouldn't ruin the original for you. It's so much better to just ignore it and stop giving it attention if it's that bothersome.
 
Any feminist who paid attention saw the warning signs and knew this movie was gonna blow. My roommate has been warning me about this for a while now.
