Yeah I like all the actresses besides Leslie Jones, who strikes me as a better stand-up comedian than actor but the material looks inauthentic and cheesey

Stunt casting is when you cast someone for the sheer novelty of having them in the role, rather than strictly based on their suitability to perform it. I don't have a problem with it, since you could argue that specifically seeking A-listers isn't much different.

Rurea posted:Are there any famous examples? It's way way more common in TV, where you can bring in a guest star during sweeps to pump up your ratings. So stuff like Robin Williams doing an episode of Law and Order, Brad Pitt showing up in Friends (this one was double effective because he was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time), Elizabeth Taylor showing up in each of four CBS sitcoms on the same night, etc. These have varying results, because occasionally the famous person does really well (the aforementioned Robin Williams example, the All in the Family episode where Sammy Davis Jr. shows up for about 10 minutes), but most of the time they suck.

The Robin Williams thing was for Homicide: Life on The Street, and it was so good and successful it revitalized NBC's faith in the show, which was essentially already cancelled and had been given a short episode order instead of being cleanly sliced after the first season as a favor to the producers. David Simon wrote about the brief moment in time he was in orbit with Williams, having co-written the episode: http://davidsimon.com/robin-williams-a-brief-encounter/

New international trailer for Ghostbusters (pretty much like trailer 2 with just a few extra snippets): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2HPOw4h8Fo I mean, I'm not as down on it as everyone else so I'm kind of cautiously optimistic. I'm a fan of all the talent involved and, while it's not some day 1 thing for me (or even really a theater movie for me) I do want to watch it.

Baha ha ha ha. That's awesome. Bringing it back to Ghostbusters for a second and I feel like people are putting so much pressure on this movie before it even begins. Like some people are hoping it does well because that will stick it to the MRA idiots out there, while women-hating idiots out there hope it bombs beyond belief because how dare they cast women in their beloved old movie. I know they are actresses and whatnot, but part of me feels a bit sorry for the stars of the movie, because it seems like they have been trying to defend the movie from even before it was made and now if the movie comes out and it bombs we will have to deal with 100 of thought pieces about where it all went wrong and can women carry a beloved franchise and some such bs. Maybe it just seems that way to me, but it felt like if this movie was anything below perfect some people, it would mean one idiot fraction won out on another, and it just feels like that is an unfair standard to put on a movie like this. No-one would give a flying gently caress if it was an all-male cast and the movie still sucked, but because it is an all female cast, certain people are ready with pitchforks.

If only they'd had the foresight to make the original Ghostbusters with 2 women, we wouldn't be having this problem. Swap Egon for that goofy secretary lady and Zedd for Pam Grier or something.

It's like they decided the first trailer was too quirky/different, so now they made the most boring trailer possible where they follow the current trailers trends to the loving letter.
