As I think you well know, this gets people even more pissed. The issue that made me bring this up was a conversation where someone brought something to the table that we couldn't engage with.

DrVenkman posted:It's frankly not that good. I liked it more on my first viewing, but the second got to be sort of a slog. Andy Garcia probably gets the best line in the whole thing. Ok i've finished the movie now and i just have one question, and this is for the lady goons ideally: The movie was fine, but one thing that sticks in my craw is Thor/James Hunt as the Receptionist. Clearly the whole movie was supposed to be a Sex inversion of the original, and having a dude receptionist absolutely fits this. So my question is this, was Annie Potts's character in the original movie seen as ditzy, stupid and sexist like this 2016 inverted version is supposed to be? I thought she was a wiseass bespeckled new yorker who didnt take any poo poo from these weird so-called "Ghostbusters", so the real off-putting thing is me reading into the intent of the filmmaker. Why thor was ditzy and stupid made no sense, if its an inversion of the original shouldnt he have been a wiseass constantly making fun of the girls? e: sorry about this months-old conversation, just saw the movie tonight. The ghost designs still rock.

Just because it's a gender inversion of the original doesn't mean everything has to be a 1-1 inversion. They found a character that works and used it.

My biggest problem with Ghostbusters is it would have a funny joke, and beat it to death, and then have a character comment on the joke being beaten to death.

I know, but what this says about what the filmmakers thought of the original receptionist is what bugged me. "Oh yea motherfucking men? You wanna make a ditzy receptionist? WELL TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME". Like they didnt actually see the original. (I am sort of reading it as 1-1, it seems to be that way in most other aspects)

The gag is that the protagonists of the new movie want to be taken seriously, but have to rely on someone who's too stupid to question them.

Yeah the receptionist isn't being played to match up or contrast the original. It's just its own thing and it plays in its own way

My YTOTD (or TYOTDs) is a crosspost from another thread. since it's a series: Movies remade as Power Ranger intros I think that's my favorite one, but there's also JJTrek / In Space, BTTF / Time Force, OG Star Wars / Lost Galaxy, and a bunch others. Dude edits stuff together well.

Skeet Ulrich is Jughead's dad on Riverdale. Also, Riverdale's pretty good. Although by the end of it I usually unconsciously end up braiding my own hair while watching it.

corn in the bible posted:My biggest problem with it was that it wouldn't Allow me to rephrase: there's an idea of a funny joke. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real joke, only dialogue, something illusory. And though you can watch the movie and hear the cadence and maybe even force a chuckle at the delivery and consider it to have been botched in editing: the joke simply is not there.

I do that poo poo all the time and I've met with very little disagreement. Although I think the worst thing I've seen of late is someone on facebook saying that they actually should show Spider-Man's origin story in the new movie because the last one "hosed it up.". With poo poo like that I just back away because there's no point in bothering. If you really want to stir poo poo up, go into a comic book store and say that the Walking Dead sucks.

Replace Fury with The Fury starring Kirk Douglas. Also add Blacula. I've found this whole thing extra hilarious because Disney fandom is one of the gayest things on Earth. Plus we're talking about a loving musical. I've known more than one person who worked/works at Disneyworld is there's more queers there than a theater guild crashing into a drama club outside of a leather bar. The people who own that drive in sure sound like the life of the loving party. DC Murderverse posted:These people are going to make about $12 that weekend if they're not showing Beauty and the Beast. I'm also thinking that if they make moralizing their business instead of showing movies then their business as a whole isn't going to be a runaway success.

My limited understanding of Christianity is that Jesus discarded everything from the Old Testament save for the Ten Commandments. I don't think there's much in the NT about homosexuality, is there? If Christianity gay hatred is based in the OT, why do the same people still eat shellfish, shave their beards, not observe things like not touching one's wife when she's menstruating (actually, they probably observe that out of misogyny) etc? Please can someone with more knowledge clarify.

As a Jew who somehow ended up in a Catholic High School, I always found the letters part of Bible to be pretty amusing. From what I recall the whole thing is pretty much Jesus going "if you believe in God you will get into Heaven" and then a bunch of Romans who were pretty much damned under Judaism and Roman beliefs going "Holy poo poo! really?" and Paul going "well of course when Jesus said that what he actually meant was..." Not to sound like a smug Atheist but nothing in my years of being raised Jewish did as much to make me an atheist as the stuff I learned in Catholic school. The lack of answers they had for some pretty basic questions just made me question the whole institution. Hell, I still remember what the iconoclastic controversy is because asking questions about that is what pretty much started solidifying thinking this was all a bunch of bullshit.

Officer Downe is good comic book movie. I especially loved all the little gags like "gently caress all these subtitles" into kung fu dubbing, the orgasm counter ding sound effect also being used for head shots, and the air freshener tree in the wagon. It's also super refreshing for something comic-related to clock in at a tidy, well-formed 90 minutes.

If you're asking why so many Christians in the US focus on LGBT issues rather than the myriad of other vices condemned by Jesus, the answer isn't directly related to the Bible. I was just trying to point out that "How can you be against gay marriage when you eat shellfish" won't work very well when arguing against bigots because the scriptural justification for their behaviour is found elsewhere.
