I disagree with their assessment of Fieg. He seems to be a Hollywood conman with the way he talks. Like when Rich does his bullshit pitch man voice, he sounds exactly like fieg. Also, diet praises everyone he works with. This also is called being a kiss rear end.

Whenever I see Feig's talking clear bullshit in these interviews, in my mind it automatically sounds like "Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from..." I know everyone in Hollywood is a horrible fake person, but with Feig, it's fascinatingly and horribly clear.

I think one of the more legit criticism was that why didn't Feig have Wiig write it, since she wrote his earlier firm Bridesmaids which was far more critically successful.

I think alot of that comes down to what Danny Vodka said about him loving up the budget. Feig knew he completely hosed this thing and was trying to sell it for damage control to salvage his career, it's hard to come off as anything other than a desperate commission furniture salesman in an empty showroom in that kind of scenario.

My favorite part about the 2016 Ghostbusters movie is when Dan Akyroyd said that Paul Fieg will never be allowed on the Sony Pictures lot ever again

Its a pity they didn't show Akroyd's total sell out cock sucking of the movie in the same interview Bill Murray said he did it for the girls.
Ackroyd knows what it feels like to have Feig's balls slapping his chin.

Cant find it, but here's him shilling the film right upto the opening night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ1e_dOJd5w

I kind of vowed to never watch Ghostbusters 2016 after they attacked James Rolfe for not wanting to watch the movie.

Sadly, I was actually kind of excited for the movie at the all female Ghostbusters cast was revealed because I thought it was a sign they were going to do something new with the premise.

edit: Also I thought it was interesting that this review was kindest to Leslie Jones when I feel like she got the most bad press when the movie first came out. The review made me realize she was kinda the only one who mixed in a bit of acting between all the lovely improv jokes and screaming. I also really don't care for the other three though so I dunno. Movie was bad.

Same. I thought an all girl Ghostbusters might be interesting until I actually saw the trailer and how people started making GBS threads on James Rolfe and I was like "okay, no thanks, gently caress you"

Like I said, an all girls Ghostbusters was actually genius and one of the only smart moves they made with this movie because then when it fails you have a convinient excuse

I'm pretty sure there was improv in the first film. Just not a lot.

Like when they are catching the first ghost, and they are in the ball room. They are about to knock over a table and Bill is like "hold on hold on, i've always wanted to do this." and then he rips the tablecloth off the table. it's not in the shooting script. Also, when he gets slimed and in the background you can hear him say "I feel so funky." Again, not in the script.

I think the point is that the first film had a tight script with jokes written in that work in the universe of the film. The new one didn't have jokes in the script and were hoping to be funny by throwing a ton of poo poo at the screen and hoping it sticks. The problem is all the poo poo stuck to the screen so all we saw was poo poo.

Yeah it was a pretty insane mic drop moment. It probably wouldn't have happened if Feig's career wasn't already ruined. Akroyd has also been in the business for a long, long time and has a good enough reputation to get away with it.

More or less Ghostbusters destroyed Paul Fieg's career and Sony Pictures' days are numbered, too. Rumor has it Sony might sell it to Disney so I guess Disney will get the rights to Spider-Man fully back at least. Not that I'm wild about Disney, given that they're more like a factory that mass produces soulless Marvel movies, Star Wars movies and live action remakes of animated movies.

You know across every Star War movie we've never seen a Star Destroyer fully engaged in combat.

You'd think something named after a naval destroyer that's the size of a city would have thousands of guns and be an incredible sight to behold firing.

But they mostly just show up, release a couple dozen TIE Fighters, then get blown up by dinky single seater fighters.

The most you see is them firing a single cannon at a fighter. So at best they're ridiculously huge aircraft carriers that are way too big to only be hauling a few TIE fighters.

The Enterprise could take out dozens of them shits.

We do in Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith

It really bugged me how lovely the space battles were in the Force Awakens compared to earlier movies. Okay, so you have this huge Death Star made out of the side of the planet and it's only defended by like 10 TIE Fighters?

At least the battle in Rogue One was cool as gently caress even though the rest of the movie wasn't that good. We at least got a very cool space battle out of it

Very cool. Very cool. Me personally,
