remember how the gritty ghostbusters reboot was supposed to come out this year? (did it come out?)

the original wasn't gritty? it's as rough as it can be without forcing everyone to act out like Bill Murray

It wasn't *performatively* gritty with lots of somber yellow-tinted lighting and people looking at the ground sadly.

The flip side of Devin Faraci is Max Landis, the guy who got really really mad that the main character in the new star wars movies was a woman and also turned out to be a sex pest.

There was one of the Salacious Crumb aliens crying over its cellmate being cooked over a fire in the first or second episode of that series. Star Wars has a long history of things being eaten that are uncomfortable.

it was really weird how lady ghostbusters came out at the same time as annihilation and oceans 8 the same time as widows, 2 pairs of movies that were conceptually similar to each other (group of women vs the paranormal, group of women doing a heist) but the remakes got the girlboss/empowerment treatment while the other two were largely ignored

Widows sucked dick because they had a bunch of fantastic women actors and then they devoted 3/4 of the movie to Liam Neeson and wasted the rest of their incredible cast by giving them like a total of 20 minutes worth of scenes across the entire movie and it just felt like they recut their movie to feature more of an old white man because they realized halfway through filming that this dude costs too much money to be in their movie for only 5 scenes and they can try to get an Oscar out of it and Viola Davis' performance. Intensely disappointing when movies do that poo poo instead of just being themselves

Is Pod drat America actually worth listening to. I like Alex on Ballin Out Super but idk poo poo about Jake Flores and the episodes hes on for that dont feel like good barometers for if i'll like him at all

the remakes were garbage and needed something to sell themselves on whereas the originals were great and the creatively bankrupt studios had no idea how to sell them

Does that mean Treasure Planet is a remake of Atlantis?

Treasure planet is a case of convergent evolution, it was an IP that, due to happenstance, looks remarkably like a treasure island remake

Thus, it is a creative masterpiece
