If I ran marketing for Bad Moms, I would be furious that Fergie released a single called MILF $ a week after my final trailer was released. Like, "I wanna kill Fergie" furious.

For some reason the latest Ghostbusters commercial decided to just go ahead and show the Aykroyd cameo.

I'm a little disturbed that the trailer shown over here (Netherlands) seems to avoid showing Leslie Jones as much as possible.

Don't be. From what I've seen Leslie Jones is going to wish the movie avoided showing her more.

It says a lot about GB2016 that Gamesradar are sucking its metaphorical dick multiple times a day and telling us how wrong the haters were, but their own reviewer only gave it 3/5.

I'm not really planning on seeing Ghostbusters but reviews have been pretty good and I'm sure there are other places to complain about it

Also I've never heard of TotalFilm and it sounds really great

quote:

The Total Film news section, providing details on upcoming films, includes first look photos, on-set visits and exclusive "sneak peeks". Regular features include: Ever Met Tom Cruise? where a behind the scenes person is interviewed, e.g. a stuntwoman or a casting director; You Talkin' To Me? where stars answer questions posed as famous film quotes and Red Light, Green Light for what is hot and what is not in movieland.

To be fair, the value of individual contributors can overpower lovely page-view gimmicks. I can say "gently caress that site, sounds like a lot of bullshit," but I still visit Hitfix because I like Drew McWeeny and Alan Sepinwall, and it's still somehow possible to read their articles over their lovely site design and emphasis on memory-monster video embeds, so...

It's a shame he's crazy, Gibson feels like the best possible fit for the Taken riffs everyone's doing these days. These one looks surprisingly ok, it's directed by the French guy who did the Mesrine movies with Vincent Cassel a few years back

"Top Critics."

But regardless even reading the top critics reviews... not that many of them slam it. Even their critiques seem to be "pretty good but ultimately pointless given the franchise."

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

We should give up on those reviews for now. I think we will only be able to value Ghostsbusters 2016 for it's true worth ten years for now, when we'll watch the movie while taking a red-eye flight with a budget airline. Yup.

It's not useless it is very useful, just not for the reason people seem to think. Zootopia is 98% not bad. It wasn't in my top ten animated movies in the last five years but not bad. It's basically best used for ensuring you won't see a stinker.

It's great for identifying truly lovely films coming in at 11% or something.

98% for "not bad" seems like the definition of useless. The majority of films are somewhere around "not bad". The word for that is "average".

Trailer for Rebirth, a movie premiering on Netflix this Friday. Looks pretty interesting and stars the stoner guy from Cabin in the Woods in an actually serious part. Although I'm not sure I buy him and Adam Goldberg being around the same age.

RT fails movies like Ghostbusters because it pretty much takes reviews as either good (fresh) or not good (rotten) with nothing in between so stuff that is 3 stars out of 5 can just as easily be posted as "rotten" throwing the whole thing out of curve. This is why you will get idiots saying "see even the critics didn't like it and that is why it is rotten on RT" without giving it much thought.
