i tried to watch reign of fire staring rust cole and batman today but it sucked and was boring

I went to see that movie in theaters for one reason only; to watch a fight between a tank and a dragon on the big screen. In the movie they flew a loving tank from the USA to England and didn't loving use it. gently caress that movie.

the internet men hate it because they hate women, but the critics like it because they feel that it's good politics to give it a good review (this is also why poo poo like Beyonce's generic pop album and the more-preachy-than-funny Master of None are universally loved by them). i guess i'm gonna have to watch it and make my own decision

so long, $15. gently caress you, NYC movie prices

Like, literally just put a single letter onto the title to differentiate this from the original. I don't even care how the movie is, just call it Ghostbusters: The Next Generation or some poo poo. Literally a single letter, anything.

(Also the trailer I saw made the movie look like a garbage fire, gently caress the politics.)

GB 1984 V GB 2016: Dawn of Bustice. (Zuul pits teams against one another. The New Ghostbusters kill the '84 Ghostbusters, feel sort of guilty about it. New Ghostbusters tell the Filmmation Ghostbusters that 'bustin' STILL feels good'. Ends on a dance party.)
Ghostbuskers (Film is now about some quirky ghost street musicians trying to make a living as a legit indie band until they get that record contract while dealing with the fascist ghost cops)
Gosbusters: A team of women dedicated to tracking down and trapping the suddenly appearing Ryan Goslings terrorizing the city.
1-800-6h0578u573r5: Who You gonna call? (There's millions of miles of dead landlines covering the US; haunted phone lines.)

The Internet in general is an alt-right hellhole but paid critics are more enlightened

It's kinda weird how on the internet the alt right is presented as some sort of internet cabal and yet they have by any objective metric the least influence and power over anything. Even on these very forums there are filters for making fun of the opposite end of the political spectrum but there's no oversight for the same overly political and critical crew on the other side.

people compare it to Louie, but Louis CK almost always ends his episodes as a loser. aziz always ends up as the smug moral victor even when he loses. that's why i think it sucks, at least

ok so it'll be like the robocop remake: people bitch and moan and ultimately forget it exists two months after it leaves theaters. best thing that can happen to it

I like Paul Feig and trusted this would be serviceable because his filmography is pretty great.

Jay dubs absolutely despise gay men and are chomping at the bit to excise the G from LGBT.

The top reviewers score on Rotten Tomatoes is 48%. Lots of misogynists among the professional film reviewers, good thing we have RT to add up all the blogs and local papers and give us the real score.
