NutritiousSnack posted:This is where we differ because I think if this fails to hit above 160-170 million but hits around 150 million, we are done with this iteration of Ghostbusters. Either Feig quietly gets the boot and another director signs on and GB 2 is made into a very different film or they reboot it again or try to do Ghostbusters 3. I agree if it hits around that magic number, Sony is going to be desprate enough to try again, but no one is going to be dumb enough to finance the same bomb all over again. I have seen alot of poo poo on twitter showing to massively empty theaters. no one is interested because either all the controversy or because it looks like/is a lovely cash in. the humor is mostly sandler tier. at best it will break even. especially since their is no Chinese audience to cushion the fall.

NutritiousSnack posted:It's kinda funny, but that really is Sony's best bet. They can try to get in on the animation market, sidestep the feminist backlash of Tatum' Busters movie, and clean their hands of Feig or addressing this movie again or the "cultural wars" or whatever dumb thing SRS/Pol are steering up online and get to start all over again. this. they will just forget this film ever existed and probaly try a sequel or another reboot, then go fulltilt with the animated shows/movie. what sucks is the tatum movie will probaly be even worse.

NutritiousSnack posted:Hilarously this was the worst case scenario for everyone. Sony is going to take the lesson "women aren't funny from this" but that GB is a valuable brand despite it. Instead expect animated retools or a "smarter" GB 3 soft reboot or some other dumb poo poo with Sandler type comedy and one of the two is going to break over 200 million and make us all suffer. thats what sucks the actress are funny in other stuff(well jones act is "walking minstral show" and McCarthy is hit or miss) the problem is 3 fold. 1. get a different director. feige isnt good at this type of comedy or action plus him constantly dumping on the audience because he wants to #1 "progressive" is retarded. 2. get better PR and advertisements" and 3. get better writers. also if you make a male ghost busters reboot. dont do a loving stoner flick. hire actors who can act in both comedy and action. i would probably have chris pratt and Oscar Isaac because they can be good in anything and will bring an audience.

The Grimace posted:They've been acting like it's a huge surprise, too. Feig and McCarthy would say things like, (paraphrasing) "people critical of Ghostbusters probably have no friends and are basement dwellers." Talking down to potential audience is not the way to get them in seats. this. ivory tower making GBS threads on people(mra shitheads or not) is a loving terrible way to get support, especialy when its a meh remake. talking down/shaming people over realy dumb poo poo is retarded. parts of the left should have learned this by now, especially since the moral majority loving made it an art form. if the new left were smart, they wouldnt try to loving emulate them.

Groovelord Neato posted:that's what bugs me as a feminist and lefty is them making this the hill to die on. most of the people who think the movie is mediocre or bad aren't mras, they're people with taste. they're playing pretty much right into the mras hands when they start pretending that the original movie wasn't that funny or that this movie is way funnier they just look pathetic cuz everyone knows that can't be true. To be fair. alot of these dips probaly didnt like the first movie, not to mention the second. if the movie had been my type of humor, i would go see it. its not and because the awful PR and bullshit zealotry. i wont see it. If its not kids cartoons like steven universe or something that only says the themes and messages they like and approve of. its evil. same thing goes with the alt-right and the christian right. I am not a giant fan of dude like sargon and others but i can see where they sorta come from. they are pissed that questioning things and interprating stuff has been thrown out the window by the parts of the left. the problem is they think the other side of the poo poo coin is somehow different. its worse probaly.

Pvt.Scott posted:Secret Life of Pets involves the torture of a prisoner, one of the heroes (a hawk) having to visibly resist eating the rest of the cast the entire time he's on screen, a domestic terrorist cell of abandoned pets dedicated to murdering humans, the leader of which hijacks a bus and purposefully rams occupied vehicles on a bridge with it while the protagonist works the gas pedal, the repeated brutal beating of several humans and a one-sided obsessive relationship being treated as romantic. All, of course, played for laughs. Like, dark stuff in kids movies is great, don't get me wrong, but they didn't do any of it well. It just felt kinda schizophrenic. I guess I'll check out some reviews and see if I'm just crazy. At least the animation was colorful and fun and nice to look at. yeah. i saw that in the trailer. I wondered why the bunny sounded like some 1960s/70s black power/liberation/days of rage leader. do the police shoot him in the head at the end or something?

Professor Shark posted:I hope it fails, hard, if only because Harley Quinn casually carrying a baseball bat over her shoulders fills me with rage every time I see it now. Based on the previews it looks like she does that A LOT in the movie, and the concept art for the movie has her in the same pose. It's like they built her character around her carrying a baseball bat over her shoulders. I want to like it, but the joker looks so dumb its not even funny.

natetimm posted:Milo Yiannopopopolous got in a Twitter fight with Leslie Jones from the new Ghostbusters and it's super gross, hella racist, and makes me feel really bad for her. Milo's bullshit wasn't the worst but the people who flocked to the drama made it way more depressing and extremely inappropriately racist. Way over the line, even for my usual tastes of internet tomfoolery. This summer feels like the US is going to explode if people can't find a way to start treating each other better and stop fighting like slavering dogs over petty bullshit. milo is self hating gay guy who will probaly be found dead in a hotel somewhere in decade or so. I am not a fan of jones but she went through a bunch of underserved poo poo from dickheads. what sucks is the alt-right runined critisim of the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY172rzvbWE stupid fucks like david aurini and milo are the problem. Drunken Baker posted:I can't believe people are still using the, "How about you see the movie before criticizing it!?" argument. pretty much, a smarter script and a different director would have saved the movie easy. NutritiousSnack posted:Angry Birds succeeded overseas, while Ghostbusters has less momentum over there and less access to foreign markets too wasnt that movie not even that bad. yeah it was a dumb kids movie and both the retard right and the retard left saw aniti muslim/anti immigration poo poo in it. natetimm posted:It sucks that some people don't really understand internet troll culture and this will end up being seen as something even worse than it is. There's a group of people bound and determined to constantly say the stupidest, most edgy and offensive poo poo possible wherever they can get away with it and it's just making things way worse. They happily troll any side of a social conflict for the reaction and it's such a small payoff for the immense tidal wave of bullshit they're going to end up causing overall. There's going to be more censorship, witch hunts, and extreme partisan crap because of them and they will emerge relatively unscathed for their trouble. Lowest loving common denominator loving it up for everyone. agreed but with the current political climate being lovely as it is on both sides, I can believe a decent amount of the insults are genuine.

Drunken Baker posted:People have pointed out that there was a lot of ad-libbing in the original, but like you say, there's a strong scrip there with strong characterization for the actors to work with so they're not breaking character (or in the case of SPY) breaking the core world the film is set in. there is add-libbing in almost every movie, some of it works(the "i know" line in empire and bunch of others) but it needs to be in servece of the characters/story. it needs to make sense, not break the forth wall. as they said in the RLM review. its basicaly an inverse force awakens. it did everything wrong that force awakens did right.

Pvt.Scott posted:Yeah, it seems like using the clown completely misses the point of the whole thing if you're setting it in a different time and place. Children and adults are probably just as easy to scare, but children are much easier to handle if they fight back or try to flee, I guess. You'd think adults would taste better. They've had a lifetime of fears and anxiety and have even likely experience some form of existential dread or crisis. Some of them even have deeply ingrained phobias and anxieties that you could exploit to get them to reach a fever pitch right before you feed. Kids would be like eating tatertot casserole; quick, it will technically feed you, really bland, depressing to anyone watching you eat it. Fat Shat Sings posted:Excuse you but it's the clown movie. Did you not see how badass and scary and grimdark the clown looks? Do we need to market it more? Pennywise merchandise months before the movie is even done? Maybe entire trailers based around the clown. to be fair when i was a kid, i was terrified of pennywise and chuky. Now being on the internet/liveleak/horror movies/video games have desensitized me and probaly alot of other people on here to most horror stuff(at least the basic types)
