They need to remake Harry Potter and give it to Wes Anderson to direct. Bill Murray as Dumbledore, Angelica Houston as McGonagall and Owen Wilson as Snape. Ben Stiller as Harry Potter.

I'm not going to pretend I wouldn't watch this.

I was going to make a joke about a dude bleeding from his dick but that already happens for some reason, doesn't it? Like he got a werewolf std that made his dick bleed? Or am I misremembering?

They're actually making an all-female League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. Not sure if it will be lady heroes from old books or just a gender swapped cast. It'll suck either way.

yeah, that definitely happened. I'm not sure if it was explicitly explained why.

I sort of get it. Because of scummy studio accounting even a poo poo movie will often make a profit, but every movie that makes a little profit is a lost opportunity to make a lot of profit.

I think a Seth Rogen stoner Ghostbusters movie could possibly be good if it were at least self-aware, but I am a huge Rogen apologist in general

I also think this same movie again could also be good if it distanced itself as far as possible from Feig, got a better writer, and tried to be a movie instead of a social statement

Like, they should pull a Hulk and reboot it again with a similar premise to last time without the toxic people attached to it, and they could even keep the same cast because they weren't the problem

It would also need effects good enough to convince my brain that four women are standing in an alley.

Well it was the first fart joke I've laughed at in years so there's that.
Why do you creeps keep calling people social progressives?
Also how do you MRA types get through life having a problem with women?, I mean a normal bigot probably doesn't have to deal with people who are more brown than them or foreign or like dick all that often but you have to talk and be emotionally attached to women everyday so it's kinda nuts to be all weird about them.

Oh and you fuckwits have ruined my childhood memories of Ghostbusters, god drat all I had to do was think of those movies or the cartoon or the dumb toys and I'd get a happy feeling, now if i think of them I end of thinking of you loving weirdos and how there's people that want those uppity bitches in their place even nowadays and it just makes me pissed off and depressed.
So nice one dickheads...

I'm glad of it.

Maybe each time period could create new works that reflect that time period instead of transplanting movies that are very much products of their time into a new time period and loving it up.

Ghostbusters getting banned in China had me wondering:

Why do most studios care about the Chinese market? Is just the fact more people seeing your movie equals more money, even though they only allow a handful of non-Chinese films in their theaters every year?

There are a couple dozen non-Chinese films shown per year in China. There's also a couple dozen Hollywood movies with budgets over 100 million per year. Not a coincidence.

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.

pretty much, a smarter script and a different director would have saved the movie easy.

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.

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.

yeah it is real :sad:

he encouraged it to an extent and said some pretty lovely things. but i wouldnt say fully responsible though.

yeah i can easily believe that. it sounds like she was sorta trying to rile up some more tweets/reddit posts for the movie "progressiveness" to look good and basically hosed up and kicked the hornets nest too hard. yeah, she is a lovely idiot if that was real DM(her talking about helping feig get more idiots to get pissed off) but i kinda feel bad for her. no one she be exposed to the full net that quick.

Overtly encouraged in a real way, or in a nebulous ill defined way?

Twitter is caught between the two worst subgroups of the internet. They get constant pressure from the left to ban anyone who isn't full tumblerina. Then when they do they get hate from the right for the "suppression of freedom."

Twitter is dumb, but it sucks that they're stuck in a no win scenario.

Even super grumpen grote people say GB2016 isn't an awful movie. I don't understand, how can it be doing so bad? Is it really due to the horrible marketing it got in the form of trailers and Feig's whining?

It's not doing badly for a Feig comedy movie. It's on par in terms of what those usually pull in. But it has an action movie budget so lol at that.
