wife is already working on her Jillian costume and I could not be more thrilled. also, I don't think we've seen the worst of the nerdrage. I predict the worst backlash will be from those who are upset about the rebooting of such a classic and imaginative and important character as Slimer.

I'm trying to get excited about this, but it's just not happening. This is an earnest question: Since almost every "reboot" under the sun comes across as a creative-less cash-grab that just demonstrates how bereft of originality Hollywood is, why is anyone looking for to this? This to me looks like "Hey, you know that iconic and well-loved movie from the 80s? What if we re-made it but they're all women this time?? Wouldn't that be ka-ray-zee?" Again, this is an earnest question...I'm not TRYING to be a wet blanket, but this just looks like another lovely reboot. What makes this NOT just another lovely reboot?

The argument is that this isn't just a cash grab and their actually trying to carefully revive the franchise. See also: Jurassic World, Mad Max, and Star Wars. Cash grabs are more like Total Recall, Footloose, red dawn, Clash of the titans, etc.

Wait until you see a trailer? Also, Jurassic World was pretty soulless and had a rather poor script- if GB ends up like that...wooof. New total Recall was a better movie than JW, even if it was a lovely reboot.

It was simplistic sure but was a far better film than TLW and JP3 and a lot of the garbage Hollywood passes off as "blockbusters" these days (Man of Steel, the thor films, everything by Michael Bay, etc.)

Pratt's stuff was fun, though. And  if you think JW was a better put together movie than Bad Boys 2 or MoS.

I think people are getting excited about it because 1.) they're Ghostbusters fans and it's fun to see something new being done with it, 2.) it is not going to contain washed up old actors and a phoned-in Bill Murray performance, and 3.) that Ecto-1 is rad, the proton packs are rad, the costumes are rad, and the characters look more interesting than just "female versions of the male team". From what very little information we have about the movie so far, the quality of the props alone is already in-line with what people actually want to see. It looks like a lot of thought and care was put into them to give them character without simply copying stuff directly. The director is being open with production and giving us some clues that show this might just be a modern take on Ghostbusters to bring a new generation of fans into the series who aren't just kids whose dads force them to wear proton packs and play with 25 year old toys.

Sasquatch! posted:Good point, and I hope so. Don't get me wrong - I'd love for this to be good, but given Hollywood's track record for resurrecting old franchises for nostalgia's sake (see Terminator Genisys for the most recent example), that's where my skepticism comes in. But again, I hope you're right. The concept of terminator was pretty neat. Young Sarah Connor. But then the trailer was like oh no John is a evil terminator! And welp

Remakes are always just shameless cash grabs that turn out lovely, just admit it guys. Just look at The Fly, The Thing ('82), Scarface, Ocean's 11, Cape Fear, Scent of a Woman, The Departed, 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, The Ring, Casino Royale...

A few of those were made when remakes were not plaguing the film landscape. And a few were remakes of B movies, or those that didn't do well first time around. Or from another country in the case of the The Ring. I wonder how many of those were designed for summer or winter blockbusters though. I think we can all agree that remakes that end up being touted as the Big Blockbuster, are always shite. Can't think of one.

Fantastic Four is technically a reboot and that looks way better than the original. Dredd was eons better than Judge Dredd. Personally I think the 1980s "remake" of The Thing is one of the best films ever. For every unneeded poo poo remake like Total Recall/Robocop/Clash of the Titans there will always be one or two great reimaginations that add a lot of cool poo poo and ideas to an old concept. I wasn't on board with a new Ghostbusters at first but I'm really coming around to it, cast and costumes and car look great and I heard Feige's been on a nice roll.

It does get hugely tiring though when this is the default response to any criticisms to the movie. I'm concerned it's going to be a lukewarm movie when it's done. I really hope it isn't, I want it to be big, but I'm not seeing a lot that gets me excited about it. Apparently that makes me a sexist rear end in a top hat.

If the movie turns out to be legitimately bad the solution is to just make fun of the dumb people and really bad posters who attribute it being perceived as bad to misogynists or w/e I mean the second one isn't considered to be very good so it's not like it's some franchise that would be "ruined" by having an all-female cast- if it's bad, it's just another bad Ghostbusters movie after the second one
