[Ghostbusters 2016]

[(Anonymous)]

I too like making strawmen comments. The movie did stand up and speak and say that all criticism was sexism, right on. You keep on believing that, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[(Anonymous)]

The studio and director did.

[herpymcderp]

Ok, so then why are you not judging the movie for itself and instead relying on the criticism of others?

I mean, you're obviously a troll, but your internal logic is inconsistent.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, color me shocked. :p

op

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure where you're deriving troll from. I want to see it for myself. But Sony and Feig were incredibly deceptive and sexist the way they went about the marketing that it put me off giving any money to them.

[(Anonymous)]

i think the main reason to see the movie is if you think it looks good, and the main reason not to see it is if you don't think it looks good

imo

[comma_chameleon]

This. I love watching trailers, but I honestly don't read any reviews at all. If I want to see a film because I think it looks like I'll enjoy it, why does it matter if someone else did or didn't enjoy it?

[(Anonymous)]

100% this. I saw the movie. It was fine. Nothing spectacular, but I enjoyed myself. And while I do think a lot of the initial outrage came from a place of sexism, I do think people also have valid reasons for not being interested.

[nightscale]

Yup. If I like the look of a movie I'll go see it, if I don't I won't. It really isn't any deeper than that.

[sarillia]

When you say that the movie insisted something, what exactly do you mean? I don't remember a scene in the movie where the characters started some meta commentary on how anyone who didn't like it must be sexist. Who is "the movie"? The director? The actors? The publicity people? Fans?

[ariakas]

Hot take.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I would say that criticism before the movie even comes out is probably due to sexism rather than what's actually on the screen, know what I'm sayin'?

There was also a lot of nostalgic bitterness. I mean, it's hard to remake a Bill Murray movie. I loved the original Ghostbusters, and I loved this too.

I'd probably be like FUCK THIS if someone remade Four Weddings and a Funeral so I do get it, but Ghostbusters is a toy-selling action comedy franchise and it's gonna happen.

[(Anonymous)]

oh yes, very principled of you.
You "judge movies for themselves" but your taking a stand against the movie that "deleted comments".
...wtf? who deleted comments? the PR people? what kind of simplistic bullshit is this??

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

was the delete comments something that really happened or just an internet rumor. because it sounds like it has all the makings of an internet rumor.

[(Anonymous)]

Here's what I think everyone should be pissed off about, when it comes to the new Ghostbusters film.

This whole idiocy started because a few misogynists decided that they hated the film because 'Ew! Women's cooties'. From there, it all just snowballed. The studio got involved and made it their agenda, people with legitimate criticism got involved saying their voice wasn't being heard.

So, for me, what came out of this was it all began because of that small percentage of asswipes on the net. Why aren't more people angry with them? Why aren't people saying 'Wow this whole thing got out of hand because of the actions of a very small group of misogynists? We should totally call them out because they're making any legitimate criticism of this film almost impossible to talk about'.

[(Anonymous)]

But that's judging a movie by the moral/artistic merits of the creators, not of the work itself.

[(Anonymous)]

those deleted comments were full of sexist language and racism towards Leslie Jones tho

but sure... it's about ethics in journalism!

It's a great film

[(Anonymous)]

I just gotback from finally seeing this movie and I was laughing so hard I had to fish a tissue out of my purse to wipe away the tears! (Michael Hat!) This movie is great.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, sure, legit criticism like vile insults to the cast and racial slurs.

As a feminist you should support other women who try to do their job and get tons of hate just for being women. How many reboots are being done lately and how many of them get this shitstorm of hate?

As a feminist, supporting this movie is a political stand. Besides, it´s not as if it´s horrible. It´s nice and fun, so go watch it.

[caerbannog]

That's alright, it just we means we cancel each other out. Cause I only went to see it because of how horrible the sexist youtube trailer comments were.

I was completely indifferent to the original movie so really enjoying the new movie was a bonus.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably the funniest criticism I saw of it was someone raging that they took a serious drama about the difficulties in starting an independently owned business in New York, and remade it as a slapstick comedy about ghostbusting.

I still have no idea what movie they're confusing with the old ghostbusters.

[arcadiaego]

Wait, are you saying people involved in making the film were deleting comments across the internet? That sounds like an impossible task.
