I saw Suicide squad. Had potential but never delivered. Not familiar with the comics but is there any point to the boomerang bandit or whatever his name is. "Crikey cobbers!, that fire breathing demigod is heading our way! Don't worry I'll hiff my trusty boomerang at him!, struth! stone the fuckin crows it did nothing!"

<p>That bold is quite comical when you started with this comment:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for some of the other points, the Murray litigation emails pre-date Feig's involvement in the franchise and the idea to have women leads. The email was from when Reitman was still attached to direct and Ramis was still alive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Better director? Feig is one of the better comedy directors floating around these days, to suggest otherwise is just stupidity (even if you don't like the fact his films are female centred).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A chick flick is a romance/romantic comedy film directed at women. As I said, Ghostbuster's isn't a chick flick, it's just a film with female leads.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So what if the franchise is dead, in this age of reboots, sequels, prequels etc it can probably be kicked back into life if the fanboys get a director, team and story they like.</p>

<p>That was a joke you retard. And it should be noted that you came out flying with all that misogynist bullshit from the getgo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As usual you completely ignored all my points as to why this film bombed. To suggest Paul Feig was the man to reboot a franchise like Ghostbusters is nothing but stupidity on your part. It's like getting Michael Bay to reboot Dead Poets Society.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First rule when rebooting a popular franchise: Do not fuck with a winning formula. They did that and the result is a box office bomb.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took a quarter of a century to get a third film, do you honestly think it will be rebooted again in our lifetimes? This film has effectively killed any chance of future Ghostbusters films.</p> -

<p>I saw it. It was ok, some good laughs, only real critism was that it was too much like the first one, thought it could have tried to be a little more original. <strong>My female friend liked it.</strong></p>

<p>I didn't avoid any of your points, it wasn't reinvented as a girlpower movie, it's just a movie with female leads. I addressed your director point and you've replied with a Michael Bay quip when clearly Feig is a highly competent comedy director making a comedy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look, I know you're consistently on a poor oppressed man mission, but denying there was no <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">misogynist bullshit is just a lie. Yes, a bunch of people may have had an issue with the reboot just because it's different than the original, but that doesn't mean the misogynist crap is well crap. Hell, I've been guilty of it myself in the past, I delayed watching BSG for a number of years because I couldn't get my head around Starbuck and Boomer being chicks, then I finally got over myself, watched it and realised how much of a non castrated dick I was.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I think there's one thing you all seem to be overlooking (maybe on purpose), Ghostbusters isn't the sacred cow you're making it out to be - all the main players returned for the sequel, and quite frankly it was average as fuck. Even the guys that got lightening in a bottle for the first one dropped the ball for the second.</span></p>

A fully functioning pecker could mean the woman who insisted you go and see that film<br><br>
Edit, why am I a misogynist? I've said nothing about that film and everyone knows I love women . In particular attractive ones that like to take their clothes off. -

<p>I bet you loved searching for that. Probably did a search for SBW shirtless while you were doing it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Again you're completely missing the point and banging on about that misogynist crap. The film didn't bomb because of misogyny and you know it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Simply put, you do not fuck with a winning formula. Turning Ghostbusters into a girl power movie (or chick flick as much as that upsets you) wasn't just fucking with the formula, it was shitting all over it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>LIke I said, there is no logical reason for a popular brand like Ghostbusters being rebooted in this fashion. The only thing I can think of is that they wanted to make some kind of statement. Well it was a pretty expensive fucking statement. Hope it was worth it.</p> -

Just reported this post . Didn't. Name . The . Film. -
<p>I have no interest in seeing Ghostbusters as it is ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1/ Reportedly a shit movie.. as reported by people I trust.</p>
<p>2/ A blatant attempt at pushing a feminist agenda.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So Feig can fuck off and I hope his reputation never recovers. An example of the Feig the nasty little twunt</p>

<p>dude, it's Monica Belucci, seeing her naked is not exactly difficult. However i had little else to do</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, it was called "The Brotherhood of the Wolf" and it was about a werewolf i think. I don't know, it was a bit shit. I'm pretty sure Monica was the werewolf, but i didn't stick around to find out. The main character looks like pre-drugs Mickey Rourke. Vincent Cassel, in a change for him, plays a smug arrogant Frenchman. And Monica is a whore. </p>

<p><em>Le Pacte de Loups</em> - I didn't mind it when I had a couple of spare hours to watch. Parts of it were shit, and it was a little hard to tease out the undertones of the pre-Revolution political machinations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In any case. Monica Bellucci. Yep - 51 and still fit as fuck.</p> -
<p>Spy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2015 spy comedy film. Load of crap, predicatable sort of storyline, but some funny moments. Somehow or fuck this thing got 94% on rotten tomatoes, which I should have known by now is garbage ever since the whole English Patient debacle. Melissa McCarthy is average to poor for the first half and then she puts on this fake persona (as part of the film) and suddenly hits warp factor 10 on the comedy delivery. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So in summary, wouldn't bother watching it, unless you want some light laughs.</p>
