About to go see Ghostbusters, but the Star Trek Beyond reviews killed my vibe. First movie I feel legitimately hyped to see this summer (Dory and Nice Guys were close but no cigar)

Hoping a movie flops just because of a silly article is also stupid. FYI.

It's not the only reason

Eh, male actors often get blamed when movies flop too. How quickly everyone forgets that Taylor Kitsch became a bit of a punchline four years ago (despite the failures of John Carter and Battleship not being his fault at all).

Exactly. No mention of that in that article though. Like why write that?

Oh if you don't go see this, poor Kristen Wiig won't get booked in a blockbuster again! 

When yeah....she'll be just fine. As will all of them. They are talented actresses.

Well, true.  But look at all the things they did prior to 1989 where it did work.  And the mrketing for the sequel would be on autopilot when you could put their two names in the trailer.

I don't think the GA really cares about them that much to notice them in marketing lol

I'm 5 episodes in and that hasn't occured to me. It would make some sense though. 

Spoiler

They show a news article mentioning a missing girl on episode 3.

FUUUUUUCKKKKKK! I was just looking over this week's summer game questions and noticed all the GB benchmarks are asking if they'll open below that #. I answered them all in an "at least" sense.

HAving terrible trailers and a director who calls 50% percent of humanity unfunny will do that

He called out the people who trashed the actresses looks as being despicable. Which they are. But keep believing what you want to believe, I guess.

 

We're about to watch Everybody Wants Some!! (since I missed it in theaters). Enjoy yelling at each other over trivial things, y'all.

I think Taylor Kitsch was solidified as being the most unlucky person in all of Hollywood when he was the only person from The Normal Heart to not get an Emmy nomination for it. Wah wah.

I wasn't talking about that, I was talking about this:

Theater I'm at has alcohol and a special Ghostbusters drunk. This will be a fun time.

[Webslinger]

Feig's piece is pretty clearly supposed to be satirical. As if the tone wasn't enough to tip Feig's hand on its own, there's even a reference to the piece after which it's modeled.

Besides, Melissa McCarthy has dealt with assholes before. Remember when that vile old croon otherwise known as Rex Reed used his Identity Thief review just to trash her appearance?

 

Seeing the movie tomorrow. So excited.

And the fact he goes on a show that had a terrific first season's horrible second season. It's like everything he touches turns to shit. But when you have scenes like this with the other actors what do you expect. 

[vc2002]

That's a pretty good number for Ghostbusters isn't it? I mean, considering all the negativities around the internet so far.

Sad part is there were unlimited opportunities with that film to actually trash it on quality.
