    the new ghostbusters isn't going to be crap because it's all women, it's going to be crap because some exec was like "hey what haven't we remade yet" "oh i dunno, ghostbusters?" "perfect! oh by the way we should make them all chicks this time, we'll like, have boob jokes or something too"

    like I hope I'm wrong because I'm a pretty cynical person

    but announcing "the cast will be all female" without announcing the specific actresses made my cynicism sense tingle

    as has been pointed out, it doesn't even make any sense, like everyone is going to be a woman? there aren't even such a thing as woman ghosts, they're called banshees, and let me tell you, you don't want to sit in a dark room with them for two hours at the arclight

    I mean most scripts are written before casting is done. This is not uncommon at all. And it's a big enough franchise and has a big enough writer/director attached that it'd be kind of surprising if they attached someone to it from the get-go.

    The director chose that direction, dogg.

    New Ghostbusters will suck because old Ghostbusters sucked too.

    There, I said it.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    now that I am back home from work, I can see that if I want to on the LSAC website, I could obsessively check my answer sheet, the correct answers and the questions of the test... but I'm pretty happy with my score, and I think it would get me into the school that I want to go so... :roll:

    Yes, there won't be any male actors in the entire movie.

    edit: Now I want them to fight banshees, dammit.

    they are remaking ghostbusters?

    It will suck because it doesn't have the following things:

    Bill Murray
    Harold Ramis
    Dan Akroyd
    Sigourney Weaver
    Rick Moranis
    William Atherton
    Annie Potts

    The cast of the original was simply magic, and they just don't make movies like Ghostbusters anymore. I mean, name three actors who could play Murray, Ramis, and Akroyd in a new movie. Male or female doesn't even matter.

    It's going to suck.

    The problem with an all-female cast in new Ghostbusters, is that female comedy in general is trickier then male comedy. Some things just don't work as well due to cultural baggage.

    Conversely, I think it's a genius idea really: a nice mirror image to the original and definitely worth trying if you simply must do a Ghostbusters movie. The safe route would be a lot worse.

    is it going to be as good as the original, which is one of the greatest comedies/movies of all time? probably not

    but there are tons of great female comedians out there and great comedy writers who can make it a good fun movie

    will they at least be rehiring andy serkis to reprise his role as slimer, or more likely slimette?

    and if not, why not? he's just the mocap, what is the deal with this directior

    Murray wasn't going to be the sequel, any way. He ignored their calls and shredded the scripts they sent rather than read them. Ramis is dead. Ackroyd isn't as interested since he's not the one calling the shots anymore. Moranis is retired. Weaver could probably do it if they throw enough money at her. Atheton and Potts are replaceable.

    It's going to suck.

    Movies get made with excellent casts regularly. Avengers and GOTG had amazing casts, for instance. Give it a decade or two and you'll get a reboot of the original ghost busters - I'm surprised they didn't do that. These characters aren't that hard to revamp with new actors, Hollywood has plenty of great actors from movies and tv to pick from with career defining, iconic roles.

    I am extremely cynical of superhero movies, where remakes are pumped out as shovelware using the same unbearable origin story with the same two-dimensional superhero

    remaking older movies can be fun and retain the same general fun-ness as their older counterparts mostly because they can avoid the awful baggage of fanservice-y superhero movies

    Bridemaids was funny with funny actresses and it wasn't a shitty comedy like Adam Sandler flicks, it had drama with compelling, damaged characters.
    Conversely, I think it's a genius idea really: a nice mirror image to the original and definitely worth trying if you simply must do a Ghostbusters movie. The safe route would be a lot worse.

    I want to see what gets made.

    They've been trying to make a third sequel for years with the original cast before this happened. Ramis dying killed that movie dead behind the scenes.

    watch the only male character in the film will be the secretary, and everyone in the theater will be daring for me to say something about it, like when kanye always puts white people in servile positions in his music videos

    what do you think the message is tarranon? do you think they're saying anything, or just playing around with the themes and imagery

    did you think the music video MIA did where gingers were ethnically cleansed had more to do with their whitness, their status as a marginally oppressed minority, or some combination of the two

    i'm on to all of you. i don't think anything
