Seriously, yes, let's remake Charlie's Angels and Flatliners. Because they were so great the first time around? Welp I guess if I hate my job I can go get another as a screenwriter or idea pitcher in Hollywood. Manos, Hands of Fate! with all female leads! girl power!

Apparently they're going to remake, "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and plan to cast Justin Bieber as one of the main characters.

Hey.. maybe he'll be really good in the film? Like.. who knows?

Yay diversity. Although I don't think we'll ever see a short superhero who is well liked. But yay shallow diversity!

I'm a movie reviewer for a local newspaper, and so I have to go see the movie.

I think the most telling thing about the film is that even though it's supposed to be a sign of how "progressive" we are, the trailers prominently feature a race joke. For those who haven't seen it, one of the Ghostbusters goes to stage-dive during a concert. When the audience doesn't catch her, she demands to know if it was because the audience is racist or if it was because the audience was sexist. A joke like that is straight-up in poor taste, especially since we don't have the context of the full scene.

A lot of the other jokes and gags in the trailers weren't all that funny, either. The way the four main cast members over-acted a number of scenes didn't help. The whole thing obviously needed another round of editing and re-writing.

Then we have the first trailer referencing the original film and the fact that it's been over 30 years, leaving confusion as to whether or not this is a sequel or a reboot.

And as if that all wasn't bad enough, we've got the shoddy special effects work. The original film featured a legion of puppeteers, special effects workers, cinematographers, and others pushing the limits of what could be done back then. Yet this new film gives us "Haunted Mansion"-level CGI work when anyone who's seen a recent Michael Bay film knows Hollywood is capable of so much more. The ghosts in the film stand out like a bad blue-screen job.

Of course, the very fact that I was critical of the film in the first place means that I'm going to be derided by Hollywood as a "sexist" even though I stuck solely to material matters like writing, acting ability, and special effects.

How are they going to film an entire movie in a kitchen?

Lol.

Maybe it's a movie where dames wonder out of the kitchen and the moral of the story is that dames need to stay in the kitchen they have to find that out the hard way and at the end of the movie they go back to the kitchen and make sandwiches.

I never saw the first Ghostbuster, and I do not plan to see the new one. I saw the trailer for it, on YouTube. It showed a woman being vomited on, by a ghost. I see enough gory, disgusting real things, in medical school.

I heard the new Ghostbusters got good reviews. Good for them if it's legitimate. Despite some of the unsavory comments and actions of those involved in the production, I was never rooting for the film to fail.

I don't see how you can know that it's awful before seeing it, or at least before reviews come out.

The original is a classic. This pathetic attempt is near blasphemy...

Saw it on Friday.

If the film had been released in 2006, it would have been a blockbuster. But the special effects, CGI, humor, and stunt work are all dated compared to what we're getting now.

That being said though, if this was 2006 then Harold Ramis would still be alive.
