Okay.

The reason why I (sometimes) do so is because I'm replying to specific people, so it seems logical to me to keep them separate (add to that the fact that people's eyes glaze over during a post if it's too long.)

Yep, that's right...you got me, and thousands more. On whole, women aren't funny and have no business carrying the brunt of a beloved franchise. :rolleyes:

Enjoy the movie.
 
"Wonderful" is the new word for "Generic"...but it stars "four very different women!"

Melissa McCarthy, who was already in talks for one of the leads, has signed on for the Paul Feig-directed reboot, and the studio is now negotiating with Kristen Wiig, as well as Saturday Night Live players Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Negotiations are ongoing but the quartet are expected to sign on as the specter-seeking, poltergeist-punishing and phantom-phollowing foursome in the reboot, which is eyeing a summer shoot in New York.

Awful, just awful. Feig will undoubtedly make this movie with tons of gross out humor. That is NOT Ghostbusters. GB, albeit full of funny one-liners, was still a sci-fi movie at its heart. Dan Aykroyd was thoroughly interested in the paranormal.
 
MOAR (hackneyed) RUMOURS:

He's provided character descriptions for the four protagonists. There's Erin, a parapsychology professor at Columbia, much the same way the original three guys were in GB 1. She used to work with Abby, who, at the time the story begins, has been hunting ghosts on her own alongside a partner named Jillian. Then there's Patty, an MTA worker who, by happenstance, comes across the main ghost the other three GBers are pursuing. Drew has Wiig pegged as Erin, Jones for Abby, McKinnon for Jillian, and McCarthy for Patty, though I think there's a chance that Jones and McCarthy's roles will be switched.

Even bigger than that is who Feig wants for the contemporary Walter Peck, the computer nerd dead-set on revealing the GHOSTBUSTERS efforts as a hoax: Pete Venkman himself, Bill Murray.

And, as mentioned in the Sony hacked emails: "Drew also purports that they want Peter Dinklage to play the villain, "a creepy mechanical genius."


Also, here's some wonderfully one-sided sensationalism from a "credible online news" source:
"Fan reaction to new 'Ghostbusters' will make you lose AND gain faith in humanity"

You know what always wins an argument AND coerces people to got to the movies? Calling them bigots.


Let's remember the most important thing here: Paul Feig has guaranteed us a "scarier Ghostbusters" with "funny women." GUARANTEED.

Oh I love that...claiming moral superiority by calling detractors bigots out of hand. I have to wonder...why are they so afraid of any criticism at all on this movie?

I don't know if this will mean anything to you diehards, but Feig has made things other than <I>Bridesmaids</I>. <I>Freaks and Geeks</I> is operating in an entirely different tone.

And as I recall, <I>Bridesmaids</I> mostly just had the one gross-out scene. It got a lot of attention, but it was just part of the film.
 
"Freaks and Geeks" was great. I wonder how different it would have been if It only focused on Lindsey, Kim, Jean, Millie, and Cindy. I quite liked Sam and his friends, some of the freaks, and, of course, the great Joe Flaherty as dad. It was well-balanced in its storytelling, episode to episode. But tv and movies are different beasts.

Bridesmaids...meh. Kristen Wigg was great as a lead with what she was given. It's not the performances...it's a pretty solid cast, with some talented people. But on whole, it's riddled with cliches.
Here's a review I agree with, for the most part:

It also happens to be a review from...a woman! (dun dun daaaah)

And as for the toilet humor:
So tired of all the male driven poo poo gags. Take that Dumb and Dumber! You too, Austin Powers!


Where's the full frontal female nudity?! That's all we're missing to stick it to male-driven raunchy comedies, right?

BUUUUUUUUT...Let's remember the most important thing here: Paul Feig has guaranteed us a "scarier Ghostbusters" with "funny women." GUARANTEED.

Wow. Lot of F-bombs for a trailer, among other naughty words. Maybe they wouldn't stand out if they didn't seem so forced?


Clever title.

I fully expected a more bookish-looking assistant. I guess they went for eye candy for the ladies instead.

Mr. Murray is not done filming it quite yet. I'm hoping they consider a cameo scene that includes Bill, Dan and Ernie all at once though. If not, I wonder if none of them will be playing their original characters, which is unfortunate.
