Ghostbusters (2016) Review Megathread by toiletting in movies ↑ [-] sodiummuffin C [+2] [H 55 points* 3 hours ago Tl;dr all positive reviews are SJW feminist shills Looks like it, yeah. Do you really think the same people who wrote articles beforehand defending the movie from "misogynist haters" or otherwise turning it into a political issue were going to review it negatively? For example, looking at positive reviews and the other activity from the authors: Stephanie Zacharek (TIME)。 The same author wrote this a month ago Why Ghostbusters Is the Must-See Movie of the Summer Season O The misogynist outrage over the Ghostbusters remake has made it essential viewing How likely was someone who wrote that to give the movie a negative review? Barry Hertz (Globe and Mail)。 This reboot is a revelation - and it ain't afraid of no misogynists Well, maybe not so much a mystery as just a dispiriting reminder that misogyny is alive and well on the Internet, where it can metastasize to gross extremes with zero justification. And for anyone eager to stand atop a pedestal to righteously proclaim that objections to a new Ghostbusters simply stem from a frustration with Hollywood exploiting adolescent nostalgia, well, where are all the virulent Internet campaigns against, say, the new Ninja Turtles series? No, it is easy to see what the Ghostbusters furor is really about: angry, bored, women-hating men expending otherwise untapped energy mining their own feelings of social inadequacy in a toxic bid for attention Nigel M. Smith (Guardian)。 Ghostbusters review: call off the trolls- Paul Feig's female reboot is a blast Shockingly the guy that's been complaining about "haters" for months before seeing the movie thinks the haters were wrong https://twitter.com/nigelmfs/status/707580882022830080이실 Can't wait - and screw the haters: New Ghostbusters trailer nods to controversy over race and gender https://twitter.com/nigelmfs/status/73292 5646230282 242。 |Aa F*ck the haters-this new #Ghostbusters trailer has me psyched https://twitter.com/nigelmfs/status/7388 16760489476096이Aa It doesn't need to-women & gays will make it a hit: #Ghostbusters targets male viewers w/ new NBA ads Manohla Dargis (New York Times)。 Girls rule, women are funny, get over it Joshua Rothkopf (Time Out) O https://twitter.com/joshroth kopf/status/752 197739052724225이Aa I actually think the #Ghostbusters concept works better as "nerd girls vs mansplainers" instead of "blue-collar schlubs vs the EPA." Alison Willmore (Buzzfeed News) O Remaking this beloved film with women as leads is an act revolu legions of Ghostbros their childhoods nary enough to attract the ire o sisting that the very concept will warp time and space to retroactively ruin Robbie Collin (Daily Telegraph。 Previous article:O Forget the sexist naysayers, says Robbie Collin - if the first trailer is anything to go by, this all-female reboot will be every bit as fun as the 1984 original https://twitter.com/robbiereviews/status/52021641 58326661 13。|Aa s but when is it MALE Ghostbusters Day?

"Ghostbusters': All-Female Reboot a Victim of 2016's 'Anti-Hillary Movement, Says Director Paul l'eig By J. Kim Murphy V "Some really brilliant author or researcher or sociologist needs to write a book about 2016 and how intertwined [our film was] with Hillary [Clinton] and the anti-Hillary movement," Feig said. "It was just this everyone went to a boiling point. I don't know if it was [having] an African- year where American president for eight years [that] teed them up or something, but they were just ready to explode... By the time, in 2014 or 2015, when I announced I was going to [make] it, it started." Feig went on to point toward President Trump's own negative comments regarding the film as indicative of a larger ideological tie between the criticism both faced. "It's crazy how people got nuts about women trying to be in power or trying to be in positions that they weren't normally in," Feig said. "It was an ugly, ugly year."
