At least two of those people were attractive. The one girl (the "best at physics"? one?) was basically just the attractive one in the trailer.

You understand what not classically beautiful means right?

It doesn’t mean they're ugly.

Also lol at you reducing a character to "the pretty one"

Also they're women not girls.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

Kate McKinnon will probably be the MVP, and I'm and here for that.

 

[Delusibeta]

All reboots of 80s movies franchises are shit, at least initially (Force Awakens is an exception, but the prequel trilogy definitely follows this rule).

 

[rezuth]

If they remade Charlie's Angel to be 4 dudes. Yeah that would be retarded, but they could do it, but I would care more about if it was fun or not.

Dude, I want that now! Sounds amazing.

I liked the trailer, it seems safe and cute but I'm willing to bet that its only the trailer made that way.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Was cautiously optimistic, but that looks like shit.

 

[SneakersSO]

Not particularly. I remember a thread about some fan who was trying to boycott it...?

I mean, I have no nostalgia for the old movies. I caught them on IFC a few weeks ago and I thought they were alright.


This just looks like a slightly better Goosebumps/Pixels. Like, I'll watch it on Netflix but I probably wouldn't pay for it

Holy crap! I was sitting here trying to think what this movie reminded me of, especially some of the later scenes with all the CGI ghosts in Times Square and the team fighting them off, and you totally nailed it; this movie reminds me of Pixels! Yeah, this movie is not doing it for me at all. I'll always have the OG Ghostbusters though.

I wasn't talking about the classically beautiful part!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Twitter is an absolute dumpster fire right now.

It's either idiots knocking the movie based on the cast or people falling over themselves declaring this to be the greatest achievement in the history of cinema.

 

[Red Devil]

Not bad, but the problem is that saving a few things here and there this could really be a trailer for anything.

 

[cyberheater]

Fuck it. I'm in.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Not feeling it based on this but willing to give it a watch. Really not feeling the ghost design/cgi.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I wasn't talking about the classically beautiful part!

What part were you talking about then? The only reference to looks is the classically beautiful line.

You know I love that someone posts a positive message of excitement from a female fan and immediately people rush in to shit on it.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Completely

So, let me get this straight. You're going to ignore the significance of a female-led cast of a major Hollywood reboot in order to spite a girl for feeling empowered?

I won't make up my mind until I see it, but each of these groups are idiotic.

Based on that trailer, it looks like at least one of them is there to be the attractive one.

And it's kind of a ridiculous statement haha. Even if it wasn't, I would guess everyone is replying to it because it's in bold. And then they read it.

 

[BronsonLee]

I can tell you who. GHOSTBUSTERS SPOILERS

Spoiler

It's Chris Hemsworth

What are you even talking about?

Everyone there is there to bust ghosts and has the background required.

Just there to be the attractive one? Jesus

I can tell you who. GHOSTBUSTERS SPOILERS

Ding!

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

I don't like the ghost designs at all

I saw one saying it'll flop the worst in our GENERATION.

But naw, I'm loving both extremes go at it.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Fucking Gamergaters thumbs downing this video on Youtube.

 

[bachikarn]

I thought the trailer looked good at first but slowly got worse.

Just there to be the attractive one?

Yeah! Like one is the leader, one is the goofy one, one is the attractive one, and one is the outsider. They all have their roles.

 

[Forsythia]

Nope. Looks awful.

 

[darscot]

So, let me get this straight. You're going to ignore the significance of a female-led cast of a major Hollywood reboot in order to spite a girl for feeling empowered?

If it empowers her great, but lets not get carried away with its significance. How is this movie groundbreaking?

 

[notworksafe]

Fucking Gamergaters thumbs downing this video on Youtube.

not sure how this logic works

 

[stufte]

Fucking Gamergaters thumbs downing this video on Youtube.

I thumbs downed the video, am I a "Gamergater"?

 

[Brazil]

Looks cool. I don't care much about Ghostbusters, but the theme song always gets me going for some reason.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yeah! Like one is the leader, one is the goofy one, one is the attractive one, and one is the outsider. They all have their roles.

Again what?

You talk like Megan Fox is in this.

Each of them have a field of expertise that allows them to do their jobs. None of them are there to be the pretty one.

 

[Already Torn]

I thumbs downed the video, am I a "Gamergater"?

Did you accidentally thumbs down it, because you were about to thumbs up it for being the most inspiring film of the generation before your hand slipped?

Alright, but like this isn't a documentary. People wrote this story based around certain character roles. They can then tack on whatever nonsense ghost-fighting qualifications to justify them being there.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Those effects look bad.

 

[stufte]

Lol point me to the one that's just there to be hot.

You're going to have a hard time claiming that Kristen Wiig isn't classically beautiful unless you're making a claim about the outfits in this specific film.

It's weird that you seem to think attractive is a bad thing. If the character is solid, the looks shouldn't matter.

 

[notworksafe]

Shit. Am I an accidental gamergater?

maybe you're a subconscious gamergate

 

[Ophelion]

Looks cool. I don't care much about Ghostbusters, but the theme song always gets me going for some reason.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Ghostbusters has an outrageously badass theme song, that's why. Every once in a long while it comes on over the radio at my office and I just stop whatever I'm doing and groove as quietly as possible in my cubicle.

Bustin' makes you feel good.

 

[ExVicis]

Fucking Gamergaters thumbs downing this video on Youtube.

Christ can we stop this? Please for the love of god, can we be reasonable and civil about discussing our opinions of the movie without resorting to this?

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I'm hoping this will turn out to be a really good movie with lackluster advertising.

 

[Already Torn]

Shit. Am I an accidental gamergater?

I think it's okay as long as you delete your YouTube account.

 

[killertofu]

I thought the trailer looked good at first but slowly got worse.

I had the same reaction.

 

[daviyoung]

You're going to have a hard time claiming that Kristen Wiig isn't classically beautiful

oh what the fuck

 

[TheFuzz]

Same! I was born some time after Ghostbusters, but I was given all the toys at a very young age by my older cousin. I LOVED the toys, and movies growing up.



So, despite the trailer not being that great, I'm in full nostalgia hype overload mode.

As someone whose Top 3 has always included Ghostbusters AND as someone about to throw down nearly $400 for a Lego replica of the Firehouse, I still can't understand why nostalgia would get you super-hyped for this.

Different strokes I suppose.

 

[excelsiorlef]

It's weird that you seem to think attractive is a bad thing. If the character is solid, the looks shouldn't matter.

So you don't know what not classically beautiful is either.

It doesn't mean not attractive.

Kristen Wiig is attractive but she's certainly not conventionally so and certainly not in this movie

 

[brandonh83]

oh what the fuck

She's pretty as is Kate but the thing is that the movie isn't trying to go for sex appeal.

 

[Bizazedo]

oh what the fuck

In his or her defense, I've always had a thing for Wiig. So for me, I find two of the four attractive.

 

[daviyoung]

She's pretty as is Kate but the thing is that the movie isn't trying to go for sex appeal.

exactly, it's a completely irrelevant opinion

oh you'd bang her? that's great...

 

[excelsiorlef]

Christ can we stop this? Please for the love of god, can we be reasonable and civil about discussing our opinions of the movie without resorting to this?

There is absolutely a subsection of those down votes coming from sexist morons.

That's been clear since this movie was announced.

 

[Jarmel]

Those effects look bad.

Really? I thought some of them such as the streams shot was good and the one with the Time Square being filled with ghost/zombies was good.

The possession ghost effect looked bad when it leaves McCarthy's body though.

 

[El Topo]

If it empowers her great, but lets not get carried away with its significance. How is this movie groundbreaking?

How many (sort of) big budget movies are there with a predominantely female cast? Honest question.

 

[SFenton]

I didn't like the trailer, I didn't dislike the trailer. I think I need a second one to confirm how I feel.

That being said- I think I like Wiig when she's a little restricted and quieter (this might be a poor choice of words), like she is in the trailer. There's a quality about what I saw that I really really liked. Is she like that in anything else?

 

[Already Torn]

There is absolutely a subsection of those down votes coming from sexist morons.

That's been clear since this movie was announced.

I mean, I'm sure a lot of the up votes aren't from people who legitimately think the movie looks funny.
