Hmmm...
It's Hollywood, so I'm assuming she's the Chinese contortionist.

I'm not overly fond of Old Movie But With Blank Now. Like I said in the other thread, it feels like a gimmick. I don't want diversity to be a gimmick or a selling point. I just want it to be. I'll still probably watch this because the cast already seems great. I'm thirsty for some Awkwafina.

Just Rule 63ing all movies could be fun. I'd be down for a gender bent Austin(a?) Powers.
Older animated films could apply too.

Isn't Sandra Bullock playing his sister who has been in jail for several years? That's what I remember reading about this a long time ago.

I just don't get why people get so bent out of shape over this stuff.
Co-Worker in regards to the new Ghostbusters.
"I'm not sexist, but I think they ruined it by having an all female cast."
lol. I love any sentence that starts with, "I'm not [INSERT TITLE], but...." always cracks me up that people think that is a get out of jail free card.

They are genuinely delusional that matriarchy will happen any time soon if you give an inch to women.
an alternate bond film where the lead is pushed to the fringe of society because people won't stand for his bullshit would be a really interesting take on the series
Statham in Spy is almost this.

capitalism will win the day. If the female remakes do well, then more will be made. Ghostbusters got it off to a bad start but if the female Oceans 11 can keep their budget low and fans show up it could be very profitable

I'm increasingly skeptical why "some people said things on Twitter" is a story, and why we should collectively react to it.
It seems like we as a society decided YouTube comments were pure garbage, but then we sit in rapt attention as garbage people tweet garbage things? Why?
Twitter abuse and harassment? Yeah that's something we should care about. Twitter garbage opinions? Just block and ignore this from your lives... Come on.

Sorry, but the nice guy with mild tone, reasonable points of discussion, constructive criticism and praise doesn't generate as many clicks.

And then they get angry because nobody wants to rub nasties with them.
It is not a reboot? It continues the story? Why is your problem a red herring and not the sexism?
The people clicking/sharing are just continuing this stupidity.
We are giving these few too much of a voice.
Bravo!

I would watch the SHIT out of Nicefellas. A movie about mafiosos who constantly get friendzoned? Get Scorsese on the horn.
Oh god. I need to dive into the mgtow dumb-bucket again. I did it a few months ago during an art jam with some friends of mine and we got to videos of copulens and how female demons use mind control/ memory altering scents (teenage butter!) and fluids and it... ugh... it's all so gloriously delusional and dumb and entertaining. And sad. But entertaining.

I don't see them, but there is always a (silly) unconscious assumption people on Internet will be around my age.
This always reminds me that yep, 14 years old boys also have access to Internet.

This is one of those movements that I have a hard time believing isn't some huge inside joke or prank.

I mean, we all know studios frivolously do this because it'll get the feminist audience but this doesn't mean the movies will be good at all. Then again, they were going to remake them anyway.
I hope it stops the "fairy tale as an epic" trend though. That's fucking annoying.

Ocean's 11 was a 1960 film that's only famous because it starred the Rat Pack.
Don't blame the kids - a lot of the people behind this nonsense are fully grown adults.

Didn't in the other thread they were going the "Prequel" route persay
Ocean's 8, 9, 10 as the female cast, then the 3 male ones as 11, 12, 13
Nice ensemble of female chars that should compliment each other
Please do not shoehorn all the actresses into the same male role and call it a day
Point is to make the characters feel like they are the character
I swear if they go Sandra Bullock is the Danby Ocean type, "actress lead #2" as Brad Pitt char, youve doomed your movie from the start
Hollywood can reboot/remake but stop putting the same arc types and just replace a penis for a vagina doesn't cut it
Let the females setup their own quirks and style, I swear Bullock will ape Clooney's Danny verbatim in style/speak/act

I wasn't referring to Ocean's 11 when I made that comment. I was just stating that that a studio could pull out some barely heard of movie from the 50's, remake it with a female cast and it would still get a ton of shit from "fans" saying its an affront to the original or what not.
Parody posts like yours are pretty difficult to tell apart from genuine idiocy.
But to clear. There is no indication studios are targeting people who see women as equals.
No movie is automatically good,
It won't. It makes shitload of money.
This isn't a remake.
It's a safe bet that things are going to continue to get worse, and this isn't a 'trend' that is going away.
In regards to the film itself, I'm down with everything about this. I just hope they give it the care that it is going to need to be good. The cast is interesting, and I'm a fan of most. I'm sure I can leave my issues with Kaling behind for an hour or two and just enjoy the performance. Bring it on!

Who cares? Seriously I dont get what the gender of the cast has to do with the quality of the film. I wasnt crazy about the new ghostbusters, but I also would have felt the same way if the cast was all male, or mix gendered. My issues more stemmed to the tone and what the film was trying to be as opposed to what it should be. That sounds like a pretty good cast for a new oceans! Hopefully the direction and writing is there to help that.
RLM were up their own asses trying to defend that nonsense even if they might have touched upon some good points.

The point of RLM was that it was a minority of sexist internet trolls was blamed for a popular rejection towards the concept of Ghostbusters 16.
Now we have a story about a minority of internet trolls.
You are incredibly too early to jump on the "see RLM??" train with this one. The fact that you've rushed to jump at sexist shadows actually builds their point.

My thoughts exactly. The original Oceans 11 oozed class and sophistication and was an excellent snap shot in that area if how things were. The remakes with Clonney et al were the same.
The cast is interesting but I don't see why they need the Oceans name. I would be in for it.

Most of those "clever" titles seem to be criticisms aimed at the content of those movies. Like the James Bond sexual content one. I wouldn't understand what the hell the people behind this were trying to do if I didn't read the article.
...So I don't think this hashtag was thought out too well.

RLM never denied that sexism/racism didn't exist in terms of the backlash against GB16, they just argued it was a vocal minority who were given a platform by the studio by drawing attention to it instead of ignoring it. This same backlash happened for Star Wars and Mad Max, the difference was the majority including the studio ignored those people and they got crushed when the films had positive sounding development, great trailers, got great reviews, had great word of mouth, and made a lot of money. GB16 had concerning development, bad trailers, got mixed reviews, had mixed word of mouth, and underperformed. Oceans 8 so far has positive development in its casting and if the trailer looks good the sexist minority will be blown out by the masses who'll be generally excited.
