"Ghostbusters" (2016)

Columbia couldn't sell their souls fast enough.
And I gave every chance I could possibly give to like this so I can tell the true misogynist that they were wrong.
This movie fails at EVERY level. Like...EVERY LEVEL. And, in fact, set women back decades. I even gave them a mulligan by saying the original 1984 version isn't even all that great.

This was a mess and everyone knew it. A few failings and it could've stuck it to the guys, but whatever chance it had to zig it zagged. And I'm absolutely confused as to why at some point, someone didn't just...quit. I mean...stop production. It felt like in the middle of it, they just spent so much they couldn't quit.

What this lacked that they original had was...innocence. And that was to their benefit. Today, we're not only cynical, we have to deal with nostalgia. Let's face it, director Paul Feig was too arrogant and barreled through, determined and convinced he could do this. In fact what he did was kill a franchise AND put him on watch. Idiot. He'll get another chance somewhere. I'm sure Melissa McCarthy will find a place ("Bridesmaids" was an idiotic stupid movie, this movie proves my point).

The other thing about the original that Feig completely fucked up on? He casted four female comedians. WRONG!!
Did he not understand that Bill Murray was the funny one? The rest aren't funny in the least. Dan Akroyd was the straight man, Harold Ramis was a writer and Ernie Hudson... well, you get it. In this mess, EVERYONE is a comedian. OR thinks they can be. Chris Hemsworth is as funny as cancer. I'd rather get cancer than listen to his idiotic dribbling. He's REALLY bad at comedy. Because he thinks he's on Saturday Night Live. Leslie Jones...Jesus Christ, I prayed so hard for her not to do her chicken neck Miss Thang Black lady schtick. She couldn't stop. It was embarassing to a point where you're convinced even SHE was like "that's just too Black."
This was an embarrassment on all levels. But everyone got pad so to Paul Feig, fuck us, right?
