Ugh, I remember the song and video. The ironic part was that those dudes from the band were from wealthy families, which is why they never did anything after that cover. KROQ used to play the shit out of it.

one of the tweets on that page is:

@paulfeig I showed by 5-year-old daughter a photo of them and her eyes lit up: "They're girls!!!"
do 5-year olds these days even know that there were ghostbusters before? like, have they had a recent cartoon or something that these kids would reference?

Really? because her work on SNL is completely unfunny

Not sure why we're not raving in here too.
Because it doesn't look very good (to me). I'm sure they could find 5 times as many negative tweets about it if they wanted.

I don't know - you seem to have an issue with a team of women fighting ghosts. I'm assuming it's because the 80s version had a team of men, which must have somehow established that only men can do it because it's such a problem that women are doing it now.

I don't watch SNL. Top Five is rated R, so everything goes.

Yeah, why would a Ghostbuster ever tuck their pants into their boots?

Most of them look like they are using boot bands or something similar, as appose to be pulled straight and tucked all the way into the boot. Plus they arnt wearing rain boots.

Some of you guys are really trying too hard to hate on what they're wearing.

The nitpicking is more ridiculous than the multiple-page discussion we had about the scratches on Captain America's shield.

I realized some time ago this isn't a movie made for the old fans so hey, whatever. As was said before, it's not as if the original will be taken off shelves, though I do hope new fans will check it out.

The logo and look of the costumes says otherwise. Clear "tip of the cap" to the original.

The title of the movie, and the logo disagree with you

Tip of the cap is one thing but this is made for a new generation.

Then I guess I disagree with the title and the logo. So there.

Re: Ghostbusters - Female reboot (D: Feig, S: McCarthy, Wiig, Jones, McKinnon)
Are the stripes supposed to be reflective tape like what bicyclists use? So far the original suits look better but the new suits being shown look like something non-glamorous scientists/exterminators might wear. I thought that a reboot of Ghostbusters would have multi-colored costumes or have some kind of advanced tech look to them or have armor so I'm glad these pics show that so far, that it's rooted a little in reality.

About the all female cast...
had they cast all guys the producers would have had a hard time getting audiences or fans not to compare them to Murray and company.
