No, it's really not. But I don't entirely blame you for thinking this way. When all you know about a subject is what you read on the internet, of course you'll believe that everything falls to the extremes. That's what the internet does. It takes a totally appropriate set of ideals and pushes it to the extremes.
I urge you to go out and have a conversation with real life women. You'll be surprised that all they really want is to be treated as equals and they don't care if you sit with your legs spread open.

The Amazing Atheist had a lot to say about the most hated trailer in youtube history. Pretty much saying there is nothing competent about this movie. Rebooting a classic movie, and not for the fans, but for fat tumblr feminists.

Nothing competent? That guy needs to be introduced to the works of Coleman Francis. Truly incompetent films are rare.
While there are a lot of bad movies made every year, the ones that have nothing competent about them are lucky to turn up on a director's YouTube page.

You mean TJ
Kirk?
Or is it this TJ
Kirk?
Just trying to figure out if you're linking to the right person claiming not to be a complete pile of shit.
I think we should give the guy who raped you a medal. I hope you fucking drown in rape semen, you ugly, mean-spirited cow
Or is it this TJ
Rape isn't fatal. So imagine my indignation when I saw a chatroom called 'Rape Survivors.' Is this supposed to impress me? Someone fucked you when you didn't want to be fucked and you're amazed that you survived? Unless he used a chainsaw instead of his dick, what's the big deal? I don’t mean to be horrendously offensive and insensitive here, but everyone survives rape. The word survivor applies to people who are alive after being stabbed 73 times with an ice pick or mauled by rabid wolverines, not to a woman who gets dick when she doesn't want it. Just because you got raped, you have to rape the English language? You vindictive bitch! Also, don't you ever get tired of being the victim? How many failed relationships are you going to blame on a single violation of your personal space?

^^^I don't know what your getting at? Just figured I would post this video here since he was mentioned in the Regressive left thread. We all have a part to play in making sure this version of Ghostbusters is destroyed and an utter failure. Amy Pascal thankfully lost her job after the Sony hack. I honestly don't know how Tom Rothman got another job after the countless movies he destroyed at Fox. Since Paul Feig thinks we are all too stupid to understand his genius, hopefully this movie kills his career.

Why does everything have to be DESTROYED by you guys? Why can't it just fizzle into insignificance; a lost memory of a time when women were the stars of action comedies? Why are you SO angry, broh?

I know they are out to get me, this movie proves my point of that. That's what I mean I hope it fades into insignificance. I mean a fan4stic level of a bomb.

No, I know what the hidden agenda behind this movie is. They want to destroy the original because four men in the lead is now offensive. Oh no Sigourney Weaver is a damsel, oh no someone made a period joke, oh no someone made a blowjob joke.

I don't think anyone is really saying anything of value in the negative towards Ghostbusters 1. It's pretty much held pretty high in regard.
Just get a fleshlight and fuck yourself to not feel so wronged by the vagina.

I can't tell if you're being serious now or not.

I think it's just a studio and a bunch of people trying to make a (funny) movie that makes money, for better or worse. Maybe i'm just naive.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016) - The Trailer
Not really. Ghostbusters was an organic concept that came from Dan Akroyd's mind. The story that he had envisioned four males. That story became one of the most popular and iconic movies ever. You can't have something which was never seen before be a gimmick. By the same token, Paul Feig's entire pitch for this was "Hey Ghostbusters with women!" So yes, it is a gimmick and it's not hard for most people with the exception of you and Guru to see.
If the first Ghostbusters would've had four female leads: original
If 30 years later, a reboot with four male leads: gimmick.
Not sure why this concept is so hard to grasp for some people.
What if '39's The Women which had an all-female cast been remade with basically the same premise but with an all-male cast, would that not be a gimmick as well? It can work both ways.
