As for the sexism thing, I realize that’s not the only reason people are angry but it’s definitely a reason. Just because personally you don’t care that it’s women doesn’t mean lots of other people don’t. There are plenty of commenters out there who make that clear.
Those are called trolls. They do that sort of thing, post inflammatory statements for attention. I seriously doubt most of those people hold those beliefs.
Not everyone mad about the new Ghostbusters is a misogynist but lots of people mad about the new Ghostbusters are.
I don’t think you can know that. I’m not so cynical to say that lots of people hate women.
Not to say if this same movie as advertised featured males it wouldn’t get hate but I think the astronomically high levels of hate we’re seeing are clear signs that misogyny is having some impact.
Or it’s because it looked like an awful cash grab remake that shits directly into the mouth of the beloved classic it was based on. As I said, it’s like a shitty Adam Sandler remake of STAR WARS. Do you want Kevin James as Han Solo? I don’t.
Not to belittle you guys but it’s unfortunate that the debate I’m having about this movie is whether it’s just some piece of garbage that should never have been made. I mostly liked the film but I do have complaints that I’d love to talk about but it’s a shame when the conversation is just about whether it’s completely unfunny (which is most certainly not the case) and not a deeper talk about the filmmaking and where things went wrong there (though of course I know people some people are picking up on that but perhaps don’t quite know how to pin point what’s not so great).
Well please do talk about it. That’s what this thread is for. I’m basing my thoughts solely on the trailers and I’ve seen people say that the trailers made the movie look a lot worse than it actually was.
