Ghostbusters 2016 was directed by Paul Feig, was poorly received by fans and he still hasn't recovered. No-one expects rants about leadership contests 8 years later, but it's clearly been on his mind. After 8 years he still hasn't learnt a single lesson of how to talk to the press, let alone the reasons for failure of a movie. The only thing he seems to be able to blame, is what he cared about personally at the time. And if he cared about it, SURELY you must have too, even if you're not in America and never even heard of 1 quote by 1 person. To go this long and still blame one guy for an INTERNATIONAL reaction, shows such a poor lack of introspection, you have to wonder does Hollywood even have good analysists for failure? But what do you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Dan Aykroyd “I liked the movie [director] Paul Feig made with those spectacular women,” he told People. “I was mad at them at the time because I was supposed to be a producer on there and I didn’t do my job and I didn’t argue about costs. And it cost perhaps more than it should, and they all do. All these movies do.
Dan Aykroyd “But boy, I liked that film. I thought that the villain at the end was great. I loved so much of it. And of course, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, you’re never going to do better than that. So I go on the record as saying I’m so proud to have been able to license that movie and have a hand and have a part in it, and I’m fully supportive of it, and I don’t besmirch it at all. I think it works really great amongst all the ones that have been made,” added Aykroyd.
GB 2016 was abysmally written, directed in a sloppy slapdash manner and seemingly edited by an intern. All of which puts Feig squarely in the crosshairs of blame for this shit show of a movie that led the vanguard of Hollywood Identity obsession that in turn has all but destroyed western popular culture. If there is any justice the internet and it's denizens will relentlessly hound Feig for these actions until his dying day.
Maybe less physically aggressive but certainly way more toxic. Women working together with any mutual respect only happens in fiction. The constant backstabbing is way more toxic.
As a woman: HA! Good lord, I can hardly fathom people genuinely believing that. Women can be just as aggressive and toxic as men. We may not be equally able or skilled in all areas, but we're all equally capable of being awful people.
Remember folks; Leslie Jones said the film didn't tank because it was bad, it tanked because the audiences are bad and don't like female-led films. We'll just ignore the fact that the 3 highest grossing movies that year were Wonder Woman, Beauty and the Beast and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Also, all the other great female lead movies that WEREN'T s**t that preceded this garbage, such as Alien, Terminators 1 and 2, and Kill Bill, just to name a few.
@@MangasColoradas941 Personally, I agree. But there's no denying they made a fortune for the studio and, personal opinions aside, two of them are actually pretty well regarded.
@@MangasColoradas941 I wasn't a fan either, but I acknowledge that that's because they just weren't my kind of movies. For people who like that sort of stuff, those are the movies to emulate, to aspire to.
Bridesmaid was meant to be the female version of The hangover. Thing is, you watch the Hangover and know fine well that's the stuff you and your pals would do (been in many a stag do) Men with age around their pals revert back to childish idiot......and i love that. Women are far too serious.
@@jonfreeman9682 Meh. Kinda fanservice. Ghostbusters was lightning in a bottle. I think. Trying to recapture that now is like trying to get the Beatles back together. The time has passed.
For an eight year old an hour of time is 0.001% of their entire life. For a 35 year old an hour of time is 0.0003% of their entire life. Time accelerates as you age, because each hour that passes is a smaller and smaller part of your memory. By the time you're 85 each hour is basically a blink at 0.0001% of your life.
She never should have had a career in comedy. Her stand up was the most amateur night at the Apollo BS I've ever seen. All she did was rip off Katt Williams delivery with goofy concepts that went on for far too long. She has a ten minute bit about swinging from a shower rod because she wanted to be a gymnast and the punchline is she gets her ass whooped. So original.
@@Bonesawisready926 her 'Problem Child" show here on yout ube at 52 min onward she is horribly dripping sweaty and her comedy is to get up close and inches away and stand over people getting in the audience's personal space. Audience victims are withdrawing in disgust and she can't comprehend it's her sweat
So he blames men...... even though it was reported that men made up 45% of the audience that went to see it. Says nothing about women not supporting it nor the numerous women critics who trashed it. Irony.
Its the reason why Biden said if you dont vote for me you are not black. They assume every non white person is liberal/democrat/woke. And they assume every women loves girl boss, pseudo feminism etc. So he believes women are incapable of hating woke shit. And if they do, he would call them traitor. This is the reason why they are ignored - they want them to be victims, not people with a unique opinion.
A lot of the problem with Ghostbusters 2016 was that they treated it like a cheap comedy, with unfunny characters and unfunny jokes. I've never felt that Ghostbusters 1 & 2 weren't made as comedies, they just happen to start funny people.
I only watched it bc like everyone in that movie were my favorite actresses except one of them but they did them so dirty in that movie so it genuinely is the directors fault and everything cheap comedy unfunny everything so I completely agree I was very disappointed when I saw how bad the movie was when they had actresses that are actually good actresses that can be genuinely funny by themselves
@@mupty Who is just bitter. I looked up her IMDB, even though I knew a lot of the stuff she's been in. The vast majority of the stuff she has been in is "Meh". Maybe the "Meh" is not her fault as she was just one of many. But her series of "Tammy - this " and "Tammy - that" in 2014 is all her and IMDB numbers are pathetic. Her time on The Gilmore Girls is her highest average on IMDB for the show. She didn't carry it. Around 2016 I think she saw herself as the next big thing. Didn't happen.
In fairness, MM's equally unfunny husband helped tank her career by cranking out a series of really bad screenplays which she apparently felt obligated to produce and star in.
It's kind of sad when you really think about it. Dude was bullied as a kid and he learned to hide behind girls to protect himself. Now he's a director, multimillionaire, middle aged.. and he's whining about people bullying him online and hiding behind women to protect himself. He never managed to shake that childhood trauma, he's still operating on the exact same level. He needs a good therapist.
Ah, the classic appeal to triviality. "It doesn't matter that I made it all-female! It doesn't matter! Why do you care?!?" Well, Paul - can I call you Paul? - if it does not matter, why did you consciously and intentionally do it?
Movie was announced TEN YEARS ago! A decade of moaning! The movie was crap Paul. The script was crap Paul. Not because the cast sit down to pee. Not because of their chromosomes. It was crap and made no money. That's why it didn't get a sequel. That's why no one likes it.
There's comparisons side by side that show how the remake was subpar in relation to the original even in how much the scenes accomplished. The original can establish a lot of things in a single scene while the remake can't even make minimum plot progression with longer takes. But no, the audience is wrong and everyone is a bigot
The thing that gets me is they refuse to hear why people hated the film. They just blame it all on misogyny. It was a four player “joke-paddy cake” game. They all got to be “funny.” It is like the writers just didn’t understand why the original was funny.
@@josebrown5961 Mr. Plinkett did a video about it and explained the exact same feelings as you and why it doesn't work 👍👍 There's no focus and no one stops talking as they're all trying to ad-lib and be 'the funniest'.
The 2 newer Ghostbusters had a good story line and the acting seemed like it flowed between the actors I really liked the 2 newer ones They aren't my favorite but I like the story and the mesh between the actors and characters they portrayed
@@RCenal Afterlife and Frozen empire were both as shit as the 2016 movie. Even Ghosbusters 2 was better than all three of the newer Ghostbusters films and that is generally regarded as not a very good movie, or at least it was before those other three movies came out..
@@jeremyriley1238 Lol, you seriously think Afterlife and Frozen Empire weren't equally as bad as Answer The Call? lmao. What movies did you watch? they might as well of cast the whole kiddie cast of Woker Things since the majority of the main cast were kids pretending to be Ghosbusters...
Everything wrong with modern entertainment started way before you noticed it. For just one example, Verhoeven's twisted, contemptuous take on Starship Troopers--and even then, the slide was in progress.
Oh dear - no. What's wrong with modern entertainment began long before this movie. It is, however, quite possibly the most shining example of this problem.
Did anybody even watch the school of good and evil? Netflix hasn't talked about that movie since it was made And for any wondering What? Irs the film that was marketed "from the mind that created Ghostbusters 2016"
That director would have made more money filming himself flushing $144 million dollars down the porcelain throne for 116 minutes and it would have been a better movie.
I wouldn't get annoyed but the Ghostbusters reboot was deliberately set up as a political statement. I remember them running the whole 'promoting women behind the camera stuff' and the fact that there were plans for an all female cast right from pre-production. It's the constant lying that I just can't stand. You decided to make a woke film, you set it up as a woke film, you marketed as a woke film, you got EXACTLY what you asked for.
Paul claimed he didn't think it was a big deal. _Everybody else_ turned it into a political statement. - That's a straight-up lie, because like you said, he and they made it political from day one, and so everyone in the public engaged with it as it was presented.
In the end product, the least of my problems is really the all-female Ghostbusters. It could've been done so much better and fans could've even taken it. But instead we got this thing that claims not being sexist because apparently only men are capable of sexism... Which, well, Paul Feig clearly isn't an exception that rule. The GB-ATC was so sexist that I can't even wrap my head around it. But admittedly, back then I wasn't quite so aware or bugged by what these people were doing to movies.
Nothing beats Dan Aykroyd interview about Paul Feig costing Sony 40 million in reshoots. Can you imagine* spending $40 extra million on a already bad movie!?
If only Disney, didn't spend even more trying to fix Snow White. Pretty sure they spent enough, to have totally scrapped the movie, and started over. Can't wait to see how much money it makes, when it is finally released. Of course hey will totally lie about the money spent and made, like seems to be their recent mo.
If he's still holding on it means his ego is not massive at all. He probably has a personality disorder and underneath the mask is a man child with very little self esteem.
The rings of power actually does take away from the original movies. It did so when the original Hobbit actors came out calling critics of the show racists and sexists. Made people like myself lose respect for them, and unable to appreciate their past work. Like a Robert Deniro, or Jack Black, Dwayne Johnson, etc, they've tarnished their reputations beyond repair, and in doing so, lost fans who would have otherwise still watched their older work.
Okay, this entire comment right here is just plain disappointing. If you don’t like something, just don’t watch, but treating even the old cast like this over it is just plain stupid.
@@sonicinfinity1871 so we shouldn’t defend or criticize and or complain about how certain people and multi-million dollar companies are treated our favorite characters and entertainment in fiction like €rap because we can just “walk away” from our favorite escapist fantasies??? If you truly believe that “walk away” (or more accurately “give up”) nonsense YOU yourself would NEVER have made this comment in the first place and have “walked away” from the discussion here. 😠
congratulations on continuing to prove everything I said. Look, if you are losing respect for actors just because they defended before from unfair treatment, then people like you are absolutely a problem. It’s pathetic. Attitudes like yours make it impossible to tell if they’re even valid or if it’s just the ramblings of some angry guy in the internet who just wants to complain. And I said walk away because it’s clear you’re only here to get angry and complain. You don’t have any right to attack people like this. You’re not “defending” or “criticizing”, you’re just complaining. I’m just telling you no one is forcing you to watch a show you don’t like, especially not just to act like this.
@@benclark4823 Dude, ENOUGH. You are acting like the embodiment of entitlement right now. You seriously think that just because the actors are standing up for people who faced unfair harassment, they deserve to lose respect just because they didn’t treat this show as the coming of the apocalypse like you did. If you’re really gonna behave like this, you shouldn’t be watching the show at all just so you can complain, and more importantly treat some actual human beings like the scum of the earth. This is why I am here. No one is forcing you to watch a show you don’t like, but I am going to call out behavior like because it is NOT okay.
"Deadpool and Wolverine", a non-PC, totally irreverent goofball R-rated comedy.... just made over $1.3 BILLION.... and Paul Feig still can't understand.
The flak that James Rolfe got back then for saying that he didn't want to see it, not because they were all female Ghostbusters, but because it wasn't going to be the proper passing of the torch film that he thought the franchise deserved was one of the things that really opened my eyes to the ideological takeover that was going on. The Narrative was out and they ran with it that he was sexist etcetera.
even though i'm a fan of James, I thought that was a weak ass move. "No Review I refuse" was basically him being up his own ass. He didn't have to review it, but him saying he wasn't was along the lines of that Lebron James 'The Decision" stuff. Cool, you're not doing a review, doesn't need its own video. Even if he didn't think it was going to be a true passing, he should've reviewed it since its an IP that's cashing in on Nostalgia which is part of his branding. Don't think he's sexist at all, but that wasn't the move. Then again Mike showing his cock to the masses wasn't the move either. So who knows what they do over there 😂
I remember that. And James has always been entirely apolitical! He had ZERO clue about the hornet’s nest that he kicked when he made that video. But the beauty of it was that James’s video gave us a window into how the every day ghostbusters fan, unpoisoned by the political dialogue online saw the preview and felt it didn’t properly respect the source material. Disney Star Wars made a similar mistake. They did try to “pass the torch”, a little bit, but they could have done so without deconstructing Luke and killing off all of the old beloved characters.
I liked the summation of “pile on” - “Oh no I posted something online and people responded! Pile on!” Lolol It’s great because everyone is getting sick of these people claiming responding, or god forbid giving criticism is a pile on, or an attack or harassment. Criticism is good, and helps people get better, and they just scream these things in hopes that people will be afraid to criticize.
I would also lump Kevin Smith as Silent Bob in there (before he turned into a woke sell-out, of course). Not quite the same level, but being able to emote without speaking isn't something everyone can do and he only did it because he admitted that he doesn't think he can act, so Silent Bob was born.
Are we sure Paul Feig wasn't at that Florida golf course? This man's tombstone is going to read "The guy who fk'ed up ghostbusters!"..... and he knows it.
Thing is, if he'd actually get off his ass and start making good works (or even just acceptable wastes of time), everyone would've forgotten about it by now. But then again, if he were that sort of person, he wouldn't have botched GB16 as badly as he did.
@@lugismansion2400 Of course.. he is the non-threatening male they can keep around to show off to their friends because all he does is complement them.
Paul and Hollyweird: "We're right and any who would even consider disagreeing is wrong, especially the plebes." The 'Plebes': "Okay. We'll ignore you." Hollyweird: "WAIT, DON'T DO THAT!"
I will give the guy ONE allowance. You rightfully pointed out that he knows how to make stuff that appeals to specific audiences in the context of the Office, but that he seems to lack that level of self awareness. I have realized that I have been similar to him when it comes to playing strategy games. I literally see the chess board differently when I watch other people play than when I am playing myself. I have no idea why or how, but I do. So you know what, I feel for the guy. Much like how I wish I was better at playing chess than I was at disassembling other people playing chess, I wish he was better at making comedies than he was at watching other people making comedies.
This is why I refuse to acknowledge the film. It was just a marketing stunt to piss off as many fans as possible, and not a single fuck was given about the quality of the film on its own merits. It existed solely to insult fans enough to initiate hate watchers to see it.
So if in total Ghostbusters 2016 made $128,350,574 domestically... and taking that the average ticket prices at that time being $8.95 (round to $9 to make the math easier) That would mean in total that around 14,261,174 tickets were sold. Now with the total population of the USA at that time being 323,127,515. Assuming each ticket purchase is a different person. Only 14mil out of 323mil went to see the film which is 4%... 4% of the total US population could be bothered to watch your shit. That would also mean that 96% of the population, according to their logic, just hate women... and out of that 96% a large portion of those would be women. So what does the mass media have to say about that?
@@ExecutionStyleInc Honestly this is likely the only way to tell a bad creator from a good creator. Someone who is good at creating things accepts personal responsibility, criticism and takes their experience forward, knowing where they went wrong. I have never seen a Mangaka whose Manga flops scream at their fans for not buying their newest work. Hell, the best creators I know of have huge flops within their collective work and just accept it and move on to their next creation.
Oh honey, no we weren't looking for a fight, we saw a lot of VERY BAD MISTAKES FROM THE GET-GO and realised how bad it'd be. Remember how they said it was "4 scientists" in the initial teaser? Yeah, as soon as we saw that we knew where this was going and said no, then you picked a fight with the entire internet and that never ends well.
The marketing did no favors for it too. Like when they put out a teaser that literally said "women are funny, get over it". They're just salty that they failed to win the populace over.
I actually watched Ghostbusters 2016 a couple of years ago thinking “it can’t be THAT bad”! It was. If you’ve never seen it, I cannot advise you strongly enough - do not waste your time!
i actually didnt dislike this movie when i originally saw it but that was because i was like 14, so this movie was kinda my first exposure to " female lead slop " genre. this movie is actually one of the things that got me into ghost busters because i loved the idea behind ppl fighting ghosts so much. i kinda forgot how bad the movie would've been in a logical sense but i still liked it
Oh look, Hollywood is still stuck in 2016's TDS and Disparu's dropped a new video about it. Finally some good entertainment, if only Hollyweird could deliver that themselves.🍿
After all those years of being bullied, he still seemingly never learned humility or developed the ability to reflect on himself. Sounds like a great guy 😒
Isn’t it more accurate to say that when asked about a movie he made that got him attacked for almost a decade he might be angry with those still misconstruing his words?
I was a loner in Highschool, but one of the few groups I found solace in was a lunch table of BIack girls that adored me (and would've likely b£aten any bully if I asked them, but I usually dealt with it myself without vioIen¢e). I was a senior when the trailers were out and we were talking about them... Spoiler Alert: we were trashing it because it looked bad. My point being, the insecure manlet of a Director saying he was bullied in school and ran to girls for protection as an excuse for how the movie turned out doesn't work with me. Of course, it didn't work on anyone else either.
Show biz has had a saying for a long time . “The audience is always right.” If they don’t like your movie then it’s not them. it’s the movie. People used to understand that they had to make products people wanted to see not what they wanted people to see.
@Disparu & all, the funny thing about this is: When my female friends & I first heard about this film circa 2014-15 or whatever, we were actually some of those people who not only were okay with the gender swaps, we were actually looking forward to it. For context, like most people back then, we were left-leaning moderate centrists (thank God we never caught the TDS a couple of years later), but that wasn't the reason we were interested. Our thought process was simply a very sensible AND fair, "Hey, why not? Ghostbusters is a great property, the cast and crew have a good record in comedy, so let's give 'em a chance. It could actually be fun." So yes, we WERE that no-gatekeeping Modern Audience they're STILL looking for today. When 2016 finally came around, on the first opening weekend, I even brought along my mom & my grandma with us to see it. I can't remember the exact details because I haven't seen the flick since then, but I do remember this VIVIDLY: During the opening credits/scenes with Wiig, we were actually smiling and even quietly giggling because of the hype we've built up in our heads, but folks, I $#!+ you not, after they revealed the opening ghost (a la the OG), we (& the other audience) never again smiled or laughed until the end credits rolled, and we left the theatre to have a quiet, late dinner. To this day, some people think I'm joking or exaggerating about this tale, EXCEPT for the eight of us, and the other moviegoers in that cinema, that evening. People don't need socio-politics to know if something's bad. Either it is or it isn't, and it just was.
The people behind 2016 movie had to beg in order to be part of the Ghostbusters collector's edition. The movies wasn't a physical copy but a digital download code. I'm sure it's easy enough to see how many people actually used said code to get the movie
I saw it in the theater, and I am not proud. But I feel that because I paid my money I can say it sucked. I can also say why. The writers were the problem. Those ladies can be funny, they were not the problem. Let someone who understands the original write for those four characters and it could be a hit.
But then, fan-disservice was always the overarching goal. Why do you think the put Fieg in charge of this? Every layer of ineptitude better guarantees audience alienation.
As a kid I had mostly female friends, I was also raised predominantly by women. And much like this director, most of the male influence in my life was also toxic. But here's the plot twist, I had to understand that not every man was a horrible person or dribbling idiot much like the clowns I ran into. My mother had to teach me this as did my peers who were as I said, mostly women. These great people in my life taught me how to be a gentleman and respect everyone the same way I wish to be treated. Because if I don't do that I'll just be stoking the flame instead of putting it out. But unfortunately, not everyone had stable people in their lives to teach them that fueling the fire solves nothing. Sincerest apologies for the long rant. I grow tired of seeing these theas "artist" complain about a specific gender, and think their work that does nothing but bash the opposite side is the solution. When all it does is feed it like the fat hungry demon it is.
I've said it before. It should have had a story of how Kristen Wiig's character was trying to step out of Egon's scientific shadow and eventually learns to embrace her heritage and becomes a success. And with family lineage of Ghostbusters afterlife it would have worked perfectly fit with the storyline and allowed both sisters to have their own versions of embracing their family heritage.
It's wild to me how directors think they are actually important, but the majority of the audience doesn't give a shit about who is behind the scenes. They only care about who is on screen, and even then most people probably don't even care enough about the actors to know their real names. It's a false sense of grandeur that, in most cases, isn't even earned.
I remember Ghostbusters 2016 as the first fullblown woke movie. At that time I figured it would bomb and the studios would give us good movies again within a year or two. Boy was I wrong.
It was indeed the first fully woke movie. And the first one where the makers and all involved lashed out at the very audience who might have seen it, then lashed out at them again when they did not turn up. Totally missing the fact that the film was utter crap. The irony is as you say they continued to make crap woke films and tv shows, and not a single one of them has taken money or been a huge hit with an audience. The Marvels, Ms Marvel, Indy 5, Willow, Flash, Birds of Prey, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Little Mermaid, Terminator Dark Fate, Terminator Genisys, Echo, Secret Wars, Acolyte and so on the list goes on and on, and nothing made bank and cost mega millions to make...
Nope. What actually happened is Hollowood took a bath on this and other movies like it and that, along with the lckdwns, forced them to take the DEI checks to stay afloat. It's not 'Get Woke, Go Broke,' It's 'Go Broke, Get Woke.'

Initially, I boycotted it, but years later I did try to watch it and I got like 15 minutes in and just gave up. It was just such a terrible movie that I can't really say whether I'm boycotting it or just not watching it because it was terrible.
Feig, I bought the Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection box that opens up like a ghost trap with green light and all from Sony pictures. It includes Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II and Afterlife 4k and blu-ray. Not even Sony had faith in putting Ghostbusters 2016. Maybe you should throw your ire at Sony too Paul.
So late on the comeback jab that the other guy left the ring and is at home with his wife and kids. I want to say "Who? They said what? Oh, I thought we were done with that." but no one would get the joke cause they really don't remember this movie.
Arguably if trump supporters tanked the movie shouldn’t the leftist and dems have been capable of making the movie a success? Also still haven’t seen it as my buddy (not a trump supporter) told me it was dog ass. Do better Hollywood!
Ernie Hudson was such a class act playing Winson. Someone said that Winson would never have slapped around his co-worker like that. And I responded with, even if he would, he never would have been so crass as to shout out "THE POWER OF WINSTON COMPELS YOU!"
I blame this movie for modern woke bulshit that ruined all our favorite movies and games… truly the worse thing in tv and gaming next to adverts and micro transactions
yup! me right here is one! the OG GB is my all time fav comedy, and it has competition from its own decade but it wins the number 1 place for me becuz of its lasting charm 😊
My husband said that the only entertainment he got out of the movie was counting how many times I barked "SHUT! UP!" at the TV. They simply could not get out of their own way and let the audience laugh. (Twenty-three, by the way.)
You're spot on about comedy. People are too busy looking to be offended by the smallest things, being funny isn't allowed anymore. Oscars slap case and point. If you're so serious that you can't laugh at yourself first then you don't belong trying to make others laugh. This dude should have made a movie about being bullied and running to the neighbor girls when he was a kid. Surely that is good for some laughs.
Pretending the movie wasn't a political statement is the very definition of gaslighting. (Literally the only reason the movie was made and it was thoroughly rejected by everyone 😹)
No it was rejected because it was poorly written. Feig didn’t understand the original and just did his version of it. The Ghostbusters was great because each one had a unique personality. The ladies were basically all the same.
@@josebrown5961 It was rejected for many reasons but the green light was given (by Sony) simply because "Female Ghostbusters" He "just did his version" because nobody in charge cared about anything other than "female Ghostbusters" U can have 50 women with different personalities and it's still not going to be funny or good and we all know why 2) Woman never particularly cared about Ghostbusters. They knew men liked it so they had to ruin it
@@PhibesUnique81 Ya this was at a time when feminists latched on to anything men liked. It started out as trolling but by this time they actually started believing their own nonsense lol
The really frustrating thing is in another world someone decided to run with the franchise line from the first film; they're a new branch in X city in Y area in Z country. Few cameos from the originals as CEOs of Ghostbusters Inc. or whatever and you're off to the races. Set up other branches, CSI style and you can even crossover.
@@PhibesUnique81 They 100% make these things ugly on purpose. I was never a big fan of Game of thrones but so obvious they ruined the ending on purpose. Star wars is best example of them doing this but Thrones is the most blatant example
The sad thing is Kristen Wiig CAN do comedy. The film's just badly directed and badly written. Nobody would be funny with a shit script and direction. And Paul Feig and all the journoids saying "muh misogynyyyy" just insults her and all women who ARE funny. And his sob story about running to the girls for comfort, and how he still behaves that way now, is in itself more misogynistic - he's expecting all the women to drop whatever they're doing and look after him.
I loved Kristen Wiig on SNL, back when it used to be funny. I still remember the emotional goodbye when she left the show. What a waste, went from making good sketch comedy to a couple crappy movies and now nothing, gg
Meanwhile all my wife and I did was stay home opening night and watched the original. No political reason, we just knew which one is the superior film.
I remember feeling bad about disregarding Female Ghostbusters, but I remember how in Lego Dimensions one of the Female Ghostbusters told Peter Venkman that his "costume" was pretending to be her and it "needed work." I stopped feeling bad about disregarding them.
Great comedy isn't supposed to be safe and inoffensive, George Carlin was one of the greatest comedians of the 20th century and he made his name with a highly offensive comedy routine about swear words.
A close friend of mine works in Hollywood as a video editor, and through her I've had an opportunity to meet a lot of Hollywood types (mostly crew, not so much actors). My overall impression was that Hollywood culture is so utterly divorced from reality or any sense of actual humanity that they really do believe their own nonsense. If anything, their wokeness is underplayed in movies and TV, the real-life Hollywoodsters are far more nuts than the fictional characters.
I'll be honest, I saw this in theaters because I grew up watching the original ghost busters movies. At no point during what is supposedly a comedy movie did I laugh, not even a sharp exhale. I have never been tempted to walk out of a movie until that point.
I didnt see Ghostbusters 2016 and then saw it years later on HBO and I still dont like the movie!! I prefer the Original Ghostbusters movie and Ghostbusters 2 over this crap!!
Ghostbusters 2016 is the movie that changed the entertainment industry forever because even after 8 years where stilling see the effects of it to this day in movies tv shows video games and others
Lemme tell ya, it's insufferable being told to 'git gud' by the Fromsoft fans when the games screw the player over by having their stat boosts get WORSE as they level up rather than improving as time goes on.
@@GH-ub7qz No no no, silly person, things only started to happen as soon as people notice them. It's like how the news media didn't start lying until the Obama Administration, or Star Trek didn't lean woke despite having a respect-my-pronouns episode in the 90's.
In stand up comedy punching down against someone specific as a joke is about the only bad thing if it's not going after hecklers. The only person that could ever do it was Don Rickles. And he could because you knew if he picked on you, it was a badge of honor that he made you part of the act. Also, people knowing he was a sweetheart of a guy off stage helped. Everything else is fair game and so is the critique of it.
There used to be a lot of comedians that roasted random audience members. And it was fine, people could take a joke. You got to laugh when he picked on the other people.
I got bullied pretty horribly as a kid, my response was to become too scary to ever mess with again. I honestly cannot comprehend the people who chose to prove their bullies correct instead.
One thing i agree with Paul, is the "people hates jokes" bit. Since internet became polular, the concept of "sitcom" kind of died. And especially in USA, people bacame hostile to even the most sucessful of them. Even this video proves that! With the laugh track rant.
I know people who worked on that film in Boston... ALL of them told me it was a horrible experience. It was a mess from the start. Paul Feig hasn't released a film theatrically since.. and it's because this one bombed so badly at the box office.
3:30 This is the main reason why I didn't support this film. Never put a movie trailer with a person who yells like this, and expect me to pay for a movie ticket to hear this person yell like that. If I had no way of knowing that that scene of her yelling existed in the film due to the trailer showing me I would have most likely watched this film 100%.
Ghostbusters 2016 was directed by Paul Feig, was poorly received by fans and he still hasn't recovered. No-one expects rants about leadership contests 8 years later, but it's clearly been on his mind. After 8 years he still hasn't learnt a single lesson of how to talk to the press, let alone the reasons for failure of a movie. The only thing he seems to be able to blame, is what he cared about personally at the time. And if he cared about it, SURELY you must have too, even if you're not in America and never even heard of 1 quote by 1 person. To go this long and still blame one guy for an INTERNATIONAL reaction, shows such a poor lack of introspection, you have to wonder does Hollywood even have good analysists for failure? But what do you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Dan Aykroyd “I liked the movie [director] Paul Feig made with those spectacular women,” he told People. “I was mad at them at the time because I was supposed to be a producer on there and I didn’t do my job and I didn’t argue about costs. And it cost perhaps more than it should, and they all do. All these movies do.
Dan Aykroyd “But boy, I liked that film. I thought that the villain at the end was great. I loved so much of it. And of course, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, you’re never going to do better than that. So I go on the record as saying I’m so proud to have been able to license that movie and have a hand and have a part in it, and I’m fully supportive of it, and I don’t besmirch it at all. I think it works really great amongst all the ones that have been made,” added Aykroyd.
@@magalopoliss Oof, Dan, that level of virtual signalling was over the top
What a Feig.
GB 2016 was abysmally written, directed in a sloppy slapdash manner and seemingly edited by an intern.
All of which puts Feig squarely in the crosshairs of blame for this shit show of a movie that led the vanguard of Hollywood Identity obsession that in turn has all but destroyed western popular culture.
If there is any justice the internet and it's denizens will relentlessly hound Feig for these actions until his dying day.
"Women tend to be less aggressive and toxic." That's a fantastic joke right there!
Which is freaking HILARIOUS. Us women have all been at "that" middle school sleepover.

Yes, they are more deceptive and conniving than that… ;D
Maybe less physically aggressive but certainly way more toxic. Women working together with any mutual respect only happens in fiction. The constant backstabbing is way more toxic.
As a woman: HA! Good lord, I can hardly fathom people genuinely believing that. Women can be just as aggressive and toxic as men. We may not be equally able or skilled in all areas, but we're all equally capable of being awful people.
Hi woman here! Us women can be just as aggressive and toxic as men.
The best thing about Ghostbusters 2016 is, it made the remaining original Actors and Makers so upset they created Ghostbusters Afterlife in response.

I'll always appreciate the female-led Ghostbusters for completely killing Leslie Jones' career. Thanks Paul
She never should have had a career in comedy. Her stand up was the most amateur night at the Apollo BS I've ever seen. All she did was rip off Katt Williams delivery with goofy concepts that went on for far too long. She has a ten minute bit about swinging from a shower rod because she wanted to be a gymnast and the punchline is she gets her ass whooped. So original.

A lot of the problem with Ghostbusters 2016 was that they treated it like a cheap comedy, with unfunny characters and unfunny jokes. I've never felt that Ghostbusters 1 & 2 weren't made as comedies, they just happen to start funny people.
I only watched it bc like everyone in that movie were my favorite actresses except one of them but they did them so dirty in that movie so it genuinely is the directors fault and everything cheap comedy unfunny everything so I completely agree I was very disappointed when I saw how bad the movie was when they had actresses that are actually good actresses that can be genuinely funny by themselves

Leslie Jones is not funny. She is just loud

@@mupty Who is just bitter. I looked up her IMDB, even though I knew a lot of the stuff she's been in. The vast majority of the stuff she has been in is "Meh". Maybe the "Meh" is not her fault as she was just one of many. But her series of "Tammy - this " and "Tammy - that" in 2014 is all her and IMDB numbers are pathetic. Her time on The Gilmore Girls is her highest average on IMDB for the show. She didn't carry it. Around 2016 I think she saw herself as the next big thing. Didn't happen.
She seems like she'd be funny in a group of friends, inter socially, but not as a performer.
They're called 'she-hams' and are endemic.
In fairness, MM's equally unfunny husband helped tank her career by cranking out a series of really bad screenplays which she apparently felt obligated to produce and star in.

There's comparisons side by side that show how the remake was subpar in relation to the original even in how much the scenes accomplished. The original can establish a lot of things in a single scene while the remake can't even make minimum plot progression with longer takes.

Everything wrong with modern entertainment started way before you noticed it. For just one example, Verhoeven's twisted, contemptuous take on Starship Troopers--and even then, the slide was in progress.
Oh dear - no. What's wrong with modern entertainment began long before this movie. It is, however, quite possibly the most shining example of this problem.

I wouldn't get annoyed but the Ghostbusters reboot was deliberately set up as a political statement. I remember them running the whole 'promoting women behind the camera stuff' and the fact that there were plans for an all female cast right from pre-production. It's the constant lying that I just can't stand.
You decided to make a woke film, you set it up as a woke film, you marketed as a woke film, you got EXACTLY what you asked for.
Paul claimed he didn't think it was a big deal. _Everybody else_ turned it into a political statement. - That's a straight-up lie, because like you said, he and they made it political from day one, and so everyone in the public engaged with it as it was presented.
In the end product, the least of my problems is really the all-female Ghostbusters. It could've been done so much better and fans could've even taken it. But instead we got this thing that claims not being sexist because apparently only men are capable of sexism... Which, well, Paul Feig clearly isn't an exception that rule. The GB-ATC was so sexist that I can't even wrap my head around it. But admittedly, back then I wasn't quite so aware or bugged by what these people were doing to movies.
Nothing beats Dan Aykroyd interview about Paul Feig costing Sony 40 million in reshoots. Can you imagine* spending $40 extra million on a already bad movie!?

The flak that James Rolfe got back then for saying that he didn't want to see it, not because they were all female Ghostbusters, but because it wasn't going to be the proper passing of the torch film that he thought the franchise deserved was one of the things that really opened my eyes to the ideological takeover that was going on. The Narrative was out and they ran with it that he was sexist etcetera.
even though i'm a fan of James, I thought that was a weak ass move. "No Review I refuse" was basically him being up his own ass. He didn't have to review it, but him saying he wasn't was along the lines of that Lebron James 'The Decision" stuff. Cool, you're not doing a review, doesn't need its own video. Even if he didn't think it was going to be a true passing, he should've reviewed it since its an IP that's cashing in on Nostalgia which is part of his branding.
Don't think he's sexist at all, but that wasn't the move. Then again Mike showing his cock to the masses wasn't the move either. So who knows what they do over there 😂
Even back then, the crazy cat ladies were sounding completely insane. For AVGN to say quite mildly "Nah, not for me" was too much for them.
He caved, though. Wussy.
Yea critism means you're a misogynist now. It's almost admirable if it wasn't so pathetic.
I remember that. And James has always been entirely apolitical! He had ZERO clue about the hornet’s nest that he kicked when he made that video.
But the beauty of it was that James’s video gave us a window into how the every day ghostbusters fan, unpoisoned by the political dialogue online saw the preview and felt it didn’t properly respect the source material.
Disney Star Wars made a similar mistake. They did try to “pass the torch”, a little bit, but they could have done so without deconstructing Luke and killing off all of the old beloved characters.

This is why I refuse to acknowledge the film.
It was just a marketing stunt to piss off as many fans as possible, and not a single fuck was given about the quality of the film on its own merits. It existed solely to insult fans enough to initiate hate watchers to see it.
So if in total Ghostbusters 2016 made $128,350,574 domestically... and taking that the average ticket prices at that time being $8.95 (round to $9 to make the math easier) That would mean in total that around 14,261,174 tickets were sold. Now with the total population of the USA at that time being 323,127,515. Assuming each ticket purchase is a different person. Only 14mil out of 323mil went to see the film which is 4%... 4% of the total US population could be bothered to watch your shit. That would also mean that 96% of the population, according to their logic, just hate women... and out of that 96% a large portion of those would be women. So what does the mass media have to say about that?
Exactly. I'm a woman and I wouldn't even pirate that movie.

Remember how they said it was "4 scientists" in the initial teaser? Yeah, as soon as we saw that we knew where this was going and said no, then you picked a fight with the entire internet and that never ends well.
The marketing did no favors for it too. Like when they put out a teaser that literally said "women are funny, get over it". They're just salty that they failed to win the populace over.
(shouting in the distance "we need more women in stem")
I actually watched Ghostbusters 2016 a couple of years ago thinking “it can’t be THAT bad”! It was. If you’ve never seen it, I cannot advise you strongly enough - do not waste your time!
Too late! I had HBO Max at the time and watched it as soon as it was available at home...
I did laugh when watching this but not at the jokes. It's possible to laugh at how bad and terrible the comedy is.
I saw it with 4 women in their 20's who work in entertainment, and after a few mai tai's, they loved it! That's exactly who the movie was made for.
Skipped it 2016 after I saw the poster.
only shallow women and Disparu can enjoy Ghirlbusters 2016
i actually didnt dislike this movie when i originally saw it but that was because i was like 14, so this movie was kinda my first exposure to " female lead slop " genre. this movie is actually one of the things that got me into ghost busters because i loved the idea behind ppl fighting ghosts so much. i kinda forgot how bad the movie would've been in a logical sense but i still liked it
I like it as much as any cartoon I didn't want to see.
Oh look, Hollywood is still stuck in 2016's TDS and Disparu's dropped a new video about it. Finally some good entertainment, if only Hollyweird could deliver that themselves.🍿
After all those years of being bullied, he still seemingly never learned humility or developed the ability to reflect on himself. Sounds like a great guy 😒
Isn’t it more accurate to say that when asked about a movie he made that got him attacked for almost a decade he might be angry with those still misconstruing his words?
He is a real UK Cigarette.
I was a loner in Highschool, but one of the few groups I found solace in was a lunch table of BIack girls that adored me (and would've likely b£aten any bully if I asked them, but I usually dealt with it myself without vioIen¢e). I was a senior when the trailers were out and we were talking about them... Spoiler Alert: we were trashing it because it looked bad.
My point being, the insecure manlet of a Director saying he was bullied in school and ran to girls for protection as an excuse for how the movie turned out doesn't work with me. Of course, it didn't work on anyone else either.
I still can't believe we're in 2024 and we're having to explain what jokes are. What are they teaching in schools nowadays?!

Show biz has had a saying for a long time . “The audience is always right.” If they don’t like your movie then it’s not them. it’s the movie. People used to understand that they had to make products people wanted to see not what they wanted people to see.
@Disparu & all, the funny thing about this is: When my female friends & I first heard about this film circa 2014-15 or whatever, we were actually some of those people who not only were okay with the gender swaps, we were actually looking forward to it. For context, like most people back then, we were left-leaning moderate centrists (thank God we never caught the TDS a couple of years later), but that wasn't the reason we were interested. Our thought process was simply a very sensible AND fair, "Hey, why not? Ghostbusters is a great property, the cast and crew have a good record in comedy, so let's give 'em a chance. It could actually be fun." So yes, we WERE that no-gatekeeping Modern Audience they're STILL looking for today. When 2016 finally came around, on the first opening weekend, I even brought along my mom & my grandma with us to see it. I can't remember the exact details because I haven't seen the flick since then, but I do remember this VIVIDLY: During the opening credits/scenes with Wiig, we were actually smiling and even quietly giggling because of the hype we've built up in our heads, but folks, I $#!+ you not, after they revealed the opening ghost (a la the OG), we (& the other audience) never again smiled or laughed until the end credits rolled, and we left the theatre to have a quiet, late dinner. To this day, some people think I'm joking or exaggerating about this tale, EXCEPT for the eight of us, and the other moviegoers in that cinema, that evening. People don't need socio-politics to know if something's bad. Either it is or it isn't, and it just was.
The people behind 2016 movie had to beg in order to be part of the Ghostbusters collector's edition. The movies wasn't a physical copy but a digital download code. I'm sure it's easy enough to see how many people actually used said code to get the movie
Oh damn, I forgot all about that! HAHAHA!
I have the original Ghostbusters on DVD, you'd have to pay me to accept a physical copy of the 2016 film.
@@Adelina-293Me too.
I ended up getting the three pack physical box
Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and Ghostbusters Afterlife.
There never was another Ghostbusters in 2016
Poorly written, garbage is why films bomb. Fans would actually like something funny and entertaining. This was DEI woke garbage.
I saw it in the theater, and I am not proud. But I feel that because I paid my money I can say it sucked.
I can also say why. The writers were the problem. Those ladies can be funny, they were not the problem.
Let someone who understands the original write for those four characters and it could be a hit.
The movie was barely written in general. Half the jokes are just ad-libbing and improv that goes on for way too long.
The Funny thing is that it sucked SO Bad they couldn't even make a Game based on it. You play as a Group of Ghostbusters from a Canned Cartoon
But then, fan-disservice was always the overarching goal. Why do you think the put Fieg in charge of this? Every layer of ineptitude better guarantees audience alienation.
What's sad is that I only understand it today.
As a kid I had mostly female friends, I was also raised predominantly by women. And much like this director, most of the male influence in my life was also toxic. But here's the plot twist, I had to understand that not every man was a horrible person or dribbling idiot much like the clowns I ran into.
My mother had to teach me this as did my peers who were as I said, mostly women. These great people in my life taught me how to be a gentleman and respect everyone the same way I wish to be treated. Because if I don't do that I'll just be stoking the flame instead of putting it out. But unfortunately, not everyone had stable people in their lives to teach them that fueling the fire solves nothing.
Sincerest apologies for the long rant. I grow tired of seeing these theas "artist" complain about a specific gender, and think their work that does nothing but bash the opposite side is the solution. When all it does is feed it like the fat hungry demon it is.
Racism and misandry are kissing cousins.
Never apologize for speaking the truth, sir.
I've said it before. It should have had a story of how Kristen Wiig's character was trying to step out of Egon's scientific shadow and eventually learns to embrace her heritage and becomes a success. And with family lineage of Ghostbusters afterlife it would have worked perfectly fit with the storyline and allowed both sisters to have their own versions of embracing their family heritage.
It's wild to me how directors think they are actually important, but the majority of the audience doesn't give a shit about who is behind the scenes. They only care about who is on screen, and even then most people probably don't even care enough about the actors to know their real names. It's a false sense of grandeur that, in most cases, isn't even earned.
@sebastianbelcher5354 you aren’t as clever as you think you are. Trolling isn’t that difficult
Horrible take
I remember Ghostbusters 2016 as the first fullblown woke movie. At that time I figured it would bomb and the studios would give us good movies again within a year or two. Boy was I wrong.
Black Annie had them beat by a couple of years.
It was indeed the first fully woke movie. And the first one where the makers and all involved lashed out at the very audience who might have seen it, then lashed out at them again when they did not turn up. Totally missing the fact that the film was utter crap. The irony is as you say they continued to make crap woke films and tv shows, and not a single one of them has taken money or been a huge hit with an audience. The Marvels, Ms Marvel, Indy 5, Willow, Flash, Birds of Prey, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Little Mermaid, Terminator Dark Fate, Terminator Genisys, Echo, Secret Wars, Acolyte and so on the list goes on and on, and nothing made bank and cost mega millions to make...
Nope. What actually happened is Hollowood took a bath on this and other movies like it and that, along with the lckdwns, forced them to take the DEI checks to stay afloat. It's not 'Get Woke, Go Broke,' It's 'Go Broke, Get Woke.'
@@Simon-xc5oy I'm still angry about Dr. Who. But at least that came first, that anger, before Rings of Power. I will never watch RoP. I already suffer from severe depression and am not that much of a masochist. And I will only watch bits and pieces of clips of the new Dr. Who because channels like this take that pain for me.
@@limlaithyup them ruining dr who really pisses me off . I stopped really watching after the 12th doctor . Turning him into a woman just because ,and then retconning the doctor was actually first a black child is just craziness
Paul’s just angry at his utter failure. The movie was embarrassingly awful and if it was me I’d just want people to forget.
Initially, I boycotted it, but years later I did try to watch it and I got like 15 minutes in and just gave up. It was just such a terrible movie that I can't really say whether I'm boycotting it or just not watching it because it was terrible.
Feig, I bought the Ghostbusters Ultimate Collection box that opens up like a ghost trap with green light and all from Sony pictures. It includes Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II and Afterlife 4k and blu-ray. Not even Sony had faith in putting Ghostbusters 2016. Maybe you should throw your ire at Sony too Paul.
Adding his Movie would have Quadrupled the Price and Halved the Sales
Ha.
Afterlife and 2016 are very similar is sh1t but I'll give the win to the 2016 that's complete sh1t.
They did include a code to download a digital copy of the girl Ghostbusters movie.
He did whine about it, so they added a code to get a digital copy of the movie.........I wonder how many people actually used the code???
So late on the comeback jab that the other guy left the ring and is at home with his wife and kids. I want to say "Who? They said what? Oh, I thought we were done with that." but no one would get the joke cause they really don't remember this movie.
Paul F just needs to smile more. He forgets that us women hated his Ghostbusters too.
Arguably if trump supporters tanked the movie shouldn’t the leftist and dems have been capable of making the movie a success? Also still haven’t seen it as my buddy (not a trump supporter) told me it was dog ass. Do better Hollywood!
if T supporters tanked the movie, there are a lot more T supporters than previously thought
I'm a woman and I voted for Hillary in 2016 and even I didn't go to see that movie. I liked the original, and this one just looked stupid.
Yeah, both sides thought it was shit, no doubt.
Also, how do they explain the movie flopping overseas?

Ernie Hudson was such a class act playing Winson.

I blame this movie for modern woke bulshit that ruined all our favorite movies and games… truly the worse thing in tv and gaming next to adverts and micro transactions
At this point, seeing as the director hasn't changed his name to "Step on me Mommy," it's just false advertising.
Even women hated that ghost busters
yup! me right here is one!
the OG GB is my all time fav comedy, and it has competition from its own decade but it wins the number 1 place for me becuz of its lasting charm 😊
Exactly, I saw the trailer and it looked so stupid, I never went to see the movie. I wouldn't even watch it free, it's not worth the time.
I tried watching the movie with alcohol. It didn't help...
I didn't
My husband said that the only entertainment he got out of the movie was counting how many times I barked "SHUT! UP!" at the TV. They simply could not get out of their own way and let the audience laugh.
(Twenty-three, by the way.)
You're spot on about comedy. People are too busy looking to be offended by the smallest things, being funny isn't allowed anymore. Oscars slap case and point. If you're so serious that you can't laugh at yourself first then you don't belong trying to make others laugh.
This dude should have made a movie about being bullied and running to the neighbor girls when he was a kid. Surely that is good for some laughs.
There’s no problem having a gender swapped GhostBuster, just make it good, thats it
Pretending the movie wasn't a political statement is the very definition of gaslighting. (Literally the only reason the movie was made and it was thoroughly rejected by everyone 😹)
No it was rejected because it was poorly written. Feig didn’t understand the original and just did his version of it.
The Ghostbusters was great because each one had a unique personality. The ladies were basically all the same.
@@josebrown5961 It was rejected for many reasons but the green light was given (by Sony) simply because "Female Ghostbusters"
He "just did his version" because nobody in charge cared about anything other than "female Ghostbusters"
U can have 50 women with different personalities and it's still not going to be funny or good and we all know why
2) Woman never particularly cared about Ghostbusters. They knew men liked it so they had to ruin it
@@PhibesUnique81 Ya this was at a time when feminists latched on to anything men liked. It started out as trolling but by this time they actually started believing their own nonsense lol
The really frustrating thing is in another world someone decided to run with the franchise line from the first film; they're a new branch in X city in Y area in Z country. Few cameos from the originals as CEOs of Ghostbusters Inc. or whatever and you're off to the races. Set up other branches, CSI style and you can even crossover.
@@PhibesUnique81 They 100% make these things ugly on purpose.
I was never a big fan of Game of thrones but so obvious they ruined the ending on purpose.
Star wars is best example of them doing this but Thrones is the most blatant example
"I'm Paul Feig and I'm a pansy" should've just said that in the interview would've had a shred of honesty behind it.
My grandmother always told me: "No matter what they teach you in school, GilgaDaddy rizzed up the Ghostbusters".
"...What?"
Insert Galadriel "Ohhh!" noise here.
I remember when gilgadaddy and my mother were in the amazon researching ghostbusters right before she died.

«Where you learned the art of misogyny?» - «I spent 30 years in the academy of toxic masculinity».
Eight years...! Doesn't time fly when you're not watching crap movies?
The sad thing is Kristen Wiig CAN do comedy. The film's just badly directed and badly written. Nobody would be funny with a shit script and direction. And Paul Feig and all the journoids saying "muh misogynyyyy" just insults her and all women who ARE funny.
And his sob story about running to the girls for comfort, and how he still behaves that way now, is in itself more misogynistic - he's expecting all the women to drop whatever they're doing and look after him.
I loved Kristen Wiig on SNL, back when it used to be funny. I still remember the emotional goodbye when she left the show. What a waste, went from making good sketch comedy to a couple crappy movies and now nothing, gg
Bad works are a disservice to the talent and potential they squander.
Meanwhile all my wife and I did was stay home opening night and watched the original. No political reason, we just knew which one is the superior film.
Yeeeeaaaahhhh. That really makes me want to watch a movie that never should have been made.
I remember feeling bad about disregarding Female Ghostbusters, but I remember how in Lego Dimensions one of the Female Ghostbusters told Peter Venkman that his "costume" was pretending to be her and it "needed work."
I stopped feeling bad about disregarding them.
As a huge GB fan from the 80s, I had no problem with a female led GB movie. The problem was it was utter trash.
Exactly.
Great comedy isn't supposed to be safe and inoffensive, George Carlin was one of the greatest comedians of the 20th century and he made his name with a highly offensive comedy routine about swear words.
Maybe for Americans, but American stand up, doesn't travel well. Why do they all speak in the same way?
Great comedy CAN be inoffensive. It just takes a lot more talent and intelligence to achieve it.
Disparu, just adopt my rule. If he's male, supposedly grown, but you're certain his T levels are lower than your 11yo nephew...fodder. He is fodder.
Bantha poodoo
I'm adopting your rule.
And thus, not the real problem, mostly a diversion.
A close friend of mine works in Hollywood as a video editor, and through her I've had an opportunity to meet a lot of Hollywood types (mostly crew, not so much actors). My overall impression was that Hollywood culture is so utterly divorced from reality or any sense of actual humanity that they really do believe their own nonsense. If anything, their wokeness is underplayed in movies and TV, the real-life Hollywoodsters are far more nuts than the fictional characters.
I'll be honest, I saw this in theaters because I grew up watching the original ghost busters movies. At no point during what is supposedly a comedy movie did I laugh, not even a sharp exhale. I have never been tempted to walk out of a movie until that point.
I didnt see Ghostbusters 2016 and then saw it years later on HBO and I still dont like the movie!! I prefer the Original Ghostbusters movie and Ghostbusters 2 over this crap!!
The game was a great part 3.
Ghostbusters 2 is under-rated
Are you saying that after 8 years he still has not gotten over it?
Narcissistic injury never heals.
Ghostbusters 2016 is the movie that changed the entertainment industry forever because even after 8 years where stilling see the effects of it to this day in movies tv shows video games and others
Lemme tell ya, it's insufferable being told to 'git gud' by the Fromsoft fans when the games screw the player over by having their stat boosts get WORSE as they level up rather than improving as time goes on.

I literally walked out of the theater mid-film when I made a mistake of purchasing a ticket to this horror all those years ago.
In stand up comedy punching down against someone specific as a joke is about the only bad thing if it's not going after hecklers. The only person that could ever do it was Don Rickles. And he could because you knew if he picked on you, it was a badge of honor that he made you part of the act. Also, people knowing he was a sweetheart of a guy off stage helped.
Everything else is fair game and so is the critique of it.
There used to be a lot of comedians that roasted random audience members. And it was fine, people could take a joke. You got to laugh when he picked on the other people.

I got bullied pretty horribly as a kid, my response was to become too scary to ever mess with again. I honestly cannot comprehend the people who chose to prove their bullies correct instead.
One thing i agree with Paul, is the "people hates jokes" bit. Since internet became polular, the concept of "sitcom" kind of died. And especially in USA, people bacame hostile to even the most sucessful of them. Even this video proves that! With the laugh track rant.
My grandmother always told me " no matter what they teach you in school, Donald Trump's rich because he lives rent free in so many heads ".
Lol
I know people who worked on that film in Boston... ALL of them told me it was a horrible experience. It was a mess from the start. Paul Feig hasn't released a film theatrically since.. and it's because this one bombed so badly at the box office.
Things unlikely to surprise me:
1. The sun will rise tomorrow
2. CNN will attack Donald Trump
3. This writer is as bullied in school
Imagine making a shit product as a soulless cashgrab then getting pissy when no on likes it.
3:30 This is the main reason why I didn't support this film. Never put a movie trailer with a person who yells like this, and expect me to pay for a movie ticket to hear this person yell like that. If I had no way of knowing that that scene of her yelling existed in the film due to the trailer showing me I would have most likely watched this film 100%.
