Strong female characters in action movies are not the problem. Hell, the quintessential action-horror movie had pretty much a single hero character and that character was female: Alien.
If they made a remake of Alien with a male lead, do you think men would be storming the review sites to complain about the trailer? Do you think there would be any remake of any movie ever that would somehow make women band together and try to sabotage review sites?
Please tell me what redeeming feature you see in this movie. Please do.
None whatever. But it does not affect my past one little bit. My childhood is still my childhood.
I'm not about to mount a campaign of negative reviews because Daniel Craig plays James Bond instead of Sean Connery. If they made a new X-Files with a black, gay couple, it would not make me want to blow up the world.
There are a lot of shitty movies out there, and a lot of shitty trailers. There's a reason that Ghostbusters has gotten the manbabies upset, and it's because women are suddenly in the clubhouse as something besides delivery systems for tiddies.
Again not familiar with MRA's weighing in on popular movies, Return of kings did though and you should rightfully ignore them, they embarrass everyone including MRA's so please do not conflate the two.
I didn't realize that Return of Kings was not a true scotsman. Thank you for your expert clarification.
Remaking such a movie means that you tinker with the childhood of many people.
No, it doesn't. Because those people are grown now and their childhoods have passed and if somebody remaking a movie they liked as a kid somehow threatens their gestalt, then there's a problem that has nothing to do with movies.
Please, what are we talking about here? Your "childhood" really hinges so much on a tv show that you would create a host of sockpuppets and carpet bomb a review site with negative reviews even though you haven't seen the remake and don't plan on seeing the remake?
If you're a shitty person, and want to do shitty things for shitty reasons ("they put gurls in my childhood TV show!"), then you don't get to use that excuse.
Gamergate as said by another was corruption in game reviews.
Nah. It started because some cuck was upset that his girlfriend liked someone else better and it set off a collective howl of protest from a group of young men who've never touched a woman.
In August 2014, Eron Gjoni, Quinn's former boyfriend, published the "Zoe Post", a 9,425-word blog post that quoted from personal chat logs, emails, and text messages to describe their relationship. The post, described as "a rambling online essay" in The New York Times,[7] complained, among other things, that Quinn entered a romantic relationship with Nathan Grayson, a journalist for the Gawker Media video game website Kotaku.[8][9][10] According to Zachary Jason of Boston magazine, Gjoni deliberately crafted the post to resonate with members of the gaming community he "knew were passionately predisposed to attacking women in the industry".[11] The post was linked on 4chan, where some erroneously claimed the relationship had induced Grayson to publish a favorable review of Depression Quest. Grayson had never reviewed Quinn's games and Grayson's only article for Kotaku mentioning her was published before their relationship began.[12][13][14][15]
But that's ancient history. The GamerGate movement ended over a year ago, and its membership has been scattered to MRA websites and the Donald Trump campaign.
Go on, Mr internet tough-guy - tell us about how those MRAs are hurting your precious feels.
Every so often, I spend a little of my seemingly endless karma so I can allow the whiny ass titty-baby MRAs and gamergaters to provide proof of my opinion of them because I feel the response is instructive as to their nature.
It never fails. Make an assertion about the shittiness of these groups and their own reactions will inevitably confirm those assertions.
But the reboot of Ghostbusters is a bust. If that trailer represents anything the movie will be it's going to be a train wreck from back to back. Not because of the women or despite of the women but because the effects are stale, the acting is wooden and the only black character is a racist stereotype from hell.
It's not funny, it's not witty, the characters are stale and one dimensional (and the wrong formula on the blackboard is just the icing on the cake), one really has to wonder whether they deliberately made the movie bad so there would at least be some controversy around it and some people would go see it to spite the others.
That's also a way to get people into the cinema, by tricking them into thinking they "make a point", but somehow I'd say that's not how it should be done.
My guess is that a terrible trailer would induce you not to see a movie. It almost certainly would not incite you to go to review sites and leave horrible reviews about the movie itself using sockpuppet accounts.
Because you're a functioning human being, not a waifu-having, pee-pee dancing gerbilfucker.
Me, I didn't like the original Ghostbusters, so I give a fuck, but jaysus, I hate it when these crybaby MRAs leave a blot on the image of everyone with a dick.
The fact these "guys" reviewed sex in the city at all ills me they were likely to "Snap in a Z formation" and say they "Hated it!" because there were girls and not guys in it..
The operative word here is "If", because unlike the pitiful shitstains who are planning the massive boycott of MGTOWs, you'll see the fucking movie before deciding whether or not you like it.
And by the way, it's the same crying manbabies who held the massive boycott of Star Wars, which led to it becoming the biggest money maker of all time.
Geez, what kind of monster doesn't enjoy watching Teletubbies? You get behind a little endo and a few cocktails and Teletubbies is as engrossing as anything on HBO.
Slashdot Mirror
More of that Microsoft SJW misandry.
First, they came for the terrorists...
:Are you a James Bond supervillain?
Brother! Where you been? Slashdot's not the same without you.
If I ran a next-gen Apple Store, I would have this video projected on an endless loop.

Not all of you. Not yet.
Well that's what I originally thought, but then the other guy said H1Bs make the same money.
I don't know.
Well, at least this means there won't be a shortage of ACs posting on Slashdot.
Then the only other possibility is that they do a better job.
Bite your tongue.
Welcome to the meritocracy, where people who will work for less have more merit.

Brad. I've encountered a rash of accented phone support guys named Brad.

Just because they're few doesn't mean they don't deserve our ridicule and condemnation.
No, it doesn't. Because those people are grown now and their childhoods have passed and if somebody remaking a movie they liked as a kid somehow threatens their gestalt, then there's a problem that has nothing to do with movies.

Entourage is Sex in the City for men.
The prosecution rests.
