    Again, having seen the movie, I can say that there is simply nothing like what you're describing in the movie.

    Having seen the film, I can say with 100% certainty that the sexuality of McKinnon's character was not addressed in the film.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I strongly disagree with this assessment of the film. I'm a male, and I don't feel that I was demeaned, ridiculed or insulted at any point during the movie. I agree with Johnny's assessment that it wasn't as funny as it should have been, but I do not feel that the movie was in any way an...

    She has second billing? That would be strange if that's the case - I just remember Damon's name on top of the poster but not the other names. I guess either she had a better agent than the other guys, or the studio figured her name would maybe attract people who otherwise normally wouldn't go...

    And yet, in theory, it shouldn't be that expensive. McCarthy I imagine would get a star salary, but Wiig hasn't really led many movies since Bridesmaids (she's been fantastic in smaller parts in movies like The Martian, it's not a shot against her, just that she hasn't been making yearly hits...

    Earlier in some locations, because Star Trek is showing at marathon screenings in some IMAX theaters on Wednesday, and then opening on Thursday - so Tuesday will be the last day for a number of locations.

    Tentative plans to see it tomorrow night - if I don't end up seeing it right away, it won't be lack of enthusiasm but rather an extra busy day at work.

    The embargo must be lifted or was never a thing to begin with - the NY Times published their review today. (I didn't read it since I'm planning on seeing the movie and do not read reviews before doing so.)

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Yeah, I'm simply not interested in video reviews, especially amateur ones. I enjoy a well-written review or a productive thread on a discussion board, but I don't need to watch someone talking about a movie. It just doesn't appeal to me in any way. I'll go a step further and say that I don't...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    That's ultimately what I'm expecting out of this movie. If it was the worst thing that had ever been made, that would be getting its own kind of press and audience. If it was the best thing ever, that'd be great because who doesn't love a new best thing ever. But mediocre is a bad place to...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    The only thing I don't like about trailers from that era is that they really had no problems with giving away the entire movie. I know trailers from today get a bad rap for doing it, but there was a period from at least the 50s-70s where the trailers would routinely feature the ending. The...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I agree. This new movie is happening precisely because a Ghostbusters 3 was not going to happen. If the original cast had interest in returning (specifically, Murray) it would have happened already. This new movie is Sony's acknowledgment that it was a dormant property. As much as I'd love to...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Sounds similar to what happened with Star Trek Beyond - the people cutting the trailers are working against, instead of with, the filmmakers. The STB crew has said the trailer isn't representative of their film. Really hoping for the same here.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    Travis and Colin, since we're pretty likeminded about this, I'm very curious to see if we all have the same reaction to the movie when it comes out. Don't underestimate Kate McKinnon either - it's her first movie and the trailers show almost nothing of her, but she has practically unlimited...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    In the original movie, I found it believable that they were scientists, especially Harold Ramis, and I believed that all of their stuff worked, and that they themselves came up with it. The trailer for the new movie feels more like sketch comedy, and I can see actors and situations but not a...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    That's unfortunate if true. I have no issue whatsoever with there being female Ghostbusters. I just don't want a crappy Ghostbusters movie. I will see this one and hope it's better than the trailer appears. The trailer is cut in such a way that it makes it seem like an SNL movie. My hope is that...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I finally saw the trailer. Didn't hate it, didn't love it, actually it didn't really provoke any sort of reaction from me. The trailer feels like an SNL movie. By that, I mean like one of the Lorne Michaels produced movies where it always feels like a giant skit as opposed to credible...
