THIS is what I am afraid of... an atack like Reitman is trying to ERASE women.
looking back at the quotes?
I wish the young man hadn't even commented on it...
cause the quote is actually innocent but it can EASILY be twisted up
I can't HONESTLY comment on the movie I kinda forgot about it
I can't remember a bit or a joke barely the premise
again no shade on the movie but I just don't and that's a LITTLE BIT odd.
I would rewatch it JUST to give it a FAIR assessment
all I remember is I did NOT like that the black woman worked for sanitation and was not a doctor.
One of the white female leads could have EASILY been a "regular" person like Leslie tried to defend it.
And it seems there are some strong women in this cast also...
I wish him well
and maybe you never know
that young man seems smart enough to somehow someway include that 2016 flick
THE RIGHT WAY
Would you be surprised?
^^^^^
PERIOD
and this is without even seeing the FINAL product
I think that is ALL long time fans ask for
respect for the original
@playahaitian not that I wont watch it but the original is a classic and it didnt have kids.
but this is NOT the original
this is a CONTINUATION it makes sense we showing the KIDS.
Much like the fans who saw the original in theaters and on VHS KIDS make sense
this is some legacy.
OK let me ask cause at the CORE no matter what form
you a WRITER
how you gonna do this with NO kids?
I would have to think about it but its possible
I would have their grown kids in it not young ones.
Maybe just Egon's son to fill his spot.
It just seems like young kids always doing the most impossible shit.
Case in point recently: Godzilla v Kong
you really aint JUST wrote this bro?
So you never saw Goonies, ET, Lost Boys, Stand By Me, Home Alone, Jurassic Park....
you do NOT want me to keep going right?
Bro that was the most absurd piece of sh*t ever
ENJOYABLE AS HELL
but come one NOTHING in that movie made sense.
Those are the good examples and arguably all time classics and most of those are from 80s/90s and the plot revolved around kids.
What are some good ones from the 2000s?
I'm just saying they dont need to always put kids in shit especially since Ghostbusters didn't have them in it and it was great and kids still watched it and loved it.
when you dealing with SPECIFIC IP like this you not doing this for the ART you doing this for MONEY
well you doing EVERYTHING for money
but let me digress
IP like THIS though
the goal is to hit the old heads and THEIR KIDS
their KIDS are not sitting thru a movie without some bridge some connection to THEM.
The studio trying to get the ADULTS to watch it WITH their kids
OVER and OVER
and buy all the merchandise
If you completely alienate kids you aint winning
the older kids you talking about are assholes right now.
They are snarky and fickle and will send out dozens of tweets destroying a movie BEFORE it even comes out
and without EVER seeing anything besides the 30 second clips or a 1 hour youtube review.
Kids watched space jam NOT because of Michael Jordan
They watched it with their parents
and loved watching a KID that LOOKED like them and was into the sesame things on screen
the nostalgia was for us.
That's their target audience kids and teens(Merchandise) the classic shit is for OGs to have interest
I'll catch it on Netflix....... in December

I wonder if we are sacrificing the art for kids.
The more I think about it its probably just shitty writing and not the inclusion of kids.
T2 is another classic that had a kid.
WTF just happened?
did you just ARGUE YOURSELF OUT OF IT?
you working on a new track where you battle yourself?!?!
I mean to be honest.... outside of the OG versions .... Has any godzilla or King Kong movie really made sense
I probably one of the few that liked 1998 Godzilla ... which is crazy... but yeah..
Godzilla has never been Shakespeare but 98 tho?!
Of course
It doesn't need to I don't expect to
So anything done there to me is just fuller between fights
But ONE DAY a good writer will take that premise and craft a masterpiece
I bet anything Harry Knowles is getting clowned in that twitter battle,since he among the very few who liked the 2016 film
Ghostbusters I wanted he-man… he-man, he-man, he-man
Most funny disrespectful line in ghostbusters 2 I lmaoooo
I really really want this to do numbers cause I would give anything for Netflix to step up to Sony and say hey... Let’s make a sequel series to the Real Ghostbusters with 89% less Silmer
I had idea for this as a kid. That I ain't sharing on here. I feel like they could use the comics as a guide.
