Here's some funny: it's mostly the female movie critics giving GHST3 the positive reviews. How political is that??

And if Paul Feig or Sony wanted a female-led reboot...did they really have to pick a grungy/gritty, '80s sci-fi/horror genre mash-up exclusively enjoyed by frat bros, fanboys, trolls and the male nostalgia engine? With the who's who of '80s bro humor, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis (RIP) and Ernie Hudson, plus a seductive Sigourney Weaver, an adorable Annie Potts, and a silly Rick Moranis? With special effects, action, gross-out moments.....

I'm serious, stop me any time this is beginning to sound like a chick's movie. It never, ever, ever had women as part of the audience--SO WHO THE HELL ARE THEY MAKING THIS REBOOT FOR? Reboots are made for brandname value! They're taking a brandname and ripping it from the people who originally gave it value: THE DUDES!

It's like selling Disney exclusively for adults! Or Tyler Perry movies for Asians! Or superhero movies to the Twilight crowd! It's paradoxical, always misguided, and has never been okay with me.

I hope the female 2016 "Ghostbusters" flops like nothing else ever has. Worldwide gross: $1.00. That's what they deserve for what they've done to the brandname that can't be salvaged now--at least for another 5 years to wash the effeminate, anti-masculine taste of the 2016 "Ghostbusters" out of our mouths.

Really, in Paul Feig's world, are all men gay, or does he just not consider the heterosexual male's perspective in his worldview at all? It felt purposefully exclusionary towards my audience's demographic, interests, and tastes.

Look at the disconnect between what GHST3 stock traders and GHST3 Derivatives traders are expecting for OW. Now that's a true arb {nm} tomcat90 Jul 13, 18:51

How is that a true arb? If anything, to me that speaks to how difficult this one is to predict. {nm} Hersheybar Jul 13, 19:06

arb in the wall street sense, not how it is mis-used on HSX. You could lock in over $600k (after comm.) risk free {nm} tomcat90 Jul 13, 19:14

The same thing happened for IDAY2. Great for arb or synthetic short @ FILM.OW * 2.7 {nm} stormgod Jul 13, 20:56

I think Paul Feig should do Animal House next, right? {nm} Catzan Jul 13, 23:37

Yeah! And what about "Porky's?" Or "Caddyshack?" Or "Stripes?" Or "Revenge of the Nerds?" Or "Weird Science?" Paul Feig = salivating. chosenone2oo5 Jul 14, 00:46

Neighbors 2 Sorority Rising kinda covered "Animal House that was at 120 too delisted at 53..... {nm} Baron_Darcon Jul 14, 02:19

PINK2 - Duh! {nm} dukeness Jul 14, 10:13

No, "Pretty in Pink" is a John Hughes chick flick--Feig is too easy a pick for that. We were picking '80s dude movies. Keep up. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 14, 11:27

dukeness is joking. Keep up. {nm} RogerMore Jul 14, 11:58

Not all of those were dudes movies. I'm female and loved Caddyshack, Stripes, and Revenge of the Nerds! {nm} JDolphin Jul 14, 12:20

Right - funny. If you actually do some quantification... click999 Jul 14, 07:34

Doesn't matter. Ghostbusters is for dudes, man! No girls allowed! {nm} stevie1der328 Jul 14, 08:31

It's not the fact that they cast women that's the problem TwoMisfits Jul 14, 08:54

+1, I welcome the opinion! Here's a fresh perspective, forum! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Jul 14, 11:26
