It's not the fact that they cast women that's the problem
It's the crappy execution of the previews, and if you believe Roeper (and I do), the crappy execution of the entire new movie that's the problem.
But, for the record, as a female member of society, I've watched and enjoyed every one of the "bro" movies you listed (in fact, Ghostbusters 1 I just showed to my own kids, boys and girls, 6 months ago again and I still loved the movie and they did, too - the comedy holds up well). Nothing about Ghostbusters says you had to be a guy or a "bro" to like it - it was a well done 80s comedy movie, just like many of the ones you listed and it had many female fans (I mean, no movie would be a classic if it didn't hit the 4 quadrants)...Nothing said they had to make a movie for a single quadrant (in fact, that would be pretty ill-advised) - they just needed to make a good movie that catered to all of their previous fans and tried to bring in new ones. Tying the movies together would have been the easiest (and likely best) way to do it (ala Star7), but there were other ways, and none of those ways included casting all male leads.
See, I'm now wading into the "stupid" on the other side today - I think I agree with whoever posted that they can't wait for this movie to just release and be done with. Perspective seems to be so lost by people on all sides when you can't just say "I loved the new movie" or "This movie sucks" without having the weight of 50% of the population either calling you an SJW or a mysogenistic hater.
I mean, no one jumps on me for saying A League of Their Own was awesome or Moulin Rouge sucked...or The Expendables was great but Dumb and Dumber sucked...why does this movie have to be any different? Yes, I know the movie brought some (note the word some, not all) of it on itself with its own publicity campaign and supporters, but c'mon, we're better than that here...
How is that a true arb? If anything, to me that speaks to how difficult this one is to predict. {nm} 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} Jul 13, 19:14
The same thing happened for IDAY2. Great for arb or synthetic short @ FILM.OW * 2.7 {nm} Jul 13, 20:56
Here's some funny: it's mostly the female movie critics giving GHST3 the positive reviews. How political is that?? Jul 13, 23:16
I think Paul Feig should do Animal House next, right? {nm} Jul 13, 23:37
