And crack probably, so five things.

IIRC Clooney dropped out after some rewrites to the original script he signed on for, so the problems probably began before Smith replaced him.

I'm hoping tomorrow's headline is "Warner Bros fires coked-up exec who greenlit Max Landis Pepe Le Pew Movie"

A lot of it's hype backlash. Something gets built up that much, it's too easy for mild disappointment to become overwrought "THIS SUCKS!". We've all been victim to it. I think the original Ghostbusters is a classic, not a masterpiece, and there is a difference - remaking a very good 80's comedy is one thing, remaking…

My own rule with Real Ghostbusters: If it doesn't involve J Michael Straczynski, forget it.

Redneck Hipster, this fall on CMT.

Needs to be part of a Cinematic Universe, though. Ooh, I got it - post-credits scene with Bruce Willis at his phoning-it-in-iest as Mr. Brown, looking through a set of encyclopedias as he tells them about the Sleuth Initiative.

There was also the back-up that introduced the second group of X-Babies, where Mojo demands the X-staff to explain themselves , Claremont chews him out, and gets his head zapped back to baby-size for it.

I think X-Men had them being government created weapons (think this was before Ultimate-verse did that) and Spider-Man was a…

Auntie ABC sent their jack-booted thugs to shut him up.

I gave up on io9 after they caved into the pissy little babies who killed Bricken's FanFic Friday. Because heaven forbid someone who writes detailed rape-fics about warrior pandas in Warcraft be offended.

Christ, what an asshole.

It's no "Christ, what an asshole!"

Yeah, this kind of talk is how we end up with stuff like Batman v Superman.

Probably shouldn't, either, at least without the proper drugs.

Same case for me with Cracker's "Teen Angst" for the original Buffy movie.

(holds back a sob) Even his 404's are a work of art.

If they don't think he can handle seeing this they better keep Orel away from him too.

Remember the great Cabbie Walk-Out of 1989 in protest of Lenny Kravitz's "Mr. Cab Driver"?
