Especially Bill Murray (I think Aykroyd would have been a better fit for the pompous ass trying to debunk the team's theories). Also, whether happened to his character? Assuming he died after bring knocked out the window, his death was casually brushed-off (and it's precisely that type of failure to adhere to…

I also went with the same mindset of (a) to (c). Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that, having given said film a chance, it turned out to be a pointless regurgitation of the original franchise that added nothing new or interesting to the concept apart from changing the gender of the protagonists, and I'm…

I'd never be abusive to any critic for simply expressing an opinion, but I don't see how it makes me a 'nerdbro' for noting the comparative sharpness of the original Ghostbusters' script in comparison to most movie comedy, both present and past. Even if one doesn't care for the original Ghostbusters I don't see how…

I know everyone has and is entitled to a different opinion, but I find it hard to see how anyone could argue that modern movie humour, with its reliance on unfocused (i.e lazy) improv, is superior to more classic film comedy with its tighter, more fine-tuned characterisations, storylines, and scenes that actually…

It strikes me that it's now the hip thing to say that the original Ghostbusters is mediocre, as if by doing so one is making some sort of progressive and feminist stand in favour of the reboot. Ironically this is the very thing those, otherwise idiotic, MRAs foretold; that the reboot would lead to the marginalisation…

Don't be absurd. The original is extremely well-crafted and grounded (which helps when you're dealing with such an inherently outrageous concept) especially in comparison to today's improv-heavy 'let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks' brand of movie humour (Feig and Apatow being particularly guilty…

Agreed, but it's kind of a shame that for a film trumpeted as feminist, it was the male sidekick who stole all the scenes.

I'm a typically 'big government' liberal, a social-democrat even (and thus far further to the left than most US Democrats), but even I am happy to concede that Walter Peck is a fair, albeit comical, reflection of a lot of (dickless) penpushing bureaucrats within the civil service. One can be pro-government and still…

I'm neither a libertarian or a MRA, but yet I, like many millions of people, female, male and transgender, find the original Ghostbusters to be a classic because it is smartly written, full of memorable and believable characters, genuinely funny, and original.

Jones was the best part for me. She's the only one who brought any personality to the whole sorry enterprise.

Sometimes a movie is just bad, irrespective of whether the cast is female or male.

I don't particularly care that much whether she pisses off white men. Men as a group are powerful and strong growth enough, in general, to take the hits. It's when she consistently goes after BAME men, characterising them as rapists, that I have a huge problem, and question her hip 'liberal' credentials. And you're…

So, any black or Hispanic man who objects to her Tweets characterising them as sexual predators/rapists must be 'thin-skinned MRA-types', right?

I don't know about white men, but she's certainly done a good job trying to alienate black and Hispanic men with some of her racist Tweets. I'm not saying she's succeeded since I can't speak for all black and Hispanic men, but constantly stereotyping black and Hispanic men as sexual predators, for 'laughs', doesn't…

Indeed. And politically speaking she not only attacks Republicans (which I don't have a particular problem with, although I wish she wouldn't lambast paid-up audience members at her gigs), she has made various offensive 'jokes' that stereotype and demean black men, Hispanic men, and Asians in general.

Does 'whining' include those people should are offended by Schumer's racist comments regarding black men being sexual predators, or even the way she harangues paid-up audience members who don't vote the same way as she does? And no, I am most definitely not a Trump supporter; I just happen to be a liberal who…

You're assuming that it's a reference to her looks or humour, which says as much about you as it does about capawesome.

How is Knox a 'social undesirable'? And where did I ever say I wanted an innocent woman to be imprisoned? Just because she's innocent doesn't mean I have to like her, or refrain from pointing out how the murder victim and her family have been marginalised.

'Fuck me', for suggesting that there are much bigger victims than Amanda Knox here? Knox has gone on to become a minor celebrity and make a pretty penny out of her four year ordeal, and has apparently become a cause celebre for people like you and the oh-so-hip neoliberal media. The Kerchers however have permanently…

I understand. I'm thinking a bit more soberly about if now, and to be honest, I'm just touchy about the subject because I, vaguely, know the Kercher family, and I, perhaps prejudicially, have a disliking for Amanda Knox (which doesn't mean I'm okay with her being setup for a murder she didn't commit). As much as I…
