On the other hand the article points out that they didn’t even call the cops. The police chief in the original article said that he understand that one might be too scared to stop and help, but if you see a woman running for her life and screaming for help the absolute least you could do is call the police.

It’s why we need feminism throughout the world. The quote won’t be relevant once everyone sees and values women as autonomous people worthy of inherent respect, the same way we’ve viewed men since time immemorial.

The original Italian article mentions that she left him because he hit her (well, they call it “a violent incident that disturbed her, though she chose not to denounce him, possibly because she was concerned that it would cost him his job”).

I liked how Stephen King handled this when people were all up in arms that the TV show “Under the Dome” wasn’t faithful to the book and claimed the TV show ruined it. He basically said “No. If you love the book, it’s still there, go read it, I promise you the book didn’t change because we made a TV show.” The ‘you…

If they remake Harry Potter in 20 years I will still go see it. I loved the books and would want to see what take the filmmakers had on the books. I love the cast they had for the originals but I wouldn’t be like no one ever can try their hand at those characters ever again.

Here’s where your argument falls apart for me: How does the existence of a film you don’t even want to see affect you or your memory or the existence of the previous film?

This is horrible. That poor young woman. Her poor family. I hope this man goes to prison for a very, very long time.

Is this new movie going to make the old movie not exist anymore? Because that’s the leap I’m not able to make here... how does a remake do anything to the original beloved film whether it’s good or bad?

Agreed. Why would a remake hurt the original in any way? It’s just insane to me. People get over-dramatic about this stuff. There was a Vox article not that long ago that made great points about why Scarlett Johansson shouldn’t star in the Ghost in the Shell live action movie coming. I agree. It’s a Japanese story…

This is especially bad logic because these people were hating on the movie long before the trailer came out. When it was announced there was a reboot starring women, people went apeshit.

You know what ruined my childhood? Becoming an adult. Because this shit makes me realize how good we all had it as 6-year-olds, as 9-year-olds. Becoming an adult. The end to all great childhoods.

Leslie Jones herself had some really good things to say about her character’s role on the team: the importance of having someone who really knew the city, and the value of MTA workers overall, and how the black character shouldn’t have to be a scientist in order for her contributions to be equally worthwhile. I’m…

It’s about ethics in trailer journalism!

I want to see Leslie Jones in a movie. That woman is awesome.

False. Hollywood reboots movies that absolutely do not need them all the time (and most of the time the trailers for those projects look like shit too). I can’t think of a single reboot that has attracted anywhere NEAR the level of vitriol as the Ghostbusters reboot. There’s almost nothing different from Ghostbusters…

“it’s not because it’s starring women, it’s because the trailer is really bad!”

Well, shit, if those people tell you they don’t care they are women, well, it must be true. Anyone truly sexist would surely come right out and say so when confronted!

Like, do these idiots think these women are witches* capable of actually going back in time to white suburbia circa 1984 to piss in their Wheaties? Cause that’s the only way they are capable of ruining their childhood.

Funny, I read the youtube comments and it’s “OMG SJW feminazi’s ruin everything!”

If someone told me that something I made when they were already adults ruined their childhood, I’d probably have to stop myself from telling them that if that’s all it took to ruin their childhood, it wasn’t much of a childhood to begin with.
