I heard that the opening scene is a bit scary, mostly because it is filmed in a more suspenseful style, after that I bet it will be fine. I’m willing to bet it is a lot like Men in Black was in terms of scariness/violence/humor and I’m sure an 8 year old will be able to handle it if accompanied by an adult they know…

Good news! There’s a dragon in Ghostbusters! One of the trailers gets you a glimpse of it

What I want to know is how all those people anonymously posting ratings on IMDB got in to see the prescreenings

I’m with you, although I am still willing to check out the slowly creeping up Fresh rating over on Rotten Tomatoes purely for gloating on the internet purposes. No spoilers there beyond that the film is pretty good.

Yeah, that’d be like crossing the streams or something

I’ve also seen a couple posts out there on the internet alleging a conspiracy between Sony and the SJW critics. Apparently Sony isn’t going to allow any critic who isn’t either their BFF or part of the matriarchy in to see and review the film.

It was a boiling over of the mass hate that started when the cast was announced. The mediocre trailer gave a lot of people the cover they needed to express their true feelings without being called out for being chauvinist dinguses

I sort of feel the same way. I’d agree that not all of the people who dumped all over the movie are overtly misogynist, there certainly was enough reason to suspect that the movie might be crappy based on the pretty mediocre first trailer and the generally paint by numbers marketing. On the other hand, the level of…

It’s gratifying to see that Ghostbusters is actually getting pretty good reviews overall. 78% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes as of this post. Not surprising, with such a talented cast and director, but gratifying in the face of the misogynist backlash that started long before the poorly cut first trailer came out. I’m on a…

You definitely are missing a few somethings, and I think it would be fair to expand the conversation beyond Marvel and beyond just writers as the opportunity to break into creative comics work in general is often what writers/artists of color have historically gotten from the existence of characters of color.…

(This parner had better be Demora, is all I’m saying. Because Demora is awesome and deserves to exist in the alternate universe, too.)

Nope, sorry. Whenever I look at that costume I still just see this particular bit of ultra violent mediocrity. Maybe everyone is pissed at Cyclops cause he started taking fashion tips from a crappy 90s character?

I can’t wait to see their dark and edgy take on Alpha 5. Probably he’ll be a grisly cyborg constructed from alien technology combined with what was scraped off the bottom of the shaft after an elevator full of girl scouts who had just won free Ouya’s for all the cookies they sold suffered broken cables and plummeted…

Exactly one year from US release, btdubs

Just got my GTX 1070 in the mail yesterday, I probably should have been paying more attention and waited a bit cause it looks like the 1060 is going to be able to meet or exceed all of my needs at a lower price. I thought it wasn’t coming for a while yet. Oh well, live and learn

I mean I’ve liked Pepper since before Gwyneth ever heard of her, but I’m glad they are going a different direction. The Pepper as Iron person thing has been done a few times in a few different ways in a few different mediums

I bet that is the long term outcome here. Tony won’t stop being Iron Man forever. He’s taken breaks before and then whoever filled in for him has become War Machine

Unfortunately, it is incredibly hard to launch completely new characters in superhero comics. Most of the characters who sell issues were created decades ago, and they’ve left a staggering number of great concepts and characters that never took off in their wake. Since the two big booms in character creations in the…

And nobody batted an eye at how the fuck this worked without poor Pepper getting her hair ripped out

I also would prefer more PoC writers, particularly women, getting opportunities in comics. That said, one of the great things about comics is that multiple writers and artists get opportunities to put their stamp on most characters. In terms of representation, there tends to be a long running pattern dating back to…
