ask Ivan Reitman, from the original Ghostbusters, it was his idea and he brought Paul Feig on board to direct. Not a decision made at Evil Feminism Headquarters
that’s the point, dude. You don’t want to watch a reboot or a remake or one with girls—don’t watch it. And—presto!—your fragile childhood remains intact.
The actors from the original are too old, too dead, or don’t want to do another Ghostbusters movie. The planned for years to do a “pass the torch” movie to a new cast (like the cartoon did) but eventually they decided to just reboot it entirely.
I think everyone can sympathize with the ‘why bother with a remake,’ until you look at the history of film and see that most everything is a remake or a reboot. The question is whether something is a quick cash-grab or something of aesthetic merit and genuine inspiration. No one really freaked out when Michael Bay…
Yeah, people act like remakes/reboots/franchises are a new thing, but they’ve been around since the silent era.
....money?
This is a good question at face value, but if you apply this logic across the board there is almost no reason to make any movies ever. Movies, almost by definition, do not ever have to be remade (or rebooted, or made in the first place).
If this point mattered, then it would have been a bigger deal when the Real Ghostbusters came out, or when Ghostbusters Extreme came out.
Its traditional.
I think just peeing on it is probably the way to deal with a true alpha-male like the Donald.
But if you’re having a pool party, and all your guests are using your towels aren’t you going to wash them after anyway? If it’s your family, don’t you all just use the same towels? AH HA! I just came up with a scenario - roommates that share a bathroom and do their laundry separately. But then again, it’s still…
... why did Star Trek have to be remade? Why did Fright Night? Why would literally any massively popular and moderately original movie be remade? Because the movie business is, first and foremost, a business, and they want to make money.
Or when a couple of kids start snapping the towels at each other.
These tools in other people’s pools.
“I died for the sins of these tools?”
I can’t WAIT until someone sues the shit out of the company when one of these things puts an eye out during a brisk hair toweling.
I can see how, if you’re going to be spending time around Donald Trump, you would want some way to identify your property in case it mysteriously disappears. Just saying.
