If you have to keep it frozen, how can you eat it?

The amount of hate on YouTube for each of the trailers is just effin' wonderful.  :smitten:

Yes and we're all misogynist pricks for not loving it.

So, will this be worse than the latest Fantastic Four reboot, or will we not see something that bad again.

This looks like it's going to be pretty bad, but I'm not sure it will be FF bad. Problem is everyone is going to compare it to the original Ghostbusters and by that measure it will look awful.

To be fair, this version of the film has been in development hell for quite a long time. There was a video on YouTube that gave an interesting look at how many times they tried to develop it and the infighting that resulted. It makes more sense to me now WHY they did what they did (and I wish I could find the video, but I can't, sorry).

But. That does not mean it will be a good movie. It looks bloody awful from what the trailers are trying to do. The trailers themSELVES are rather misogynistic, not to mention reeking of double-standard racism.

^HAHAHA first time I've seen anyone mention that but you're right about the misogyny...

This movie looks awful by any measure.

It does, which is why the cries of misogyny piss me off so much.  It just looks shit, in every conceivable way.  There's nothing wrong in calling shit shit.

Omfg...make a good movie. I don't give a fuck about the gender of the cast if it is actually good. Nothing I've seen in the trailers makes me want to see this film

I still love Kristen Wiig. And I hope this movie is better than I expect it to be.
