Precisely why I didn't see the Footloose remake. No Loggins!

Destor 02-20-2017 11:36 PM

McCarthy's character has a gizmo that is probably a repurposed dildo

No Lithgow no view!

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:38 PM

I just googled it and apparently they did use Loggins but the poor bastard didn't get a penny because he doesn't own the rights.

Ugh this would never happen to Randy Newman.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:40 PM

Exorcist bit. A monkey could have written this

Destor 02-20-2017 11:40 PM

Followed by slap gags

Destor 02-20-2017 11:40 PM

Its so mickey mouse its painful

Destor 02-20-2017 11:44 PM

Theyve taken a clever and original comedy and made a paint by numbers summer comedy with the same franchise elements

Destor 02-20-2017 11:44 PM

A turd by any other name would stink just as bad though. This movie is a bit of a mess.

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:45 PM

Paul Feig's next film will be another reboot, "Francine Got Fingered".

Sarah Silverman in consideration to play Francine.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:45 PM

Cameos are supposed to endear me but are just flat

The porn parody writes itself

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:48 PM

The original Ghostbusters was high concept brah. It wasn't particularly clever but it was very original.

The only other comedy(not for little kids) I can name about ghosts is The Frighteners and that was just...
Well it wasn't good.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:50 PM

CGI team has to be the same team that did scoobie doo

I have a soft spot for frighteners. My dad loved it and it reminds me of him.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:51 PM

Guilty pleasure movie

Destor 02-20-2017 11:52 PM

Scarface joke. Its so generic.

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:52 PM

It has Jake Busey so I give it some credit.
Hey it was better than LOTR and The Hobbit at least. God they bored me.

The Hobbit was utter shit. THE WORST

Destor 02-20-2017 11:54 PM

I popped for slimer

Yeesh that is both way too late for a reference and way too early for a reference what with the reboot not being anywhere near ready.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:57 PM

Antagonist has the ability to control all life. Freeze entire army with ease. Doesnt bother to freeze the ghostbusters.

Peter Jackson just has horrible taste in stories so his films largely suck balls.
He is an incredible technician the way he directs though so I hope someday he actually makes a film out of a good story.

Braindead was great but it was about 20 years ago.

His kong remake made me hate Kong almost retroactively

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:59 PM

I'd rather watch bad sci fi than any other genre. Horror second and action third.

That is close enough to the MST3K formula.

Only if i have company that we can have fun with it.

Destor 02-21-2017 12:00 AM

Basically the same go home as avengers

It made me hate Naomi Watts for a long time. It would be a good film if it were 2/3rds the length and had a suitable female lead.
Naomi Watts is fucking shit at anything besides serious thrillers or dramas.

Destor 02-21-2017 12:03 AM

Final thoughts: i was bad. If you like bad movies youre going to love this. And i meam that.

I only watch comedies or action films with friends. I tend never to watch a film for the first time around others. I am a solo viewer and I make no apologies for it.

To be fair original Ghostbusters had that we love New York stuff before the Avengers.

Lol i mean the return from the abyss. Not origiinal by any means but its a bit fresh to do after one of the most seen movies of all time

Yeah good point.

That is not true. People do question films because of lack of female leads in them. That is categorically false.

He tried to make it a big deal women were starring in it. Trying to make an issue out of something that isn't an issue. Plenty of action movies have female leads.

The movie also seemed to be written by a 3rd grader also. CGI made by somebody who watched Haunted Mansion and went YUP!

Destor 02-21-2017 12:08 AM

If the movie had been more like the credit sequence id have liked it more. But its basically the McKinnon show

This reminded me of all the people that claim Prometheus tells them loads more about the origin story of Alien when the whole two hour film tells you pretty much the same thing as the beginning of Alien right down to the croissant shaped spaceship and the massive dead humanoids.
Black goop. That is the single thing Prometheus adds.

People don't do that much anymore. The ultra feminists do but then who cares about a fanatical and frequently ignorant minority?

The Hobbit as told by Bilbo Baggins...

"I feel... thin. Sort of stretched, like... butter scraped over too much bread."

Destor 02-21-2017 12:11 AM

Im a film snob. I admit this. I didnt hate the movie because they had female leads. It was just too basic.

Seanny One Ball 02-21-2017 12:11 AM

Also you shouldn't commit to a word like "categorically" until you can back it up and understand what it means.
