Call to boycott Ocean’s 8.

I think we make ourselves look silly by calling for a boycott of a film (unless it explicitly promotes violence against men).

Let feminist directors remake all the movies they want to - the market will decide if they are to succeed. If a lot of these "femakes" lose money, there will be fewer of them.

I'd rather see women making their own, fresh new stories anyway. Hollywood has too many remakes in general; there are lots of great unfilmed stories out there.

Let’s remake Bridesmaids or Steel Magnolias with all-male casts!

I think this movie is already getting boycotted because it sucks.

Boycott the entire movie industry.

What is it other than a waste of time anyway?

The best thing we can do is not worry about it and not bring any attention to it

I saw it. Formulaic but then again so are most heist movies. I thought it was pretty good. As good as the other ocean movies.

Unfortunately, it seems to be doing well.

No need, the film is tanking all on its own.

After Ghostbusters and this film both flop, hopefully studios will be hesitant to crank out any more lazy gender-flip remakes.

And after Disney takes stock of the fact that they've trashed their expensive purchase of the Star Wars franchise by letting it be infected with feminist dogma, hopefully they will start screening their writers, directors and producers to filter out the feminist/social justice ideologues. Or maybe we'll have to see a few more expensive flops before studios learn the lesson.

This is bait.

The movie should get as much exposure as it deserves, then people can make up their own minds. Just in casual skimming of reviews, it is being hailed as successful as the female Ghostbusters reboot. Pretty harsh, but time will tell.

MrComicBook · 2018-06-13T03:28:46+00:00

Yes. Stooping to their level is totally what I want to do about a movie that's going to flop in the box office.

Why would I stop these all female cast remakes when all they do is fail hard?

I don't personally know anyone who wants to see it. Its Ghostbusters 2.0_4.0.

I say LET production companies pander to minority groups (people who want to see the 'male patrarchy of film' subverted' is a minority group), and let them go bankrupt doing so.

If SJW is bad for business, it will never obtain a culturally normalized foothold.

There is no need to boycott something that nobody wants to see...

AngryBreadRevolution · 2018-06-13T17:36:42+00:00

I wont be seeing it. It's a shame since I quite like Anne Hathaway and Helena Botham Carter, but I'm just too creeped out by the fact that Kate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock use harvested korean baby foreskins to try and hold onto their diminishing looks. It's feel very abusive, unethical and...frankly witch-like (using children to retain beauty)
