It's because of sexism patriarchy racism xenophobia arachnophobia

[–]Cybugger 11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Damn spiders

[–]Gengaar 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

The patriarchy is responsible for spiders

[–]feedagreat 7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Shit...we should make a movie called spiderbusters where women see a spider in their house and they call the closest possible man to deal with it.

[–]eyeh8 6 points7 points8 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No one wants to pay for reality.

[–]pjr032 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

What exactly is defining it as a flop here? The amount of money taken in? The reviews? Rotten tomatoes has it as a 73% on the tomatometer, and the audience score is 58%. Far from their worst rating of the films released over the last year

Edit: guess I should have read the article first. Dumbass.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That's a real HD shot of Melissa McCarthy right here

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I love how they keep lowering it to make themselves look better first it was 500 million then 350 million now 250 million, quit trying to make this movie work

[–]Daedelous2k 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

And I'm glad to see it burn.

[–]OprahOfOverheals 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

From what I heard, this movie was basically the originL Ghostbuster, but women. Even had the same antagonists.

If there is any truth to this, it deserves to flop.

[–]helsquiades -5 points-4 points-3 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I know this place hates feminism, the word feminism, and feminists, but how is this a "feminist" film? It's just blockbuster schlock.

[–]realister 17 points18 points19 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

because all women in the movie are "smart and funny" and all men in this movie are either evil villains or idiots.

Main boss gets defeated by them all shooting him in the penis.

[–]lt_hindu 10 points11 points12 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Is that for real?! No way it would be that blatant. I don't believe you. And I don't want to watch this garbage either. Fuck me

[–]helsquiades -4 points-3 points-2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Because that's what feminism is, I guess

[–]johnchapel 29 points30 points31 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Its a feminist reboot because Paul Feig thought he could illicit a gender war in order to sell tickets, using feminism as his banner, shitting on the entirety of the existing male fanbase for a franchise that he had no business touching.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

while I agree with almost everything you said, as far as not touching ghostbusters, it was not that amazing to start with. I was up for a good reboot and or continuation, but this movie was not it.

[–]johnchapel 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Well I wasn't making any judgements about it being amazing or otherwise. However, as far as nerd culture and cult status goes, Feig had absolutely no business touching this potential cash cow.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Cool, not been a fan of any of his movies myself and they did go overboard with the whole girl power thing, besides Ivan Reitman , who has not directed anything good in years, who do you think should of directed? I am thinking Seth McFarland,  Judd Apatow or Seth Rogan.

[–]DeathMinistir 17 points18 points19 points 9 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

The reason people are anti-feminism is because feminism is anti-men. The movie was VERY anti-men.
Ghostbusters Reboot = Anti-Men = Feminism Reboot.

[+]Rallipappa -12 points-11 points-10 points 9 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

I though feminism is about equality

[–]TheDialecticParadox 8 points9 points10 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

You though wrong.

[–]Rallipappa -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Just googled, i though right.

From wikipedia: Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women.

[–]BryanFurious 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Tell that to a feminist.

[–]Rallipappa -3 points-2 points-1 points 9 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Its not my fault that people use the word wrong.

[–]TheDialecticParadox 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

No it's not your fault, but just because a movement is defined as being about social equality that doesn't mean it is. That is what it wants to be, but it is the complete opposite.

[–]ForgedBanana 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It is. Unfortunately, some people label themselves feminists when in reality they are just anti-men.

[–]duganaok 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

It got a 73% on rotten tomatoes. Is it really that bad?

[–]FruitierGnome 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Batman v Superman got 26% and while that movie wasnt the best it really wasnt any worse than civil war.

[+]WickedTriggered -31 points-30 points-29 points 9 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link

You realize the movie was written, funded, cast, and green lit by men right? McCarthy walked away with 14 million. I don't see her being too broken up about it.

[–]BukM1 29 points30 points31 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

if you become associated with flops it can affect your future earning potential.

e.g +14 million now might cost her -50million overall in future earning potential

[–]samsc2Cooking up a batch of MRE denials 19 points20 points21 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

well that and the fact that they insulted the shit out of anyone they wanted which pissed people off. I hope this continues on with all their other films so they stop being hired.

[+]Lipshitz2 -13 points-12 points-11 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Yeah...but $14 million...You can still be set for life in 2016 with $14 million if you play your cards right.

[–]Cosmic_Pumpkin 13 points14 points15 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm pretty sure that Hollywood actors and the such couldn't live off of $14 million for the rest of their lives

[–]FruitierGnome 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Cant live in california of 14 million

[–]johnchapel 22 points23 points24 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

You realize the movie was written, funded, cast, and green lit by men right?

It was greenlit by Amy Pascal, a female.

It stars Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, and Kate McKinnon, four females.

And was directed by Paul Feig, who openly wishes to fuck that he was a female.

McCarthy walked away with 14 million. I don't see her being too broken up about it.

Considering the only director who puts her in movies isn't going to be directing much after this, she's probably pretty broken up about it.

[–]Computermaster 12 points13 points14 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Also, the only male main/supporting character is played off as a completely mentally inept pretty boy (why did you do this to yourself Hemsworth?)

That there be equality.

[+]WickedTriggered -22 points-21 points-20 points 9 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Sony’s new film studio chief Tom Rothman -- who was appointed to the new role in February -- has reportedly approved a $154 million budget just months after news broke that the all female reboot was in the works.

Here is her IMDb: http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0565250/filmotype/actress?ref_=m_nmfm_1

most of her movies are with other directors. she and her bank account are living large

[–]johnchapel 13 points14 points15 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

OH god. Look who it is. The Sony Shill, defending in every ghostbuster thread.

Still singing the same song as last week, I assume, even though the movie isn't making shit?

[–]jaquesb 6 points7 points8 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Tell that to Brendan Fraser

[–]pointmanzero 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

what a blast from the past that guy is.

[–]jaquesb 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sadly, now he looks like a mummy
