Will check this. Oh my god, that avatar.. it's terrible, it's great, it's creepy. |

bane? |

Yeah Bane So I watched the ghostbusters review this morning because it showed up on my youtube feed. The director Paul Feig reminds me of Michael Gove the politician. They're both sort of posh and twatty. His assistant writer is freaking hawt imo. It's a shame that for all their kindness and enthusiasm that they made such a shit film. Oh well. I totally agree that the black woman was the funniest. I laughed when Plinkett says "STOP TALKING". And I agree that the original Ghostbusters is underrated. Respect due to Red letter for caring about this shit, they should be paid by hollywood to review scripts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I was thinking exactly the same thing, he is the spit if Michael gove |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes the little edits they did improved it and it was so easy to do, the main issue was that there was no real script it was just ad libbed badly 90% of the way through |

Why Women Aren't Funny https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2007/01/hitchens200701 |

funnily enough I read that article a while ago, what I would say more than women not being funny is that American movies on the whole aren't funny, also I suppose I can count on one hand the amount of women that make me laugh, I think its down to being male as well, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its like that google engineer who got fired, he was telling an uncomfortable truth so he had to go, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the reason you tend to get more engineers that are male, is that on the whole it just appeals to the male mind more, its just true no matter how you spin it, to deny reality isn't sexist its just stating the truth, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My aunty lives next door and she's a hardcore feminist. But when it's time to lift a washing machine for my grandmother then it's the men who must do it. :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I was watching this bbc advert for this show called boys and girls where they are denying that their is any biological different between men and women, it denying reality its really weird to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't buy the ladies dressed as nuclear engineers thing at all. All the way through I'm thinking "these are lame American comedians". I'm surprised by how many poo and fart jokes Plinkett points out. And the oops I fell over thing happened so many times.Can't believe how babyish it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the act like a bunch of children in a high school play, its really weird, the humour is so shit its mindboggling, its hard to be that unfunny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shows you the fear of upsetting people that the film has decent reviews, you cant say something is inherently shit without someone saying you hate women, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even Kermode gave it 3/5 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't get me wrong there are loads of even worse films, it does get a lot of negative attention because it has all female leads, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think yeah making it an all female cast probably was a mistake, in my honest opinion, it does sound terribly sexist to say but I think its the truth, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Women in movies are there for sex appeal, without that there's little of interest to see. No sex appeal. In a comedy there are supposed to be funny characters like Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase. No funny characters. The script should have been deadpan and witty. Instead it's babyish and improvised trash. No jokes. The overall plot is stolen from the first movie. Paul Feig and his hot assistant should not write again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It was like that cringe humour like the office I don't get that sort of thing, its just not for me, yes wit I like a bit of wit to my humour unfortunately it a forgotten commodity in modern cinema, just dick and ass jokes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reminds me of Kevin Smith, the genius who made Clerks, and how many big turds he has produced since then. At one point he was going to direct a remake of Fletch. Would have sucked ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes cant say ive enjoyed anything he has made in years, I think dogma was perhaps the last one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes it's a bit sad what happened to Kensington Smith. Also very arrogant to say of me; I'm sure/hope he's happy. Nice bit of autocorrect there, left in for good effect. Makes him all Posh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
feels like any tarantino made after pulp fiction, he because a parody of himself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that's just my opinion, actually I really like Jackie brown so after that film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know what you mean, yeah. It seems like all great directors have a period where they make such great things, that expectations are often too highly set from then on. Maybe they get cocky, maybe the pressure, maybe we don't get them anymore. Money, bah we could talk about it for hours. We were talking about Scott and a few others if I rem correctly only recently. Speaking of which, I tired to watch Shutter's Island but just wasn't in the mood after a bit. If you've seen it, should I keep the recording and watch it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't seen it, is it a Scorsese film? I will have to watch it myself, yeah I think he suffered the same in wolf from wall street and gangs of new York, like take his tax driver, goodfellas formula and apply it to other stories where the wise guy thing doesn't work as well, he is essentially remaking his own film but with diminishing returns each time, still even his bad films are usually good, I think even casino was basically goodfellas more ore less |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the style and tone is too similar so everything blurs into one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm being hypercritical today, don't get me wrong I love Scorsese films, I often watch and enjoy films of much lesser note, just in reference to Kevin Smith its even worse, I enjoyed his anecdote about his aborted superman project much more than any film he has made in the last couple of decades |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What was the anecdote? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah you make good points. Though I would say that I thought Casino was ace, and I guess always preferred to imagine it was done purposely (possibly just denial), the similarities with Goodfellas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
clerks is fucking shite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at the very best it needs subtitles and directions as to wtf is going on, and you need to turn the volume WAY down unless you have a brain embolism.... anyway |
||||||||
|

|
|
hi :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yah, just watched this last night. Solid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I did once try to watch the new Ghostbusters but bailed after about 15 minutes. I like in the Plinkett video the actor chortling that they filmed long sessions of their weak-sauce ad-libbed scenes - as if, Terrence Malick like, Feig might conceivably go back and edit a 5 hour version of the film. Shutter Island I found deeply disappointing. It starts off good. I won't give an spoilers, only to say it manages to spoil itself about two thirds of the way through and from that point I found I didn't care. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Their is almost nothing I disagree with him on, perhaps the fact he is generous to the talents of the main cast, I think that's more me though I really don't like sitcom style humour |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is not ghostbusters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
should have been called spirit catchers then when i goolag ghostbusters i see ghostbuster 1984 results. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Can it be said that modern cinema is a reflection of the general dumbing down of society? then again I think the general public realised it was a load of bollocks, the only people defending it are the PC brigade |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm I sound quite sexist in this thread, I must admit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but if i said I think it was a great idea to make the cast all female. would that not be sexist too? maybe not so much but ... You cant win against the PC brigade ... you will be labelled with some form of 'ism.' or 'ist' very quickly.. they are programmed by the globalist to weaken you and move forward the new world order agenda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I suppose your correct, ive always been dubious of enforcing stuff like when the bbc obviously told doug Naylor to make kochanski a regular character, I reckon that's probably why rob grant left, main reason, its why BBC wont have red dwarf on their channel anymore, a crew of all blokes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BBC really is a bit like a subtle propaganda machine, when I saw that program, no girls or boys I was thinking surely this is beyond the remit of a public broadcasting network |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is that true. i didnt know that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or are you guessing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well perhaps propaganda is too strong a word, but they do have a political bias against scientific fast by the looks of things, i.e. denying physiological difference in genders |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm in no way suggesting being a woman limits you in any way in any aspect of your life, but also I find it disingenuous to ignore factual difference between the genders, whats the point of denying that, it will create more problems |
