If you take all the jokes out of the first one it's still a great horror thriller type movie. That Zuul stuff and those dogs scared the shit out of me when I was smaller. This new ghostbusters is more like a comedy and less like a horror, although it does have some nice ghost action.

Also I'd say I'm more attached to the original characters, but that's no knock on this cast because they're fantastic too in a different way.

Perhaps you will be glad to know Leslie Jones has returned to Twitter.

No word yet on if Milo's twitter that was wrongfully banned will be unbanned.

But seriously though this all started because Leslie couldn't handle a negative review of her film. IMO celebrities need to get a thicker skin if they want to have a social media presence. It's a sad reality, but a reality.

So your're okay with calling another person with racist remarks?

Okay so I never once said that. What I said was celebrities need thicker skin. That had to do with her being unable to handle a negative review of her film, which is why I mentioned that in my previous sentence.

Likewise Milo wasn't racist, it was his fans.

Not sure what triggered you into thinking that meant I thought racist remarks were okay.

Now I'm not entirely educated on what happened, but I've heard Milo organized a 4chan attack on Leslie jones. Inspiring his fellow assholes to bombard her with racism, sexism, harassment and death threats.

Now I understand the dangers of censorship, but no one should be getting harassed. If you can't play nice than you can gtfo is Twitter's policy. Would you invite someone into your house if they're being assholes to you and other guests, no you'd kick them out and not invite them back

He didn't organize anything though. Like I said Milo posted a negative review of Ghostbusters. Not on Twitter though. As I understand it Leslie Jones then took to twitter to complain over this. Milo responded on twitter by calling the movie terrible and saying she was trying to play the victim. Then Jones reports Milo for that.

Some more tweets are exchanged and the worst thing he says is to call her a man. Or rather he says "rejected by another black dude" in reference to her.(Milo is gay and likes black men in particular). After this Milo's fans came and began the harassment. There has been no evidence he orchestrated it and he has denounced what has happened.

There is a difference between being a dick and harassing someone. Milo was a dick to Leslie after she took offense to him daring not to like her movie. He is a professional provocateur not someone who engages in vicious harassment like this.

So this movie has only made $86 million. Is it safe to say it tanked?

Post proof that Milo organized a 4chan attack on Leslie Jones.

It made 122 million counting world wide.

But yeah, still tanked. It's not breaking even, let alone making profit.

eh. It is still gonna get a sequel so it don't matter.

Bwahahaha:

YouTube video

This isn't even the first time Sony has pulled shit like this. I thought this movie looked awful, but I don't specifically actually want it to do bad or good. There were times when the SJW's made me wish this movie would fail, but overall it's meh to me. Some people want it to do good just because it's some PC bullshit where they decided to stick females in the main roles, it's like they just need it to be good for THAT reason which is strange.

If this was a shitty remake, but with men..the truth is people wouldn't of been so hell bent on seeing this movie succeed. It's as if some felt if this movie does bad it just reflects bad on women in general.

This SJW stuff is seeping into pretty much every single aspect of our culture. I'm almost expecting DC comics to do a reboot for Wonder Woman and come out with a movie where she is a he. Prince Daniel of Themyscara..because at this point why not?

You aren't sure? Dude three words: social justice warriors.

For as much as Sony and others wanted to whine people wanted this movie to fail due to the women..you also have a shitload of people who wanted it to succeed just due to the women. I guarantee you some people saw this movie because they mistakenly believed a lot of the backlash was due to misogyny. Which is probably why Sony whined so much about it and possibly even paid people to give it good reviews lol.

Underestimate the power of SJW's at your own peril.

Just look at this thread, where people were defending it even though the trailers looked like crap, all because it starred women.

They are busy crying off the rape.

I mean I'll give people some credit, the trailer was awful but that doesn't always mean a movie will be bad. At the same time it's also not wrong to judge on a trailer IMO since that is what trailers are for. Trailers are meant to convey what the movie is about, the tone of it, etc.

But how can people say there wasn't some kind of agenda for this film when it was given a sequel before it even made half its budget back?

SJW tops Reality

So we all agree, at best this was a mediocre movie?

Is it true this movie is getting a sequel despite it flopping?

Yup
