There's a fair chance this is all marketing bullshit trying to charm the fans they pissed off back into the fold. They may or may not mean what they claim, though if I had to gamble I'd put my money on this just being meaningless happy noises meant to unpoison the well. My take isn't skip the movies, it's ignore the critics because they're all corporate. Don't go in the first two weeks. Wait until there's a verdict on if the damn movie is actually worth your resources.
The fact they're trying this charm offensive at all IS generating backlash from the noisy social-media yeastgarglers, though. The two states are not mutually exclusive.

It would work for me. If they completely ignore SJW's and make a movie that makes a racist joke, has a sexy woman acting feminine, and is otherwise irreverent and entertaining I'll buy my first movie ticket in many years.

Remakes are hard. I'm kind of worried this will just be a near-perfect echo of the original, adding nothing.

A good take is more than possible. I present as evidence Max Landis' take on GB3. Mind you I had to wayback that shit because Max got slapped with a PoundMeToo last year and DELETED FUCKING EVERYTHING as a response.

Even if it was a total nothing-added/nothing-changed echo, that’d still be worlds better than the Power Puff girl’s club POS remake. Besides--we all know this version is going to be more fully packed with Africans, Asains, Latinos, Eskimos, Muzzies, Native Americans, South Pacific Islanders and every other brand of whatever than the damn UN. The ghosts will probably be ethnically identifiable as everything but white. At the very least, that’ll be different than the original three white guys with one black guy format.

I wish I could stomp on the heads of feminists. In any case this will probably lure me into a theater. I haven't been in one of those in 10 years.
It's weird I cant remember the last time I was excited for a movie. But this one will be a sequel in the spirit of the original and it is gonna piss off feminists and sjws at the same time. The only thing that could make this better will be the hip flask I bring with me and having the woman drive us home.
Hopefully this movie massively outperforms that stupid feminist bullshit movie they made.

My wife and I "hate watched" the semi-recent Death Wish remake and the most recent Liam Neeson movie at the theater. We didn't know if the movies would be good or bad, but we wanted to add to the box office. Vote with your dollars, folks, 'cause ballot boxes don't mean shit.
If you're wondering, both movies were terrible. They were way too violent. A lot of shooting.

The film still hasn't opened in a few markets, including France, Japan and Mexico, but box-office experts say it will have trouble getting to $225 million despite a hefty net production budget of $144 million plus a big marketing spend. The studio has said break-even would be $300 million.
So $156 million in marketing to shit all over their audience. I hope for Sony's sake that they have terminated relations with that marketing company.

The movie sucked. No marketing company could have changed that.

listened to him on Bill Burr's podcast, apparently his dad directed the first one, hope its good but its almost impossible to recapture the magic of the first two

There's no way of knowing if this is true, it could be nothing more than the advertisement campaign for the movies that you're sharing.
[–] MrShekelstein ago
For all we know the libtards don't really care, we'll see in the upcoming years.
I actually didn't mind the most recent ghostbusters, it could have been a good movie if they didnt go full retard on the advertisement and propaganda.

If the SJWs are admitting that they steered the franchise away from the original vision of the people who created it, aren't they admitting to cultural appropriation?
[–] HighEnergyLife 0 points 26 points 26 points (+26|-0) ago
Leftists believe all of this simultaneously
[–] goatmensch 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
There's one more: only white males can be accused of cultural appropriation.

Their brains are scrambled eggs. Education from K-12-College is a daily Jewish brain microwave that fucks your capacity for logic into the dirt.

If you think about it, blacks using the word nigger is cultural appropriation.
