Malcador Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) He's fine to not be interested in it. Though while looking up what this crap is about did come across one rather mean tweet https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/732599073723850752 One of the replies near the top.

Hurlshort Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I've heard it isn't very funny, which would make me lose interest. It is so weird to me that youtube personalities are a thing, and when people get upset about them, they express that by driving up traffic to their videos, which in turn makes them more profitable. 3
kirottu Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 This reaction to his video is pretty mind boggling, but it is just some loud angry minority. Just look the video's likes and dislikes. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
kirottu Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I've heard it isn't very funny, which would make me lose interest. I found the second trailer be slightly better than the first, but it's still pretty meh. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
Raithe Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Eh. The guy basically does the "I have huge nostalgia for the original and the trailer of the new one doesn't look great. It feels like a cash grab, and it annoys me they're just slapping the same name on it rather than a fresh one. So I have no plans to watch it, and thus I won't be reviewing it." - Of course, being a web personality he takes nearly seven minutes to explain it. From that, the internet forms an interesting barrage of outrage. Either it's the "look at the nerd wax nostalgic without even giving it a chance" , "it's because he's anti-feminist and its got women in" and a few based on the "you're saying its bad without seeing it. the trailer doesn't count." Overall, it does seem a rather bizarre collection of seething hate. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Blarghagh Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 But then again so does the bizarre collection of seething hate for the very existence of this movie. So all in all, people on the internet prove Sturgeon's law is a much too generous estimate. 1

So all in all, people on the internet prove Sturgeon's law is a much too generous estimate. Don't be harsh on people not liking it. Money grab boom of remakes in Holywood is now through the roof and people complain about it. No problem with me I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Meshugger Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 ...or the film is incredibly bland (=bad) that it is a calculated risk to manufacture an outrage for possible higher returns. But that would of course require coordination among the press, which we all know is quite impossible.

I can't be bothered to make a nice little montage like the one Mesh posted though. EDIT: Seriously though, I've got no real beef with this movie. Yes, it looks awful, so I won't see it and I'll pop in ye olde DVD of the original instead, which will still be just as good. Consider my childhood intact an unmolested.

So all in all, people on the internet prove Sturgeon's law is a much too generous estimate. I don't have a seething hate for it. But the trailer hasn't impressed me. It's very much on a "eh, when it gets around to being free on Amazon Prime I'll probably see what its like." "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Spot on. The guy's other actual reviews for big titles (TFA, Batman v. Superman) have ~350k views, with ~7-8k likes. His Ghostbusters "non-review"? >800k views, 48k likes. Lol, what? There may be other ways to get huge traffic spikes on your pop culture channel than appealing to the current 'SJW' controversy, but I don't know what those would be. 2 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Volourn Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) SJW Nazis being SJW Nazis. Gamergaters being Gamergaters. As for new GB. the problem isn't that it is female GB. I lvoe plenty of films with female leads. Hell, people are excited for Suicide Squad and that movie's hype is being pushed by the female star. Alien was made decades ago with a strong female led and males love that movie and series. But, yeah, males hate movies with female elads. NO LOGIC. The problem with the new GB movie is it looks like crap and they chose the wrong group if female actresses to do it (imo). I won't watch it for the same reason I didn't watch Civil War. It looks like garbage. That said, new GB has company in remakes I loathe thanks to previews. The new MacGuyver remake looks absolutely dreadful. I remember hearing that theyw er eoriginally going to go with a female MacGuyver... well.. if the new male MacGuyver was the best actor they could get for it... they would have been better off with getting a talented female MacGuyver because this male one is plain and simply awful. I must hate him because I am sexist males. RIGHT? RIGHT. Edited May 19, 2016 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Comedy trailers usually contain some of the funnier moments, and these trailers haven't caused me to crack a smile. I will just watch the first two movies in 4k on my home tv come launch day, and for the rest of my life. I need to get all the episodes of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, though.
Darkpriest Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 LUL #postcount - that's the level of criticism of all those people...
Fighter Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 The 'hate' for the trailer wouldn't exists if not for the back and forth around it. There may be other ways to get huge traffic spikes on your pop culture channel than appealing to the current 'SJW' controversy, but I don't know what those would be. I don't think that was his goal. 1

Oh wow, now that tweet makes sense, pretty brutal. As I understand it, she made a documentary about abortion because she had decided to have an abortion and noticed that none of the documentaries that exist about the topic ever seemed to be from the perspective of someone who'd made that decision. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Valsuelm Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) The guy is like Tom Petty, he won't back down. He did say in his previous video that he was going to make this one. As for the thread issue.... I don't see any anger from the guy, nor is he talking about a video game. The new Ghostbusters represents pretty much everything that is wrong in Hollywood this last decade or two. Twitter is for morons or those that would lead them somewhere.
