Agree to disagree. Hope you get that you want out of it.

I like Janosz. He's a great character, but he wasn't written to appeal to women and so Paul Feig can fly his "women are superior to men, because I'm afraid of men" banner. Plus given Kevin's role in the proceedings it seems like hes more than a side character, wouldn't you say?

[GBfan77]

We all did, man. We'll maybe not some reboot fans, but most of us did too lol

EVERYBODY loved Janine, that includes reboot fans. You don't suddenly stop being a fan just because a reboot get's released.

I don't see anything that tells me Feig thinks that or imply that in his films. It's funny how nobody gave a crap about women in lead roles until the reboot came out, now it's a big deal.

Yeah, today's clip sealed it for me, I won't be seeing this movie. It's not written to entertain, it's written to belittle and divide. I'm not drinking the Kool-Aid, and I'm not spending the $7 to be preached at.

[Jangonate]

I am not drinking the Koolaid, either!

But I am seeing the film because I've laughed at what I see. Also, I've laughed at men being big dumb animals in other films, male dominated films, and still not felt preached to. The good looking, but dumb puppy dog character has been around forever and both male and female (dumb blonde...which he is, too).

If the movie doesn't appeal to you...cool beans. But I haven't seen anything preachy and I get paid to preach for a living. I should know.

No Kool-Aid here, either. I try to shy away from processed sugars. Except a brownie. I can't say no to a good brownie. I might even sneak a brownie into the theater on 7/15!

[Jangonate]

But Ecto Cooler! I will be drinking the Ecto Cooler.

Depending on the kind of 'brownie' you have, you'll enjoy the movie that much more!

You guys done? Can we get back on topic? I swear you pro booters are reaching Cassidy levels.

Right. Let's go back to discussing Star Trek movies.

[DarkSpectre]

Works for me

[featofstrength]

I...I can't do this anymore...

*sigh*

Hey, I read that Ernie Hudson has a part in the Twin Peaks sequel. Good for him! David Duchovny is back as well... wonder if we'll get any timely bathroom jokes.

[DarkSpectre]

Ernie is a great actor. Very underrated, which is a shame.

[YHSCraig]

There are definitely some moments in the trailer that were not funny but to me, the Chris Hemsworth segment was great. I literally laughed really hard a few times, and I don't even love Hemsworth. In fact, I think his SNL episodes are garbage. But I really loved what I saw here. I think the dynamic of him being really dumb but good looking is hilarious and the way that Wiig looks past it because she thinks he's hot plays off great with the way McCarthy is calling him out for being a dummy.

I have seen a lot of people today being hard again on Feig for casting Hemsworth as the dumb guy while the girls get to be Ghostbusters. Why is that bad? Like why does anybody have a fundamental problem with that?

I get that Janine was smart, that's great. Why does this secretary have to be the same character type. More than anything, the people who are hating on the movie can't be swayed so it's a pointless argument but everyone I talked to today thought the Hemsworth stuff was super funny.

Yeah, I really don't get it.

AWESOME! On both accounts. I love Twin Peaks. Fingers crossed. Oh, Sherilyn Fenn. My heart goes pitter patter.

Of course, if the trailer doesn't appeal to me, I won't be taking to the Twin Peaks message boards to complain about it.

...wonder if we'll get any timely bathroom jokes.

Yeah, because Aykroyd/Ramis/Reitman would have never considered such a thing for GB.

[WhoaFoogles]

I didn't care much for the jokes in the trailer, but I thought most of the Kevin bits were funny.

When the hell are they going to release a full version of that new theme remix?

If we're shifting to talking about the Star Trek reboot, then let's talk about how the Ghostbusters reboot can't possibly be a worse film than Into Darkness.
Edit: totally didn't realize another thread actually got derailed with Star Trek talk.

[Demon Vice Commander]

My problem with Kevin is that he's just too dumb to be believable as a character. I don't mind the idea of having a male character that's a little dense, and even the butt of jokes, but Kevin is just impossibly stupid. I've seen doorknobs with a higher IQ than this guy...

[zeta otaku]

I work in construction.

I've met plenty of people just like Kevin. They're out there.

[savintheday]

Well, the humor in that video wasn't as cringe worthy as the trailers, but still not that funny. The delivery in this movie comes off as too self-aware and feels processed. I don't hate Kevin but he's too much like a caricature and not very believable. Looking more like a live action cartoon.

[Alphagaia]

I always found Tully (and Janine and Janosh in GB2) to be caricatures as well. Even the naysayers seem to agree he is the best character in the movie, so I'm excited to see how this bumbling bafoon will turn out.

I'm totally counting on Kevin to release Mayhem to proof ghosts exists, which kills Bills character in the process.

This is so true man. I LOVED him in The Crow. He was also a great cop in the Heroes Series.

[Travis Burrell]

Second this!!!! WHEN!?


Also, I LOVED JANOSZ. Favorite character of all of them.

[JurorNo.2]

Janosz is probably the most quoted character in GBII.

[pferreira1983]

Huh, guess Feig needed a Jar Jar Binks

That's insulting Jar Jar Binks.

The person I've spoken to who has seen a screen test is just as confused about the trailer as Melissa McCarthy. To him it depicted a different film than what he saw and thinks it terrible marketing. To here McCarthy just as confused by its logic is funny.

[DarkSpectre]

Pro or anti aside, that's kinda messed up right? If one of the stars is even confused about the trailer?

[Kingpin]

There was one snippet in the article where McCarthy raised here worries over the trailer, with the indication that here concerns ended up basically being ignored.

That feels really rather messed up.

[DarkSpectre]

I agree, If you're ignoring your main star, that's not a good thing.

[Raystantz Italy]

Sony is trying very hard to shoot him/herself in a foot.
