[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690575]this is so smug and pompous my god[/QUOTE] You know it baby. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] Funny, actually, that you automatically refuse to actually look at this stuff, when we've clearly and blatantly read through the other sides arguments to present why they're full of shit. If you think this is ridiculous, if you think this is stupid, why exactly is it you wont watch a video presenting some facts (and they are indeed facts), and THEN arguing with a full grasp of the situation? Seems like a smarter move to me.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690575]this is so smug and pompous my god[/QUOTE] Fuck yeah found a pot to go with my kettle
oh, source on that internet haters scene btw [url]http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/ghostbusters-the-scene-altered-to-mock-its-internet-backlash-a7129171.html[/url] [quote]"It was added [to the script]," Melissa McCarthy stated. "We did something on the day that slightly tweaked it." With co-star Kristen Wiig adding, "I feel like the part was in [the script] already. But we changed what was said."[/quote] weird i guess life really does imitate art
Snip

I only came in here to say that maybe the film isn't awful and I don't understand the outrage over a movie that'll be quickly forgotten by people who won't even see it anyway. I don't really care about the film and I'm not really intending to see it anytime soon, but the outright dismissiveness of people who might have enjoyed the movie is kind of ridiculous to me.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690592]and I honestly don't care that much? [/QUOTE] so you're shitposting?
why does the tomatometer say that it's 69% fresh on top critics, when actually it's 50% fresh? like there's 7 rotten top critic reviews and 7 fresh ones what am i missing here
[QUOTE=TheJoey;50690594]so you're shitposting?[/QUOTE] or you're trying to move me away from my original point and turn me into some strawman I said the movie might not be the worst thing ever and the conspiracies sound kind of ridiculous and overblown, shoot me
Your original point of "you're all delusional"?
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;50690596]why does the tomatometer say that it's 69% fresh on top critics, when actually it's 50% fresh? like there's 7 rotten top critic reviews and 7 fresh ones what am i missing here[/QUOTE] it says 50% for me on top critics.
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690621]Your original point of "you're all delusional"?[/QUOTE] To think that every positive review out there is being forced by Sony is pretty delusional yes
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690633]To think that every positive review out there is being forced by Sony is pretty delusional yes[/QUOTE] No one said that though You're the one strawmanning here

A+ buddy you must've been fun in social studies classes in school. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690633]To think that every positive review out there is being forced by Sony is pretty delusional yes[/QUOTE] Which again, would make more sense if you actually bothered to listen to what anyone had to say or watch the videos i gave you. The videos. The perfectly free videos. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] MisterMooth you DO realize your whole argument boils down to "Whats this? People are getting mad at something? Bah i MUST put an end to this nonsense at once! Be damned their rationale! Nay to their evidence!" I mean i know time is ever a fleeting mistress destined to end in disaster but in the grand scheme an hour is an hour, and thats all it'd take to understand the topic you know nothing about. Unless you're dying of some sort of debilitating advanced aging disease like Werners syndrome, that'd be tragic. I mean otherwise you have no excuse for coming into a thread and yelling at people for knowing more about something than you which would be silly.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690710]well I have learned how much of a pompous wanker you are :)[/QUOTE] Then you've failed the "does my argument work against the resident asshole" test. Perhaps if you actually did having something to say other than "stop doing something im not sure the details of but im sure you're in the wrong anyway" you might have been able to respond to my post with something significant, like a counter argument, or evidence. Or like, anything besides "you're a wanker i guess". You sure you dont want to watch those videos? It'd really stick it to me good if you actually came up with a bulletproof argument using facts.

Ghostbusters, more like Ballbusters.

Arguments shouldnt matter on the attitude of the arguee, it should work regardless. Maybe thats why you still havent managed to give me a single point and ive given you multiple posts and 4 videos. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] Multiple points, mind you, which dont even allude to Sony directly forcing people to do something, only riding along social trends. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] By the way, if you actually did watch those youtube videos, which obviously you havent, you'd realize they source Sony's own E-Mails. From Sony. The company that made the movie. Who had their E-Mails leaked. It was a big thing, lots of articles, its kinda how Spider-Man ended up in Cap 3.
The only good thing about the reboot is that they brought back Ecto Coolers. I'd love to try one if they weren't all sold out or being scalped for extremely high prices.

Why is it so hard to believe that people could like the film and not just because of some consipiracy? Why would I have to sit through an hour of some YouTube videos to prove a notion that is obviously very far fetched?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690774]Why would I have to sit through an hour of some YouTube videos to prove a notion that is obviously very far fetched?[/QUOTE] Maybe im silly but i thought in depth explanation on a situation using evidence and examples from the company behind the projects own leaked E-Mails as well as crew testimony and reported history of the proejct would actually mean something. [QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690774]What else do I need to provide? Why is it so hard to believe that people could like the film and not just because of some consipiracy? [/QUOTE] Nobodies saying that. Not that you'd know, you're only here to stroke your own ego, laugh and pat yourself on the back for another good days work telling other people whats right, whats wrong, what to think, not knowing one damn thing about what they're talking about while doing so, without ever considering you might be wrong, or they might have a point. You've skipped a number of my posts, for one, funny, considering the post explaining the actual situation in a logical and reasonable light was the one you rated, then changed the rating of. [editline]11th July 2016[/editline] Maybe i need to remind you. [QUOTE=AaronM202;50689608]You say conspiracy like everyone got huddled around a massive oval table in some board room on the 30th floor of a New York skyscraper, with only a single lamp illuminating the room in such a way that nobodies faces could be seen. The fact of the matter is, Sony took advantage of a recent trend in people trying to appear progressive and trendy by attacking those who would dare criticize or call out women in entertainment media for anything with labels for their Ghostbusters reboot. A reboot produced by a near certifiably bat shit crazy lady named Amy Pascal (who at one point seriously legitimately considered an Aunt May spy thriller for an Amazing Spider-Man tie-in), directed by a man-child name Paul Feig who apparently has misandtrist tendencies to make a politically motivated girl power movie that simultaneously takes a massive dump on a classic franchise who many were excited to get a legitimate third installment of. Even if this movie turned out good, i'd still advise people not to see simply because of how fucking scummy Sony was being about it. I hate to make watching films a political choice but its not my fault if thats how they decided to produce and market this piece of shit.

Again, how does this prove that every positive review out there is a shill? Why isn't it seemingly impossible that reviewers could enjoy the film, or anyone else for that matter? It's not like Fieg has a bad track record.

[b]JUST MAYBE.[/b] The extensive videos adding up to about an hour long might go into detail about that. The very videos you're so desperately trying to find excuses to ignore despite them perfectly summing up the situation and laying all the facts out on the table. By the way, Pauls track record means jack shit. Guy who made Chronicle made Fant4stic. Marc Webb did some good films then fucked up TASM 2 because of executive interference (oh look at that its also by Sony.)
