The fact that trolls are citing the Ghostbusters remake as feminist makes me wanna laugh and cry at the same time.

This movie is going to bomb and it is because of the all women casting.

no.. its gonna bomb regardless of gender because theyre trying to remake a classic the moment bill murray declined to be involved in any sort of remake was the moment film makers should have said hmmm perhaps this is a bad idea.

yes, I agree. Remakes of any classic at best are a bad idea.
Doing it with a feminist agenda? - bad idea also.

is it really being made with a 'feminist agenda' or did the studio just think hey! lets make it with a bunch of chicks seeings how bill wants nothing to do with it?? as far as I see it, casting the leads as females is simply a gimmick... theres nothing feminist about that.

ok, maybe agenda was the wrong word.
But you can't help but scratch your head why the cast is women.
It would be like changing the teenage mutant ninja turtles to women, would people question why? - I think so.
Gimmick works for the word I was looking for but it will bomb because of it.

its funny you know cause for the longest time I didn't consider myself a feminist cause ive always grown up with a strong sense of myself as female and my belief that simply because I didn't have a penis didn't mean I wasn't equal to males. ive never liked labels cause to me that smacks of conformity. I remember being younger(preteen) and being told girls don't play football but you can be a cheerleader. I thought why the fuck would I want to be a cheerleader... I want to play, not watch. talk about disillusion. and I definitely dont want to be shaking pom poms for anyone

It is crazy to think that we still have people who truly believe that women are not equal.
It's sad.

Feminist is not a bad term to fall under. Hell I am one.
Just the rhetoric at times can be too much.
I do know that I wouldn't want a man shaking pom poms for me though

tho I have to say it amuses me no end how threatened some men get when confronted with a woman with strong opinions and convictions. rise up to my level, dont drag me down to yours...

I don't know if it's a cultural or geographical thing for people to regard women as lesser but a woman with strong traits is a breath of fresh air.

there are so many people who are insecure. and theyre preyed upon by others just as insecure under the guise of strength. its a power thing.. perhaps an arsehole thing...

its a cultural thing. its deeply embedded in the history of mankind. woman have been made the scapegoats for a shitload of crap throughout 'history'. all you gotta do is flip through the bible... or note how desperate men are to control female reproductive rights.

No doubt it is deeply embedded.
I have to ask - Are you of the religious folk?
Some men want to control reproductive rights. And to that I say they are not men but inhuman.

tis as if those opposed to reproductive rights want to control something they have zero control over. forcing anyone into an act against their will is slavery.. in this case gestational slavery, pure and simple.


I am not of the religious folk.

Right, as in we're guessing we'll make this amount based off the track record of a couple of the stars we lined up to act in the lead roles. Projected.

I'm slightly interested to know who exactly stated it was with a feminist agenda. Like who attached to the movie makes this assertion.
In fact no I am not. Its a fucking movie. Watch or dont.

I don't see it as feminism.. regressive or otherwise. its just a marketing ploy. wow! look new ghostbusters with WOMEN! are we clever? aren't we being progressive and pro women? no youre not clever and no youre not being clever.. nor are you being pro women. youre thinking remaking a classic with the novelty of women will be enough to draw crowds(women) to the cinema. but I do appreciate you thinking we're stupid enough to fall for it... NOT.

It is a very bad marketing strategy to shove women full throttle into something they shouldn't be.
