I am not gonna bitch and moan about reboots as I have nothing against them in principal.

I am not going to suggest that Hollywood owes me anything based upon my own personal nostalgic investment in the original movies.

I simply have no desire to watch this.

Exactly. The reason Hollywood does keep making reboots is people are going to watch them, and they're spending good money to do so. Hollywood is a business and making money is the proinciple point of business.

 

I'm also not entitled to anything, Hollywood hasn't directly made me any promises, they don't owe me anything. If they reboot or even if they do a GB3, it takes nothing away from the original two movies (yes, i even enjoyed the second one). Those movies remain unchanged and a great nostalgic treat.

 

All the bitching and moaning could mean that the best movie to ever come out might never be made. It's not to much of a stretch to think it could be a good movie.

We just have to wait and see what happens, and if the movie turns out to be utter crap, then just don;t go and see it.

 

I can see why people get upset, but that;s only because they let it.

Kate and Leslie are pretty good on SNL. Kristen Wiig may be decent if she doesn't go over the top on her acting like she tends to do. Melissa McCarthy however...that one I wish they had avoided...

Just because they're funny in one thing doesn't mean they belong in another.

I don't like that this is a reboot, and I don't like any of these choices for casting.

That's just my opinion, but I have no interest in this film at all now. I'd rather they never make another Ghostbusters than this.

hrmm interesting to see how this one plays out,  a reboot of such a popular classic with a bizzaire all feminine twist;  if this is bad enough it might shock Hollywood into easing the break peddles on all these unnecessary reboots.  Alternatively at the other end you can also imagine the critic narrative being hijacked and any negative commentary on this or comparisons to the original must mean you hate women zzz.

Going to watch it ion the theater just to spite all the hateful asses here and everywhere else

 

Cast looks OK, not sure why suddenly you all hate funny ladies, would prefer an original story tho. But if Murray is still attached to the project, it can't be all that bad

At this point Murray is a bad joke himself. In reality this whole movies existence is probably credited to Murray trolling someone and it then getting turned into a real idea.

Faith in humanity gone :(
I was looking forward to this with the original cast 'passing the torch' to a new generation of Ghostbusters, but this plot, this cast? Im sorry but no. And they doing a reboot thats even worse :/
What happened to Dan Ankroids script? Im guessing that got trashed in favour of this version. 
I wont be watching this at the cinema, and the stupid would be lucky if I downloaded it once it hit torrent sites either. I will give this one a clear, wide birth.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
