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.

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By fishnet37222 · Posted

      It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
