Apparently Aykroyd is going to be a Executive Producer who is going to work closely with Feig on the script. He's also optimistic about an actual Ghostbusters 3 ... I guess take it for what it is.. with a grain of salt. 

I remember I watched old cartoon called The Real Ghostbuster.... Janine Melnitz decided to help her Ghostbuster teams too, because she wanted to save them too.

 

As a Proper Ghostbusters
 

She is most commonly been seen wearing a pink uniform when she was playing the part of a ghostbuster. She can be seen wearing a uniform in the following episodes:

Executive producers typically only get their name on the poster to add credibility to the movie, with little if any input outside of maybe getting to see some work in progress previews. and maybe a lunch date with the producer.

Not in this case, He said it himself he was going to work with Feig on the script in an interview.

Casting a male receptionist seems like a great move. It's basically flipping the dominant ideology on its head. If they add a relationship between him and an older woman it would be icing on the cake.

Still stupid blatant pandering

 

The movie can still be good, but they decided to do this latant pandering before they even started on a script, and then they make a script to fit their idea of pandering to this group... bah.

It's no more pandering than to have a male cast and a female receptionist, it's just that that is the established norm. Unless people challenge the status quo it will remain the same.

Except it is. especially when you consider who wrote the script for the original one. They just wrote a script. For this new one they first decided that they are going to have all female cast and a male receptionist and then wrote a script around that.

 

one isn't pandering the other is.

You can call it pandering, I can call it social progress.

Social progress would be to make a story and let the story dictate casting, not dictate casting based on super feminism(no regular feminism isn't giving women more right then men or giving them quote jobs or stuff like that)  and then make the story based on casting dictated by that again. that's pandering.

 

Had the team been 50/50 (which is also stupid,  if it's 50/50 because of quota but anyway) then I could agree it would be progress, but it would only be progress if you assume the original movie was cast as all male because they thought women was weaker which wasn't at all the case. hence it's stupid pandering. 

 

I like some of the cast at least so there's still a chance it'll be good, but I say the movie would have been better if the script would have been written without being forced into pandering to the SJW's and if the team had been mixed. The opportunity for interaction would be so much better then.

How do you know that isn't the case? I wasn't aware that the script had leaked.

 

At the end of the day we have countless movies that have had all male casts and women in supporting roles, so I don't see any problem with turning the tables. If this movie is 'super feminism' then every movie with an all male cast is 'super misogyny'.

Even if it is, it won't be the same without Egon  :(

 

If they wait to see the success of this one to make a 3rd it won't matter anyway they will all be dead. To say they are waiting is just nothing more than wishful thinking. To make this movie anyway as I said with the cast they have is a slap in the face to those that love the Ghostbuster movies. Tired of Hollywood ruining my childhood.

I'm not gonna go see it. I'll stick with the first two. I don't really care for reboots either except F13 2009.

This sounds more and more like Bridesmaids 2 with a few ghosts thrown in. Who's going to pay to watch that crap? Hell I wouldn't even waste my bandwidth torrenting it.

And when it fails commercially, which it will almost certainly do, perhaps Hollywood will get the message to leave identity politics out of movies. Though I won't hold my breath.

    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
