True. Did you see Get Carter, The Italian Job, The Host and Brick Mansions? Terrible remakes of great films. Before long we’ll see a terrible remake of The Shawshank Redemption, and these days would probably be all-female and re-worked to be about intersectional feminism.
2016, SNL thought it was the pinnacle of comedy and wanted everyone to raise their eyes to stare at it's glory...2021, it's the proven bargain basement/bin of funny.
People like Melissa are truly ignorant. They believe that as long as they stand for approved “good things” they can say whatever dribble they want. People like her will spout tons of hate, approved hate, but will only focus on anyone who says anything that is deemed unapproved hate.
Sure 5 years ago the approval would get you ALL the great reviews and media to protect you. But right now, most fans long walked the other way and the media and movie reviewers lost much of their power. We know that Rotten Tomatoes has NO VALUE. They can post a 10/10 it means NOTHING to most people anymore.
Thank you I completely agree with you it’s like if you don’t like any of her movies then naturally you’re a male and then that makes you an masogynist tyrannical dinosaur. No Melissa I just hate you because you use any fad woke movement to prop up and further you’re own ‘in my view’ pathetic sad excuse for a career every film you do is the same the true test of an actor is to branch out and be a chameleon to take risks isn’t that the definition of insanity doing the same thing and expecting different results.
I’m pulling even harder for the success of “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” If it is a good movie and is successful, then this woman will look even more out of touch with reality.
No, they won't, they'll just push more racism and sexism against the "white male patriarchy" and Hollywood will listen to them. It's a never ending cycle.
Gender-swapping a franchise has no market. Flipping a concept can work. Bridesmaids was a rip-off concept from The Hangover, but at least never took over the Hangover brand. I don't see gender-swapping Mean Girls or Maid in Manhattan ever working.
dont hold your breath. its gonna be almost purely computer graphics. so its likely to end up like a kids cartoon. it wont even have cool 80s music. i imagine the only nastalgic thing will be the siren on ecto 1. i can listen to that on youtube anytime i want. anyone can.
I truly appreciate your honesty and being frank about people who are in the process of "modern-day" reboot/remake/reimaginings..THOSE PEOPLE say that they're doing it for OUR benefit (black people),and I have to constantly explain to my non-GenX peers that I DIDN'T ASK FOR OR NEED THIS SHIT!!
I've never heard anyone say that remakes/reboots are for the benefit of black people except for folks who wanna boycott movies for replacing fictional white characters with fictional black characters. I don't believe you're black. You created a bogus account so you can Candace Owens your way through the comment section of TH-cam videos. Nobody asks for ANY movies, which is why movies have marketing budgets. Stop saying this redicoulous phrase.
I forgot this movie exists just like Valkyrie in the MCU cause she was a terribly written character that suffers from the *Marvel disconnect* where they fail to capture the core aspect of the character for the sake of the MCU.
@@Wolf_3125 you're not missing anything. Play the 2009 game, that's the 3rd movie. That 2016 turd is to Ghostbusters, what Turkish Star Wars is to the original 3 Star Wars. And Turkish SW is still better than the disney abominations, as well as that steamer they plopped out in 2016.
"baffled that reboots and relaunches are wrong" I bet it would get a whole lot less baffling for her if they started rebooting and relaunching her films.
@@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy Unfortunately, she's got enough of a fan base. A bunch of her movies have done really well with even her Netflix movie Thunder Force getting high ratings. One of them, The Heat with Sandra Bullock, got s**t on by most critics but still quietly and slowly made over 100 million, overtly surpassing its budget (bigger movies were coming out around it in 2013, and The Heat was even rated R, constraining its audience). It's weird those fans didn't turn out for Ghostbusters. I thought maybe it'd be one of those movies that would still flop but be a fairly high earning flop instead of being a straight up flushed turd failure that Sony regrets in hindsight. Supposedly, the director Paul Feig is banned from the Sony lot. He didn't even wanna make it at first, he only gave in when they bugged him for the 8th or 9th time. They thought he could make another hit like Bridesmaids.
@@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy No, I just meant the fans of her other comedy movies. Where her other movies had done so well I figured they'd support gb2016. She was part of an ensemble for Bridesmaids and she had worked with the director repeatedly. Her fans may not have liked the original Ghostbusters while fans of the original Ghostbusters felt like gb2016 reminded them of the George Clooney Batman movie, treating the whole idea as a joke, offending the fans of the original (besides the whole "if you don't see this, you're a misogynist" rhetoric for gb2016).
@@davidcatlett4052 you really overestimate her fans. Yeah she has fans but ive known a few people that liked her in the past before she became a protected property however once her image changed so did many peoples opinions of her and it will continue its downward trend.
When we go to the movies we want to be friends with the movie characters, we want to relax with them and have fun with them. We don’t want to be scolded by the characters, lectured by the characters, and criticized by the characters.
When it comes to reboots and remakes, Ian Malcom said it best... "You were so concerned about whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think whether you should."
I think thats why they coopt other peoples stories and then bastardize them. Because nobody buys their original stuff, because their original stuff is garbage. So, what better way to get a quick buck than to take that garbage and insert it into something thats already popular? Hence the absolute state of modern "entertainment".
No you're just taking a giant turd on a popular childhood franchise by A) Doing next to zero research on the source material and B) Not giving a damn about the true fans and appealing to only lefty snowflakery wokeness.

How brain dead is her entire line of reasoning? “There cannot be any legitimate reasons why anyone might not like my movie, therefore any person that does not like my movie must be motivated by ideas that are considered morally repugnant in today’s society. I will continue to deligitimize all criticism of my film with these accusations despite no other evidence to support my claim. I will continue to do this because it benefits me personally and I don’t care about the social repercussions that others may suffer from my labeling them as bigots.”
Exactly. People tend to forget there are really good reboots and remakes out there of films, yet they are never mentioned when it comes to this discussion because they contradict the message that doing a reboot/remake is a bad idea. Look at the Dark Knight trilogy as an example. It's a reboot of the Batman series, universally beloved, and yet it's never mentioned in videos like this because it contradicts the video creator's ideology on the subject.
Even a movie like the rebooted total recall and the relaunch of blade runner showed improvements in quality and presented their own interesting ideas. GB2016 is a movie I skipped and until I saw this come up, had not remembered existing for a good half a year or so. And I did skip it intentionally. The bad trailer sealed it for me but I remember the first time I heard about it, all the news article talked about was that they were doing a ghostbusters reboot 'but with women'. Nothing else, no story beats, no interesting plot points or reasons why, just that idea; ghostbusters but with women.
Reboots or remakes in the 70s-90s to bring films from the black and white area made a lot of sense, and many of them were done well. However most now are nothing but a money grab and of poor quality with the main intention of retaining the trademarks of a franchise before they expire.
I say constantly: the only way to really get at these woke clowns is by hitting them in the wallet. And their wallets REALLY hurt after Ghostbusters 2016. And you should never cease kicking a wallet when its down.
Hollywood is a woke cult preaching to the cray cray 10 percent of the pop. its cringy and stupid but worse of all we all get really bad nonsensical movies.
I remember Beverly Hills Cop and Terminator in the same theater playing on different screens at the same time. Or Raiders of the Lost Ark in the Theater and a number of years earlier the Original Star Wars. watched them all in the Theater on their first run. Now, I wouldn't waste my Time going to the theater, As the Critical Drinker says They are more interested on pushing "The Message" rather than giving you an entertaining story. We really need a Site that rates a movie based on how much nut job ideology has poisoned the story. The only thing we have now, is Professional Critics outing themselves with their own reviews, I know if the score is low and there is complaints about not tackling enough "social issues" or even worse not enough "Representation" in the story, there is a good chance that the film may actually be good.
@@bigk24 well, that's the point, I don't want to be bombarded with trash political and social messages in my entertainment. "The Message" is for weak morons.
@@mattkhourie4037 YEAH! have a "Wokameter" that shows how much lazy, loser, leftist ideology has ruined a particular movie. and a picture of a Venezuelan eating the family pet while being beaten by the police to show how much Socialism is being pushed in the story-line. That would be hilarious and informative at the same time!!!
haha indeed! Movies that the critics and the blue check marks on twitter freak out about, are more than likely good/great flicks. They ones they love are full of brainwashing propaganda.
That photo of her at 0:33 has such a fake smile, it looks more like a grimace. Reboots of classic 80s films are stupid since they think lightning is going to caught again, but never happens. It's like the idiotic idea of redoing "The Lost Boys", as I've heard is in the works. Why? The sequels were trash and so will be the remake. Gladly, early sneak viewings of "GB: Afterlife" have been quite positive, so say goodbye to "GB 2016", which shouldn't have even happened, more so comics. I've never found McCarthy funny, just annoying.
and will rather kill us all then admit that we are right that there stuff failed horribly in every way shape and form and will rather die then admit that they were wrong that there stuff always fails.
The only thing good that came out of Ghostbusters 2016 is when they re-released Hi C Ecto Cooler for that movie and I bought a bunch of them to give out to Trick-or-Treaters.
With a few choice edits, it should have been slotted with Sabrina: The Teenage Witch with Melissa Joan Hart and Rugrats to fill a gap and it would have still been only worthy of direct-to-dvd at bargain basement level rather than be worthy of an actual cinema release.
"If comedy isn't funny it's a failure" - very true words, and this is definitely (IMHO of course) where 2016 dropped a custard. OG Ghostbusters was never set out as a comedy - watching it again at the weekend, the humour is there in the film to act as a tension breaker it was never forced, and wasn't really pushed to the forefront of the film, so what you have his action/horror with some science and a couple of laughs. 2016 ignored this, and the results are obvious. OG Crew: Venkman - comic relief, unwilling believer Spengler - the straight man, scientific Stantz - the eager child Zeddemore - realist, working joe, the audience's character in the film 2016 Crew: So unremarkable I can't even remember their names or personalities, and I'm not having such filth in my imdb search ;)
Ghostbusters 2016 was patient 0 of the “let’s shit all over the fans because we know better” movement. I distinctly remember Melissa McCarthy going on Jimmy Kimmel and calling people that criticized the movie just “basement dwelling man trolls” to applause and hollers. That was the beginning of that movement
I smiled so hard when I heard her make the comment, because at that moment she legit cost the studio n producers millions upon millions of dollars since those “basement dwelling man trolls” are the ones spending money to see the film
@@rickyaz8640 No not at all. Lucas set out to tell an entertaining story, and Jar Jar Binks was merely a silly character, totally harmless. A big difference between the Prequel trilogy and GB 2016 is that the former had complete respect and reverence for their original films whereas as the latter viewed their previous films with utter contempt. An even bigger deference between the 2 is that Lucas never disrespected his critics and fans, while the GB2016 crew smeared all their critics and fans as sexist trolls, no matter how valid their criticisms where. The Prequels were never and have never been a problem. GB2016 will always be patient 0.
I don't know. What about Robocop 2014? Discard everything that made the orginal great and throw everything away. We were able to save the arm. OCP is supposed to be ruthless enough and heartless enough to remove that part of Murphy also. The satirical adverts sets the tone for the movie or an insight on what was coming up, such as when Boddicker stole a 6000 SUX.
It's not that reboots and remakes are inherently wrong or bad, 1983's Scarface is a remake, but that nobody in Hollywood is capable of making one right. People don't want to see an inferior, forgettable version of a product they like filled to the brim with woke political commentary and chin-wagging lecturing from some asshole director with a superiority complex.
Same with Harrison Ford's "DOA" is a remake of a 1949 Film Noir classic. Ford's is every bit as good as the original. If you really think about it, almost every story is a reboot of Shakespeare or ancient stories.
It's because of this rubbish film that the IMDB deleted all of its forums, dealing a crippling blow to the voices of movie-goers, because its makers couldn't deal with the massive blowback of VALID criticism. I dare say that the IMDB forums were the most globally centralized hub for discussing films, television, and actors, and in 2016 Hollywood realized this made it too easy for the general public to point out the _copious_ amounts of absolute garbage being pushed as "entertainment," so they took steps to silence voices under the pretentious guise of "stopping trolls" while applying unfounded labels on any critics. In a way, removing the forums was an act of suppressing free speech. The most common defense for this miserable film was to call its detractors misogynists, but guess what, Mr. Plinkett made a review pointing what a catastrophe of film-making this was without once commenting on the sex-swapping of the characters: th-cam.com/video/AHUV8QLpEAc/w-d-xo.html
To play devil's advocate, the problem with the "trolls" isn't necessarily that some folks just don't like a movie. Remember when people were trying to give Black Panther bad ratings BEFORE it even came out and saying they refused to see the film in theaters to attempt to hurt its box office sales? There are people that go out of their way to spread negativity whether we admit it or not. Now that the furor has died down I personally would like to say that Aquaman was CRAZY overrated and I distinctly remember people going out of their way to over-praise the hell out of it because they were mad BP was getting so much critical respect and breaking box office records. Now, you'll NEVER hear from those people because Chadwick Boseman died. You think anyone wants to look like the jackass talking down on the BP franchise now?
"Making their interpretation" So basically creating an Original work inspired by a piece of art? The common reason It's a reboot instead of an original IP is purely for exploiting a preexisting fan base.
"A comedy that isn't funny isn't a comedy--it's a failure." That has the simple profundity of all great maxims. Although it does make me wonder: what is a comedian who isn't funny? I mean, obviously, she's a failure, but is she also, perhaps, the possessor of some really nasty blackmail photos featuring Hollywood executives? Lacking a soul, having sold it to Satan in exchange for a career? Or maybe she's just the world's greatest saleswoman, and the aforementioned Hollywood executives don't realize she's not funny until 3/4 of the dailies are in, and it's too goddamn late to do anything about it now? To ask it different way, how does someone with no sense of timing, wit, or comedic energy end up staring in multi-million dollar comedic movies? My idiot cousin's fart jokes are funnier than anything or anyone in "GB 2016."
Mike and molly was kinda solid. Thats where i discovered her. I have yet to see bridesmaids or gb2016 but did watch her and jason bateman as superheroes on netflix and the happy time murders. When she has a good writer she has solid comic chops (as with all comedians). She is a decent actress when she isnt doing ‘funny’.
@@rubix4195 that’s how I’ve always seen my deliberate attempts at writing comedy. Granted, when i say “writing is easy”, i thoroughly mean writing in all genres except comedy; comedy is THE HARDEST genre to write because you have to top each joke/situation per page. All i have to do is keep my characters fighting baddies and my writing is pretty well done for the day.
@@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy Christopher Nolan said the same thing about good comedy being hard to write (to him). He said he liked the comedy show Eastbound and Down with Danny McBride.
@ Hatuletoh - Most of the comedies McCarthy has made have actually done well financially. It's just people really like simple humor (big woman fall down LOLZ!) not to preach, I enjoy stupid spoofs but I respect they're not the best in comedy writing. Sorry to sound like I'm defending her, I've hated her complaining about fans as well I'm just trying to be evenhanded about how her talent has been perceived and to play devil's advocate. She's been twice Oscar nominated, one for comedy (Bridesmaids) and one for drama (Can You Ever Forgive Me?). May not mean much to a lot of people. I lost a lot of respect for the Oscars for a few past nominations.
The reason why I hate this film is simple you take out all the real life experiences that happened to Dan Aykroyd with the paranormal and the attention to detail he wrote into the film with are all historically accurate mixed perfectly with the comedic timing of Bill Murray counted with the Sublime straight man of Harold Ramis plus the wound up too tight Ernie Hudson the film is a instant classic. Now flash forward to the train wreck of a thing that was clearly trying way too hard to be relevant and with it and inclusive and also doing it’s best to not offend anyone but in the end did exactly that and more over those of us that were able to watch the whole film by the end of it were scratching our heads over how a monstrosity of a film was able to get the green light. But that’s just me 😁
I dont think you got Winston's character right. Ray is the one who is wound up and tight. Winston is the everyman. A quote from Winston: "If there's a steady paycheck, I'll believe anything you say." Does that sound like someone that's wound up?
It was "lightning in a bottle" and studios still think that with enough monkeys, money and typewriter's, the monkeys locked in a room with the typewriter will be able to churn out the complete folio of Shakespeare for the modern age.
@@TheSpawnfan Dude, he is a straight up walking, talking paranormal geek. Some of the things you hear / see in Ghostbusters are based on actual research, books, facts and stories he knew about the paranormal investigations in the 19th to 20th century. Like when Peter Venkmen quizzes the librarian, that's based on a script that asylym psychologists used to ask in regards to patients who said they were 'posessed' . All the historical information that sets the scene in Ghostbusters is pretty much based on Ackroyd's input in the initial stages.
Some of my favourite films are from the 1930s & '40s! And they are of their time. There's no need to dig up the bones of the people who made them, just to cancel those people for "wrong think" and not using millennial "new speak". They're fine just the way they are, and they don't need to be funted with by these tw@t$.
Well Jeff to answer your question, yes, Darth Vader is the most iconic Star Wars character. The reason I say that is because you don't even have to see a Star Wars film to know that the iconic breathing, the "I am your father" line and the robotic futuristic samurai look all originates with Darth Vader. People just need to hear those sounds and see him to know "Ah, that's Darth Vader."
As I'm frequently being recommended sources of entertainment about 100 year old or getting close to that, I can totally relate with the idea of liking stuff made way before I was born. Even a lot of the newer stuff I get into usually draws heavy inspiration from that era as opposed to emulating the garbage that passes for entertainment today.
My parents (in their 70s) and I have been watching movies from the 30s and 40s lately. Clearly before my time and mostly before their time. A lot of them are great and really well crafted. My Man Godfrey is now one of my favorite movies.
There's a big difference between 2016 and Afterlife. The 2016 film tried copying the original, but those involved had no clue what went into making a Ghostbusters movie. Sure, there was comedy in the original, but it felt way more natural and flowed better with each scene rather than having the character scream like banshees in an attempt to get a laugh out of people. Afterlife, at least judging by the trailers and interviews, actually seems to respect the original two movies and seeks to continue it while passing the torch. Are the references a bit heavy handed? Yeah, but other than that the movie just looks like I fun time. It gives me a Stranger Things/Goonies vibe, which I really like. My only worry is that they're reusing Zuul and Gozer rather than coming up with a brand new enemy. It could work out perfectly fine, I just like it more when continuations give the new characters their own unique villain rather than an old one from the original.
When I hear "Star Wars" I first think of the image of a very sad Mark Hamill on a press tour. Sometimes other things will pop-up after but Disney took a series about Hope and ruined it for money.
agreed, it isn't too often that the sequel(s) is as good as the first movie, and prequels are even worse, with the rare movie actually adding to the story around the first movie.
The fact that she still can't see... after five years... that Ghostbusters 2016 is a lifeless, joyless, spectacularly unfunny abomination should tell us just how talented and deserving she is to be making movies. It's the Special Olympics of comedy filmmaking.
Add for any Melissa McCarthy movie… Voice over guy speaks “This summer, Melissa McCarthy stars in another Melissa McCarthy movie where she plays Melissa McCarthy in a Melissa McCarthy movie. Yes it’s the same as the last moviewith the same jokes, but your mother likes her and you will watch it.”
Honestly remakes and Requels should only be made in order to maybe take advantage of new technology and new guidelines or to give fans something better. Not an interpretation but a adequate story.
When you mix “Corporate Greed, A Stupid Studio Like SONY, & a Bad Ideology like Modern Day Feminism” you get the CRAP WOKE REMAKE MOVIES we see today!!! Hahahahah Great Line Bro 😂
As a friend of mine said back in 2000, he only cares about the first Halloween movie because all the sequels sucked and he later told me he felt the same way about the remakes.
7:45 well... I forget how the convo started but my fiancee said "is that why you don't like the new Star Wars?" And I said "no, they are ok" she said "when we watched it in theaters, you said you hated it" then I remembered the new Star Wars because I thought she meant the prequels. Lol
It seems to me that when an artist of any type can't or won't take criticism of their work they are Finished!. It's being humble enough to except criticism, recognize errors, and make adjustments that helps someone my a great film, book, etc .
A shame that folks in Hollywood can’t make something new for their messaging rather than doing horrible things to pre-existing IPs. The Babylon 5 reboot has me more than a bit nervous considering all the luck of having the episodes’ stories, actors/actresses working well with each other, costuming, special effects and music syncing up. That it is a Warner Brothers product on the CW…. Why am I envisioning another “Batwoman?” I really hope that I am wrong.
I saw all the classics in their original theatrical runs as a kid/teen back in the late 70s and 80s and it was glorious and magical. I feel sorry for all the kids growing up in this suck ass P.C.woke century. Being an 80s kid rocked.
Totally agree 👍 If you do dare to watch Ghostbusters 2016. It's so bad. All you want to do at that point is watch the original Ghostbusters movie. So you can cleanse yourself from the slime 🤮🤮
Ghostbusters 2016....I really liked it.Swear to God.It was funny. It's not 1984 great ,but I enjoyed it more than the 1989 sequel.BTW I was the only person in the theater opening night. And Like Sheldon Cooper ,the absence of other people made me feel like watching it at home....that being said .These bitches need to move on.I didn't want a female version , I knew it would be a flop, because all they did was hate on the fans of the original.And because of their WOKENESS THEY WENT BROKE.
In the defense of Babylon 5, it’s still the original show leader making it and he wants to use the lessons that he learned over time for his passion project
The original cast of babylon 5 were gold. Rebooting babylon 5 will be like rebooting OT Star Wars. One can argue that Battlestar Galactica is a good reboot, but I argue that original was never complete allowing the reboot to take the story in a different drection.
I'm 20 and I still have my old toy box that I had since I was 6. I never wanted to get rid of it since I had all sorts of memories of hiding inside it when the world got annoying or when I was just bored. Now it's got a TV sitting on top of it and there's still some old toys in it.
I think, with a good script, a 4th Back to the Future could have been pulled off, with Marty's son from 2015 winding up in 1985, and you could have tied up the one loose end in the movie, Jennifer being left in alternate 1985. A good script is the key though. Writing today isn't as good as it used to be.
There are freshly caught fish, dead fish on ice, dead fish laying on the side of a road, rotting fish on the side of the road. But this situation is pretty much that even the BONES are long gone! 5 years, the movie failed HARD And Sony decided the only way to say the IP was to try again and side track the 2016 version. Not the first time a movie or series was side tracked because it didn't go well. So yeah this movie is dead, this IP might be able to safe itself if the upcoming movie is good. Nobody expects the quality of the original but hey this new thing might be GOOD.
Back to the Future is how to do things right. I’m hoping to see the West End show in London soon, as I know that the franchise will always have utmost respect for its history. It’s part of why people love the 80s after all, along with the incredible new wave synth pop of the era.
It is a 100% certainty that if it weren't for the clauses in the contracts of Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, there would have been a 4th Back To The Future by now. ANY studio would sell all of their employees into human trafficking to have the chance to make a Back 4.

It's weird those fans didn't turn out for Ghostbusters. I thought maybe it'd be one of those movies that would still flop but be a fairly high earning flop instead of being a straight up flushed turd failure that Sony regrets in hindsight.

Reboots and relaunches are not the problem, the quality of the production (script/cast/direction) matters. GB2016 was just plain not good.
Exactly. People tend to forget there are really good reboots and remakes out there of films, yet they are never mentioned when it comes to this discussion because they contradict the message that doing a reboot/remake is a bad idea. Look at the Dark Knight trilogy as an example. It's a reboot of the Batman series, universally beloved, and yet it's never mentioned in videos like this because it contradicts the video creator's ideology on the subject.
@@john-ericcervini3179 Halloween 2018 was also good, and he skated over that as well.
Even a movie like the rebooted total recall and the relaunch of blade runner showed improvements in quality and presented their own interesting ideas. GB2016 is a movie I skipped and until I saw this come up, had not remembered existing for a good half a year or so. And I did skip it intentionally. The bad trailer sealed it for me but I remember the first time I heard about it, all the news article talked about was that they were doing a ghostbusters reboot 'but with women'. Nothing else, no story beats, no interesting plot points or reasons why, just that idea; ghostbusters but with women.
Reboots or remakes in the 70s-90s to bring films from the black and white area made a lot of sense, and many of them were done well. However most now are nothing but a money grab and of poor quality with the main intention of retaining the trademarks of a franchise before they expire.

"If comedy isn't funny it's a failure" - very true words, and this is definitely (IMHO of course) where 2016 dropped a custard. OG Ghostbusters was never set out as a comedy - watching it again at the weekend, the humour is there in the film to act as a tension breaker it was never forced, and wasn't really pushed to the forefront of the film, so what you have his action/horror with some science and a couple of laughs. 2016 ignored this, and the results are obvious.
OG Crew:
Venkman - comic relief, unwilling believer
Spengler - the straight man, scientific
Stantz - the eager child
Zeddemore - realist, working joe, the audience's character in the film
2016 Crew:
So unremarkable I can't even remember their names or personalities, and I'm not having such filth in my imdb search ;)
Ghostbusters 2016 was patient 0 of the “let’s shit all over the fans because we know better” movement. I distinctly remember Melissa McCarthy going on Jimmy Kimmel and calling people that criticized the movie just “basement dwelling man trolls” to applause and hollers. That was the beginning of that movement
I smiled so hard when I heard her make the comment, because at that moment she legit cost the studio n producers millions upon millions of dollars since those “basement dwelling man trolls” are the ones spending money to see the film
Lucas was patient 0 with the prequels. Jar Jar Binks is the Anti Christ of culture
@@rickyaz8640 No not at all. Lucas set out to tell an entertaining story, and Jar Jar Binks was merely a silly character, totally harmless.
A big difference between the Prequel trilogy and GB 2016 is that the former had complete respect and reverence for their original films whereas as the latter viewed their previous films with utter contempt.
An even bigger deference between the 2 is that Lucas never disrespected his critics and fans, while the GB2016 crew smeared all their critics and fans as sexist trolls, no matter how valid their criticisms where.
The Prequels were never and have never been a problem. GB2016 will always be patient 0.
I don't know. What about Robocop 2014? Discard everything that made the orginal great and throw everything away. We were able to save the arm. OCP is supposed to be ruthless enough and heartless enough to remove that part of Murphy also.

It's not that reboots and remakes are inherently wrong or bad, 1983's Scarface is a remake, but that nobody in Hollywood is capable of making one right. People don't want to see an inferior, forgettable version of a product they like filled to the brim with woke political commentary and chin-wagging lecturing from some asshole director with a superiority complex.
Same with Harrison Ford's "DOA" is a remake of a 1949 Film Noir classic. Ford's is every bit as good as the original. If you really think about it, almost every story is a reboot of Shakespeare or ancient stories.

It's because of this rubbish film that the IMDB deleted all of its forums, dealing a crippling blow to the voices of movie-goers, because its makers couldn't deal with the massive blowback of VALID criticism. I dare say that the IMDB forums were the most globally centralized hub for discussing films, television, and actors, and in 2016 Hollywood realized this made it too easy for the general public to point out the _copious_ amounts of absolute garbage being pushed as "entertainment," so they took steps to silence voices under the pretentious guise of "stopping trolls" while applying unfounded labels on any critics. In a way, removing the forums was an act of suppressing free speech.
The most common defense for this miserable film was to call its detractors misogynists, but guess what, Mr. Plinkett made a review pointing what a catastrophe of film-making this was without once commenting on the sex-swapping of the characters: th-cam.com/video/AHUV8QLpEAc/w-d-xo.html
"Trolls" the word that lost all of its meaning thanks to the Wokes
To play devil's advocate, the problem with the "trolls" isn't necessarily that some folks just don't like a movie. Remember when people were trying to give Black Panther bad ratings BEFORE it even came out and saying they refused to see the film in theaters to attempt to hurt its box office sales? There are people that go out of their way to spread negativity whether we admit it or not. Now that the furor has died down I personally would like to say that Aquaman was CRAZY overrated and I distinctly remember people going out of their way to over-praise the hell out of it because they were mad BP was getting so much critical respect and breaking box office records. Now, you'll NEVER hear from those people because Chadwick Boseman died. You think anyone wants to look like the jackass talking down on the BP franchise now?
"Making their interpretation" So basically creating an Original work inspired by a piece of art? The common reason It's a reboot instead of an original IP is purely for exploiting a preexisting fan base.

"A comedy that isn't funny isn't a comedy--it's a failure." That has the simple profundity of all great maxims. Although it does make me wonder: what is a comedian who isn't funny? I mean, obviously, she's a failure, but is she also, perhaps, the possessor of some really nasty blackmail photos featuring Hollywood executives? Lacking a soul, having sold it to Satan in exchange for a career? Or maybe she's just the world's greatest saleswoman, and the aforementioned Hollywood executives don't realize she's not funny until 3/4 of the dailies are in, and it's too goddamn late to do anything about it now? To ask it different way, how does someone with no sense of timing, wit, or comedic energy end up staring in multi-million dollar comedic movies?

By far, the most eloquent and amusing rant I've heard in a good while! Excellently done.
The reason why I hate this film is simple you take out all the real life experiences that happened to Dan Aykroyd with the paranormal and the attention to detail he wrote into the film with are all historically accurate mixed perfectly with the comedic timing of Bill Murray counted with the Sublime straight man of Harold Ramis plus the wound up too tight Ernie Hudson the film is a instant classic. Now flash forward to the train wreck of a thing that was clearly trying way too hard to be relevant and with it and inclusive and also doing it’s best to not offend anyone but in the end did exactly that and more over those of us that were able to watch the whole film by the end of it were scratching our heads over how a monstrosity of a film was able to get the green light. But that’s just me 😁
Wait, Dan Aykroyd had real experiences with the paranormal? interesting
I dont think you got Winston's character right. Ray is the one who is wound up and tight. Winston is the everyman. A quote from Winston: "If there's a steady paycheck, I'll believe anything you say." Does that sound like someone that's wound up?

Well Jeff to answer your question, yes, Darth Vader is the most iconic Star Wars character. The reason I say that is because you don't even have to see a Star Wars film to know that the iconic breathing, the "I am your father" line and the robotic futuristic samurai look all originates with Darth Vader. People just need to hear those sounds and see him to know "Ah, that's Darth Vader."

As I'm frequently being recommended sources of entertainment about 100 year old or getting close to that, I can totally relate with the idea of liking stuff made way before I was born. Even a lot of the newer stuff I get into usually draws heavy inspiration from that era as opposed to emulating the garbage that passes for entertainment today.
My parents (in their 70s) and I have been watching movies from the 30s and 40s lately. Clearly before my time and mostly before their time. A lot of them are great and really well crafted.
My Man Godfrey is now one of my favorite movies.
There's a big difference between 2016 and Afterlife. The 2016 film tried copying the original, but those involved had no clue what went into making a Ghostbusters movie. Sure, there was comedy in the original, but it felt way more natural and flowed better with each scene rather than having the character scream like banshees in an attempt to get a laugh out of people. Afterlife, at least judging by the trailers and interviews, actually seems to respect the original two movies and seeks to continue it while passing the torch. Are the references a bit heavy handed? Yeah, but other than that the movie just looks like I fun time. It gives me a Stranger Things/Goonies vibe, which I really like. My only worry is that they're reusing Zuul and Gozer rather than coming up with a brand new enemy. It could work out perfectly fine, I just like it more when continuations give the new characters their own unique villain rather than an old one from the original.
When I hear "Star Wars" I first think of the image of a very sad Mark Hamill on a press tour.
Sometimes other things will pop-up after but Disney took a series about Hope and ruined it for money.
Apart from Star Trek 2009, I can't think of a reboot that worked. It respected the original, acknowledged it and retained the original feeling

If Hollywood does a remake of Babylon 5. I am going on a rampage that will make Killdozer look like a kids story.
Honestly remakes and Requels should only be made in order to maybe take advantage of new technology and new guidelines or to give fans something better. Not an interpretation but a adequate story.
That moment when bill murray’s ghostbusters reenactment in zombieland is more popular than an entire remake
When you mix “Corporate Greed, A Stupid Studio Like SONY, & a Bad Ideology like Modern Day Feminism” you get the CRAP WOKE REMAKE MOVIES we see today!!! Hahahahah Great Line Bro 😂
Not watched series or movies since 2016. Not even pirated Ghostbusters 2016. Gladly.
You have taken the words in my head & given them an upgrade! So spot on!
You’re wrong, Jeff. The Matrix ended in 1999.
Frenchie was a good bad guy and Monica Bellucci was hot AF, but the sequels otherwise sucked donkey balls.
@@muznick yeah but The Matrix Resurrections will make the sequels look like masterpieces
@@moviemetalhead More likely than not.
I was gonna comment this exactly
As a friend of mine said back in 2000, he only cares about the first Halloween movie because all the sequels sucked and he later told me he felt the same way about the remakes.
All this does is make me still not regret my decision to turn my back on what Hollywood considers "comedy" years ago.
7:45 well... I forget how the convo started but my fiancee said "is that why you don't like the new Star Wars?" And I said "no, they are ok" she said "when we watched it in theaters, you said you hated it" then I remembered the new Star Wars because I thought she meant the prequels. Lol
It seems to me that when an artist of any type can't or won't take criticism of their work they are Finished!. It's being humble enough to except criticism, recognize errors, and make adjustments that helps someone my a great film, book, etc .
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was AWESOME!
It's Sad they Still Care After All the Money Burned
If there's on thing I learned from watching Robocop...Don't burn the F**king MONEY!
A shame that folks in Hollywood can’t make something new for their messaging rather than doing horrible things to pre-existing IPs. The Babylon 5 reboot has me more than a bit nervous considering all the luck of having the episodes’ stories, actors/actresses working well with each other, costuming, special effects and music syncing up. That it is a Warner Brothers product on the CW…. Why am I envisioning another “Batwoman?” I really hope that I am wrong.
A say it now. B5-reboot will be black/transgender Minbari. And the vorlons all female. They should leave B5 alone. It is my favorite series.
Woke bayblon 5. A series where alien races all basically distrust each other..
I saw all the classics in their original theatrical runs as a kid/teen back in the late 70s and 80s and it was glorious and magical.
I feel sorry for all the kids growing up in this suck ass P.C.woke century.
Being an 80s kid rocked.
I actually got an ad before this video. It was a tampon ad.
(Period jokes are freakin’ hilarious, come at me)
She's a "BIG" part of the films she's in... 😉 I see what you did there!
“Requel” I like it.
And that bit about the old toy box really brought back memories.
"A cashless soulgrab"... Wouldn´t that technically be Shang Tsung?
Your soul is mine. But your wallet is yours.
@@Rezzanine 😄✌
Thanks to Ghostbusters 2016, we get Mr. Plinkett's review of Ghostbusters 2016. Totally worth it.
Mr. Plinkett wants to send you some pizza rolls! 😂
I lived through all of the 80s. It was fuckin awesome.
I was born when it was already in progress but I caught most of it, and I'm glad I did.
Totally agree 👍
If you do dare to watch Ghostbusters 2016.
It's so bad.
All you want to do at that point is watch the original Ghostbusters movie. So you can cleanse yourself from the slime 🤮🤮
Ghostbusters 2016....I really liked it.Swear to God.It was funny. It's not 1984 great ,but I enjoyed it more than the 1989 sequel.BTW I was the only person in the theater opening night. And Like Sheldon Cooper ,the absence of other people made me feel like watching it at home....that being said .These bitches need to move on.I didn't want a female version , I knew it would be a flop, because all they did was hate on the fans of the original.And because of their WOKENESS THEY WENT BROKE.
"Melissa McCarthy is usually a big part of her movies"
I see what you did there ;)
In the defense of Babylon 5, it’s still the original show leader making it and he wants to use the lessons that he learned over time for his passion project
The original cast of babylon 5 were gold. Rebooting babylon 5 will be like rebooting OT Star Wars.
One can argue that Battlestar Galactica is a good reboot, but I argue that original was never complete allowing the reboot to take the story in a different drection.
Sometimes you get just the right actors to do the work and has the right charm that can’t be recreated
True Story: I've actually seen surplus copies of Ghostbusters 2016 gathering dust in DVD bins at Dollar Tree.
Who still buys DVDs?
@@crowtservo I do. I prefer to buy physical copies of my movies. But not Ghostbusters 2016. That is not welcome in my collection.
I'm 20 and I still have my old toy box that I had since I was 6. I never wanted to get rid of it since I had all sorts of memories of hiding inside it when the world got annoying or when I was just bored. Now it's got a TV sitting on top of it and there's still some old toys in it.
I think, with a good script, a 4th Back to the Future could have been pulled off, with Marty's son from 2015 winding up in 1985, and you could have tied up the one loose end in the movie, Jennifer being left in alternate 1985. A good script is the key though. Writing today isn't as good as it used to be.
2:56 Finally! A millennial worth his weight in gold. Thank you for having the balls to state the obvious.
"anytime she opens her mouth, a ham flies into it."
lul XD
There are freshly caught fish, dead fish on ice, dead fish laying on the side of a road, rotting fish on the side of the road. But this situation is pretty much that even the BONES are long gone!
5 years, the movie failed HARD
And Sony decided the only way to say the IP was to try again and side track the 2016 version. Not the first time a movie or series was side tracked because it didn't go well.
So yeah this movie is dead, this IP might be able to safe itself if the upcoming movie is good. Nobody expects the quality of the original but hey this new thing might be GOOD.
Back to the Future is how to do things right. I’m hoping to see the West End show in London soon, as I know that the franchise will always have utmost respect for its history. It’s part of why people love the 80s after all, along with the incredible new wave synth pop of the era.
"Fat, ugly, and angry is no way to go through life"
It is a 100% certainty that if it weren't for the clauses in the contracts of Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, there would have been a 4th Back To The Future by now. ANY studio would sell all of their employees into human trafficking to have the chance to make a Back 4.
That snout! That SNOUT!!!
Why did the media even had to ask such a question to her that was five years ago?
Real question is can the media get over what happened in the past?
This is the 1st time I've ever seen one of your videos Jeff & all I can say is well done young man. This is video is well articulated and your point comes across clearly, thank you. I'm subscribing now & look forward to more.
Great Freaking Job
To paraphrase Dr. Ian Malcolm, Hollywood is so preoccupied with whether they could reboot a franchise, they didn't stop to think if they should.
"everyone knows her" I only know her from GB 2016, never heard of her before or since (she isn't popular in my country).
Remember when the access media dogpiled on AVGN because he said he's just going to straight up not watch Ghostbusters 2016?
Yes! I made a similar statement and I’m happy to say that I’ve stuck with it. Still haven’t seen GB2016 …….and I never will.
