Her frustration is justified.  She has the acting range of all 4 original actor put together.  

You misspelled "ass-width."

Actually, one of the few good things about part Two is it relaunched Peter MacNichol’s career. 

Survey says....That was Ally McBeal

Questionable sentiment.

Reboots of movies driven by the actors themselves don't make much sense.  Ghostbusters was funny because Bill Murray was funny and the other 3 plus Moranis, Sigorney Weaver, Peck made good enough sides.  Why would we think this movie will be any better than any other comedy made by spares?  Ghostbusting itself isn't inherently funny.

Sorry, I watch "Veep", not "Ally McBeal"...but sorry you wasted so many hours of your life watching a show that wasn't funny.

I hope they make them all women. Or female self identified.

I didn't watch Ally McBeal jackass, that was just the show that revived his career....not Ghostbusters 2.  If you're going to try to be an asshole and least pick the right fucking moment.

Did Ally McBeal start that long ago?  I swear Ghostbusters 2 came out first.  I'm getting old.  

Anyway, I wonder if this is enough for Rick Moranis to get back to live action movies again.  I completely understand why he left acting, but this would be a wonderful way to return as his children are grown and the world is a little sadder without Harold Ramis.

That is a lucid, intelligent, well-thought out argument.

Hollywood is now going to remake Caddyshack as a starring vehicle for Leslie Jones and Howard from The Big Bang Theory.

They are going to have to dig one big gopher hole for Leslie Jones 

Leslie Jones seems to be taking the news pretty well

Reminds me of WNBA players complaining they don't get paid like the NBA. WNBA games don't make money. Her Ghostbusters movie lost money. Bill Murray movies make money. Leslie Jones movies lose money.

maybe if she and her friends hadn't shat all over the legacy of the original, reitman wouldn't feel the need to make this one.

Edited by BigOrange1

Her comedic acting chops were finally respected and completely solidified by the jocular tour-de-force that was the Ghostbusters reboot...and now hacks like Bill Murray, Jason Reitman, et. al. are going to crap on her legacy just months before the next round of Mark Twain award voting?  Bullshit I say, bullshit!  

I don’t see any actors bitching every time Spider-Man or Batman gets rebooted. 

Were we to just ignore the original two (plus video game) once this last one came out?

she got paid for her role. That’s the end of it.

I can't believe they made Ghostbusters with Leslie Jones.  As though Bill Murray dint count.  "Gonna redo ghostbusters, better with women, will be huge."  So annoying.  Such a dick move.

Jesus christmas.  The female reboot wasn't all that bad, kind of dumb but watchable.   Leslie Jones needs to shut the hell up, she was the weakest link of that movie.  They better  find some solid comedic actors to pull this off, and have them take part in the writing.  I hope it doesn't become another SNL reunion movie though.   Good lord, what if they do something dumb like cast Chris parnell, Andy sandburg, Keenan Thompson and someone else like Seth Rogan.   

She seems bitter. I think you take a roll like that knowing people are skeptical and many don’t see the need to remake classics or do sequels, especially decades later with a different cast.  To be successful, the movie should be awesome. It may need to be better than the original. The Star Trek reboot comes to mind. I find it hard to believe she looked at the script and believed this was a high quality reboot.

The funniest character in that movie was Hemsworth and he’s not a comedian. Not a great sign.

Didn't see Ghostbusters 2020, but have seen Hemsworth in all the Thor movies. He's a good comedic actor. The writers in the Marvel series morphed the character some to accommodate those skills. I think it may be tougher for a stand up comic to act than for an actor with good timing to do a comedy role. I know Dangerfield had a tough time in Caddyshack, cause he had trouble adapting to not getting laughs. I think they made so many of his scenes in front of a crowd so he could get a reaction during the take.

Questionable sentiment.
Ghostbusters starring goats?

I'm gonna have to agree with MK on that one.

LULZ.  Just about all the remake had to do to make money was plaster the Ghostbuster's symbol onto the screen and throw in a scene with slimer.  And Leslie Jones is going to complain?  The WNBA analogy is spot on.

That eyeliner she has caked on in just about every picture seriously looks terrible.

Never have watched the second. Seriously doubt I ever will.

She isnt in this movie unfortunately.

Interesting. Come on, Paul Rudd is in it. 

 

Okay, this looks good.  Much better than the last one.

Like that it’s an actual continuation of the 1980s films.  

who the hell is the intended audience?   10 year olds?  it is even a comedy?  let's say this twinkee represents how shitty the previous ghostbuster reboot was.  according to this preview, this movie would be . . .

Strong work overreacting to a trailer.

The first one was a bit of a dark comedy as well. Bunch of failed or odd characters watching the end of the world. I'd also hope there is quite a bit of humor saved for the actual movie. Granted lets not go overboard like they did with the all women reboot (failed humor at that).

I'm interested.  Got the Stranger Things vibe to it.  I understand I won't love it as much as the first 2 and that's ok. 

Going in with an open mind and fingers crossed.
