Would you please define critical thinking as you understand it, in that case?

I'm having a very hard time understanding how it is that you can maintain the view of him as its poster child while apparently recognizing the lack of sound reasoning behind so many of his claims.

Everything is a cash grab.

"cash-grab" is that what you mean by the hyphenation? I can see it now.

I thought the new Ghostbusters was alright. Loved McKinnon in it.

Ooh, pegging. Tell me more...

I didn't wanna see the new Ghostbusters because it looked like heavily CGI-ed garbage. Same reason I won't watch Mawky Mawk and the Transformers Bunch.

I do like most the nu-Ghostbusters cast, though. Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones are a big part of modern SNL actually being watchable.

And yes, the fact that they recast the Ghostbusters as wimmin is the one and only reason for the massive backlash from fuzzy's friends. Nobody cared so much when they recasted Terminators and Robocops with Blandy McBlandersons. And those movies sucked, too.

Seriously fuzzy, it was your kind who got so up in arms about the whole thing, feel free to answer for your community here.

You could make me a mod though. I've been on here for ages and will do nothing to abuse my mod powers. I am basically the best poster, also.

I liked the new ghostbusters

Thought it was kickass esp. in 3d. New weapons were a good idea; the shoot/trap routine was getting stale. It was also funny. It was true to the spirit of the original. It was joyous and the visuals were fun and cheesy

i just hate how our copyright culture has to endlessly reuse the same franchises & ideas because if someone tried to pass off "female buddy comedy about women who hunt supernatural phenomena" as anything but ghostbusters it would have been killed by lawyers

Yeah, but if anything, it probably forces more creativity ultimately and creates a lot less confusion. Without it, we'd be flooded with thousands of Asylum-level knock-offs of the five most popular properties and not much else.

As many shitty remakes and reboots as there are, I do believe it could be worse.

Agree with this for sure. We're at the point now where we are nostalgic for nostalgia.

I read they are remaking Cronenberg's The Fly (a remake in and of itself). Like, fuck you so hard. That movie was and still is fucking perfect. You can't best it, so don't even try.

one of the reasons i think fuzzy is fake is how expertly he spins the ghostbusters 2016 outrage to be about "beloved franchises" and stuff

A movie with an all female cast would never get made at all with a budget of 144 million without the brand recognition.
