Actually, nope-I won't. Don't really feel like risking a warning again for name calling. Thought about it, and I'm redacting the post I just made and going out.

I must have missed that. Has any Dakka poster attacked the vast majority of people on Dakka who think the trailer looks like crap?

You can't because it hasn't happened here. I'd love to see where in the last 7 pages some poster called another one sexist, or racist, or... some other ist, because they didn't like the trailer.
"Righting wrongs that don't actually exist".... yes, precisely so. But not the way you said it.

Also, I just reread all seven pages of this thread and couldn't find a single instance of anyone calling anyone else racist or sexist, unless I'm missing something that Timetowaste sees that I don't.

No - that was cleared accredited to "tumblr", right in the post. Timetowaste said "some of the posters on here". I re-read every damn page of this thread, and this has not happened here, but far be it from facts to interrupt a good martyring.

Wouldn't it be a twist if in this film, Walter Peck were right, and the Ghostbusters really were spending all their time fighting beings that aren't really there, poisoning the environs while trying to convince the world that these unseen enemies were the real threat?

This is not an M. Night Shyamalan flick. I think a ridiculous twist like that is thee one thing that we do not need to fear.

A twist? I'd call it fraud. A degree of slight of hand is inevitable, but I draw the line at tricking your audience into seeing a movie that they would not have willingly watched. If somebody pays to watch a Ghostbusters movie, they have the right to expect it to be a movie about ghosts and the busting thereof. Betraying that trust isn't even clever - you can only do it because other, better filmmakers have spent decades accruing the goodwill that you're spending on your con.

LoL. That would be awesome Dark- since this one appears to have a ghost maker, I'm hoping for the OGs to make an appearance as ghosts. Ghost Ghostbusters. And possibly one or more of the new ghostbusters gets zapped and turned into ghosts- sort of a show your true colors thing- if this occurs, I'm betting its the mad scientist one.

It's interesting that the story leaks contain a little insight into the views of the cast and crew. Seems there's a pretty negative feeling around this picture from within and without. It was pointed out to me, that none of the lead actors have come out in support of the trailer on Twitter or Facebook.
Pinch of salt of course, but considering Sony just unceremoniously dumped the guy in charge of marketing this movie, I think it's a safe bet that the studio are very nervous about how this movie is going to perform.

The actress playing Patty has spoken out in support of the movie. I don't know about the others.

Leslie Jones has come out in defence of her character a lot. - Maybe not the trailer as such.
The writer of the novelisation has tried to say some non-NDA-ey words about it to try to say, "there's more to Jones' character than the stereotype shown in the trailer."
For example, the guys who do a movie show I watch mentioned that Jones' character is shown to have a History Degree somewhere. They also point out, in New York, a Subway driver earns 80k, someone in a history related field, maybe about 60k.
They're not saying that's going to be a thing, but it could be. And so, have that all as some kind of metajoke that might make it redeemable to some people.
Still not a fan of it myself but I'm willing to watch it on TV if it ends up not being utterly dire now, whereas earlier I was more "nope, not at all."

To be honest I've never figured out why people even liked the originals so much, it's always something that came off as being incredibly meh to me. So when I see people moaning about the new one I kinda scratch my head. As somebody who never "got" the appeal of originals it looks like more of the same to me.
I think Mc Carthy is usually pretty funny in her other movies, but don't think that will be enough to make this watchable.

So rumor I've heard is that the youtube comments are being edited, and not in the way you might think.
Again haven't looked myself because that would mean digging through youtube comments, blech... but apperently Sony is supposedly deleting only criticism that is NOT sexist and racist.
So posts like "This looks really bland."get deleted while "Fish tacos ruin everything!!!1" gets left up.

Keep in mind that in NYC, cost of living is a huge issue, 80K in NYC gives you about as much disposable income as making 35K in Austin TX, 45K in Portland, or 50K in LA & Boston.

Yes, but the point is still that it wouldn't be ridiculous to have someone with a postgraduate education ending up as a train driver instead, for a 33% pay rise.
I don't know. I like the originals, but a lot of the objections to this new film could have been levelled against them too. On the other hand, I'm not sure I like the tone of this new film. It feels like they're telegraphing the gags more in this script. I though Saturday Night Live had a better reputation than that, or was that back in the 80s?
