- how I read any complaint about MST3k (or Star Wars or Ghostbusters)

I've been insisting that this could still be a good movie. Could I be wrong? Well, I was hella wrong about last year's Fantastic Four. Still cleaning the egg off my face after that.  :P

Much like Run DMC's contribution to the second, I doubt it's going to be the actual theme.

Well nobody can accuse this one of sounding like Huey Lewis and the News.

I stand corrected.

I can't believe you guys are still assuming this isn't going to be a good movie. How about you go see it just to support all female casts? How about you go see it, so your daughters and nieces can feel proud being a female from a super popular movie that ISN'T Frozen?


I just....you are all saying that the movie doesn't look funny....but you are all men! If open-minded men won't even watch it whether it is good or bad or will anything ever change?

Also, if the women cast were four Megan Fox-types, I bet the attitude toward this movie would be different.

Anais is the Coolest Butterfly I know  ;D

I'm seeing it for sure, and I hope it's great.

I agree on this point. In fact, I'm really surprised and impressed that they didn't just hire the women on their looks, and that they are still in the unflattering jumpsuits.

But the jokes in the trailer just are (mostly) not funny to me. Which has nothing to do with gender.

I'm seeing it, and I'm looking forward to hearing what my neice thinks. She and her brother were already big Ghostbusters fans.

I like Paul Fieg, I like the cast, I know trailers for comedies are tricky as hell and often alternate between failing to capture the tone of the film and spoiling all the parts you'll care about. In the end I'm just going in and hoping for the best. If it sucks, I'll have lost a couple hours and a few bucks. If it works I'm way ahead.

I probably will go see it. Unless the reviews are really bad from the people that I trust.

I think Kristin Wiig looks amazing in this movie. Really looking forward to seeing it. :)

Kate McKinnon looks sexy in it too. And if she's playing the Egon type character as I think she is, I'm going to have a confused boner.


Pak-Man

I'm gonna be there opening night.

Even if this movie is a total bust, I can go to Toys R. Us and pick up a movie-accurate Egon figure for a decent price. Or a Hot Wheels Ecto-1. There are awesome blind-packaged mini-figurines that I intend to get all of. I can get Ecto-Cooler from the store. There's gonna be a new Ghostbusters cartoon that may or may not be awesome. It feels good to see the no-ghost symbol popping up all over the place. I'm a happy Ghostbusters fan already.
