who fucking cares what theyre wearing? what, do you work in the garment district? this is simply a terrible, unoriginal, pointless waste of time and money. why re-make something, and have each character look exactly like a female version of the original? look at the blond’s hair and glasses. what the fuck? why is there a large black woman? why not 2 black people? why would they all be women? why is there a chubby one? could they be MORE formulaic? jesus fucking christ, could they at least TRY to look like they give a shit? i wouldnt see this shit, if they were giving free blowjobs out with the popcorn. fuck this project. fuck it.
The cast is an all-female clone of the original cast. This director likes to poorly remake other people’s movies and use all-female casts so he can claim misogyny when called out on how crap a director he is. The blonde is supposed to evoke the cartoon version of Egon. There is a large black woman because she was on SNL and the director clearly thought of Winston as the Token Black Person (instead of the Everyman and the Audience Proxy). There is a chubby one because that is Melissa McCartney, who is in every movie Paul Feig makes (most likely because she has blackmail material on him).
I have seen far more of this project than you, and I can tell you that your opinion IS SPOT ON. The new proton packs are shit, the new Ecto-1 is shit, the stupid Ecto-cycles are shit, the plot is shit (it was leaked), I’d never heard of ANY of these women before this project started so they can’t be all THAT funny, and the director is playing the fanbase for free publicity.
This movie will crash and burn. First, remaking Ghost Busters is moronic on its face, but also none of these women – funny though they are – are as funny as the guys in the original. Waste of money and time.
What was it about Ghostbusters that made that movie so great?
Was it the rich, sprawling mythology of the ghostbusting universe?
Or was it Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis teaming up to make a comedy in the prime of their careers?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s that second one.
Ever since the cast of the movie was announced, I’ve been playing a fun little game: pick four actors I like at random and see if they sound like a more interesting cast than the one they went with for this imminent flop. So far, everything I came up with sounds better. Go ahead, give it a try.
The outfits look much better once they have the gear on.

Welp, TBH, most of the original cast weren’t exactly perfect 10s either. Let’s say the chubby one is Bill Murray and the mousy one is Dan Aykroyd. Let’s further say that the one with the glasses is the smart, nerdy one and represents Harold Ramis. But! Ernie Hudson was clearly not unattractive by a long shot. Still isn’t; time has been kind to him. So, what is that garbage truck with the Sarkeesian earrings doing there?
No, I’m saying they look like they’re frumpy libraries or office ladies that wear clothing two sizes too large and walk around with vacant stares with their mouths open.
I am interested in seeing this movie, but I am not sure about their new uniforms? They look more like Garbage Men then anything else I am thinking?

you, ah… you’ve seen the original ghostbusters…right? they wore janitor uniforms…
Man…Bill Murray has really let himself go.

Nobody is saying the women aren’t hot enough, they’re saying the idea is stupid.
Sorry, I was confused by the title of the post. You know, “Female Ghost Busters looking frumpy“.
Of course a remake is dumb. Why are we even talking about this? The sad thing is, I’d probably watch it, just to see how much of a trainwreck it is.
