Ain’t Nobody Got Time For A Female Ghostbusters!

Yesterday, director Paul Feig reacted to the backlash against a proposed female Ghostbusters by calling concerns ‘vile, misogynistic shit’.  Paul doesn’t seem to want to realise that nobody wants to see a female Ghostbusters.  Shit, quite a few are pissed about a male reboot, let alone this cynical piece of lucrative propaganda.

The sun set on a real third Ghostbusters when Harold Ramis died, hell even before that.  The cast was looking old as shit and if it did manage to be made before 2010 at the latest, chances are it would’ve sucked.  There’s a reason there hasn’t been a Ghostbusters movie in 25 years – there is no good idea for one.  If there was, Bill Murray would’ve signed on.  Anyone remember when the whole thing was converted into a video game a few years back?  It sucked, the game that is.  Most people who bought it were purchasing the name.

Talk of a reboot was bad enough, but this shit is even worse.  I hate it for several reasons.

First, I don’t like to talk politics too much here.  But the west is ebbing further by the day to the hard left and this shit is just a symptom of that.  Deranged leftists, such as Terry Crews, want ‘rights’ given to women that aren’t so much rights but ill-earned luxuries.  If men achieved something, then women must also be given the same roles and titles. Because you know, uh, ‘me too’ and stuff.  The idea that there are were never female Ghostbusters (like there was never a female Napoleon, Rommel, Henry Ford…) because they aren’t capable, is simple unthinkable to ‘progressives’.  In fact, you could technically call it a thought crime by today’s standards.

Women aren’t funny

There’s only one type of bust that’ll work here

Which leads me to the second thing I don’t like about this movie.  Women aren’t funny.  Mostly anyway.  There are less female comediennes than there are comedians.  This is not because the sexist man is keeping the embattled woman down.  It’s because they can’t hack it.  Melissa McCarthy, Kirsten Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.  I don’t know who these people are, but they are the new Ghostbusters.  I envisage 100 minutes of cringe and try hardism.  Screaming, talk about aesthetic nonsense and other non-funny crap.  I certainly don’t expect the nuanced deadpan delivery of Bill Murray’s level.

Another reason why nobody got time for this, it’s being put out simply to draw in a buck.  Hell Ivan Reitman practically admitted it!  “We want to expand the Ghostbusters universe in ways that will include different films, TV shows, merchandise, all things that are part of modern filmed entertainment. This is a branded entertainment.”  Gee Ivan, anything else?  How about Ghostbusters-branded fillings for our fucking teeth?  The man seemingly couldn’t resist salivating over the contracts on the table and the idea of whether or not any of this would actually be any good or worthy, doesn’t even come up.  Nice respect you’ve got for the cows, uh, fans, there, Ivan.

Now, before anyone bitches about sexism or too much negativity here.  Let us consult a real Ghostbuster.  Take it away, Ernie Hudson.

“I love females. I hope that if they go that way at least they’ll be funny, and if they’re not funny at least hopefully it’ll be sexy.
