Yeah, those dang dirty male trolls rating this masterpiece down!

'Female demos even out at 5.2'

Even better, the highest rating it got on average among females was 5.8.
Hardly Citizen Kane.

but the critics were paid off to give it high praise!
 
A friend of mine saw it and stated that it wasn't bad so much as unspeakably boring with fuck all happening most of the film.

I'll do my own research when the Korean bootleg guy comes around the shop next week.
 
So this movie is pretty much Mighty No. 9 with ghosts. Are the feminists trying to make us cry like an anime fan on prom night or something?

Seeing that it seems to be averaging a 5 based on non-critic reviews, I can easily buy that it's just a painfully mediocre movie. Which is especially bad when it's suppose to be a comedy.

I just want a movie with a strong black woman who does not have the current means or resources to cope with the current situation followed by a reaffirmation of the previous statement

in summary:

nah, she cannot handle this right now. nah uh.

I know you're just joking, but years ago, I watched "The Women of Brewster Place". I'd definetly reccomend it.

Has anyone on Tumblr posted about how disliking the new Ghostbusters is literally rape yet?

No that ilk is likely too busy crowing about how the reviews aren't bad at the mo.

I know the pros on the CA forums are doing that at the mo, although most of the Anti stuff seems to be more trying to wind people up rather than genuine anti feelings.
 
You're going to love this, Kiwis.

That big thing about people being angry that the Ghostbusters movie is opening to positive reviews?

Well.... Read on.

As reported by Karl Quinn of the Sydney Morning Herald, there was a post made by a troll on /r/Ghostbusters that was intended to false-flag critics of the movie and make them appear foolish. The user's post history indicates that this person is in fact a supporter of the movie. It is also the case that the thread was heavily downvoted and criticized by the members of the sub who commented at the time.

omg they're paying off critics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Even if the movie itself isn't too bad I worry that the way they handled their PR was too concerned about cutting off their noses to spite their faces rather than really trying to reach out to the general movie going population.

Good, bad, meh I don't care. I just hope that if this does flop it'll be a lesson about how to handle online criticism in a more productive manner.
