The echo chamber I referenced is referring to an overly eager embrace of any comment bashing the movie or attacking any viewpoint that lends credence to the idea that the fanboy reverence for the original film is silly and pathetic, which it is.

Way to call me or on making non-specific arguments by generally attacking my grip on reality, though. Really strong.

1. You agree with most of my opinions.
2. I never embraced bashing comments, eagerly or no.
3. I never said anything about reverence for the original film
4. You nevertheless accused me of erecting an echo chamber of shitty takes.

Yeah, reality is a bit of a problem right now for you.

And the '

and enjoy the movie' was in response to your continued strident insistence on micro-analyzing every aspect of the tedious shitstorm surrounding what will probably be a shitty forgettable movie.

I said repeatedly that most 'naysayers' are merely rolling their eyes at the perverse marketing by playing gender politics and name calling critics.

Enjoy the movie or don't, just stop focusing on this like it's MLKJ's I have a dream speech or the Gettysburg address.

This is pretty weird. You attacked me before I brought up an 'echo chamber' but now that's your only defense? I never accused you of anything. I originally commented in this thread because it was already full of really awful takes and I thought I'd weigh in. (Terrible idea, I know) You reasonably countered some of my points and I conceded that. I made a couple points of my own and you nonsensically blasted me. My echo chamber comment was simply highlighting the fact that all I did was buck the trend of blind hate and what it got me was baseless flaming from you. For someone who seems to have an incredible amount of pride in being the moderate, reasonable POV, you sure fly off the ****ing handle.

I didn't attack you, I just asked to to shut up and enjoy the movie if you plan to.

It was a general expression of boredom with manufactured outrage and conflict, not an attack.

And I apologize if I misread your initial reply. Here you seem to indicate that the thread as a whole, perhaps all of the internet, was the echo chamber of shitty takes you were referring to. It seemed to me at the time that you were accusing me of erecting an echo chamber of my own [without detailing how] in lieu of criticizing me directly. I have been reasonable in my opinions, IMO, and your dismissal seemed blithe and unmerited. Again, if I misread, sorry.

I guess I'll respond to the edit, now.

Still don't give a shit about the movie, really. Just detest the vitriol based on media hype and fan boy butthurt. I do, however think that it's bullshit to act above the fray when you can't stop posting on a thread about some sci-fi comedy reboot.

Fair enough. And to be honest, I probably won't enjoy the movie. I'm a pretty big fanboy hater myself. I just prefer to know what I'm hating on.

I'm not talking about the movie now. I'm explaining myself. Now I guess I apologize for the ineffectiveness of my prior apology.

I personally dislike her comedy style. I'm also having a hard time believing she is a box office money machine. Do you have any annual rankings to back this up?

Richard Roeper - ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot a horrifying mess - 1 star

Quote:

“Ghostbusters” is one of the worst movies of the year for multiple other reasons, including:

Bad acting.
Uninspired directing, editing, cinematography and music.
Cheesy special effects.
A forgettable villain.
A terrible script.

Far too often female comedians and female-led comedies are unfairly shit on, but Melissa McCarthy is an absolute hack. Her entire schtick is based around people's desire to make fun of obnoxious fat people.

Take her SNL appearances. She has some all-time quality sketches, but those sketches where she just gets gross with food is abysmal.

For instance, this scene kills me every time

Part of what's funny is, she's the one in the right about what the other two are saying, and she's probably right about them being for credible on looks. . . . then she straight loses her shit and I'm dying.

The outtakes aren't bad either.
