What “controversial and offensive plot points”?


Channing Tatum says he wants to remake Ghost and change the “controversial and offensive plot points. The hell is he talking about?

reply

Probably certain parts of Whoopee’s character. Can’t say what, but in there somewhere

reply

Channing Tatum is full of crap. There's nothing offensive or controversial—apart from the supernatural suggestibility. He may be thinking of the referencing to "white guy" on Oda Mae's part was somehow suppose to be offensive or stir controversy but it was a different time where racial segregation often left Blacks the most marginalized minorities in New York City. I think that showed how all Blacks in the movie lived in very low-class neighborhoods.

reply

he never said what the OP claims.

Subway ghost was an advocate for smoking.

reply

You must be smoking something else if you think that.

reply

It was sarcastic.🤦‍♂️

reply

Careful when hitting your head it'll make you even more stupid.

reply

Yeah, I'm afraid I'll get to your level of stupidity. Good advice.

reply

Ah, your the level of stupidity has affected your comebacks as well.

reply

Says the idiot who couldn't pick up on obvious sarcasm. What a fucking tool 🤣

reply

I picked up on it , it just lacked funny because it was done poorly by an uneducated simpleton such as yourself. Adding more to your pathetic personality is the laughing of your own attempted insults.

reply

No, you clearly didn't. Otherwise, your response doesn't make any sense. Nice try, dumbfuck. Watching you backpedal is indeed hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

And youre the one that came on here and started slinging insults. You bet your ass I'm going to finish it, fuckface🤣🤣

reply

That's fine and dandy since you your insults are synonymous with an 8-year old's I mean fuckface? Lmao. And of course you'll finish since you have no life so I'll let you win so you can feel like you achieved something in life.

reply

Hahaha The ONLY reason why you started shit is because you're a fucking dumbass who is apparently incapable of picking up simple and obvious sarcasm. Thats the ONLY reason. Think about that.

That makes you stupid as fuck, no matter how smart you think you think you sound. Everything else is just you trying to save face and failing miserably. Because again, youre stupid as fuck. Lets not overlook the irony of saying I sound like a child and then immediately following it up with "lmao." 🤣🤣🤣 You look like a complete bitch! Hahahahaaaaa!

Lets recap... I was just minding my business and you came along and just had to start shit, for no reason other than you being a dumbass.

What a stupid fuckface.

reply

Lol dude you're making yourself look more pathetic with every response with desperate attempts to insult me but the anger and hurt is showing in your failed insults which also suffer from redundancy. Do you want a tissue little boy? Respond on my cue okay? And GO!

reply

Hahaha again the irony of "predicting" a response in your dumbfuck response that accomplished nothing.

I'll never understand why people think it's some grand insult about responding... while they're You're literally responding on a thread thats not theirs. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️You didn't think that through, did you? Of course not, because you're a dumbass.

Your pathetic attempt to try and salvage the how much you've shown yourself as some asshole dumbass with literally nothing else to contribute to this thread is astounding 🤣🤣🤣

Just a reminder that you're only here because you're an idiot who doesn't understand sarcasm. You'll probably need to get your autism diagnosed.

Here comes a response... and GO!

reply

Now you've reached an ultimate pathetic low by using autism as in insult you must really be desperate for ammo. Remember, your sarcasm failed it came off more as an unwitty joke. Not my fault it wasn't funny. Better get your retardation diagnosed.

reply

Hehehe you managed to do it again! Acting all virtuous and then immediately offsetting it 🤣🤣🤣
What a dumbass.


So again, just a reminder you're only here because you're an idiot who couldn't pick up on obvious sarcasm are failing miserably at trying to deflect. That's literally the ONLY reason you've been here this entire time. Talk about desperate! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

reply

Desperate is you trying to get to me and trying to convince me that you are laughing when really you're crying in your parents' basement trying not to be a disappointment. There's funny sarcasm and poor attempt at sarcasm yours was a poor attempt. Maybe you take after Whoopi a little too much trying to be funny but failing.

reply

🤣🤣 "Crying in your parents basement" HAHAHA How creative! Nobody's ever heard that, ever. Really scraping the bottom of thr barrel there, huh? You must still be using your free AOL chat room discs 🤣🤣🤣

Actually t's amusing that you're still here being an absolute hypocrite.

And apparently, you still need reminding that you're only here trying to deflect that you're an idiot who can't figure out simple sarcasm. That's it. Here comes another lame ass attempt at a deflection... and GO!
Fucking pathetic 🤣🤣🤣

reply

"Subway ghost was an advocate for smoking" not sarcasm you should really consider looking up the definition but try not to hurt yourself doing so. I'm here for my love of the movie Ghost is that hard to comprehend? Maybe I should use crayons. Living in your parents basement wasn't a joke, you really need to look for a job and maybe you'll be successful such as myself I am actually helping you your welcome.

reply

So you really think the only way to take that sentence is at face value, literally?

🤣No, nice try on deflecting your clear and obvious miss. Again.

I shouldn't be surprised, we've already established you're a fucking moron.

Look everyone, I found a troll! How many posts until it's fed?

Talking to imaginary friends now? It must be really lonely in your parents' basement.

Not what your mom said last night looks like you caught blindfolded's retardation we are doomed now.

reply

The only thing either of you two have ever accomplished is working the keyboard and will never amount to anything in the real world.

reply

Tell that to the six figures I make a year and the team I oversee. You're such a fucking jackass!🤣🤣🤣

You really do look like a fucking fool. There is now literally other people wading through all this stupid bullshit on this thread and coming here just to say how stupid you look.
Think about that for a second. And you actually think you're accomplishing something 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The very best you can come up with is "parents basement" and "your mom" jokes. How fucking basic are you?

You know what? Keep it going! It just makes you look dumber and dumber. Fuckng idiot 🤦‍♂️

Look everyone, I found a troll! How many posts until it's fed?

reply

Keep crying little bitch the only figures you make are action figures and lost your virginity to one of them.

reply

Wow

Thats the most pathetic one yet. That was cringe. You shouldve practiced that first. Just trying to help

Hahaha you got fucking owned all over this thread 🤣🤣

And you're doing it by yourself, I don't even have to do anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Look everyone, I found a troll! How many posts until it's fed?

reply

The more you reply the more the pathetic you look with the laughing emoji's masking the butt-hurt humiliation I've laid on you.

reply

🤣🤣🤣HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Whatever you say dude. Keep it going!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Look everyone, I found a troll! How many posts until it's fed?

reply

Hehe looks like your retardation has kept you going you cock-juggling Thundercunt who's only purpose in life is spewing out insults synonymous with an 8-year old girl's.

reply

Look everyone, I found a troll! How many posts until it's fed?

reply

Sounds like he's just talking shit to drum up interest in the project.

reply

They named the bad guy Carl. I find that offensive.

reply

😄

reply

Nothing in this movie was "controversial" and there were no "offensive plot points." He must either be on drugs on living on another planet!

reply

he never actually said that.

reply

"Tatum would potentially fill the shoes of Swayze in the remake, but he acknowledged to Vanity Fair that the new film would be "something different" to avoid some of the now problematic stereotypes in the original."

You're right, he only said "something different", the rest was the writer. We'll see what he meant if he actually remakes the film.

reply

I literally can't remember anything that would be considered problematic.

reply

Me either. There was good and bad - and funny and sad - represented in every ethnic group in this film. Some people just want to stir the pot and see problems where there are none. It's really a great movie.

reply


Are you serious? Everything is controversial and offensive these days.

reply

He never said that, the interviewer inferred it based on nothing. All he said was "I think it needs to change a little bit". Clickbait journalism.

reply

Yep. Original Vanity Fair text:

I press hard on the clay while he tells about how his production company, Free Association, is trying to pull together a remake of Ghost, with him potentially playing the Patrick Swayze role. “But we’re going to do something different,” he says, adding that the original, like many movies of its day, contained some problematic stereotypes. “I think it needs to change a little bit and have our…”


And then cuts off there.
I already gotta deal with stupid clickbait everywhere else on the net. It's annoying as all hell to see it on moviechat too.

reply

couldn't agree more, it seems the shit-stirring politically obsessed types have really been flooding this place. I've been adding key whiners to the ignore list which helps but it doesn't stop the little mermaid and princess Charlotte being on the front page every damn day.

long gone are the days of just chatting about movies thanks to these obsessive losers
