I remember when it came out imdb deleted critical posts. Like Jones is not funny, but she is very racist.

It's because liberals feel they can do no wrong, so when someone points out their hypocrisy, they quickly cover their tracks and pretend it didn't happen.

They should have made a better movie.

The problem was never an 'all female' Ghostbusters, contrary to what the alt-right idiots were saying. The problem was a poor script, substandard direction, a complete lack of originality with everything from the ghosts to the film's marketing logo, and an overly absurd and goofy tone that failed to ground the supernatural theme in something approximating the real world, in contrast to the 84 and 89 films.

The first instinct of the far left is always to punch down. Leslie Jones is a multimillionaire. She used her privlidge to have basement dwelling critics deplatformed from twitter. Yet she will still always be the victim in your mind. No matter how bad the movie was, no matter how intentional it was.

"The first instinct of the far left is always to punch down"

What the heck are you talking about? That's the first instinct of the political right. For men to punch down at women. For white people to punch down at people of colour. For straight and cis people to punch down at the LGBTQ community. For the able-bodied and mentally well to punch down at the physically disabled and mentally ill. And, yes, for the rich to punch down at the poor.

None of those things you said even remotely factually represent society today. People lose their jobs and get death threats at even the smallest slight towards any if those groups you mentioned. Where have you been?

[–] Frogarama (12942) 5 years ago

Lol @ Burk lying again, pretending that the "Right" is flawless.

Pathetic.

[–] kaze (349) 5 years ago

Frog don't you have some liberal copypasta lies to go spread somewhere, where you get completely dismantled and run away tail between your legs again?

What dick move?.The movie was bad.She should own up to it like an adult and let people move on.Instead of childishly whining about it like it's the audiences fault that it was bad.

That she-Wookie is an affront to humanity.

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8451) 5 years ago

I saw this yesterday. What a cunt.

Maybe she should should recognize that her film lost money and is regarded in the industry as a bomb. Films like that typically don't get sequels, which is entirely sensible.

[–] MickyMac (2997) 5 years ago

And she isn't particularly a huge draw at the box office.

[–] MickyMac (2997) 5 years ago

Nothing that I know of. She's was probably only cast as you said a for being a woman, being black and being in Saturday Night Live.

Similar problem with the new Charlie's Angels none of the actresses are huge box office draws.

[–] tom8 (3006) 5 years ago

well, a woman ...... they overlooked that part, and said: okay that will do

[–] TandyMan (10667) 5 years ago

Well she got her first lesson that Hollywood isn't a fair place and only money matters.

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Yes that’s Hollywood

[–] Otter (24464) 5 years ago

I rather like her, because all the worst assholes on the internet hate her. If you can judge people by the quality of their enemies, she's a wonderful human being!

That said, she's being a twerp here.

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

So she writes a tweet expressing hate against both the new movie and trump supporters, and that makes here a 'wonderful human being'.

Quite interesting how hate becomes something good, desirable and even wonderful, provided it's aimed towards the 'right' people.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 5 years ago

"Quite interesting how hate becomes something good, desirable and even wonderful, provided it's aimed towards the 'right' people."

I agree, seeing the OP labeling Jones an illiterate racist is intolerable hate....

Oh wait a second, you didn't bother addressing that. Only Otter. WEIRD!

=)

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

Actually, that she is barely literate is a fact. You only need to check some tweets to realize that.

Racist? If we apply the modern über-sensitive meaning of the term, she fits.

So that label isn't hate. That label is factual. You consider that stating the truth is hateful? Well, as you wish.

[–] tom8 (3006) 5 years ago

lol..... that is just the left wing tards in a nutshell

[–] Thrillhouse (1509) 5 years ago

No you don't think she's being a twerp. You're lying. You think she's being righteous. What did you expect by having her critics silenced? That she wouldn't be emboldened? They weren't criticizing her for no reason. You knew that.

[–] Frogarama (12942) 5 years ago

Stop dictating others' opinions, trolling child.

Nobody gives a shit if it's all male cast or all female, it's not like 2016 GB is a cult favorite. When it's an all male or female cast people tend to make it a point but it was never a point in 1984/89.
