Just a few episodes, and only for very old movies. Did they ever do any for a recent (terrible) release? Aside from rifftrax, anyway, where they don't have to deal with getting the rights.But, you have seen MST3k, right?

Terrible writing. Questionable performances. Utterly baffling decisions (a superhero movie that spends 2/3 of the running time in a featureless concrete bunker! A literal trophy woman made out of QBert! Eddie Redmayne whisperSCREAMING all his DIALOGUE! Smells Like Teen Spirit! Entourage!) that should get numerous people fired. I mean these are movies that have done measurable damage to careers.I enjoyed watching a few of those. They weren't great movies by any means, but I'm not going to try to take apart the phrase "truly terrible" and discuss semantics and personal taste.
There were movies from the 70s and 80s, does that fall under your definition of "very old?" For example, Space Mutiny came out in 1988 (and I really recommend watching the MST3K version, it's hilarious), and one of the most notoriously bad ones was Mitchell (1975).Just a few episodes, and only for very old movies.

That looks pretty promising, actually. I'm in!
We own that collection on DVD.Space Mutiny came out in 1988 (and I really recommend watching the MST3K version, it's hilarious)
I have a friend on Facebook that felt the same way. And that's okay. I get it. This is your Man of Steel. All I can do is offer you my empathy and hope it turns out better than what you're currently expecting.You know all that stuff you schooled me on Superman.
Yeah... Ghostbusters is my Superman. And this ain't it.
It's just a url paranormalstudieslabs.com obfuscated as a fake equation.Not seeing it..
Pretty much the same for me, come to think of it. I don't see that many movies, so I don't know if I'll make a special trip for it.I don't see many movies anymore so I probably won't see that, but I don't get all the hate for it. I thought it looked pretty funny, and thats a good cast.
And then they'll do a rerelease of Fury Road and that will all go to shit.Pretty much the same for me, come to think of it. I don't see that many movies, so I don't know if I'll make a special trip for it.
I should probably put together a list of definites and maybes for 2016 so I can keep track.
We would've gone again for the Oscar run at AMC!And then they'll do a rerelease of Fury Road and that will all go to shit.
How are they doing a sequel? Did he get a puppy at the end of the first one? Or does he have a cat this time?Not a trailer, per se, but a video of Keanu Reeves training for JohnWick: Chapter 2.

Notice the completely different humor. This is the ONLY racial joke in the original Ghostbusters. Subtle. Funny. The acting is as though the situation is serious, but the audience recognizes the absurdity of the whole thing. It didn't need Winston to be a walking talking, black man stereotype.
The entire idea of Winston having to work as an exterminator is a racial joke. Again, Winston worked in the Airforce as an officer, helped design electrical equipment, is a black belt, and a weapons expert... all stuff that is found in the earlier scripts and made it's way into the various comic series over the years. It's all canon as far as Akroyd and Ramis were concerned. But it's still one of only two jokes that are based on his skin color.Notice the completely different humor.

Yeah but the problem is none of that's in the fucking movie that people actually saw.The entire idea of Winston having to work as an exterminator is a racial joke.

And Ernie Hudson is kind of disappointed about that. Apparently he didn't get the revised script until the day before shooting and it was entirely because the studio wanted to push Bill Murray more. They had been rehearsing it as the previous script for 3 weeks before shooting. After the changes Hudson doesn't get a lot of screen time in the movie (because they wanted Bill Murray on screen more) and it sorta sabotaged his career for awhile.Yeah but the problem is none of that's in the fucking movie that people actually saw.
I kinda got that vibe in the hat and wig bit, but hopefully that isn't the case overall.I'm super tired of Megan McCarthy and I can't stand Leslie Jones, so the movie will be a pass for me. Also, for some reason it feels like Wiig is really phoning it in from the trailer.
The Producers.Can anyone think of a rebooted comedy which was successful?
I feel like retreading the same ground undermines how funny something can be.
I mean sometimes she does that sort of dry sarcasm thing, but that's not what it feels like to me.I kinda got that vibe in the hat and wig bit, but hopefully that isn't the case overall.
Was it just as funny if you had seen the original first?The Producers.
Granted, it was rebooted by the same Director/Producer (Mel Brooks)....
Some parts aren't as good, some are better. Matthew Broderick is no Gene Wilder, though Nathan Lane does his best. Will Ferrell is completely over the top as usual but in a role that actually calls for it, as is Gary Beach. The whole musical bit where they finally put on the show itself is also WAY better in the 2005 release though.Was it just as funny if you had seen the original first?
(I haven't seen it)
They were already talking about doing an "expanded universe" for Ghostbusters... so apparently they had a lot of faith in this. I can't imagine why.As for Ghostbusters, the "dislikes" on youtube now number twice the "likes," and Sony is allegedly deleting negative comments, even well thought out criticism.
I just hope it's not yet another movie where the gags primarily involve McCarthy falling over and Wiig saying something "outrageous." Because I just now looked up the director, and realized he did "Bridesmaids" and "Spy."
