Feminist “Ocean’s 11”

1. Wow movie actors! Ghostbusters charged big bucks to see TV actors that sucked so badly, I never watched them on TV.

2. Don’t mock Feminist Ghostbusters unless you’ve seen it. And because no one has seen it, no mocking. BTW Ocean’s 11 is a tribute to the acting ability of George Clooney.

3. Next up, an all-female version of the events of Yeshua and his talmidim.

4. Women want to see hot men in movies, not hot women. Men want to see hot women in movies, but want their action heros to be men. Spending hundreds of millions making bad movies isn’t going to change this.
   Hollywood has been out of ideas for a very long time.

5. The destruction of western culture is a big part of the marxist agenda …

6. Magnificent Seven.

7. Why do a re-make of a re-make? Oh, I forgot, it’s Hollywood, a place where original ideas go to die.
   What’s next? “Laurie of Arabia”? “Dirty Harriet”? “Gone With The Wind” where Scarlett’s the one who walks out, leaving Rhett, portrayed as a 19th century metrosexual fop, blubbering in his soy latte?

8. You forgot 12 Angry Women.

9. I’m waiting for the transgendered version of “The Longest Day”, before I go back to the movie theaters.

10. I find it hilarious that the Hollywood women complain about pay inequity, and the old boys environment but the only movies they are making are remakes or take offs of movies already done by men. Try some originality and you might get somewhere.

11. Agreed. How many of the cast of the lady Ghostbusters were also cast members of Bridesmaids? One story old, one story original. Guess which one made money.

12. Does this mean that Disney will finally produce a film showing a father in a positive light ? Will they finally create, a pudgy, awkward-looking, clumsy heroine who wears flannel to cover it all up ? Isn’t Hollyweird gonna BUST … ALL … the stereotypes.

13. “Gone With The Wind”
    was that about a female farting contest?

14. This is so f***ing retarded, there have been dozens if not hundreds action movies with female leads and none had a problem with it. The reason this $hit is being made, the reason ghostbusters got raped, the reason Mad Max ended up being bitch of a handicapped dyke (you know she was a dyke, yes you do) is spite. Nothing else but spite, and the idiots are surprised those movies flop. Fine by me, let them sink more and more funds into crap none wants to watch. When the enemy makes a mistake it is rude to interrupt them.

15. Someone once asked Stanley Kubrick what one needed to make a good movie. His answer was that the first thing one needed was a good story. Hollywood hasn’t had one in ages. I’m waiting for the all-female version of “The Bridge on the River Kwai”. How about “Dr. Chicago”? Haven’t been to the cineplex in ages.

16. Could be on to something there – with enough silicone, it could be “The Magnificent Fourteen”…

17. I loved the “feminist” Lesbian Star Wars scene where the really, really, LARGE Jabba the Hutt Lesbian kept Princess Leia on a dog collar and chain. THAT was a great feminist, lesbian, scene wasn’t it ? That chick, Jabba was too big to even wear the flannel … but did sport quite a FUPA !

18. Another movie I won’t watch, keeping my record of not throwing money at the Hollywood cretins intact. Remakes switching an all male cast for an all female cast is the obvious admission that feminism is an utter failure. Women cannot tell their own stories, so they’re reduced to stealing men’s stories. I’ll respect women once they stop trying to be men with tits and a gash.

19. “BTW Ocean’s 11 is a tribute to the acting ability of George Clooney.”
    The Leftist Hyper EnvironMentalist? I stopped buying his movies when he decided to take a steaming six coiler on the energy industry.
    I don’t want to hear about him again unless it’s how he died tragically while spiking a tree.

20. Yes Roseanne Barr deserves an Oscar for that role.

21. Personally, I think I’ll wait until Ocean’s Eight is actually in theatres before passing judgment on whether it’s any good or not.
    But then I have no burning compulsion to turn Every Last Thing — including a privately financed Hollywood movie currently still in pre-production — into a personal affront against my political leanings.

22. If they are half decent looking and are naked most of the time, it might work.

23. To continue your theme:
    From the comments to the article…
    “At the rate they are going I expect them to remake Roots with an all white cast just for diversity sake and then wonder why no one watched it.”

24. On keeping an open mind…I’m reminded of the story about the liberal who suspected his wife of cheating on him…so one day he followed her.
    She met a man and they went to his home, the lights were on for a time, but the curtains were drawn, two shadows in the window merged to one…then the lights went out…if only I could be sure, the liberal said to himself.

25. My favorite Clooney is Rose. The rest of ’em are in with the Baldwin’s.
    Yeah a chicken action flick with Meg Ryan in a dirty Harry Callaghan role. Riviting.

26. I can’t wait for the male version of Tomb Raider, especially if the leading character has man boobs.

27. Nah. It has to be someone much younger in order to appeal to the youth market–some pop singer, maybe.

28. Yes indeed! Even a remake of “Fury” with naked women in a Sherman tank would be worth seeing (if you are perverted).
    .

29. Adam Baldwin can’t act, but don’t lump him in with the rest. He’s got balls bigger than most Hollywood conservatives and he’s not shy about punching back in public when liberals whine.
    Also, there’s really two things going on here: everything’s a remake/sequel, and all-female stunt casting. The second is pure ideology, a sign that Hollywood’s greenlight guys have no idea what will sell. They’re trapped in an echo chamber and they think SJWs are representative of people with money.
    The first problem is not new and is not about ideology, it’s about the fact that the profits on Hollywood movies have cratered over the past twenty years, from DVD sales, then piracy and now streaming. There’s a reason a movie has to make its costs back in two weeks or its considered a flop. Hollywood producers are going for the safe bet because of all the money on the line, and that means a movie you don’t have to market and don’t have to persuade people to see because there’s an existing fan base that will go see it whether it’s good or not. That means remakes, sequels, adaptations.

30. I’ll be in my bunk

31. Here is a brilliant script: a remake of The Quick and The Dead with gender roles reversed, where the hot blond male protagonist goes on a revenge spree, duels and kills a bunch of strong deadly women. He will also have $ex with a couple of women he kills later. What no takers? Really?

32. One problem is that re-makes are seldom improvements over the original. The only difference is that the cast is likely one that the intended market will recognize. Fortunately, those rarely stand the test of time and are, thankfully, soon forgotten.
    Sequels aren’t anything new, either. “The Thin Man” spawned several of them. Of course, there was the series of Tarzan flicks, which lasted over 3 decades. Even “The Magnificent Seven” resulted in 3 of them, none of which came close to the original.

33. Similarly, I’m waiting for the transgendered version of “The Crying Game” before I return to a theater.

34. I find it funny that Daniel Ream says Adam Baldwin (no relation to the other Hollywood Baldwins) can’t act, while nearly simultaneously Colonista quotes Adam Baldwin from Firefly, in response to someone else. Yeah, that line wasn’t memorable at all.
    There have been several successful remakes, notably of Kurosawa: The Seven Samurai became the Magnificent Seven, for instance. Cape Fear had an excellent remake starring Robert DeNiro. Ocean’s Eleven is itself a remake of the Rat Pack movie of the same name. The Nutty Professor. The Longest Yard. All were successful remakes. West Side Story is just an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Recycling old stories is nothing new.
    And yet, when we do get the rare original story, what do we get? The Blair Witch Project. Clerks. Supersize Me. That’s the budget level. No studio is going to spend $100+ million making and marketing a movie unless they have some confidence in making their money back. Be wrong too many times over too short a time span and you’re out of business. So, they don’t take chances.
    Want original content? Youtube. Check out some of the web series out there. And sites like Netflix, which have gone from being content distributors to content providers.

35. Re Jabba the Hutt- my guess is it was based on Larry Flint.

36. I have asked both my young daughters about the new Ghostbusters since they used to enjoy the original on tape when they were little. Both said basically the same thing. They are working too hard to survive the Alberta economy to care at all about a stupid PC feminist movie that got slaughtered on social media.
    Anyways, someone here already mentioned “Twelve Angry Men”. I am shocked the left has so far resisted the concept of a remake with black women instead of white men. They could call it “Twelve Angry Be-atches”. They could deliberate the fate of an innocent white cop who is wrongly accused of shooting a young, unarmed black. They would debate until all twelve agreed on his innocence…… then have the honkie pig executed anyways.

37. If you haven’t seen the remake of True Grit you should. It sticks closer to the book and its very good.

38. We need a feminist Slap Shot: “Hey Hanrahan! Your husband’s a fag!”

39. Jabba the Hutt- my guess is it was based on Larry Flint.
    Jabba the Hutt is based on the Baron from Dune, the book, not the movie, which came out after Star Wars. Dune was based on a history book, “The Sabers of Paradise” which, after reading it, I now call “The Light Sabers of Paradise.”

40. I did. I switched it off about half-way through. It was boring and lacked the fun of the original.
    Jeff Bridges was miscast, playing hius role as a mumbling drunk. (I heard a story that the author of the novel wrote the main character with John Wayne in mind.) Matt Damon’s performance is so dull and lacklustre, he makes Glen Campbell look like Sir Lawrence Olivier by comparison.

41. Gee, I’ll clear my schedule right now for Ocean’s Infinity

42. I hear through the rumor mill that the new Star Trek TV series is going to be highly feminized. Will not be watching. Boys who are the principle demographic that watch TV shows and movies like Star Trek and Star Wars are nowadays being short shrifted. Boys need heroes, and when the Captain Kirk’s and the Han Solo’s are being replaced with Captain Janeway’s and Rey’s, all in the name of political correctness. it doesn’t bode well for them. What happens to boys when they grow up and their role models are all women. Especially boys who grow up in a single parent household?
