clintthecrippler Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is the first I am hearing that people don't think Kate McKinnon is funny. I think she's been one of the saving graces of this current SNL cast, and raises pretty mediocre material to being watchable with how much she digs into her characters. My overall take on the cast is that it could have been a lot worse: Kristen Wiig - funny when she is playing more of a "straight man" character, which with the rest of this cast I am guessing she will be. Melissa McCarthy - her starring projects are pretty terrible, but she is better and more tolerable when she's in a bigger ensemble and always kills it on SNL. Kate McKinnon - see above comments, calling it now that if this movie is a success she will break out big-time. Leslie Jones - total "wild card" - her Weekend Update bits that are basically her ranting are awesome but she's been pretty shaky in sketches where she has to play more of a character and say lines she didn't write. As for the actual idea of Ghostbusters 3, I am in the camp that thinks they shouldn't try it to begin with, though I admit I was briefly excited when Lord/Miller (Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street) were attached for a few minutes to direct it.

Craig H Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The awful feeling I get about this movie is that the girls will have a falling out, but something will bring them back together and they'll learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Like the Avengers? Like Ghostbusters 2? Like in Little Rascals? Like in Anchorman? Like in Guardians of the Galaxy? Like in the Mighty Ducks? Like in D2: The Mighty Ducks? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 http://youtu.be/Uia6y9SRsj4That looks like it could be good but, let's be honest, if it even gets released in theaters, it'll have a total audience of like 50 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Maybe they're remaking the 70s show and McCarthy is playing Tracy the gorilla? Is that a poor fat joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooks Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 How badly are people guys losing their shit over an all women lead Ghostbusters movie? I need some hate to strengthen me. I hated the idea of Ghostbusters 3 every time Dan Aykroyd ever mentioned it. Why? Because I remember Blues Brothers 2000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, looking at the picture ChesterCopperpot posted, he could have went the other way and gotten himself banned. So there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The awful feeling I get about this movie is that the girls will have a falling out, but something will bring them back together and they'll learn from it. I HATE that movie trope, especially in comedies where is feels like its riveted on to the script for no real reason. Almost literally every comedy I've seen in the last twenty five years has the stupid, "hero is an asshole" for ten minutes, and then quickly forgiven about the 65-70 minute mark. . . Ugh. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, looking at the picture ChesterCopperpot posted, he could have went the other way and gotten himself banned. So there is that. That is super racist. My comment was biting commentary on the types of roles Melissa is best known for. Leslie Jones would be perfect as Ray, Kate McKinnon seems a lock for Egon, and McCarthy would probably be best suite for the "everyman" role that Winston fills. That means that the studio heads would probably want the story to revolve around "Winnie," so whingers could have more to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm reading this discussion on another board about the possibility that they would do a misguided tribute and CGI in a Harold Ramis cameo as a ghost. It's 100% pure speculation, but everyone is having this hilarious reaction like "No... they couldn't possibly actually seriously do that, right? RIGHT? Please god no."

RIPPA Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So shooting finally began on the Danny Boyle directed/Aaron Sorkin written Steve Jobs biopic - which they finally decided to just call Steve Jobs. What I found interesting is that apparently it is only going up to the release of the iMac so the movie will be ending in 1998 Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, the film aims to take audiences behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.

BEN! Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Melissa McCarthy gets eaten by the marshmallow ghost. She eats her way out. She farts out little ghosts. Theme plays. Credits roll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
