Now that improv comedy has come roaring back in popularity thanks to 'Kill Tony' and Joe Rogan's favorite improv ASSASSIN Harland Williams taking down comedy newcomer/wannabe Sam Hyde, is it time to finally re-evaluate 2016 'Ghostbusters'?

It featured 4 improv NINJAS at the top of their game SLAYING for 2 hours. This is what good comedy looks like.

You would fuck Melissa McCarthy but would have to be drunk to fuck Kate McKinnon? You're deranged.

It's great how everyone pretended this never even happened like the day after the bluray came out

>>213357846
Melissa's got a sweet face. I need a sweet face; can't coom to a rough face like McLesbian.

I could go for a slampig right now

>>213357884
She's quite good looking when she isn't pretending to be a dyke. There is no cleaning up Melissa McCarthy, she will always be an obese.

>>213357942
there is absolutly nothing wrong with fat girls unless anyone knows about it.

>>213357942
An obese what?
And no, yeesh.

>President of worldwide distribution at Sony, Rory Bruer, told The Wrap he expects the revamped Ghostbusters to become a very important franchise within the studio, adding that the Ghostbusters world was "alive and well."

>"While nothing has been officially announced yet, there's no doubt in my mind it will happen," Bruer said.

>>213357977
what about the fuckin smell, dawg

>>213357942
>There is no cleaning up Melissa McCarthy, she will always be an obese.
nah she has the kind of face that looks amazing when you're pistoning in and out and she gets that shocked look of 'damn how does it feel so good'

Remember when RLM reviewed this? Was right when Mike was trying to distance himself from his alt right fans after getting backlash on Reddit for complaining that movies always had a white businessman as the villain. Mike and Jay tried to prove how progressive they are by saying Ghostbusters 2016 was actually pretty good and that Leslie Jones turned in a great performance.

Can't make it up.

Am I the only one who remembers that Sony originally announced TWO new Ghostbusters movies; one with an all female and one with an all male cast? And the femishits lost their fucking minds over the all male one because they knew it would effortlessly make more money so they cried until Sony cancelled it.

>>213358106
And two garbage direct sequels later nobody is saying "Maybe we should give the girls another chance." Based Amy guiding the ship.

Their review ended with Mike telling people “stay far away from this film”, with Jay saying “you should not feel bad for not liking this movie, for not wanting to see this movie, you have nothing to feel bad about, it’s a shitty comedy”, and with Rich saying in four months people won’t remember it, with Jay saying he would agree were it not for the controversy. They said Leslie Jones came across better than the others whereas the trailers had made her look the worst, but none of them liked the film and they didn’t pretend to

>>213358524

>Can't make it up.
you did make it up, though.

>>213358692
Thanks Jeeves.

>>213358692
Just watched the review, they did actually say Leslie Jones was the best part. That may or may not be true, I never saw the movie. The one thing I did catch though was they said this is an example of a reboot done wrong but that JJ Abrams Force Awakens was an example of doing a reboot great. I forgot they loved that shit.

>>213358830
Reminder of what garbage wikipedia is
>The film grossed $229 million worldwide against a $144 million production budget, making it a box-office bomb with losses for the studio of over $70 million. Sony abandoned plans for a sequel,[11]
The cited source
>Ghostbusters director Paul Feig recently revealed in a Den of Geek interview that a sequel to the reboot of the Ghostbusters 1984 movie would not be happening. He cited the reason being the film was not able to break-even since it earned $230 million at the box office record and they needed more than $300 million losing $70 million in the process.
It didn't make the production budget back let alone the marketing budget. $70m isn't even close to how much they lost.

>>213358910
I saw the movie. The corn is probably the best part in a log of shit, but you should not consume it. Also, Helmsworth was the best part.

>>213357714 (OP)
The improv was one of the things that dragged this movie down. It put in a bunch of scenes that don't add anything to the plot, it's just the actresses riffing on camera for too long. The whole third act was terrible though and really what ruins an otherwise okay movie.

>>213358973
It's a myth based on nothing that advertising budgets are that high. In fact they often will use product tie ins that cover advertising costs completely. Papa Johns paid for the Ghostbuster's marketing.

this fucking guy

>>213359090
the big studios also use their own tv and other media subdivisons to "sell" themselves ads for any price they want to justify for tax and royalty payout reasons to shift things in their favor.

>>213359090
>It's a myth based on nothing
It's based on advertising costs which are ridiculously high, and leaked/reported marketing budgets which run into the hundreds of millions.

>>213359079
The original cut of the film Paul Feig turned in was over 4 hours long. That's a lotta improv. Can you imagine the shit that is in there. I'd actually love to see it.

>>213359164
>Can you imagine the shit that is in there.

>>213359164
You can see some of it on the DVD, there are deleted scenes and alternate takes, and a lot of it is just the actresses running through variations of the same joke, or running with a joke for too long. Don't get me wrong, I think all four of those actresses can be funny, but this movie was too unstructured. It feels like the script has a lot of "Character says something funny" rather than writing a solid film all the way through and letting the actors play in the margins.

>>213359154
Exactly. It's the same scam Indian companies do where they bill each other millions of dollars. The bills cancel each other out and it makes their revenue look huge on paper when they are actually making nothing.

Amazon got fooled by this scam for their Go stores. The Indian AI firm they hired were actually just a bunch of guys sitting in a call center watching what shoppers selected through the security cameras.

>>213359094
That emu looks pissed

>>213359275
Almost all comedies for the last couple decades feel like scripts with placeholders for jokes they planned to add later, then ran out of time and never circled back to.

>>213359284
Hollywood (the jews) does this all the time to both cheat the governments of the world out of taxes and actors and production staff out of backend points.

Reminder that Leslie jones was hired at snl as a fuck you by Lorne to the black castmembers for bitching about having to play women to the media. He literally went out and found the oldest ugliest most untalented black female stand up possible then sat back and laughed as the mindbroken media made her a huge star.

Okay, as a certified, Trump voting chud, even I have to admit that these were pretty funny!

>>213358155
There's enough stuff to mock RLM for without making things up
You could have just gone after them for their defense of Star Wars Episode 7 and Jay's tearful insistence that Rey is not a Mary Sue

>>213359666
It's a joke. You're supposed to click the video and start watching it and be fooled momentarily when Mike opens the video by saying "I for one.. LOVED IT!".

>>213357767
For me it's
>Wiig>McCarthy
>Power gap
>McKinnon
>Massive power gap
>I'm not even going to say the other one's name because I just think she sucks so much
But seriously McKinnon is so overrated

>>213359847
NTA, but why would I willingly open an RLM video? Even momentarily?

>>213359975
I remember they tried to push that bitch so much during this

>>213360029
NTA, but why say you do not like RLM in an RLM thread in such a convoluted way? Are you trying to help me sleep? What are your intentions when I am asleep you fucking pervert?

I remember they were all salty because their shitty film was left out of the box set.

>>213358159
>Am I the only one who remembers that Sony originally announced TWO new Ghostbusters movies; one with an all female and one with an all male cast?

I remember this.

>>213360119
we are all ghostbusters?

not you anon

>>213360146
I remember that but never took it seriously a second. It was some desperate damage control when the backlash was bigger than they expected.

>>213357942
>dat receding hairline

>>213360119
There are still lots of excellent scripts out there that serious writers spent 10 years crafting that they will never made. Instead they make shit guys like Feig spent 4 hours to write, on a flght from NYC to the pitch meeting in LA.

I still remember watching the negative comments disappear from that first trailer on YouTube, aside from the sexist sounding ones. Probably wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself

>>213360209
2016 was a hell of a year

>>213358688

It's pretty kino that buying all four Ghostbustettes would allow you to build the Rowan ghost. I had high hopes for this one before it was released. I like the cast. But lets face it... all Ghostbusters movies live under the shadow of the first one.

I have a reputation for having truly awful taste and I liked it so I knew it was going to flop. I also liked the live action Powerpuff Girls trailer that everyone else hated just to give you an example of my extremely unpopular taste.

How the fuck did they think that would work out? The ultimate "fix it in post" mess. Hell, I just saw a video about the making of it and even on set the cast and crew were frustrated with nothing working out. Feig and Sony didn't really have a finished script and it wad a giant clusterfuck.
And this was a remake of a movie with fairly tightly written script full of memorable lines. I am sure I remember some ad libbing, but the original film seemed fairly composed ahead of time.

>>213360188
what's next? a Ghostbuster in a wheelchair?!

>>213361134
they even used the basic framwork of the original at least for the formation of the group, and still shit the bed with a will only surpassed by Amber Herd.

>>213361134
>Feig and Sony didn't really have a finished script
Writing is the cheapest simplest part of the process. Why are studios incapable of waiting for the script to be finished?

>>213361189
It was a really lame remake.
Honestly, I wish they made it a sequel about a new franchise in a new city. Certainly Feig was a bad fit and the script was non-existant, but the character lineup and story didn't have to be bad.

>>213361186
>what's next? a Ghostbuster in a wheelchair?!

Bruh...

>>213361317
Geez. What's next? A feisty hot goth chick?!

>>213361317
I aint fraid of no... are those fucking STAIRS?

>>213361134
To be fair, it worked for the original.
It's just they think comedians can improv their way through any movie and make it good

>>213361317

I liked it... I thought it was a solid follow up to The real Ghostbusters and Slimer & The Real Ghostbusters. It had that late 90's Korea digital animation look, that was seen in MIB the series, and the Godzilla animated series and the producers had to pull the rest of the 'S&TRG' cast out of retirement at the end.
