Ah. Nope, it didn’t work. OK then, if the Defenders Of The Earth thread is still in the off-topic forum here, I think the pictures might be viewable there.
While I agree that the four women should be the center focus and Chris should be in the background, I can guess as to why they put him in the center. I think it’s mainly because he is the most popular member of the cast and in Hollywood there really is no shame in using the popularity of one of the cast member to help promote the film. Hey, anything that can get more people into the theaters!
A lot of the kids of today probably don’t know who Melissa McCarthy or Kristen Wig are, but they all know “Thor”, thanks to Marvel. If I recall correctly, back in the 80s the “Rolling Stone” magazine featured Sigourney Weaver in the center of its cover shot of the Ghostbusters 2 cast. She was a bigger star than all four of the guys after all. Same thing Disney did with its promotion of “Aladdin”, giving the Genie more prominence in almost all of their print media and putting Robin Williams’ name in big fonts everywhere.
This could hurt the movie’s box-office as China is a HUGE contributor to overall gross. Movies like “Transformers: Age of Extinction” owe almost 80% of their total gross to China.
so i went to see the new gb movie last night and in my view it was shockingly bad the story line was terrible the cast were terrible on the whole i wish i wouldn’t of watched it . . any one else seen it yet ?
A female friend of mine went to the see Ghostbusters with her gfs. She had seen the original movies so she knew what the franchise is all about. When I asked her what she thought of it, she said: “The new movie is to Ghostbusters what “Johnny English” is to James Bond!” :biggrin Clearly she did not like it, dismissing it as a bad parody masquerading as a reboot, and no one can call her a misogynist or sexist.
I’m still waiting to catch it later. I’ll try to watch it with an open-mind and no expectations. I did that with “Jurassic World” and quite enjoyed it. While I enjoyed the original two GB movies, I’ve never been a HUGE fan of them (I always liked the cartoons more). So I’m not worried about my “childhood being ruined”.
I like Johnny English - you probably have to be British to properly appreciate it, I don’t think Americans really “got it”.
I also enjoyed Jurassic World - you have to suspend your disbelief as you go in, but I figured as much in advance.
I still haven’t seen the new Ghostbusters film yet. Must do something about it.
Just wanted to further elaborate on what my friend said. She doesn’t hate “Johnny English”, in fact she really likes both the movies (I still haven’t seen the sequel). And when she went to see the movies, she knew exactly what to expect, a parody comedy. With “Ghostbusters” she felt cheated, as the movie, despite being official canon, felt like a parody to her.
