We're about 20-30 years into the sequel/remake phase. I'm not sure that's going to end. I think TV, Netflix, YouTube and on demand options are going to be the home for original or less mainstream material.

I guess but I think the wild proliferation is more like the last 10 years. Some times I think of how lucky the Apatow kids are for coming along at the perfect time when Hollywood decided to never try or cast anything new. It's led to masturbatory things like This Is the End and the James Franco Roast. They're pretty funny but let's move on and allow some new voices for crying out loud.

edit: I don't mean to take so much away from those guys, but I stand by my point. Seth Rogen should be in a sitcom called Seth! by now.

Keep in mind, guys, you're not allowed to have preconceived notions about what a movie will/should be or expect or want anything out of it based on the source material. You can't judge an all-lady cast on the merits of the all-guy cast 20- or 30-some years ago. It must, like Inherent Vice, stand on its own merits and have nothing to do with how much you loved the original.

The disappointing thing today has been real adult humans complaining about the casting of women in "Ghostbusters".

Latent misogyny and unchecked nostalgia are two of the most annoying things and here they are together.

our old friend HungaryJack would get a kick out of this thread.

Is this the part of history where 35yo hipsters start to sound like old white guys?

It's the part of history where maybe we acknowledge that pretty soon there are going to be a lot of Old White Guys who are Aging Hipsters.

I don't have anything against the idea of a lady "Ghostbusters". It's better than a comic book movie, and it's probably better than having a bunch of 75-year-old men in an action comedy (maybe that's why Murray wouldn't do it).

But goddamn, Leslie Jones is the f*****g worst. I don't get that at all. She's a loud, braying irritant who has a half-dozen terrible appearances on Saturday Night Live under her belt, and now she's getting a big part in a big movie. Maybe she caught Lorne Michaels strangling a hooker.
