Ghostbusters director Paul Feig has fired back at “misogynistic” critics of his upcoming all-female-led remake, telling a film industry panel over the weekend that he has faced an “onslaught” of hate mail and negative messages since the project was announced two years ago.

Looking forward to NOT seeing this movie. This is from someone for whom the original was a major life event. Nice to alienate half your potential audience Mr. Feig.

It’s not that I’m a misogynist, it is much more that I feel women should not be in movies. They should be ankle-chained to the stove, but I will allow that the chain makes it to the bedroom.

Now STFU and make me a sammich.

LOL.

My opinion is that Hollywood tends to remake or reboot movies and TV shows, and the remake / reboot just won’t be the same. And in this case, clearly they are trying to make some political statement by having an all girl cast. They make their bed they can lie in it.

If he's lucky, Melissa McCarthy will eat the final print.

I kinda get off on playing into the stereotype, and cranking it up to 11.

I like to see liberal heads explode. :)

Here's one so freakin bad, that not even *I* will post it directly on FR. It's so bad, you'll laugh in a kinda horror.

Oh Please... this movie is so bad, that the biggest promotional campaign for it... the huge sum paid to the NBA to promote it during their finals doesn’t show 1 shot of the actual film or have any of the actors/tresses involved in the film involved.

This tells you even the studio knows this thing is a bomb.. Seriously what other film can you ever think of who’s ad campaign didn’t involve anyone involved with or scenes from the film??

Bomb..... a pointless pandering remake

Exactly. Don't make a movie that sucks, and I'll go see it.

The original wasn't much of a movie. Nothing unique or special about it, except..... The Casting.

This fool tried to re-create that with a bunch of women who frankly, just aren't all that funny. I'll pass.

Leave it to liberals to try to bully people into seeing a bad movie. I don’t know who hates women more.. liberals or muslims.

That’s right, Paul. You make a boring, POS film and when it bombs, you blame “Right Wing Hate.”

So you were too lazy, too stupid or too ignorant to come up with your own movie to make. Well then when people don’t like it call them names and put it on them instead of on yourself where it belongs.
