"Dan Aykroyd Heaps Praise On Female Ghostbusters And Proclaims His Progressive And Empowering Ancestry So Internet Does Not Leap Down His Throat."
Indeed. He's one of the cookiest crackpots out there, with a mic to the public. That's irrelevent to the subject of female ghostbusters honestly, but still he is a nutball.Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:That's cool, but lets also remember that Dan Akyroyd also thinks ghosts, magic and UFOs are real as well.
He's a great comedian, but he's a pretty weird guy.
So that's why he turned into such a weirdo.Fanghawk said:Aykroyd said in a statement, referencing his family history of paranormal ghost-hunting.
"Turned?" Sir you seem to not know the first thing about Aykroyd if you think he hasn't always been a bit funny in the head. He absolutely is, has and probably always will be a bit kooky.Casual Shinji said:That's nice, Dan. But neither your's nor Bill Murray's blessing is going to make me feel anymore hopeful that this movie isn't going to turn out as a shallow cash-grab.

Chill, veering vastly off topic here into mudslinging guys/girls/gender non-specific lifeforms.Nods Respectfully Towards You said:I see Godwin's Law is at full force here. You managed to come off as tumblr without calling for a report. That's like that one guy that hated Saving Private Ryan for being about the suffering of the white cis male without stating he's a straight 'die cis scum' SJW.

Bravo.Karadalis said:Aaaaand ofcourse the big deal is not that we get another ghostbuster movie... the big deal is about it being all female... wich means the entire bloody movie will focus around the fact that the team is female, and not so much about ghostbusting shenanigans.
For whom exactly are they making this movie anyways?
Last time i checked the crowd that really REALLY liked the original ghostbuster movies where mostly male.
If this movie will tank? Dunno.. could be... its not a michael bay movie so pretty explosions and US military wankery wont carry it... and i doubt jokes about fat woman, dum woman and relationship issues will draw the attention of old ghostbuster fans.
And the ghostbusting plot, the pseudo science talk and action might not really draw in the big female audience they are hoping to get.
And that's why only radfems watched Sucker Punch.Evil Smurf said:It's a scientific fact that women only watch films about killing all men, and housework.

that was a jooooooaaaaake
Hooray for common sense!!Johnny Novgorod said:Dan would support any kind of riff on Ghostbusters. He's a good sport, and likes money. He'd be saying the same thing about an "All Whatever" remake.
Look, I don't care about the female gimmick. Yes, it's a gimmick. You take a long-standing franchise and suddenly swap the gender of its characters (don't care if they're "original characters", it's still four leads with a 3-to-1 white/black ratio), that's a gimmick. It's not New Ghostbusters, it's Female Ghostbusters. And that's OK.
I just don't like Feig's brand of humor, or McCarthy for that matter.
Well, obviously. It's the reason the first Ghostbusters took its subject matter as serious as it did.Imperioratorex Caprae said:"Turned?"

Yeah, but its ok. Without the quirks he wouldn't be a great comedian. But yeah there was a much darker tone to the original script cause of Dan and thankfully Harold was there to make it less creepy.Casual Shinji said:Well, obviously.

It always makes me look at the end credits scene of She's Having a Baby, where Aykroyd is giving baby name suggestions, with a raised eyebrow.
Something tells me he's more serious than the movie tries to play it off as.
How did that film break expectations? While I have yet to see it, the impression I got pre-release tended to be 'this is a bit unusual, but Marvel haven't made a misstep yet', which became 'Marvel have done it again, the film's pretty damn good'. That kinda sounds like Guardians met fan's expectations quite well.Pete Oddly said:Wouldn't it be awesome if this movie was an expectation blaster of Guardians of the Galaxy proportions?
