Ghostbusters 2016: Talk about the movie(s).

Re: Ghostbusters reboot: Yes, it has WOMEN

So we agree, "chick flick" shouldn't be used.

So what DO we generalize the movies that we know are created for a female demographic that most men would never go out of their way to see because, hey, it's okay to admit we really do often like different things, our brains are different and that's not a bad thing?

I call those movies chick flicks. I have no problem with the term being used. I only have a problem with any movie with a female cast or even any movie that primarily targets a female audience being labelled a chick flick.

Xena is not a chick flick. Sailor Moon is not a chick flick. Maleficient is not a chick flick. The Golden Girls is not a chick flick. My Little Pony: FiM is not a chick flick. And, no, Ghostbusters III will not be a chick flick.

Re: Ghostbusters reboot: Yes, it has WOMEN

What's with the laughable topic title change? "Yes, it has WOMEN"?

That title will only encourage people who hate the all female cast to come into this topic to say the cast is gimmicky or it will be another trashy chick flick. The title should just be "Ghostbusters reboot news" or something. The focus should be on movie news, and NOT a stupid debate about how it is full of women.

The debate became absurd when people who felt they were being oppressed by Teh Evil Feminist Agenda decided to voice that stupidity for all to observe and admire.

I agree. But a certain subset of posters in this thread have decided to make the discussion about the cast featuring those evil, slutty women. So I simply gave them what they wanted.

Re: Ghostbusters reboot: Yes, it has WOMEN

I've gone from being annoyed to amused, mostly for the following reasons.

1) Several of you can't just admit something along the lines of "Yeah, okay, 'chick flick' itself isn't an inherently offensive term, though like any word or phrase, it could be used offensively depending on context and intent."

No, folks don't have to agree with you.

2) Most of the same people in this thread keep crying about how people who disagree with them won't stop posting in disagreement to them instead of just "letting it go." All the while posting ten times as rapidly and vehemently to not only spew that, but continue to scream and shout their opinion on the matter.

They don't have to stop discussing it, either.

3) The sheer level of trolling going on simply because of points 1 and 2.

Disagreeing with you constitutes trolling?

4) The unquestionable hypocrisy of points 1, 2, and 3.

Hypocrisy, I don't think that means what you think it means.

And with that said, and unlike the aforementioned people, I actually am done.

So often said, so seldom done.

This grows tiresome. Now you must ASK to stay.



Emilia, you must've had an aneurism when you saw Khan treating McGivers like that.

[nerd] If you're going to quote "Space Seed" you should use a picture from "Space Seed".
This is Trek board for God's sake! [/nerd]

Yes, this is a matter of pride... Principle... Obsessive compulsion... and stuff.

You could try calling it "a movie".

Re: Ghostbusters reboot: Yes, it has WOMEN

Hey, I like some chick flicks too: "What Women Want", "Titanic", and---dare I say---I actually enjoyed "The Devil Wears Prada".

::waits for the pointing, laughter, and smart-ass remarks to subside::


But sorry, "chick flick" isn't sexist any more than "guy movie" is.

Or maybe some women consider "chick flick" to be something "I can say, but you can't"?

Or maybe some people are too damn serious.

That or some people just can't get enough drama in their lives.

Speaking of girl movies, Steel Magnolias and Soul Food are also good.

Impossible, we categorize everything.
"Gross-out comedy", "Superhero movie", "documentary", "torture porn", "mindless action flick"... the word movie just doesn't give us enough information quickly when we're talking with each other.

Made one tiny edit for you.
