Oh yeah I'm not saying there is just remakes out there. Just questioning why the bother with things that look so certain to be crap. Batman v Superman is another one and that's not really a re-hash, just something that is doomed from the start

I don't think BvS was doomed from the start. The hype around it was enormous.

It's easy to say that sort of thing with the benefit of hindsight.

Ghostbusters will be an absolute bomb, not sure why they bothered.

BvS was so hyped it would need to be one of the best superhero movies of all time for it not to be a failure. Harsh perhaps that it gets judged like that but thats just how i see it

Disagree. If it hadn't been so bloated, and rushed - have a Batman standalone, a Superman standalone (which they did), and then have them clash in this, then it would have done fine.

I haven't seen it, mind you.

Neither have I. Batman looked way too robotic looking and too much was given away in the trailers so never saw the point

He has some killer beats though like Heartbeat, 3005, Freaks and Geeks, Telegraph Ave, FireFly etc

But yeah I know what you mean. Some of his stuff is a bit strange.
I just love the late 80's early 90's style of hip hop, can't get into these new off-beat electronic style beats. Firefly is cool and Heartbeat I don't mind because it's unashamedly a dance song rather than hip hop.
 
jod23, what do you make of Derrick Rose being traded to the New York Knicks?
I hate it.

I hate it because we cant even blow up a roster properly.

Look I love D-Rose. He is a Chicago native, favourite son, a three time All Star, an MVP. He was well on his way to being a legend before the injuries. Then the hell of all those injuries have pretty much made him just a quarter of the player he was.

We owed him 20 million next season. He is now just an average PG. So despite the history and the love I have for him, I was alright with trading him this offseason.

What I hate about it is that we didnt do it right.

It wasnt a good trade but it wasnt a horrible trade. I wanted it to be horrible. Just give Rose up for nothing. That's what I wanted. Clear as much cap space as possible. If we're lucky, trade him for peanuts and maybe a draft pick somewhere.

Instead we trade him for decent PG who can spread the floor with his shooting and run the offense in Calderon. Robin Lopez is a decent C too and Grant has upside coming off an underwhelming rookie year.

But we've added both Lopez' and Calderon's contracts and the three of them arent horrible players.

So what we have basically done is made a little cap room, but not a lot, garnered no draft picks and traded for three decent players who will probably help us win 35-40 games next season.

Where does that get us you might ask? Exactly where we were if we didnt trade Rose.

Sigh.

I just dont get why they thought making it an all female cast would be good and make people flock to the cinemas.

If they were gonna do another one, get Murray, Ackroyd, Moranis, Weaver and Hudson all back. Then throw in a current young star to carry it like say Liam Hemsworth or Chris Pine and sell him as the son of Egon Spengler. Bang. It's a hit. I should be a movie producer.

It's so simple, yet they went and did whatever the **** they just did with that all female Ghostbusters.

I do love a lot of the older stuff. Wu Tang, Gangstarr, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, NWA, Cube, Warren G, The Roots, The Fugees, Nas, the list goes on and on.

Today I only listen to Gambino despite heaps of people always telling me I should check out Logic or Kendrick or Drake etc etc. Although I did love Kendrick's King Kunta track. That was fire.

But it didnt make me want to go listen to more of Kendrick. I just loved that track, then put on more Gambino haha.

I have no issue with having an all female Ghostbusters, it would have worked fine if they'd made it a continuation and had some of the original cast as support. That's not my issue with it, it just doesn't look funny at all.

And you realise Liam Hemsworth is in it and is probably one of the worst aspects?

Having a Hemsworth being the worst aspect of a movie is not surprising.

Liam is a terrible actor. Not sure who apart from jod sees him as a young star!

Yeah I know what you mean, Kendrick has a few good songs but I don't really want to listen to the album over and over again. Logic I quite like, that album is one I can listen from start to finish. I doubt we will ever see hip hop as good as it was in the 90s, ATCQ, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Pharcyde, Grand Puba, Gangstarr, Common, beats from Pete Rock and Premo, we were so spoiled. I sometimes feel sorry for the kids of today

Oh I had no idea Liam Hemsworth was in it. He doesnt play one of the Ghostbusters though right. It would make more sense in my movie with him being Egon's son. He still believes in the Ghostbusters and he goes and drags the old guys out of retirement. Murray, Ackroyd, Moranis and Hudson. Then once you have the cast set and you get great comic minds like Murray, Ackroyd and Moranis, you know that script isnt gonna be shit.

I do agree the trailer looks gash and it just doesnt look funny. I dont have a problem with it being all female either, it just doesnt interest me. Ghostbusters wasnt about the idea of Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters isnt a brand where you can put anyone in the suit and it sells. Ghostbusters was about the characters.

You cared about Spengler, Venkman and Stantz. It's just so weird that all these people working professionally in Hollywood cant see simple stuff like that.

People would have flocked to see a continuation of those characters stories, because we loved the characters, not the gimmick of Ghostbusting.

Weird lol, he's featured pretty heavily in the second trailer.
 
I havent seen him in much actually. I was just throwing out names. I know he is a bit of a flavour of the month right now.

I think you're thinking of Chris Hemsworth.

The problem is the kids of today think they are spoilt. They think blokes like Lil Wayne are awesome. A lot of rappers sound the same across the board nowadays. It all melds into one.

Only seen he first trailer, looked horrible. Didnt bother to check out any other trailers. Legit had no idea he was in it.

Im not thinking of Chris/Thor.

Anyways, it's not the issue. Fine not Liam Hemsworth. Go with any young hot star right now.
Chris Pratt is one who is not only super hot right now in Hollywood but has massive comedy chops.

Imagine him playing Spenglers son and throwing banter back and forth with Ackroyd and Murray. Ill go to the cinema to see that.
 
What's everyone's worst reboot? I saw the rebooted Robocop the other night. Can't believe what they did to one of my all time fav sci-fi films :'(

He's in that one briefly as well.

Hm ok, because Chris has been in a lot more things lately.

I've never seen the originals so that stuff is lost on me haha. If they'd wanted to do an all-Female cast of new Ghostbusters, with the older guys as the support cast, with the feel of the originals, I would have been interested, but this just looks crap and the CGI looks terrible.

Wait, you havent seen the originals? Then you would have no idea what im talking about then.

Why would you have been more interested if they brought back the old guys if you've never even seen the originals?

I do agree the special effects look amateur and the trailer wasnt funny in the slightest.

The Amazing Spiderman was pretty gash. But yeah Robocop reboot was horrible.

Because that would create a more cohesive story line than this which just seems a disjointed mess. If I knew the original characters were in it I'd have more faith that it would be successful, as the originals were good.

It'd be like someone who's never seen Star Wars before, and sees how trash the Prequels were, but then sees the new ones are getting the original cast back, I'd be more inclined to see a new film that has the original cast that made it successful.

Amazing Spiderman was brilliant, I loved it. Heard the second one was crap though.

But you havent seen the originals. So you'd go see them just because the consensus is that the originals were good.

Ok...
