Here’s the 2nd trailer for Ghostbusters, which is a marked improvement on the first trailer. The jokes still feel weak but the ghosts are certainly effective!
I guess I should say more about this remake and the angry men who are upset about it and the pressure that I’m feeling, as a woman who loves movies, to give this film a chance but … bleh. I’m already bored with writing about the Ghostbusters remake.
Here’s the thing:
Just because many of the remake’s critics are a bunch of misogynists, that doesn’t mean that the first trailer looked particularly good.
Just because the first trailer didn’t look particularly good, that doesn’t mean that the misogynists are any less idiotic, disgusting, tedious, or annoying.
I’ll see the film when it’s released in July. If it’s good, I’ll give it a good review. If it’s bad, I’ll give it a bad review. And if I have anything else that I’d rather do that weekend, I’ll probably desperately beg someone else here at the Shattered Lens to watch and review the film so that I don’t have to.
And no matter what happens, I’ll end the night dancing.
But until then, here’s the 2nd trailer for Ghostbusters, which is better than the first (though you still have to wonder why the only black woman in the film couldn’t be a scientist as well)…

Ouch! Even the first comment here is ignoring the trailer. That’s a bad omen.
But I do see your dilemma. If the movie is bad, some critics will naturally blame the casting of “gurlzzzzz” in the main roles. But with a bit of luck, maybe part of the storyline will involve a backstory claiming that it’s been discovered that the presence of testosterone limits the ability of males to effectively fight the ghosts, since it makes them unable to think rationally under intra-dimensional stress, or something equally as goofy but empowering.
One can only hope.

Absolutely agreed. I want this film to be good if only to prove the misogynists wrong, but the trailer is not doing itself any favours!
