the moment maga calls something woke… I embrace that game/tvshow/movie/book. they all turn out to be pretty good (other than a few gacha games)
Sometimes they’re accidentally right about something sucking, but always for a different reason than culture war BS. Ghostbusters 2016, for example.

Yeah, that mocie was so ass. My perfect summation of it. We rented it, my daughter picked it out. Like ten minutes in, she says something like, “This is so terrible, I am going to my room.”

Now, normally, she will just ignore whayever is on and play on her phone or whatever and ignore it, this, she actively wanted to flree from.

It was actually impressive just how bad it was. It’s like they were trying to make it unbearable to watch. The fact that it carried the name of an all-time classic made it so much worse.
I was reading your comments thinking, it wasn’t that bad guys. One quick google search revealed I was thinking about the 2021 movie and had completely blocked all memory of the 2016 one. You’re spot on, it was atrocious!

If I remember right, the only good thing in it was Chris Hemsworthbseemed to be having a good time.

Which is of course, an “awful” criticism on the surface because of course “You must think its woke because you only liked the guy’s part of it.”

I actually think it could have worked with a better cast honestly. I know the original was basically all SNLpeople, but doing it again just made it really bleh.
