Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Yeah, I guess we can just count you out of everything, Hudson.

I heard it was really good. But yeah I don't really see movies that much.

You're missing out - it was pretty good.

But it wasn't super-amazing-can't-miss-it.  If you don't want to watch it, don't.  But if you're worried, the movie didn't make a big deal at all about it being women ghostbusters.  There was precisely one, very brief, joke about the internet reaction to the idea of women ghostbusters.

Unlike some of you, I don't have an aversion to see movies featuring people that pee sitting down; The Heat was funny as fuck.

Even if it is good (and I expected shit) I can't get that jacked up about a remake.

Plus, the trailers/clips I've seen weren't funny.  Not a good sign for a comedy.

Batman vs Superman. Bad, but I actually expected worse given the reviews. And by that I mean it's like a D- instead of an F. Luthor was horribly grating, Batman's "character arc" and relationship with Supes is stupid, Superman has the acting prowess of a stone bust, the movie is full of plot-holes and head-scratching idiotic plot points (like [spoiler]how the world believes Superman killed a bunch of African rebels that were mowed down by gunfire  :huh:[/spoiler]). But there's a modicum of entertainment to be had.

I'm actually kinda looking forward Affleck directing a Batman flick though. I love him as a director and his portrayal of Batman wasn't too bad despite the terribleness of the script.

I hear that a lot of the plot holes are self induced because of the editing, and the extended director's cut is much more coherent.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Movie was better than the trailers (which admittedly weren't good).

But that's perhaps a good thing - too many comedy trailers put all the best bits in the trailer, leaving the entire movie something of a let-down.

Everybody I know who has seen it so far has liked it so take that for what its worth.
