    Exclamation First they fuck up Ghostbusters and now they're gonna ruin the "Oceans" trilogy

    Apparently the urge to continue to estrogenize classic films is continuing. It was recently announced they are working on an All female Oceans movie and given the title this looks to be part of a trilogy. Why the hell do they continue to shove this profeminist bullshit agenda by remaking great movies by taking a premise and basic plot line and throw in a bunch of chicks and think it'll bake into something decent. Did nobody learn from the epic failure of Ghostbusters

    I don't see feminism I see a lazy gimmick to churn out the same crap over and over with minimal variation and rake in billions.

    You are thinking about this the wrong way. Once is a fluke twice is a trend.

    They make this and it bombs you won't see another feminazi movie made for another ten years.

    And this project probably in the works already, and the producers think they can address the problems the Femi-Ghostbusters had. Sort of like how it took several tries to get a working trans-Atlantic telegraph cable laid down. Only this 'connection' is to bridge the divide between feminist ideology and mass-audience profitability.

    "Ruin" is funny here. There was one of those 3 that was even watchable let alone "ruinable".

    Watch the original with Sinatra and thank me later.

    Bruckheimer/ Simpson had their gimmick back in the '90's with making everything with a black character as the lead. The mantra was 'get a regular script, then do it black'. That begat 48 Hours, Beverly Hills Cop, Bad Boys and a few others. I don't see this as anything other than that, except with the caveat that it's chicks, not blacks. Now mind you, it should be more lucrative, because boys take girls to see movies, unless it's Star Wars, then the boy goes to the movies with or without the girl in tow. Dating may be the only thing keeping movie theaters open at this point.

    Oceans 12 was a brilliant movie. Not because it was good film but because 11 made so much god damned money the studio would have done anything to get 12 made so the whole cast said "ok fine but you are sending us on a all expenses paid 4 month summer European Vacation" and they had to accept.

    Been hearing rumors that the next Escape from New York (slated for 2018) will be a woman as the lead. Supposedly Snake Pliskins daughter set in on a mission when a Senator falls into a walled off Manhattan.

    It could be a mashup and they could call it "Snake In The City".
