"safety lights are for dudes". sure, liking Ghostbusters: Class Struggle Edition is being blind to gender.

Never said an all-female cast is a fundamental problem. The problem is that the director and producers were clearly using gender politics for a marketing angle instead of worrying about making a decent movie. You can accuse me of being a sexist for not deliberately lobotomizing myself and ignoring the obvious because you heard on TV that it's more important to virtue signal about being "gender blind" than to be a functional human if you want.

How insulting it is to the audience to assume they are more concerned with dogshit Marxist politics than seeing a decent film when they go to purchase a ticket. But hey, that's how stupid these fucks believe the mass of humanity is. That is how much contempt they have for human life.

The failure of this movie is actually a pretty damn good sign. Indicates that the reach of gender d&c brainwashing is significantly weaker than estimated by the (((executives))) at Sony -- executives that are intimately plugged in to deeper talmudic concerns, if you recall the email leak. Chink in the armor.

It was rather cynical of the execs to attempt that kind of marketing scheme, and the market might be an indicator that what is rampant on the internet or voiced by a younger generation isn't where the mean of society actually is. Whether or not such plans will continue has yet to be seen and doubtful because of the data that Ghostbusters has provided. I also think that Melissa McCarthy's run is up becuase she's the same character and somehow was given the John Candy career path when she has way less talent.

Big studio wise, it only takes 1-2 major flops (usually just one) to cut your fee by half.

What happens is her run isn't "done" as much as the star refuses to accept a lower fee and keeps trying to get bids on scripts from any studio.

I have looked into this heavily. Stars both new and old live and die in Hollywood according to what they are willing to accept.

Many of the Twilight cast are prime examples of this, as we have a slew of financial data on the stars themselves that has been disclosed, and their subsequent demands following Twilight.

Taylor Lautner was done by it, as was Ashley Greene. They were trying to get up to 5 million and Taylor Lautner was trying to command 7.5 million for a comedy lead. Hollywood froze him out and he refused to lower his fee. Same with Greene.

Spy was probably the funniest movie of 2015, so I don't think another flop is going to end things for Melissa. Someone like her is going to have limited opportunities because not everyone has a sarcastic fat chick role to fill. Not really her fault when movies just don't work out.

Hollywood business. She might take less to stay active which would be smart. Over saturation is a problem, but actors only have so long to make their money which has to be capitalized on. The Twilight folks asking that much is laughable tho'. The project they were on was bigger than their talents merited post-Twilight which is what it sounds like they're dealing with. Hell, Orlando Bloom has done what else beside LOTR and Pirates?

I can see that, but Spy was terrible. She seemed to be the only interested cast memeber while everyone else was just getting a check to help her. She's definately been niched into that character role, but it doesn't last long. Not gonna fault her for getting dat pay do.
