The new Ghostbusters bust ghosts AND THE PATRIARCHY.

The thing I look forward to even more than a shitty reboot of Ghostbusters is a shitty all-female reboot of Ghostbusters. #tinktinktinktink

@VodkaPundit And you'll be sexist when it doesn't gross as much as the male one.

Oh and get ready for the "Ghostbusters are girls??111!!" prograge articles featuring people on Twitter.

Oh, yeah, that’s already starting. Enter left wing garden gnome Patton Oswalt.

The east coast blizzard pales when compared to the Internet Indignant Spittle Typhoon Reaction to the all-female Ghostbusters news.

@wildroverhockey @pattonoswalt hear hear. You can only like all announcements. Otherwise you're sexist or racist or homophobic…

Part of the reason it’s going to drive me nuts is because it won’t be about Ghostbusters, it’ll be about being Ghostbusters AND a woman.

They’re gonna make Ghostbusters a girl power flick where they have to overcome the doubts of men. I’m bored just talking about it.

.@TheBrandonMorse Honestly I'd rather see that than either
a) A remake with a recast Venkman and Egon etc.; or
b) A Rogen/Franco version.

.@neontaster How about neither! How about NO remake? Let that beautiful sleeping dog lie.

But we’ll never achieve perfect utopian social justice until women are allowed to bust ghosts in an unnecessary remake.

@neontaster Man, Hollywood really takes their recycling seriously. >50% of movies for 2015 are non-original @TheBrandonMorse

Every bad idea can get worse apparently.

Amen.

I don't think @IdrisElba should star in the new Ghostbusters.
