Ocean's 8 (Bullock, Rihanna, Awkwafina) thread

[George's Dilemma]

who the fukk cares if they make an all woman movie. Ppl always crying when a movie is remade and now this. They are acting like the new movie will replace the old one...

Not necessarily crying breh, at least don't think that I'm losing sleep over it. It's not that serious, still, as someone who pays attention to politics, social matters, and bullsh!t, one can't help but notice how ridiculous the gender reboots are. Not to mention the obvious agendas at play leading up to a Hilary Clinton lead administration. To be honest with you, it's actually kinda cool to see how media operates on the masses.

I think you are reading to much into it (as far as the movies are concerned)
They know these movies will make money... because women will go to support it and will probably drag their men with them (maybe if they show some nudity men wont have to be dragged) but i doubt it .

Why not just write a new caper film starring females?

Its a known brand

I agree with that too, and probably should have been more specific with it as I just labeled it as Hollywood's lazy application of being, Progressive. Ya know, a gender flip here, a race adjustment there, etc.. The Comic Book industry is just as lazy. Instead of modifying Valkyrie, putting some clothes on her, and giving her character some shine, they just decided to make Thor a female. Same with a Black Spiderman. It's corny and lazy, but the sheep will gobble it up while the rest of us cynically observe. I imagine the creators are cynical as well, probably laughing to themselves how all they had to do was give Thor some t!tties and these dumb cac women will eat it right up. Easy cash grab with minimal work involved.

They should call it Red Sea's Eleven and make it about a casino heist gone horribly wrong because they all were on their period when they pulled it.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

i don't think, from a thread title, i've ever wanted to see a movie less

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Issues with the movie aside, I wonder who rounds out the cast. If they go with big names again and who's hot in Hollywood right now

Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, Amy Adams, Kerry Washington...

 

[FlyRy]

I bet it will be better than oceans 12

 

[steadyrighteous]

I don't have a problem with this.

I will have a problem with it if they let Amy Schumer anywhere near this.

Watch her or Melissa McCarthy get the Bernie Mac role

 

[Tical]

I like this trend that is developing if for no other reason than to see angry guys on the internet throw temper tantrums.

 

[steadyrighteous]

Watch her or Melissa McCarthy get the Bernie Mac role

In a world where it's one or the other, MM all day. I actually don't mind her.

But we live in this world. Which probably means it's going to be both.

And you know J Law and Schumer are tight now, so we're probably gonna have to endure a series of buddy-cop-like vignettes featuring America's blandest sweetheart and 250 pounds of Internet feminism packed into a 200 pound frame.

Spoiler

No misogony, though. I meant that with the utmost respect to them as females and artists

Spoiler

When I said "females" I didn't mean to offend, I meant women

Spoiler

When I said "women" I didn't mean to offend, I meant gender-unspecific homo sapien entities

*Packs up desk and dusts off resume*

Spoiler

*Actually doesn't give a shyt and will most likely watch and enjoy the movie *

 

[MJ Truth]

What's next. Remakes of all our favourite movies with gay and transgender characters?

Actually probably a good chance of that shyt happening smh.

 

[The Phoenix]

I like that the ladies are getting a shot at it. But it seems like they are making it just to have an all female cast and say that they did it. But hey, if it's good I'll watch it. I love the Ocean's movies.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Kristen wiig Elisha cuthbert Kaitlin Olsen and Eliza coupe should all be in this

But they won't
