The fact is, feminism is very vocal nowadays and it makes sense that Hollywood is trying to make money off of it. They're a business.

They weren't arbitrarily making all women's remakes before now, and it's because feminism wasn't making so much noise then.

So they are absolutely capitalizing on something. Let's not be naive here.

And I don't think it's naive to say that's not the sole reason homie. I'm not disageeeing with your premise but I'm also saying it's not as clear cut as that and it's not binary. Is that one of several reasons? Sure. But there's also Clooney, and them reviving one of their most successful franchises which has a name on it, and the flack the town has caught over the past few years with regards to the lack of roles for women not named Meryl Streep and of course the opportunity to have a great cast and a good director at the helm. There's layers to the onion

They really trying to put people in seats to watch this bullshyt. :shaq2:

Like I said before I got free tickets to see this. I will wait until the reviews come out and see what they say.

If you follow the instructions here, you can basically get two movie tickets for $2. Just go in and say I want a refund and get a ticket to a movie you really want to see.

The reviews will likely be more flattering just because it's an all female cast, and the era we live in. Rotten Tomatoes is already featuring the vast majority of it's critic's reviews by women.

If this movie didn't have the all female shyt, then this would sound like a completely generic and unnecessary remake.

To me, it's still a completely generic and unnecessary remake, and an all female cast isn't going to guilt me into buying this shyt.

I enjoyed the ocean movies

this seem corny though

forced narrative/agenda movies rarely sit well with me

Clooney’s idea because he likes Sandra and likes working with her and wanted to see the franchise continue and didn’t know what to do with Danny rusty and Linus anymore. He and soderberg went to Gary Ross and here we are.

Not everything is a forced agenda man. Sometimes someone just has an idea and they want to do it and they have the power to get it done

I said it’s tonight homie lol. I may or may not go. I’ve heard who may or may not show up but I won’t know for sure till I see it.

And yeah you’re right. It’s crazy they never really exploited this movie in that way. It’s a whole lifestyle you can brand and they chose not to. That’s long term money
