I can't stand wiig, she is one dimensional and it's not even a good one. McCarthy can be funny at times though, as long as she isn't just doing 'I'm fat and gross'. Well at least you can't accuse Melissa McCarthy of being one dimensional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any genre (but chick flick or documentary) and something not too obvious preferred as I've seen most of what Netflix would recommend for me.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Noah is on Netflix now. It is full of the hammiest acting you'll ever see & it is seriously flawed & incredibly daft. I really enjoyed it. There is plenty of good stuff on there, you just need to look about. International films are always a good punt. Force Majeure, A Separation, The Lives of Others, Timbuktu, and Cinema Paradiso are all quality foreign films worth a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yep ghostbusters looks terrible... I'll probably be panned for this but, for me the majority of women comedians aren't funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ghostbusters.....man oh man. Positives: Effects look great, ghosts look great, ecto 1, slimer, wiig and 'Egon girl' look decent. Negs: Gags, slapstick, stereotypes, unfunny jokes. Clichéd loud black lady is a negative all on her own: saying 'oh hell nawwwwww', shouting, slapping, screaming etc...ugh. Awful. If McCarthy can tone her 'schtick' down a bit (looks like she has a little from the trailer) and just act like a normal person for once than I may have been able to put up with it but that black lady is just unbearable. Awful casting. Winston was just a normal 'one of the guys' type of character who just happened to be black, why can't she be the same? This just seems more offensive than anything. Very sad. When it all broke I thought it would be a train wreck, the trailer was actually better than I thought, even mccarthy seems to be reigning it in a little which would have made it bearable as said but that black lady instantly kills it for me. Can't get past it. Oh and token sexist Hemsworth crap. Paul Feig, the male apologist. Revenge sexism =/= equality. Could have been good but it seems to be more a vehicle for 'yay us girls' rather than expanding the ghostbusters universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Melissa McCarthy gets a lot of hate but was funny in Spy and she can act. In saying that the trailer for Ghostbusters was cringe worthy - almost like a Scary Movie type reenactment of the original which is clearly sacriligious. And that black character is borderline offensive in how stereotype she is. 'Tis gonna suck. On Netflix recommendations, if killer genitalia is your genre then I watched a movie last night called "Teeth". Surprisingly good for what its worth!

PieFacE Posted March 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Every time I see Melissa McCarthy try to be funny, part of me prays for nuclear war. Edited March 4, 2016 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted March 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2016 I saw Melissa McCarthy being interviewed on TV once and ever since, I've had a bit of a crush on her. I can't explain it as I know it's wrong but what can you do? I've also come to the conclusion that watching films on planes is a very bad idea. In the last couple of weeks I've seen Sicario, Spectre, Trumbo, AntMan, The Big Short and Black Mass. I can tell you nothing about any of them other than that I'd like to see Trumbo and The Big Short properly and that AntMan was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
