It's funny how they're whining how misogynistic we are. They cast four extremely unattractive women as the leads and then Chris Hemsworth as the villain. Yeah.
Want to make a good Ghostbusters 3? Mix the casts from Hangover and the Wedding Ringer. Cast Kevin Hart as the comic relief. Josh Gad and Ed Helms as the super nerds, and Mr. Chow as the token minority Chinese guy. If you need another African American, replace Mr. Chow with Robert Downey Jr. from Tropic Thunder. God damn, that took me 30 seconds and would actually be entertaining to watch.
Will Farrell could probably pull off a good Ghostbuster too. He made a retarded movie about a 30 year old man who was raised by Santa's elves worth watching.

Oh, I definitely get the picture. Out of the four, I have to say that there's something about Melissa Mccarthy that just bothers me. She just seems to come off as overtly arrogant, like she's super hot, super funny, or both... but she's not any of that.

Had another thought on Ghostbusters reboot.
I think, one major issue to get around is how movies and ghost movies have changed over the years.
The Shining was 1980.
The Shining (1980) - IMDb
Poltergeist was 1982
Poltergeist (1982) - IMDb
Ghostbusters was 1984.
Ghostbusters (1984) - IMDb
When I point out the timeline there, consider the visual effects, and story elements of The Shining/Poltergheist. how those two movies especially, very clearly influenced Ghostbusters.
Much of people discussing how it should be handled is spent, talking about what did and didn't work in Ghostbusters 1, and 2. And of course this travesty.
I think, when trying to make a new Ghostbusters, we would need to look at, and build a base ghost story using modern ghost movies as the template.
The Conjuring,Sinister, The Blairwitch/paranormal activity. We all hate found footage.. But, I almost think you do have to make your Ghostbusters movie, a found footage, given how dominate that is for current ghost stories. Maybe do it in a fake found footage, like Chronicle or District 9. Where, we see found footage, and newsreals intermingled with live action of what "really happened".

That scene isn't terrifying at all. If the fact that Zuul appears in her refrigerator and starts boiling eggs doesn't clue you in that you aren't watching a horror movie then... idk, bro.
