Why I refuse to pay money to see Ghostbusters For Morons

FULL DISCLOSURE: This video contains excerpts from three trailers. In order of appearance, these are the Mad Max: Fury Road Comic Con trailer, the Straight Outta Compton Red Band trailer, and the first theatrical trailer for Ghostbusters For Morons. I am claiming Fair Use provisions for these snippets of footage, as I hope to educate studios and the people they employ about how a trailer can either make me want to destroy Asstralia in order to see the film it advertises, or destroy the people who made the film it advertises. I have become very good at predicting what the quality of a film will be based on its trailer.

Ghostbusters For Morons has been in theatres where I live for two days at the time I started uploading this video. Given that the real Ghostbusters is the very first film I ever saw in a theatre as a six year old boy, I feel very compelled to speak out about why I will not pay to see it, why I despise people who think it good, and why I encourage everyone to pirate it.

This video does not mention a lot of things that I have mentioned elsewhere, such as that I would be very offended if I were female and expected to support an endeavour advertised in such a crass manner solely on the basis of being female. That I know two women whom I do not even need to speak to to know they feel the same kind of offense for that very reason.

In this video, I talk about how advertising can make me feel compelled to see a film, and some positive examples of that, before explaining why the trailers for Ghostbusters For Morons had the exact opposite effect.

I will not pay to see Ghostbusters For Morons. I hope that it has box office results that make Batman’s Ass versus Superman’s Ass look like The Dark Knight by comparison. The way Ghostbusters For Morons has been advertised is the only party that one can blame for this. I hope Ghostbusters For Morons ends Paul Feig’s career.
