Subject: Ghostbusters/Murray - Litigation Counsel [CONFIDENTIAL]

In order to more fully evaluate our position if Bill Murray again declines to engage on “Ghostbusters”, AG requested that we identify “aggressive” litigation counsel with whom we can consult to evaluate our alternatives and strategize. [Harkening back to his prior employer, of course, raised the name of David Boies.]

Personally, while I’m fine with aggressive, I think we are in much worse shape if this goes public so seems to me we should look for someone who isn’t seeking the spotlight.

Can we discuss at some point soon to provide a suggestion or two?
Thanks.

Check out his reaction:

The scene from the movie is even worse than I thought - truly bad. And the crazy scientist character as a woman is probably the first in human history.

Best comment: Bill Murray: "I am here because I don't want to be fined."

And the other men: "We are here because they pay us 200.000 to 1.000.000$ and we need the cash."

Does Bill Murray own any part of the Ghostbusters franchise?

I think the youtube trailer has to have some of the most dislikes I've ever seen 870,000 or about 80% dislikes.

Of course the idiot audience is cheering like this lousy scene is the best thing since Swiss cheese.

Rolfe's GB video in the NYT.

Quote: Without so much as pressing play, I decided that his position was garbage and that he represented the worst about geek culture and the internet.
Instead, I did something very old-fashioned.
First, I watched his six-minute video [you're a media critic and want a medal for this?]
...
I wanted to know what he made of the furor. His response was astonishing. He was offended by some of the blowback — because, as he wrote in an email, it seemed to him that those angry over his video “have not watched it, or have been misquoting me or twisting my words.”

Mr. Judging Before Seeing was mad because people were judging before seeing. [As if commenting on a major Hollywood movie based on its trailer is the same as condemning a guy for a Youtube statement made in his basement without bothering to watch it.]

Piece ends with some padding based on apparently a single email and short phone call giving some of Rolfe's background. Lightweight article.

Given the style of writing and that Brooks is a unisex name, not to mention the multiple accusations of misogyny, I assumed the writer was a woman. I was wrong.

I just noticed something:

This piece of shit reboot is trying to reinforce the Bieber-narrative:
Video of protagonist is uploaded on the net/social media -> video goes viral -> fame & fortune -> epic shit happens

The last time a movie tried pushing that narrative this blatantly was "Jem & The Holograms". And that cratered.

So now I'm thinking, "how many narratives can they cram into one movie?" and "Why?"

There are a couple of Ghostbusters 3 TV spots (about 30 seconds each) that came out a few days ago.

For fuck's sake - it is even more blatantly feminist.

The voice booms that THEY ARE NOT AFRAID - yes because they are powerwomen.

And she fires the gun at the marshmellowman's nuts - afterwards she makes a very "empowering" victory move.

It's terrible.

Also they are calling it an UPGRADE.

I think they decided to go all-out and won't be satisfied until every feminist in the world sees the crap.

Frankly I doubt that even the Chinese market could save them. China saved the Warcraft movie from total flop due to so many Warcraft Gamers being in China, but I seriously doubt they are going to go for the cuntbusters.






They call the third one Squad Envy - I guess the comments are right - they meant penis envy and feminists are filled with envy 24/7.

^ Each successive trailer and TV spot is worse than what came before it. If that footage is the best they can find to advertise the movie, the movie must be fucking awful beyond what we're even anticipating.

"Squad Envy?"

That's the most confusing tagline I've ever heard. Is it like... an anagram for "Quads envy", because these badass bitches spend so much time in the gym lifting that they've got killer quads that I'm going to be envious of? I can't see "penis envy", unless "Squad" is some slang for penis that I've never heard.

Have the marketers just given up entirely?

^ No, 'Squad' means your crew.

They're doing the 'cultural appropriation of black slang' thing beloved of white liberal social losers. Read their twitter feeds sometime.

Did you ever see a loser fat kid a couple of years younger running behind the cooler older kids back in school, thinking if they mimic their behaviour they'll be accepted by them? Same instinct.

In the movie I imagine it plays into a narrative of how they were never popular in school, but they save the world regardless by Loving Fucking Science!, proving that it's intelligence, not popularity and beauty that is important. It's a standard compensatory fantasy of ugly, narcissistic women of midwitted intelligence. They know their target audience.

Of course, hiring the Thor guy instead of, say, Patton Oswalt, as their secretary undermines this narrative completely, but, hey, hypocrisy is the eternal female currency.

Realistically though, their only audience for this is Buzzfeed Readers and Lesbians.

- Men don't find what women claim is 'hilarious' and 'amazing' to be either. You know that odd feeling you get when you see a Progressive Twitter bio and there's always that ridiculous 'wacky' statement inserted somewhere in there, when you wonder why someone would ever write something so stupid, and then feel a sense of dawning horror as you understand that they're socially-autistic that they think what they said was humorous. This movie dialogue shown is just that Progressive Dire Wackiness in script form.

- As such, this also rules out the charismatic and socially well-adjusted, who will just simply see the trailer as Not Funny, and wonder why anyone would even think it's funny

Also:

- Normal women love men and find feminist misandry toxic and nasty

- It looks too dirty for kids

- Urban audiences aren't interested in watching a bunch of ugly white women

- Gay men would want their women to be louder, sassier, far more glamorous and with wittier lines than these improvising, mumbling wrecks in dowdy jumpsuits are providing. I've never met a gay guy who quoted 'Ghostbusters', but, man, can they quote 'Troop Beverley Hills' or 'Mean Girls'. Also, Thor isn't shirtless

- The Chinese have recently started rejecting and banning western cultural Marxism in their movies

- The Muslim community will be offended by the pro-female superiority message and the fact that women are a) singing b) sinful lyrics about c) being a slut on the soundtrack, each of which is haram.

As such, we could easily decimate what little audience remains for this by faking a Netflix announcement of a new Binge-Watch ready 15 episode show about Lesbian Geek Girls dropping that Friday night.

I can imagine a few will actively see the film in defiance of all the negativity.
I can imagine a few will see it on the basis that - 'it's so bad, so you laugh -at- it'.

However, people are well aware Hollywood has a terrible track record with remakes.
Plus, Hollywood has a terrible track record with trailers (showing too much or the best parts).

So looking at the ~9 or so TV spots & trailers, & knowing the alleged whole story & plot by that one leak.
I just fail to see how there is anything even remotely worthwhile with this shite.

Just managed to see the latest TV spots.

Most people, when they say they did this:



They don't actually, y'know, do it.

I did, on that last joke. If you'll recall:

'GUILTY AS CHARGED!'

Where is the fucking laugh track for this shit? I didn't think it was possible to do Dad Jokes for cunts, but they've somehow achieved it. And why did I feel like half the movie was Revenge of the Nerds?

Watched all 9 TV spots last night and had to pick my jaw up off of the ground. I almost can't believe how bad they were, and the earlier trailers were awful enough. some new clunker lines I'd never heard before, and they were even worse. ("nooo, that is a deadly high-five!!!" is probably the worst offender, and it appears in almost ALL of the TV spots!!)

Bridesmaids was at least amusing in parts. Was that just a lucky accident, then? Because it's almost like Paul Feig doesn't understand what makes a line funny.

This is going to be ten times worse than we're anticipating. Mark my words.

I wonder if glowing reviews have been sent out yet.

There's two, once uncommon, now currently-widespread social dysfunctions interacting in this:

- Narcissists are incapable of honest self-reflection because the emptiness inside terrifies them. They're incapable of letting go of grudges because the person who injured them might have recognised them for what they really are. They clearly-understand observable social reality, but know a persona can be faked to make everyone around them believe they're perfect.

- Gammas are incapable of honest self-reflection because they're too arrogant to believe they need to do so. They're incapable of letting go of grudges because the person who injured them clearly didn't recognise them for what they really are - their true superior. They're in deep denial about observable social reality, which means they wouldn't see the need to fake a persona because they already believe they're perfect in every way.

It's my suspicion that these dysfunctions are interrelated: my theory is Gamma Children are produced by Narcissistic Mothers, and the vast increase in the Gamma Personality in my lifetime correlates with the rise in single mother households, (or where the father is particularly weak and henpecked), to the extent it's created the first generation of Supremely Low Value Females, (an unattractive prospect for sex, relationship or marriage), who are aping repulsive Gamma Male behaviour, something I'd never experienced before in my lifetime.

Why is there such a strong current attraction to the new Female Geek Persona amongst Millennial Girls? (1)

It's a ready-made, adoptable identity (Narcissist) that gives others the impressions of high intelligence (Narcissist, Gamma). Being thought of as Highly-Intelligent is something girls who are low on the social / sexual totem pole (Narcissist, Gamma) desperately cling to as evidence of their true superiority (Gamma) over beautiful, sweet, sexually-attractive women.

Unfortunately, High Intelligence is self-evident, and women who are such don't to waste their time LARPing in an attention-seeking way as Geek Girls. As such, the persona is only adopted by midwitted girls who vastly-overestimate their intelligence.

Pay attention to the weak discourse provided by the Female Thought Leaders of Anti-Gamergate - the inability to create original critique that conflicts with thought dictated by intellectual authority figures clearly lumps them below of an IQ of 120, though I guarantee they all think they apex of intellectual thought, because they don't have the mental horsepower to even conceive of higher-intelligence, where thought just is.

I suspect this is why Social Justice also consumes them: they might not be beautiful, or nice, or popular, but they can be more morally-righteous, which they believe proves to those watching that they are Better People.

So, back to the 'Revenge Of The Nerds' concept:

The earliest ego injury both Narcissists and Gammas would suffer would be during the schooling process, when Narcissists haven't yet learned the skills necessary to generate positive social interaction, and when the cool cliques clash with Gammas due to attempts at intrusion, who are too self-deluded to realise they don't belong with that crowd. (This is when the Foolish Gamma thinks doing the Hot Girl's homework means he'll get to hang with her in public).

School is when both groups first realise they're losers. The Narcissist learns to hide what they are, the Gamma doubles down, and believes everyone else is wrong.

Remember how I said they're Narcissists and Gamma are incapable of letting go? They are consumed with the though of destroying anyone who wounds their egos.

As such, they never move past the ego injuries they suffer in school, and are consumed by them ever after. Life becomes an eternal quest to prove those stuck up high school bitches were wrong about them.

Just wait until you get to my age, and you hear women in their late forties still bitching over not being invited to the right parties in high school. I can't imagine carrying around such worthless baggage for thirty-five years, but I'm not consumed by the belief that my self-worth was eternally-judged as inferior by not getting to party with the rugby player / cheerleader clique when I was 15.

----

(1) If you're paying attention, you'll notice the Geek Persona is being deliberately pushed hard by the media (girls can watch sci-fi too!), the marketers (geek barbie!) and academia (More Women in STEM).

Ages back, I wrote how I suspected the current university generation was being deliberately trapped in a black-and-white, early teenage stage of moral development (based upon Kohlberg's theories).

What if the design is even more insidious?

Remember, I'm an INTJ. Thinking of how I'd socially-engineer the world is the sort of thing I do walking to the shop. Of course, the downside is we risk seeing patterns that aren't there, so this is simple spitballing on my part.

We know the Marxists wanted to destroy the bond between men and women, and parent and child, because there should be no greater love than socialism.

When the Marxists started pushing for no fault divorce in the 1970's, part of getting it passed was hiding the studies and research evidence that showed that divorce harmed children. Feminists were complicit in this. You can read about this online easily enough.

This means this research was studied to be suppressed, so, perhaps, certain patterns were noted, such as my suspicion a weak or absent father + raging narcissist bitch of a mother whom nothing is ever good enough for produces an offspring with a Gamma Mindset. This is the family construct of every Gamma male I've know, and there's a few in my life.

The clearest observable traits of the Gamma I've noted:

1) The ability to completely-ignore observable reality.

A gamma lab partner in high school [abandoned by father, raging narcissist mother] once proof-corrected a 'let's just be friends' gentle rejection letter and showed it to me of evidence of her 'love' for him.

2) An innate fear of challenging matriarchal authority.

A gamma fellow weightlifter I know [henpecked, almost invisible father, raging narcissist mother] is dating a scathing, controlling hambeast because he in incapable of telling her no, repeating the pattern of his scathing, controlling mother.

Note Jordan Owen begging feminist journalists to leave him alone if he just proves what a 'good boy' he is.

3) Bitter, seething, all consuming resentment that someone, somewhere might possess a marker of social superiority that is rightfully-theirs.

A riding mate of mine, [abandoned on a doorstep at birth, raised by single mother social worker] "Your [tall, muscular alpha] brother-in-law doesn't deserve your [traditionally-beautiful and feminine] sister. Why doesn't she see how badly he treats her and leave him?"

My stepfather, [father too busy working a farm, narcissist mother who ignored his existence after the death of her first son] "I would have won that competition except for [external factor beyond their control]. I tried to complain but the judges didn't listen!"

4) They sit at the social apex. If something doesn't recognise their true superiority, it must be made to submit to their power. Failing that, it must be utterly-destroyed. Failing that, it simply holds no importance to anyone.

Stepfather again. "I've taken up archery. I got bored with the model plane club [that he staged a failed coup for control of]. They don't fly often enough anyway. There's an archery event every weekend. Oh did you see the third place trophy I got recently? I would have gotten higher but someone in our group was taking three minutes between shots and holding everyone else up. It clearly states in the rules the maximum is two minutes between shots. I went to complain to the organisers and they struck off his scores."

Note that all four of these traits are also observable in John Scalzi's embarrassing interactions with Vox Day.

Let's look at those four points again. They're really:

1) The ability to engage in doublethink without going mad;

2) Submission to the romantic ideal of a protective, comforting authority that, in reality, is cold and uncaring;

3) Things should be fair and equal so no-one has an undeserved advantage;

4) A sense of strict obedience to orthodoxy and furious anger when it isn't observed in others.

See how Marxists could have observed these patterns in children of divorce would have noted that Gammas are natural Socialists, and would therefore need very little indoctrination to the cause?

In which case, you'd do everything to manipulate the social structures to produce more and more of these gamma drones, by pushing female narcissism and self-interest ; ('have a career, put your kids in daycare', sleep with multiple men so to guarantee the gamma-creating divorce); and pushing deliberate uglification and infantalisation in the female children so as to create Gamma thinking, ('Star Wars is an important concern for a 30 year old girl!', 'Tabletop gaming is where the cool girls are!').

'Ghostbusters' looks just like more gamma programming to create lonely women who take their romantic unhappiness out on their kids, creating more gamma socialists.

It easy to see why there's so much Social Justice about, because I've noticed it's never a concern of people with regular sex lives, loving partners and happy children. However, it's an all-consuming concern of ugly, untalented, people with such a core of black nastiness inside them - 'that white child deserved to get eaten by an alligator!' - that they can only generate unconditional love from their 'furbabies'. Failing a course correction, expect legalised beastiality within fifteen years.

I expect this to be the highest-rated movie on Metacritic ever, given the importance to the Narrative and the compliance of the media. If it dips below 70%, you'll know it's enough of a turd that even Marxists couldn't shill for it.

Excellent points once again - you mentioned Jordan Owen who actually at one time opposed the SJWs but got his panties in a bunch when doing a documentary with Aurini. And it essentially concerned his inability to perceive Game as valid. He is indeed a Gamma who has a pure inability to acknowledge reality:

His view of himself:



The reality:

Guy on the left with Aurini.



Now I don't want to pick on him too much, but most of us here can easily see that if he pulled his shit together, got slimmer, worked out, then he would be a decent looking man. If he learned some Game, then pussy would not be much of a problem for him even in the US.

----

The points raised by AB reminded me of a very close case of mine. My sister who over time became a SJW. She did not start out like that. She actually desired a strong masculine man and clearly states that she does, she fell into the feminist trap of sleeping with many men, not settling down in her 20s and now being a single cat-lady journalist (busy writing SJW articles 24/7) in her late 30s she is unhappy as can be. The only thing that gives her validation or encouragement are her beliefs in all the causes - open borders, feminism, cultural marxism at it's finest. In a recent family event she could not even manage to discuss any of the topics with me. She actually stormed off as she was triggered. I observe what she does on social media - she actively calls out for censorship, applauds when someone gets fined 5000$ for a facebook comment, she applauds when anti-immigration demonstrators are hurt by Antifa leftist radicals. She would prefer if all "hate-speech" would be shut down under threat of arms.

And even my family observed her inability to engage in a discussion with the likes of me. She knows I am much smarter than her (we both got IQ tested in our teens) and she is somehow unable to fathom, how I can be against everything she cares for the most.

Alas - the reality will hit her ever harder now as she is unhappy being childless, Betas and Gammas who she could get make her skin crawl and options with Alphas or even attractive Betas are non-existent now.

----

As for tin-foil hat - the education system was created by design - I recommend a book by Charlotte Iserbyt Thomson (former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education) - Deliberate Dumbing Down of America or the books by educators John Taylor Gatto - the Gamma personalities were created by design.



----

Personally I don't see much future for those personalities. They will double down and ride their lives to deep unhappiness that ends in soma-drug stupor or alcohol. Essentially most of them cut their lives short just like the "treatment" of transgenders simply enforces their delusions resulting in an early suicide or self-destruction.

The SJWs become the most obedient followers of the Orwellian State while actually thinking themselves to be anti-establishment rebels and fighters for the Glory of Divine Justice. This system is truly amazing if you think about it - if created by design, then it is a social-programming masterpiece.

I've no real interest in picking on him - the guy is utterly-irrelevant to me both on his quality of produced thought and produced art - but I'd just observed noted the gamma behaviour is his repeated Sperg-outs over Roosh.

The classic Gamma Tell is his belief that Game is somehow 'tricking' beautiful women into sleeping with us, rather than them happily-choosing to do so. In his mind, he is the alpha male, so, obviously, we don't deserve them.

Let's go back to that 'abandoned on the doorstep guy I know'. He used to work with a locally-famous AFL player, who once played a - to my eyes - harmless minor prank on him... shit... it must be a good five years ago now. That was all it took for him to decide AFL guy doesn't 'deserve' his fame and popularity, and in the time since then he's... man, where to begin.

I know there's more petty stuff than this, but off-hand, he's: badmouthed the guy to everyone he meets at the pub; rung the radio station pretending to be him; started asking any random young guy kicking a ball around a footy oval if they knows him; had a physical trophy made up with 'dirtiest player' and had it anonymously-delivered to him at his work; and now gets around each summer in an AFL singlet that he took into a embroidering place to have the guy's name and number emblazoned on the back of.

The player, meanwhile, hasn't interacted with my mate for a good 4 1/2 years or more in any capacity, and probably doesn't even remember he exists. See how it resembles stalking? I think my mate thinks this is showing him or something. Jordan Owen making multiple 3+ hour anti-Roosh videos is textbook enough to barely raise an eyebrow with me by now, because I know, to a Gamma, that is Normal Behaviour.

Before anyone says, well, why are you friends with such a nutcase? I'll just say Tribal Obligations. Some people who decide who is and isn't in the tribe don't see as clearly as others. He's not a problem for me, since I know how to 'game' his issues so as not to trigger a sour fixation upon me.

---

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, Zelc. It's hard to read her from this end, could be Narcissist, could be Gamma. The difference between them is someone pretending to hold the beliefs she does for personal power over others (Narcissist) versus someone who is deliberately delusional about the nature of social reality? (Gamma)

I've spoken before about believing there has been a clear shift into Fourth Wave Feminism and how insane, petty and wilfully-delusional the resentments of Fourth Wavers seem to outside observers like us. I'm starting to think that the difference is that Four Wave Feminists are driven by Gamma Resentment, which is why they resemble children throwing tantrums over imagined phantasms rather than the adult women fighting for observable social rights styles of the previous waves of Feminism. Whether we agreed with them or not, their causes made sense to outside observers, which is why they were passed into law. But now Gamma Women are controlling the movement? Rape Culture at a 97% Female School? Fart Rape? Sexy Tabletop Figures? Mansplaining and Manspreading? "This video game character should be a female version of that character, but don't you dare make her a female version of that character."

----

Let me illustrate the Sheer Pettiness of the Gamma for you.

When I'm back home, my sister, nephew and her husband catch up with me for lunch on the weekend. I cook lunch for us due to my allergies, but he's a country tradie type and doesn't have much interest in eating anything that isn't fast food or done on a barbie.

I said I'd duck up to the shop and get him some fish and chips, and he said he'd be happy with '3 potato scallops and a battered sav'.

I never go in there, but I go in, I'm friendly. The younger girl behind the counter keeps smiling and looking downwards, but I keep chatting with everyone behind the counter.

I come back and hand him the parcel. He opens it up. "Huh, there's an extra scallop."

I shrug. "They only charged me for three. Guess they stuffed up."

"They're usually more careful."

The next weekend, I go up again for him with the same order. The girl behind the counter still can't meet my eyes. I'm a charming motherfucker to all concerned, and when I come back home he opens the parcel to find the same thing. "Another scallop?"

"Just go with it."

My sister gets this funny grin on her face and says "Is she cute?"

So the next time we got together, my Gamma Stepdad turns up just as I was about to do the run to the shop, and he starts to tell me to stay there and he'll go up instead, when my Sister and Brother-In-Law shout him down: "No! Send Bosch!"

My nephew runs in and says "Uncle Bosch always gets extra!"

They explain the situation to him and I ask him if he wants anything but he says he 'wasn't hungry'.

I duck up to the shop. Once again, I'm charming as fuck. This time the girl shoots a shy look at me as she hands me the parcel for a second, says "I put something in extra for you," then looks at the floor again.

"Why thank ya, Baby Girl." I touch the brim of my hat at her and leave.

Arriving home I see my sister run out to the driveway. She's shaking her hands excitedly, "This is so funny! Did you get your extra scallop?"

You've got to remember my sister is a very Girly Girl.

We head back inside and my stepfather is sitting in the kitchen looking pissed off for some reason.

I drop the parcel down in front of my brother-in-law and say "Three Scallops and a Battered Sav".

He opens the parcel, and he and my sister burst out laughing. Now there are not only four scallops but two battered savs, meaning I now have $9 worth of food that I paid $5 for.



My nephew jumped into the room, got in my stepdad's face, said "See, I told you Uncle Bosch always gets extra!" very pedantically, then ran back out of the room.

My sister is laughing so much she's almost crying. She puts her hand on my shoulder, looks me in the eye and says "This was every day of my teenage years."

That makes me laugh even more.

My Stepdad suddenly grunts in annoyance. "They obviously-mixed the orders up", he says, then sits there stonefaced. Food was always his substitute for the love his mother didn't give him, so I'm starting to realise he could be triggered into gamma resentment by this, so I go back to the stove to dish out and ask him if he wants some of the stew, but, it's too late.

"No, I'd better tell them they made a mistake. I might as well get some lunch there."

He stomps out.

When he stomps back in, he does the usual Gamma Evasion tactic of avoiding answering a direct question when I ask him if he told them they'd made a mistake, meaning, he didn't do shit.

My sister asks him what he ordered.

"Three scallops and a battered sav."

He opens the package.

Three scallops and a battered sav.

My brother-in-law, not helping: "I guess you're not as pretty as Bosch!"

My nephew runs back in, and god love him, makes things even worse. "You should have sent Uncle Bosch! Uncle Bosch always gets extra!" Since my nephew fixates easily, I realise I'm going to have to try and train him out of saying this because, otherwise, it's going to niggle my stepdad every time.

My stepdad is trying to hide his annoyance, but then, thankfully, discounts the fish and chip shop entirely, as it didn't recognise his superior status. This is his inner kid deciding that he wouldn't want extra from them anyway.

"They look very greasy. They mustn't be changing the oil regularly. You should try the one down near the bridge next time. The guys from the Archery Club say it's the best one in town."

Look, I love the bloke, he's very caring and kind most of the time, but, see how easy it is for them to get fixated over such a minor moment of someone being treated as superior to them by getting something that they believe should be rightly-theirs? In this case, fixated enough that he was in a sour mood for a few hours after the fact. You can see why Social Justice has such an obsessive fixation over the gamma personalities out there.

If you think that's bad, you should how grumpy he gets when repeatedly comes last at Mario Kart, needing to explain to everyone how his controller 'must be malfunctioning', to the extent that I'm wondering why I have to explain to a 55-year-old man and not the 11-year-old autistic child that it's a party game aimed at children with randomised advantages to level the playing field so winning is as often based on dumb luck as it is skill. It's Everyone Gets A Trophy in videogame form.

This is the problem with Gammas. It only takes such a little thing to trigger such a big overreaction.

Yeah, I sense their time I coming to an end because there's simply no social cohesion in a society where everyone is deluded about their social status and attacking everyone else for stealing what is rightfully theirs. This of course plays into Marxist hands: give us power and we'll make society fair and safe.

The one advantage of Gamma over Narcissism is Gamma isn't a fixed state, and can be overcome, given the right circumstances and a sense of growing self-awareness, (usually via dose of a hard reality they couldn't ignore). Unfortunately, the Gamma has to want to work to change, or their comfort has to be so shattered that they have no choice but to adapt or die.

It might yet come to that for large segments of the Millennial Population.

I find myself in a shameful position where I interrupt good and thoughtful discussion but if there is one thing that this movie has been able to produce are the comments to its trailers.
My God some of them make me laugh like an idiot. Here's a gem which made me choke and come to tears:

'Literally Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler.'

Most by men of course. God, it's so nice to find small brilliant crystals within this steaming pile of shit.

What turned him into a pussy was being mainstream with ABC for so long, and he also quit doing stuff with Adam Carolla who went the other way and turned into a red-pill Trump supporter.

I don't think anyone would voluntarily drop an anvil on their balls.

And, as stated before, it might be better if we don't address this. Let it sink on its own weight. (possible pun not intended)

Perhaps an analytical take on the fail later on, but not a review.

A ROK writer should go see it and write an extensive review on it. But that is a professional visit similarly to a reporter who visits a slaughterhouse. You expect horrors, but someone has to do it.

Yeah, this is a better idea.

The Spiderman gif was perfect, thanks Merc.
