If SJWs were contributors of anything, The Ghostbustesses would have made top bank.

Can we now just confirm that SJWs, like most political fringe groups, are nothing more than a largely vocal minority who screams much too loud as the rest of us not only don't wanna hear/deal with it, and are trying to get some sleep and get on with our damn lives? No one should be catering to these people. No one (especially not weebs.).

The original Ghost in the Shell was an overrated clusterfuck of a movie; I imagine the live action one will be much of the same. The big question will be how much do they dumb down the film for general movie goers?

They plan on adapting the 1st season TV anime into a full length movie, I think. The TV anime was much better than the anime but uh. How are they going to deal with the fact that a lot of the anime centers around Japanese laws?

This is going to be a mess, and I thought casting a white woman as a very obvious Japanese woman character was a huge mess to begin with.

I worked at a movie theater (taking a leave of absence bc college) and Ben-Hur came out my last weekend. The most we ever got in a single show was about six, with a lot of empty houses and the average being about 2-4. To put this in perspective, at one point we got 11 people for a showing of Nine Lives of all movies.
