Thank you Paul, for letting us know just how much that movies rejection hurts you. Your career is over. You will never move on.

[@PsycoDwarf9]

NOTHING to do with an uninspired idea for trying to remake a classic. Nothing to do with four performers trying to all be Bill Murry at the same time. NOTHING to do with poor scripting, clumsy timing, getting out front of weak perceptions and blaming the audience "It WASN'T made for you!" Then being surprised the audience didn't pay...or go.

[@sigmacademy]

It wasn't "weak perception", it was ACTUALLY what people saw in the trailers. It was the director and some of the cast that were GASLIGHTING people about what the movie was like. THAT is why the backlash happened - it was spiteful man-hating trash, further complicated by a director that by his own admission left the "talent" to run wild with their "performances" and from rumors back then it seemed he somewhat broke down and cried during the making of the movie - even HE saw how bad the whole thing was turning out to be during the course of filming. Then he turned around and tried to BS people into just accepting it for the win he claimed it was. Both the people who were burned by thinking it was going to a good, fun time AND the people who were ticked off by the anti-male nastiness spread out over the entire runtime had a COMBINED adverse effect to having wasted their hard-earned cash on such nonsense, and within a franchise they deeply loved.
