Red meat for the unwoke misogynist: Charlie's Angels

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

the one thing no one has ever bothered to explain to me before these movies bomb is why I am supposed to want to see them beyond either the most obvious and unconvincing ("because it's kick ass entertainment!") or the unappealing ("it's empowering!" or any variation on that theme).

WHY would i want to see Charlie's Angels 2019? I saw the last two and enjoyed both, even the drecky second one. What is the pitch for this one, and I mean the pitch that would make me want to see it and/or explain how I've failed as a moviegoer if I don't?

To repeat what others have said:

A. There doesn't seem to be a lot of societal interest in a Charlie's Angel reboot, particular in light of how poorly a lot of reboots have performed of late.

B. The movie is not getting good reviews.

A+B=Bomb.

Avoid unnecessary multiplication.

Why not point out the obvious that WOMEN are not supporting the movie?  Who the hell was the target audience?  
 

Her misogynist ranting makes zero sense, but it the victim cutler to blame others for your failures. 

Where was the blame on misogynism?  I missed that.

Hmmm.  Yep, a lot of dumb there.

First the game show and now this?  Liz must be hurting for money. 

Far, far from it.  She's trying to transition into a big-time player in the entertainment industry.

I was unaware of this movie till about a week ago, so add in lack of marketing. Most likely because the studio knew it was shit?

I still haven't seen a single ad or trailer for this movie - other than this thread.

How Sony Is Marketing the 'Charlie's Angels' Reboot

The studio's campaign includes a hit song collaboration by Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus, and a promo spot featuring soccer star Megan Rapinoe.

Shit, soccer star Megan Rapinoe????

How did this movie ever flop? They got Rapinoe for fucks sake.

I had no idea Elizabeth Banks was a natural blonde, but this confirms it.

Needed more scissoring.

I would have kept going to see it until they finally arrested me in the theater with my pants around my ankles.

I think Elizabeth Banks and Steel Shank would make the ultimate power couple

Has it also occurred to Elizabeth Banks (who I think is hilarious as an actress, btw) that part of the reason the movie stinks is because the jig is finally up with Kristen Stewart?  She's not talented, she can't carry a film, and she sure as shit isn't funny.  I know some of you "outdoorsy Texas men" went to the Twilight movies, for some reason.  But she can't act and she's not funny.

Absent of anything to do with this movie, I actually have the opposite opinion of Kristen Stewart. I think she's as interesting an actress as the next gal and was surprised she'd make this movie.
