Ocean's 8 (Female-led Ocean's 11 sequel)

Honestly I feel like an Oceans without Bernie Mac will feel kinda soulless but I am willing to wait for a trailer before forming a complete opinion on this.

These reboots always seem to fail to deliver on actually getting the iconic and unique character right For example there isn't anyone even trying to pull a Bill Murray in the new ghostbusters movie which is my biggest problem with it. I don't see anyone make or female ever doing Frank's role right.

Weird, Frank never really stood out for me in those movies. Mac played his role pretty well, but he wasn't an anchor like Basher, the Molloy twins, or Damon's character.

Sandra Bullock alone makes this a better all female reboot then the ghostbusters one, in my opinion.

As long as they keep Melissa Mc Carthy far from it, it WILL be better than the new Ghostbusters.

You can celebrate this film and still not crap on another one. Ya know, just a thought.

I actually feel that she isn't that bad. She was pretty good in Spy, I'd say.

As for whether if it would being better than Ghostbusters 2016, well, that's for that thread.

No need to be a White Knight there.

People can have diffferent opinions.

And I don't find Melissa Mccarthy that appealing when she plays the same role in nearly every movie she stars in. She would end up playing the same character she did in Spy, anyhow.

Ocean's Eleven is my favorite movie. Really hoping this one will be up to par.

Heh. I'm pretty far from being a white knight - it's so NOT my colour palette. Then again, of course, people are entitled to their opinions. Even when they're misguided.

Apart from me, obviously.

Jesus Christ, not this again.

Really? There are literally no words I can use right now in reply to that. None.

It was a pretty passive agressive statement, Tam.

Saying "everyone's entitled to their opinion" is generally a way of closing off an argument; it acknowledges that there's not an objectively right or wrong answer to the issue at hand, and you're probably not going to come to an agreement about it. On its own, that's perfectly fine.

But slipping that comment about "misguided" opinions in there, that a) implies you don't really think their opinions are as valid as yours, and b) makes it seem like you want the argument to end, but only as long as you get the last word in. That's a debate tactic that tends to piss people off.

I honestly read it as a joke, one which is pretty common and unlikely to cause ire in others. It's like saying "Every team out there on the field is great. Except the Browns. To Hell with them". Or "There are two things I cannot stand. One is bigotry. The other is the Dutch, the rotten, stinking Dutch."

I would've read it like that, but in the context of the discourse that seems unlikely.

But, you know. Internet. Whatever.

Rihanna, Anne Hathaway Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett and Nora Lum have joined the film.

Groan. I wanted Rosario Dawson in the film.

Rihanna...?

I wasn't too impressed by her performances in Battleship. :/

They still need an 8th person, maybe you'll get your wish?

I'm interested in it, a very interesting cast, Rihanna may be a wild card, but directors seem interested in casting her lately. This will one of couple acting roles coming up. The costumes look amazing, not too crazy about Gary Ross directing, considering his work on the first Hunger Games was a little jump cutty for my taste.

Huh. As a caper fanatic, I'm intrigued. But the fact it's Ocean makes me a bit uneasy given that I actually dislike Ocean's Eleven. It's too flash over substance for me, but I do hope this turns out well.

Hey, wasn't Dakota Fanning seen on the set of this movie? How come no one's said anything about that?

Kim Kardashian having a cameo is rather weird since it's about a robbery and she was a victim of a robbery not too long ago.

Unless there's a joke about it in the movie.

I'm thinking Dakota plays a small role as one of the Ocean's 8's daughters, most likely Sandra Bullock's. From what I get the main heist will take place at te Met Gala so some Kardashians and some other celebrities are doing cameos

I mean, she's almost 23. Plenty old enough for a main role.

Yeah, it'd be nice to see her in more stuff like her sister, if only so that she doesn't devolve into a trainwreck like some other child actors...
