7 Reasons Men Need To Relax About The New Ghostbusters Movie

Here is the real kicker for everyone upset about this movie being made – you don’t have to watch it. Watching Ghostbusters isn’t a compulsory activity mandated by the government. It’s simply a couple of hours of comedy that you can either choose to witness or choose to avoid. That is literally all there is to it.

Its existence does nothing to affect your life in any way. If you sincerely think that a remake of a film is something that is going to wreck your childhood, then you need to seriously reassess your priorities. You shouldn’t define your entire past by the legacy of a 1980s comedy. In fact, a remake of any movie, no matter how beloved, should not ruin your day, let alone your childhood.

Because there is such a simple solution to the alleged problems that men have had with this film, it is impossible for logically minded people to take the complaints seriously. There is no rational reason to spew the level of hate that has been thrown up on this movie. The only reasonable conclusion is that people reacting this violently are either scared of losing influence, or actively enjoy dwelling in the hate.

If you’re scared, don’t be. Just save your money and watch your old Ghostbusters DVDs, and enjoy the serenity that comes from accepting your life will continue the same tomorrow as it has today, regardless of what happens with Ghostbusters.

And if you enjoy it… well, that's just kind of pathetic.
