Ghostbusters Director Paul Feig Would Use Time Machine To Ignore The Internet; We Would Buy More #EctoCooler

ghostbusters-2016

What would you do with a time machine? See Chopin in concert? Kill Hitler? Travel the universe with various human companions having whimsical adventures? Paul Feig, director of 2016's Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, has another idea. If he could travel back in time to before the film was released, he would use the opportunity to ignore the internet. Feig commented about his experience with the film, and the massive misogynist backlash it and its stars received before it even released its first trailer, at the Tribecca Film Festival.

"Before 'Ghostbusters,' I had this sort of lovely relationships with the internet," Feig said onstage at the event earlier this week, according to a report from CNET. "If I could go back in the time machine, I just wouldn't read it … The biggest mistake I made was I took on one of the trolls."

Feig did say that he appreciated the responses to the film from women, some of whom told him, "if I had this movie when I was a kid, I would have been an engineer right now," and expressed interest in helping to provide that kind of inspiration again.

So what would we do if we had a time machine? How thoughtful of you to ask. We would use the time machine to go back to 2016 and purchase more Ecto Cooler, the beloved Hi-C flavor that was brought back for a limited time to promote Ghostbusters: Answer The Call. Even though we have more than 400 of the coveted juice boxes in our basement, we're already dreading the day we run out. Actually, if we had the time machine, we could go back to the 1980s and purchase the original Ecto Cooler. Can you imagine how much money there is to be made off an illicit time-traveling Ecto Cooler racket? You should see what it goes for on eBay right now.

That's what we want for Christmas this year, by the way. The vintage Ecto Cooler, not the time machine. Though we'd also take the time machine. And yes, if we had a thirty year old juice box, we would drink it.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
