Ghostbuster Remake Channing Tatum

Who ya gonna call? At this point, it's too confusing to say for sure. Following yesterday's news that Channing Tatum would be starring in yet another Ghostbusters reboot — this one featuring a male cast, as opposed to Paul Feig's all-female version — fans took to Twitter to express their joy, annoyance, and befuddlement. Though the reactions vary, the consensus seems to be confusion over the supposed need for another remake. There's also irritation that Tatum & Co. are stealing Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon's thunder. Not an unfair assessment. Either way, a trending topic is a trending topic. Since we love a good debate, especially when it's limited to 140 characters, we thought we'd share some of the tweets that made us snicker, nod in agreement, and punch the air. Read them below, and may the best Ghostbuster win.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for an all-transgender cast of #Ghostbusters

I wish they made Boy versions and Girl versions of every movie. So I can know which movies rule and which movies drool. #Ghostbusters

Am I to understand that ghost busting is similar to human sports like football in that the men and women have separate games? #Ghostbusters

I hear Sony is making a Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt reboot called Unbreakable Kimbo Slice about an invincible street fighter. #ghostbusters

Or a coed #Ghostbusters could work, but the women would need to adhere to a strict ghostbusting dress code, so the men can focus. #amaright?

I hope the new #Ghostbusters movie does the right thing and casts John Mayer as Slimer.

Sony making TWO Ghostbusters movies now. One-male & one-female. Female one will run 77 minutes for every 100 minutes of male version.
