After one too many sexist Twitter trolls got in his face about his forthcoming all-female “Ghostbusters” remake, a vacationing Paul Feig —who we like to imagine floating languidly on an inflatable swan, pants and suit sleeves generously rolled up to avoid splashback — decided to give his critics a bit of a talking to.

You all have no idea what we did, so stop acting like you do. Enough is enough. Just let this movie happen. #enough https://t.co/lBZGHaNEbz

You've been ranting at me and my cast for months with misogyny and insults. So go fuck yourself. Goodnight. #enough https://t.co/r3XNfWP68c
