hot take: Ghostbusters (2016) was the best movie since the originals, possibly even on par with or slightly above Ghostbusters 2. it had good wacky energy and didn’t try to take itself seriously like the kids reboot, and it had queer rep that didn’t feel like queerbait, as opposed to the newest movie.
oh, and while I can’t explain why this is, the homages to the original movies and actors felt like proper homages, rather than nostalgia traps like in the reboot series.
I have no real opinion on it outside of a bunch of neckbeard goobergaters lost their shit over it.
that’s definitely a huge plus to it overall, yeah.
It was the true Ghostbusters ethos of a bunch of SNL talent fucking around in a weird but kinda clever movie idea.
i think it would have benefitted from a script
Or maybe less of a script? Sometimes you just need an outline and to let the comedians crack wise
iirc that ghostbusters in particular did a very poor execution of that style.
The 2016 movie was painfully unfunny to me
None of the movies past the original have a reason to exist, but I guess we're stuck with rehashing that shit endlessly since a bunch of Gen Xers ~~liked the 80s cartoon so much~~ made their parents buy merch from the 80s cartoon
My take is "they tried."
I do give it credit for trying to do something new and to try to do it with the SNL basis of the original.
But the treat hogs didn't like it for... reasons.
You'd like the YouTube channel Mr Sunday Movies. One of the hosts agrees
not a fan of youtube channels in general, but I’ll check ‘em out if the youtube mood strikes me in the near future.
