That might be the furthest I’ve ever seen a writer get up his own ass.  At the very least, Harmon deserves credit for that.

I’m not sure it’s a lack of talent on her part.  There were some choices made here, both by her and the director, that have the ultimate effect, for me, of making her seem inhuman in some way.  Her face is almost never seen full on or in full light; thanks to this episode (where her face *is* finally seen that way),…

I was more thrown by it when she was acting in a scene with the equally awful Sergei. Now I’ve written it off as a Mamet-esque tick - like the acting in “House of Games” - so I can move past it. But yeah, not sure why she’s carrying the show.

It’s pretty bad... and interesting that it was somewhat intentional in parts of this episode (where she was acting like she was acting). Hopefully she gets better as the show goes on.

Yes, thank you! She’s awful in this. 

I haven’t seen the third episode yet, but her acting is terrible, and she’s the main character(!).

“It’s dumb that they just brought back Palps after not mentioning him in either of the previous movies. Like we’re supposed to believe that he was like just off-screen the entire time.”

first season really blew, finger crossed he discovers a little more nuance for this season.

You just answered your own question.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Del Toro’s adaptations so I didn’t have a lot of hope for this one. I also HATED the way he looked. His dumb face was hard to look at. Also, that ending where they all swing in and shoot the bad guys (before they find Abe...), the worst.

Dude was knocked down twice, humanity dictated that fight be stopped. No respect for the trash talking racist.

“He was doing great, until he got his ass beat.” LOL

yeah he won the majority of the fight until he got his jaw re-aligned. go cry some more.

Too often, The Next Level passes off callbacks to gags from its predecessor as jokes, all while presuming that viewers have an unhealthy familiarity with the Jumanji canon. (To anyone who hasn’t seen Welcome To The Jungle: Good luck figuring out who Colin Hanks and Nick Jonas are supposed to be playing in this movie.)…

I agree. The whole point of Ghostbusters is that, despite their knowledge of the arcane, the biggest enemies they had were bureaucracy, paying their rent, and their hilariously antisocial work-a-day behavior, not whether or not they were believed (or, worse, believed in themselves or something saccharine like that).

I…

So tonally this trailer is all Super 8/Stranger Things and not even a little bit Ghostbusters. 

Holy shit, this. Americans are weird.

but who’s got the time?

I agree except that Tom Petty is dead, and also, even if he were alive your analogy wouldn’t make the best one.  But maybe you have an irrational hatred of dead tom petty, what do i know.  

He literally said why he didn’t want to make it a miniseries. Whether you agree with it or not is up to you, but don’t act like he didn’t address it, because he did if you read the article you’re responding to.
