You mean he brandishes a gun?

I live to over analyse mindless pop culture bullshit.

You refer to 'Ghostbusters' as "the Scottish Play"? That seems like it would lead to confusion.

"Where's 'Ghostbusters: The Series'?"

Exactly. We can talk about "factors outside of the movie itself" all we like, but the truth is, there are always factors outside the movie that will influence a review: the reviewer's opinion of the director's previous films, how many films in a similar vein have already been released that year, even the attitude of

So it's about ethics in entertainment journalism? Dear God, it's happening again!

I have no idea where I'd place it on the list, but one of the funniest films I've seen in recent years is a French movie called 'Quai d'Orsay' (which IMDb tells me also exists under the name 'The French Minister'). It manages the impressive task of being both deeply cynical and touchingly hopeful about politics, and
