It's Maine that has the ice cold beaches. Part of the tough Mass experience is that we also get humid midsummer days up in the 90s, in sharp contrast to the winter. The water's always cold in Maine.

Nope. Central Mass.

Amazing that only now did it occur to me that recording sped up voices to coincide with regular-speed music must be difficult. Must've been even harder back the 60s when the Chipmunks started.

I do think The Librarians is kind of fun, though a little dumb sometimes. My biggest obstacle is wanting to slap the guy with the Aussie accent anytime his speaks.

I remember watching On the Lot for a while when it was on, and it had its moments. But I think mostly I just found that it was entertaining to listen to Garry Marshall talk for a while.

I always found it interesting that they obviously made his L&O character a conservative guy to match his real politics, as opposed to the other liberal DAs on the show.

Yeah! It took a while, but I was waiting for the first obituary comment that calls the dead guy a piece of shit!

Yep. Just glimpsed in a splash page of images.

Maybe that's true for Transformers, but I didn't think G.I. Joe was all that successful with the movies, though they may have done okay. And though Jem isn't exactly the same kind of genre, maybe if they found some woman director who loved the cartoon as a little girl they wouldn't have got a barely-advertised movie…

McCarthy is a sometimes-funny person for me. I like her in some things but get tired of it when she goes into the "it's funny that I'm gross and uncouth" kind of thing. With Jones, she seems to always fall back on getting mad and yelling.

There's a Ghostbusters comic out now and one mini-series had the characters meeting their alter egos from the 1980s cartoon, and it even briefly showed a whole Ghostbusters "multiverse".

Well, you know what I mean. Plus, with CGI and a movie about ghosts, who knows?

I'm not against the idea of a comedy starring women. But I do get annoyed when that's the whole premise. "Ghostbusters, but with women." Give us something original instead.

If the movie turns out to be funny, I'll probably be on board. But the original is so iconic, I'm resistant. If it actually was a sequel with a Stanz or Venkman cameo, I'd get more interested.

…crap, that doesn't make me misogynist AND racist, does it?

If the movie does turn out to be really funny, people will be more accepting. I do like McKinnon, and Wiig is sometimes ok, but I'm not interested in 90 minutes of Jones being loud and angry. That wore thin after a couple SNL episodes.

Actually, I think I would feel much better about this movie if it became a Ghostbusters sequel. Forget about taxi driver cameos of the original actors. Have the original guys have become legendary, and the ladies have to seek out Ray or Egon or something.

America is sick of hearing about your damn backs and forths!

"Finally, for the people who hate the idea of a Ghostbusters reboot for reasons that have nothing to do with misogyny: Are you sure?"
Can we stop with this stuff? As if it's crazy to suggest this could be the case. Like, if they announced a Ghostbusters reboot starring a bunch of dudes everyone would love it?

Aren't there any talented, successful directors and/or writers out there who were big G.I. Joe or Transformers fans as kids? Come on, there's gotta be one or two of them!
