sure, but there is no way that Filmation cartoon would have existed if the Ghostbusters movie hadn't been such a big hit. it was a direct attempt to cash in on it without having any official affiliation

same was true in Pinball, actually. throughout the 80s and 90s, Gottlieb, one of the very earliest and most respected pinball companies, was releasing really lame knock-off games like Hollywood Heat (a lame unlicensed Miami Vice ripoff) and El Dorado (a lame unlicensed "Indiana Jones" ripoff) while (relatively) new…

in 1986 i was ten, and even then i could tell the Filmation version was an inferior knockoff. every kid i knew was of the same opinion. we also all greatly preferred Transformers to Go-Bots, again because the latter seemed lame, counterfeit, and obviously inferior. yeah, yeah, in both cases the "cheap knockoff" is…

you take your dumps outside??

our neighborhood facebook page had people complaining about an unending string of midnight visitors to the water tower on their street, wondering if it was some kind of drug hookup spot or what… nope, just a rare pokemon opportunity (or something … i don't play the game)

wow, that is really messed up, humanity!

well, i think trailers hadn't yet been appreciated as an artform yet, really. i think Joe vs the Volcano is probably the very worst, most misleading trailer ever. the movie is melancholy and surreal, but the trailer makes it look like a madcap farce.

i mean, the movie is ridiculous, but it is not "chainsaws coming through the walls, human-sized barbecue grills" ridiculous. it is "driving your garbage to the curb in the middle of the night and beating the hell out of it with a shovel" ridiculous.

man that 'Burbs trailer is like 60% footage from a brief crazy dream Tom Hanks' character has, making the film look a lot sillier and cartoonish than it actually is :(

well at least they're only a minute long.

Again proving himself the most likable Rayburn. John would probably give em to his kids and Kevin would come up with some stupid scheme to trade them for drugs and plant them at Lowry's place or something. I assume Meg would just have sex with them.

yeah it's the sole reason i hesitate to put this album on anymore, even though this record is way better than it has any right to be as a 1996 punk rock reunion album.

so you are operating from the assumption that the reviewer is incapable reviewing it honestly.

and punch drunk love. not a comedy. yeah adam sandler is in it, and like most of his movies, it only has one or two funny parts, but that was on purpose this time.

so …. animated films can't be comedies?

That might be the most naive thing I've ever seen posted on the Internet. Cops calling out other cops, lol.

Man you really are true garbage huh?

it really doesn't matter. it can be handwaved away a dozen different ways. for example — it's the 24th century. we here in the 21st don't talk very much like people talked 300 years ago. and who can really say what widespread tech and instant travel will do to regional accents and dialects.

Riker had a sense of humor. any time someone like Picard, Troi, or Worf are being embarassed or made uncomfortable, the best part is always Riker grinning like an idiot in the background.
