The problem with 2016 was that it wasn’t funny. There was clearly a LOT of bad improvisation going on. Unlike with the original four, there was no real straight (wo)man in the group. Everyone was dialed to 11 and there was no one who was funny for just being so self-serious. The only character I liked was Leslie…

The Star Wars sequels were going great, then Rise of Skywalker happened.

I just looked and Weaver has never won an Oscar.   She is fucking amazing in everything she is in.  

The issue is with the first sentence. The Ghostbusters “franchise” is the problem

There was no Sigourney Weaver,  only Zuul.

It’s been said before, but the original actually was lightning in a bottle. It was a combination of fine comedic actors at their peaks as well as excellent writing and direction. Even the same team wasn’t able to replicate what made the first one so special.

I’m always a bit mystified that people rarely credit Sigourney Weaver’s performance in Ghostbusters. Her acting elevated the movie, and the chemistry between her and Bill Murray created the heart of the story. IMHO, that’s the missing piece of the sequels - someone outside the primary quartet you actually cared about.

If you gathered all the executives at Sony Pictures together and told them to boil a pot of water they’d end up burning down the house and then steal the insurance money.

I can’t say for sure, but if I had that amount of money, I could stay out of trouble. Or at least not film myself committing crimes.

I am really, REALLY curious how someone else wearing a mask affects him.

Anyone that is that insistent that they aren’t drunk is absolutely drunk. In other news, what an utter child. 

Given SBC’s work on behalf of the genocide, it’s not surprising in the least that he’s a fucking monster.

Because you think that means that as a child he deserved to be raped? As a child? And the fact that he was raped (apparently repeatedly) is probably why he turned out that way.   It’s called a “cycle of abuse” for a reason.

Maybe it’s like cilantro where it tastes completely awful to a lot of people, but I can’t imagine disliking dill. Salmon, potato salad, not to mention nearly the entirety of both Greek and Polish cuisine.

Counterpoint: Dill is wonderful and people probably shouldn’t take life advice from the founder of a new-age, snake oil company with a corporate ethos that essentially boils down to: “If you want a good life, then make sure you’re born wealthy.”

It's a beut! It clocks in under 90 minutes! What’s not to like?

I always disliked this movie. Because he spent the whole film teaching the kids to be a band, then took over at their big moment and hogged centre stage. What a letdown.

Orange County is a gem! A GEM!

Contrary opinion: all but a handful of these are some of the worst songs of all time.
