Haven’t been this unabashedly excited about a show returning in a while

God, based on everything I’ve read, I honestly can’t tell how the “irritating Reddit nerd” contingent is going to respond to this one. On the one hand, it seems like they would be likely to gnash their teeth and scream, “Hey, where’s Bill Murray?! Who are these fuckin’ kids?! This is different! I hate this!”

Here’s why I think Ghostbusters (1984) works so well. Venkman is slimy, lazy and cares not a jot about ghosts. Faced with maddening, Lovecraftian horrors, ancient, vengeful gods and a being as tall as a skyskraper, he thinks its all a joke and he’s still looking to get laid. Thats what you can’t recapture. A man for…

To me, Ghostbusters was lightning in a bottle. It wouldn’t have worked with any other actors or at any other time. Coming off of Stripes sensibilities and cast I think writer and director Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman knew they had a winning follow up applying that to a cadre of would-be ghost hunters for hire. They…

ghostbusters 2 was one of the first times i was disappointed by a movie (didn’t know that was a possibility!) and a lot of that had to do with how much fun the cartoon had been at fleshing out the characters.

Time (and money...mostly money) makes fools of us all.

Yeah, this is about a I was expecting. I'll probably watch it in 5 years on Disnapplemount Ultra when I'm stoned and go "eh." 

Ghostbusters’ appeal was its irreverence—it understood that any ghost-hunting business would operate like a bunch of particularly nerdy exterminators, and that the kind of people who would actually set out to be a ghostbuster would be various flavors of crackpot. The tone of quivering Spielbergian reverence towards…

I mean, I’ll likely watch it, but I kind of.. viscerally hated this clip, I think for a few reasons:

This feels like such a weird scene to pick for hype, it was honestly very slow. Maybe part of that’s because I know where all this is going and want them to get on with it, but.

Still looks so generic. But here’s hoping it gets better.

2003 Dave would probably strangle himself to prevent 2021 Dave’s existence if he knew he’d become the sorta asshole who panders to the people who made him quit Chappelle’s Show in the first place.

Through unfortunate circumstances she becomes the clear new lead for the Black Panther series, and then she just decides to die on this hill which could cost her that position. Smort

I’m a nurse at a major general hospital. We’ve seen a lot of death and suffering. Talking to fellow nurses, and doctors, the people in our lives “just asking questions” have no interest in listening or believing our stories. I’ve given up on those people, because analyzing past data, you come to the realization: they…

Rewrite the script so that all of her scenes are inside a real hermetically sealed lab. On her own. Letting her out after shooting finishes optional.

Mine was a classic tale of hubris. I was certain I was right, unassailable in my ivory tower, sneering at all who told me different until I found out (painfully) how wrong I was. I discovered that I could hate Rob Schneider more. After years believing my antipathy for him could go no further, I found out he was an…

Look, I have one job on this lousy site! It’s stupid, but I’m going to do it, okay?!

The Dirtmeister, makin’ corrections! 

overall this edges out wandavision as my fave of these mcu disney+ shows. can’t wait for season 2. some of the most fun i’ve had in the comments since the disqus days, too.

It keeps being said, but LOKI never established this. Loki established that the Infinity Stones don’t work in the TVA. They specifically don’t work in that one place. That’s all that was ever said in the show. Nothing else implies that also don’t work in other dimensions outside of the TVA.
