Good to know!

You’re welcome! Thanks for writing this article! I hope it saves lives. :-)

Glad to hear it!

I wrote this below but I don’t want it to get lost in the subthreads, because it’s important:

GoodRx.com’s search engine is confusing. If you search for Adrenaclick it automatically gives you the price for its generic, which is where you get the ~$140+ price point. You have to specify “Adrenaclick” under “Prescription…

I tried comparing prices between Adrenaclick and its generic in a few of US zip codes and the generic came out cheaper on all.

In San Jose, California, for example, Adrenaclick starts at $466 while its generic starts at $144. In New York, NY, Adrenaclick starts at $479 while its generic starts at $192.

I suspect you…

Thanks for the reply, Beth!

The quoted price is the base price/retail price, but the patient’s actual cost will depend on the insurance coverage and co-pay. It’s my understanding that in the US, once those factors are accounted-for the generic is usually a bit cheaper than the name-brand. (But I could be wrong. I…

Beth, there is also a generic epinephren auto-injector available. Would you please consider updating your post to mention this? I know families whose children’s lives were saved by the generic. They had been priced out of the EpiPen and would have gone without had it not been for the generic.

A Faraday cage for one’s head!

It’s disheartening that your sparring partner keeps getting starred for his/her comments. I mean, JFC.

But keep up the good work!

In other words “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”!

Yes, very sad. :-(
And it’s as if all the people who are naysaying Ghostbusters now have forgotten about how Fury Road and Force Awakens were both critical and box office successes...

“And if your cousin is the one I hope she is, I love her so much”

—Seconded. :-)

Hands-down the best thing about the Ghostbusters reboot is the cast. Even if we don’t get a sequel, I hope that we will get to see them together again.

Honestly I think both Star Wars: Force Awakens and Mad Max: Fury Road benefited from keeping mum that their leads are women for as long as possible.

I don’t even want my children to see the original (or its sequel). At least not until they are old enough to have the critical thinking skills to see through the sexist bullshit. The reboot is a bit too scary for my youngest right now, but I’m looking forward to seeing it with my eldest when it comes out on streaming…

I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But IMHO the Ghostbusters reboot fell somewhere between “new and exciting artistic insight” and “lazy repetition of the old and stale, fired up for the purpose of making a bunch of money”. I personally didn’t think that it quite lived up to the first goal, but I would be…

You know, the CGI ghosts were one of my favourite things about the movie. I had thought the point was to make them look overblown and cheesy — as another homage to the original.

Oh god, the Venkman character is the worst. And he cannot be redeemed by “Well of course he’s the worst, that’s the point” because he is very clearly supposed to be a cool dude and he is very much rewarded with sex with Sigourney Weaver at the end. I remember watching it as a child and feeling confused about why…

Thank you, m’am!

I should clarify that even though I thought the movie had some problems, I still liked it AND I liked it much better than the original. I just do not understand why the original is so beloved, especially 30 years on when the jokes come across as gross and sexist.

Did you... see the new Ghostbusters? Because it had all the things you list: Different character names, locations, time periods, dialogue, situations, different themes and aspects of the human condition explored.

I think your comment may be more true than you realise. How many women were put off seeing this in theatres because of fears that the relentless internet bullying would carry over into the real world? After the mass shooting at that screening of Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck”, I know it crossed my mind that it would be…
