I don’t remember any jokes from it, but that could reflect my lack of much memory of it at all.

I think that I’m more of a Jason Reitman fan than you, because I fondly remember him making a cynical film with “Thank You for Smoking”, and this is not the Ghostbusters 3 he joked about making.

What does Landis have to do with Ghostbusters?

I thought Akroyd was the voice saying “We’re closed” at the end of the trailer.

The same age at which Anya Taylor-Joy learned English (via Harry Potter), though she’d already been living in England since she was 6.

It’s pretty unusual for anyone to recommend that Akroyd write the script.

I don’t think the 2016 film “sparked” Reitman (who as far as I know never denigrated that film) to make this. Rather, I think the poor performance of his previous films led him to conclude he needed a sure-fire hit, and the poor performance of the 2016 one led the studio to conclude an Abrams-esque nostalgiafest was…

I was curious about the timing, because I don’t think the film is being released until November, and I thought usually reviews dropped around the same week as the release (unless it’s from a festival).

Arguably, this review is more valuable for being distinct from the others. Even if it’s by indicating that the only critics who dislike it are ones with criteria very different from yours!

I like a number of Jason Reitman’s movies, but he never struck me as ambitious enough to be the next Great American Director.

What would you say was the best ripoff?

I didn’t read this interview in order to avoid spoilers for Titane, but the term “cinematic universe” is overused and I am going to guess the two films are independent rather than being in some MCU-like secondary world.

I thought “Blumhouse Tilt” was their label for movies with even lower than normal budgets. And I think “Upgrade” was one such example.

Huh, I was only familiar with the alternative being Junior High between elementary & high school.

Maybe so, but it’s still a Max Landis show.

Fiona Dourif seems like a performer I’d be interested in watching but chooses some lousy projects. I have seen her in Tenet, but it was a very minor role.

It’s a 10 film franchise for which few remember any beyond the first entry.

That’s a pretty good ranking. I’m not as much into Dio’s solo stuff.

I kind of doubt conservatives are thinking much about the Hellraiser franchise.

Wasn’t he a castmember on the Daily Show long ago? And the Dana Carvey Taco Show? I think he was in the car with Dana when they paid at a fast food place then drove off without picking up the food.
