You seem more concerned about its Metacritic score dropping from 100 to 98 than if the movie is good or not. It’s not out for another month, wait to complain then.

I assume the mission with this one was to avoid the greatest horror of all, retroactively ruining fanboys’ childhoods.

“Well, IGN says the latest Call of Duty sequel is 10 out 10 and has a little bit of fun for everyone, any critic that disagrees is clearly not doing their job right”
-A lot of fucking idiots

It seems like the kind of name that’s meant to be hilarious to kids but that no actual person would have.

Mr. Grooberson.

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.

Dude, if you’ve convinced yourself that the older, kinja-less version of the AVClub would go any easier on this trifle, I don’t know what to tell you.

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

I would have been satisfied if the film acknowledged the original cartoon show as part of the canon, where Slimer was the mascot. The show had a lot of clever writing, including Future Babylon Five writer/producer J. Michael Straczynski.

The original Ghostbusters worked because it had Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray in their comedic prime and...nope, that’s pretty much it. Even Ghostbusters II was a flabby, pale copy of the original that coasted way too much on nostalgia.

Hey, it’s actually exactly what the trailer promised! That’s...disappointing. 

She knows, she just doesn’t care because senators and congresspeople don’t worry about losing their jobs. People mindlessly reelect them as long as they have the right letter after their name.

She’s not naïve. She’s rich. She did what any rich person would have done in that situation. It’s cold as fuck, I’m going to Cancun to the Ritz for some spa time. Notice who came back. NOT HER. Fuck you, Ted, you’re the one that wants to run for president, you go there. I’m staying here with my rich ass.

You underestimate how little the wealthy class thinks they will ever be held to account for anything.

This is probably why Lindsey Graham is so determinedly single. Unless there’s another reason.

Assuming you as a family feel any shame whatsoever, or care if your spouse keeps his job. She’s a partner at Goldman. He’s highly employable, probably even after this. There are no consequences for them because they just don’t care what people think. 

Both of them seem to be skating on “well, they’ll vote for us anyway” sheer brass balls.

Her naïveté and bad judgment through all this is striking. A political spouse of 10+ years really ought to know better than to participate in bad optics. Even if he had suggested it, the job of political families is to try to minimize and anticipate any embarrassing exposures for their political family member.
