Just an idea I had. I'd be more for a reboot of police academy than this thing. Ghosbusters can't be remade or even rebooted. It's a lot like trying to remake back to the future or even reboot the franchise and do the same premise but with new actors, and story. It's destined to fail. BTTF is a weird lightning in a bottle film that some how got made, thankfully got made, and really was a masterpiece of film making. To recapture that is damn near impossible.
But you can remake police academy all day and no one will complain or give a damn about it being done wrong... I got this weird vibe watching the clips, like I was just watching something that felt so offfffff as shit. I do indeed feel repelled by watching a bunch of women playing with shit that men have been and will continue to do, be engineers of big massive tech shit. It's just making no sense. 90% of the people who are in charge of massive engineering projects are very extremely smart men. How the hell does it make sense that not one man is doing anything to stop the influx of ghosts. It simply doesn't. You're telling me, very smart men with wives and kids, would NOT step up to bat if there was a threat to their family? Oh you got another thing coming...
The movie looks like it's not going to make a dent at the box office to me, sorry to say.
We're looking at another Planet of the apes, wonka chocolate factory, and robocop on our hands.
I declare today to be saddened by that, that that's how my ghostbusters will return to cinemas, a sad sputter, not a loud, amazing, triumphant return to form.
I mean, f'n independence day resurrgence bombed. Ninja turtles bombed. Movies that you'd think would at least easily get people in the theaters to check them out, how the fuck did they fail.
Now we have fembusters on our hands. Oh good lord, what a tragedy. Yeah, the movie's decent. But it NEEEEEEEDED to be great. To shut us fanboys with no lives up and make us all love ghostbusters again. Decent doesn't CUT IT.
Ghostbusters came out amongst a lot of comedies in its day about weird technology and crazy science. But it stood out primarily because it truly and masterfully created an iconic film franchise from the ground up all on its own and had just brilliant comedy veterans working on it. To just make a durpy limp reboot to capitalize on the original's hard won greatness is awful. Nobody calling these guys out on it, but it's not a good idea.
I feel so sick inside about this. Yeah it's pathetic, but I've been a ghosthead all my life, since the days of RGB. I've never thought I'd NOT want to see ghostbusters. Here I stand, just not interested, ME, not giving a toss about watching ghostbusters. My first movie that I EVER saw as a tiny tot at the movies. YEP. You think you're reading the words of some whiny little spoiled brat, NO. Ghostbusters 2 was my FIRST movie. My father's done a lot of dumb things in my childhood, but I'll always appreciate that day he brought me to see GB2, don't even know why he did it, but it's emblazoned in my skull the exprenice of seeing GB2 in cinemas as a toddler. I was there, I LIVED IT. And I'll never forget it... I of course watched the cartoon religiously. Everything about my personality mannerisms, hell, ME is linked to ghostbusters. I LOVE ghostbusters. So sick inside that they've taken it and twisted it in front of my face at my age now. Yeah, so sick...
