Fuck you – I loved Dave.

twins rules!

I'll keep beating this drum. Ivan should not be directing. With the inclusion of a new generation of "Ghostbusters", and a new brand of humor, his son JASON REITMAN should be directing this. Obviously more talented than his pops.

I was afraid of this. I was all for as many original people as possible to be involved, EXCEPT Reitman directing (producing would be fine). He is done as a director. Tank empty. This will be a payday for him and nothing more (like he needs MORE money). A fresh eye on the old crew would make more sense. Of course, having no new younger Ghostbusters in 3 makes more sense too, until a part four and have them attempt to take the franchise wheel fully. This "passing the torch crap" never works.

…maybe they'll be smart and throw in some jabs about GB2. Like, "I have this horrible recurring nightmare where we're moving the Statue Of Liberty around Manhattan with the help of mood slime and a Nintendo controller." But, they'll more likely hire Orlando Jones to stick his head in a supernatural being's giant anus as the climax of the film instead. THAT's comedy, folks. Long live Ivan Reitman.

I'm torn on this. I've lived and breathed ghostbusters all my life. The comparison to Indy 4 is apt because both franchises have a ton of extended universe bullshit, yet for whatever reason can't seem to get a sequel out that's as good as the original. That's the problem with doing sequels, they're usually half assed attempts at re-making the original films. Only Cameron figured out that in order to make a sequel work it has to stand alone as its own story… What story is there left to tell with the GBs? Tons, I can name several episodes of the cartoon that would translate to live action. I have a rgb comics in my room that would easily make a decent film. Possibilities are endless. No doubt in my mind though that it'll end up an Indy 4. Sorry but the time to make this was back in 2004, not now.

What the fuck goes on in some people's minds? Have all original ideas been used up? FFS!

I have never understood why people rip on GB2 so much, and I guess I never will.

In any case, I've been saying this for years: Seth Green, Sarah Silverman, Aziz Ansari, and Patton Oswalt own and operate one of those franchises Venkman was dying to spin off. Have Edgar Wright direct it.

I though Ruben Fleischer would have got the job.

Stripes is the only Reitman movie I'd even consider owning. The things that work in Ghostbusters really have little to do with the direction. The movie is clunky and poorly paced. Dave is easily his best film, but it's not one I'd want to watch over and over. Other than those three, his movies are flat-out bad. I have zero interest in a new Ghostbusters.

Crystal Skulls, Wrinkles, and Receding Hairlines a GOGO!!!!

There! Now you have your subtitle, Mr. Reitman. The ball is in your court.

But wait a minute. They've been bullshitting about the "right" script for 20 years. Boes it really take that much to write a script for fricking Ghostbusters? And what's with all this hate for the second one? It wasn't that bad! Compared to today, an actual sequel is kind of refreshing and it wasn't half bad for its time. If Ghostbusters had come out in 2004 instead of 1984, it would have been remade already. Plus, are the original four even relevant anymore outside of nostalgia? They probably need this film more than we do.

Last sightings:

Bill Murray – needing to be torn away from whatever "I'm old, grumpy, and the 20 year olds still want my cock" dramedy he's doing this week.

Dan Aykroyd – aren't video games cool? I'm going to create video games because people won't buy my scripts no mo'!

Harold Ramis – last seen directing girls gone wild videos and slathering his house size frame in tanning oil.

Ernie Hudson – last seen on Oz.

Yeah, if they want to keep doing this then they need to do this film. But do we need them to?

let me just throw this out there:
Ghostbusters II is not bad. Very not bad. Borderline good

"you're scaring the straights."

"let me just throw this out there: Ghostbusters II is not bad. Very not bad. Borderline good." "And what's with all this hate for the second one? It wasn't that bad!" Wow. You've changed my mind with your ringing endorsements.

GB2 has some great lines and the occasional glimmer of the old magic, but it's watchable at best. I'll catch it on TV for "Yeah, I know Bass Masters", "Carpathian Kitten-Loss", "All new cheap moves" and putting down the baby. The rest is meh…

My favorite part? When the ghost subway "runs over" Zeddemore and he ends up looking like a frizzy-haired Marlon Wayans. Pure comedy gold! GB2 is SUCH a fantastic movie. "Mood slime" is the best maguffin EVER. Reitman is an unadulterated GENIUS, if for no other reason than turning Annie Potts into a cartoon character and making Slimer SUCH an integral character. I mean, he drives a city bus, for chrissake! THAT's filmmaking! And don't even get me started on the multi-layered performance of Sir Peter MacNicol. Plus, there's a baby. Babies are always awesome, and not in the least bit awkward as main characters. Just ask Gutenberg, Selleck, Danson, and the ghost of that dead kid in that one shot. Hey! THAT's what they should do with GB3! Have a "dead kid" tie-in with 3 Men And A Baby! THIS THING PRACTICALLY WRITES ITSELF! Rick Moranis, you fool, get your ass back into the Ghostbusters universe! If 3 is anything like 2, there's nothing to be gained but integrity, dog!
