Economics is mainly a two-sided issue of expansion and opportunity.

Also stupid shortsightedness and greed overcoming long term viability.

That's private enterprising. Economics is a broad-based study more like geography.

As much as I love economics, being in academy let me know it's no less ideologically driven than any other field of study.

I did and I loved it! It's a different kind of film from the first two, more like those 'kids' adventure' films they don't seem to make anymore, or maybe its just me.

For the sake of spoilers I will avoid details but there is a bit at the end that feels really shoehorned in, but it's a minor detail anyway.

Is it as good as the original, probably not, but if you like Ghostbusters you should get a kick out of this.

Neat I guess. My point still stands.

I'll just say that I actually looked forward to this film because it had actors and filmmakers who made better and funnier movies in the past (BRIDESMAIDS is probably my favorite comedy of the 2010s), and this was a sad disappointment. It's a film that neither pleases Ghostbusters fans or fans of this cast and crew.

That said... 17 pages? Really? Was this film that big of a deal for you folks?
