I ain't afraid of no ghost week.

Extreme Ghostbusters did a good job of taking the Batman TAS route with "if you can't kill people on the show, make it so that something happens to them even more horrific than if they were dead."

Like the bone-stealing demon...

Peck was absolutely in the wrong.

Nah he is 99% in the wrong, but that 1% is still a doozy. He had a right to be concerned about both their methods and motivations, as well as their legitimacy. The GBs do act unbelievably cavalierly, and it is a miracle they didn't hurt someone, they do need some form of oversight. Where he went wrong was getting personal about it, and appointing himself as the one person in authority who was gonna take them down. Once he stopped listening to his own experts and expected things to turn out right just because he felt strongly enough about something, that is where he really f'ed up though.

Now I'm wondering about an alternative version of the movie, following the style of the Chernobyl miniseries.

Now I'm just imagining a scene where Ray's hair is falling out, Egon is starting to bleed from open sores, Winston starts losing teeth, and Peter is screaming in bed from the pain and is slowly dying of cancer, all the while insulting everyone around him and saying that it's not his fault.

[J!!]

I would watch several of the fucks out of that.

My wife really enjoyed Ghostbusers 2016, and I had fun with it.

It's not a constant repeat go back to regularly film, but its perfectly watchable and deserved nowhere near the sheer bile that got tossed at it.

If it didn't work for you, or the humor wasn't your thing, that's fine. But just "it wasn't as good as the original" is an awful point when Ghostbusters 2 already exists, and that had all the same talent attached to it as the first one and was made in the same era.

Ghostbusters 2 isn't as bad as it's reputation. While it doesn't really do anything new, It's still an enjoyable sequel. GB2016 on the other hand had...nice special effects. That's the only nice thing I can say about that movie. Saw it once. I don't intend to watch it again.

I will just say this the original ghostbusters was like the SNL of the time and gb2016 is like Modern SNL.

That's a good way to describe it.

Thanks.

I think that Ghostbusters 2 was a serviceable film, but it really did not have the "oomph" of the first one, which really had a good climax.

Another problem was that if you grew up with the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, seeing an alternate history where the Ghostbusters basically got screwed over right after the events of Ghostbusters I (instead of having adventures afterwards) makes it a lot less relatable.
