Even the Junior Ghostbusters and the Slimer spinoff, which are generally reviled, hadn't prompted anything as close in sentiment... it's a sad first here, seeing people saying they're glad something to do with the Ghostbusters franchise was unsuccessful.They think it's a victory, they seriously think Hollywood is going to magically declare "No more remakes! From now on we'll be totally original!" And it's all thanks to them! Yeah...that's cute...
Kingpin wrote:I know The Force Awakens didn't strike far out into new territory, but it wasn't the type of film that'd "run Star Wars into the ground" that was The Phantom Menace.People complain about the prequels, but somehow none of them flopped. Using the detractors' logic, that makes them masterpieces! Right next to the oh so cultured Bayformers.

This is not a Ghostbusters movie.

How are some of you not burned out/thoroughly fed up with arguing about it/taking pot shots at each other?I just want to talk about the movie itself, how it was made, etc. etc. At this point I have no interest in arguing about the controversy it caused, it's boring to be honest.
