A scene popped in my head. Remember when dean gave multiple middle fingers to Erin, Abby and Jillian? I pictured the same scene but with Ivan doing the same thing to Feig and Pascal
This scene, aka the middle finger scene, is everything I loath about GB'16 distilled into one sequence. It goes on too long, is cringe worthy and is completely unnecessary. Imagine Dean Yeager from GB1 mugging the camera like this? I don't want to turn this into a GB'16 hate thread, but it's just I saw you reference that scene and couldn't help myself. It just amazes me how anyone could find that scene funny. It's cinematic the equivalent of "LOOK AT ME! SEE! LOOK WHAT IM DOING OVER HERE!"
I just can't get over how crazy that business was. The internet VS Ghostbusters reboot. What a ride.
Anyways, I trust Reitman the Younger. I dig his style. It's dry, grounded and never over the top. He isn't into the Apatow Riff improv style that was part of GB'16s undoing. This is a great choice. Also, I LOVE Monster House. Didn't Gil Kenan do "City of Ember" as well? That was a decent little movie(with Mr. Murray to boot). Plus he's a friggin legend over at Disney.
At this point I could care less if Bill Murray is in this or not. That's the truth. I don't want another half ass, lazy Bill Murray performance. I'm fine with Dan & Ernie doing their thing. I just hope they make Egon's notable absence a joke worthy of Mr Ramis. Something like he was working on a "Quantum Tunneling" experiment and his body was sucked/ripped into 7 different planes of Space Time at once. "Right now we think a piece of his nose *might* be in Ancient Rome, around 23 CE. Or his pinky toe. It's either his nose or his pinky toe. We can't be sure. But his Left Ear *is* on the moon, that much we can be sure of. Did I say "the moon"? Sorry. I meant "A moon". Possibly one of Jupiters". Ray Stanz checks sheet of paper "Or Saturn".
