hot take: Ghostbusters (2016) was the best movie since the originals, possibly even on par with or slightly above Ghostbusters 2. it had good wacky energy and didn’t try to take itself seriously like the kids reboot, and it had queer rep that didn’t feel like queerbait, as opposed to the newest movie.
oh, and while I can’t explain why this is, the homages to the original movies and actors felt like proper homages, rather than nostalgia traps like in the reboot series.
It was the true Ghostbusters ethos of a bunch of SNL talent fucking around in a weird but kinda clever movie idea.
i think it would have benefitted from a script
Or maybe less of a script? Sometimes you just need an outline and to let the comedians crack wise
iirc that ghostbusters in particular did a very poor execution of that style.
