Happy 8th anniversary, Ghostbusters: Answer The Call!

-Year 7 (Trump indicted, ATC still on cable, video game DLC)

What's happened since last year...

AMC did a marathon of GB 1 & 2, and ATC to advertise Frozen Empire.
Update- And now AMC is playing the everliving shit out of just ATC!

Also this..



Frozen Empire pulled lots of influence from the animated show, as did ATC, so FE feels quite a bit like ATC.
It didn't go full MAD Magazine wacky style with all the dance numbers and stuff, but they're headed there. They're headed into weirdo territory.
The precious mainline continuity is catching up to the cartoon for wackiness.
And no one complained.
So, you know, we now know for sure the CHUDs were picking at and magnifying any other flaw to hide their misogyny and Trumpism.

That's how they roll.
A black celebrity that racists don't like, they wait for them to drop their sandwich on the ground, and 3 second rule it, then do 30 YT videos of "stuuuupiiid fuuucking biiiitch!! Eating a ground saaandwiiiich!! Ohhhh myyy gaaawwdd!!!".
Like, no, no one's that berserk over a sandwich. It's racism.
Learn the fucking code, people.
A motherfucker has 50 videos of himself with a red Hulk-rage face in the thumbnails over Brie Larson, he's got something else going on.
And it's not harmless or cute, whatever it is.
No one popping the tendons in their neck over ATC was really a "I just don't like remakes" person.
The real "I just don't like remakes" people just didn't watch the fucking thing.
They weren't stroking out on camera for clicks.
Or giving that fucker likes and shares.
I'm way past done with this "legitimate complaints" gaslight game.
And I just don't mean this movie.
I see it with closet TERFs, and anti-Biden Democrats.
Fuck y'all.

Speaking of politics!!!

Paul Feig has kicked himself for "making the movie such a damned cause".
If it had made 700 million, and Trump's candidacy imploded with the pussy tape, he'd be singing a different tune.
The MAGAs have terrorized him. Fuck MAGA.

Oh, and Trump (ATC's most famous non-fan) is a convicted felon now.
So, add that to the pile along with twice impeached, found liable for rape, failed casino owner, repeated business failure, and cause of Republican electoral shellacking in 2020, and 2022.
And traitor.

Update-
Yeah, guess I can't ignore history.
An attempted a-word tried to un-alive Trump. He only got an ear boo-boo.
The media is turning itself into pretzels to pity him, and make this a national tragedy.
I'm glad he didn't die, because MAGA would've made him a martyr, and tried to kick off a civil war.
But he's alive, so fuck that guy. He's still all of the things I said above.
I still want him in a cell. The judge in his election interference trial had better not let him go because of fucking boo-boo pity.

Update 2-
Y'know what? I'm not going out on fucking Trump.
I'll re-review the movie.
I love that it really is a reboot.
I like that more the further out we get.
The packs are new, the uniforms are new, the traps are new, the car is new, the characters are new, the score is new, they really did rebuild it from the ground up.
Afterlife and Frozen Empire wallow in nostalgia, and I like that too, but this one really did try to TNG that shit.
How I dearly wish the girls could come back for a crossover in part 5.
They probably won't though. Ghost Corps acts like they're scared of anything to do with this flick.
That's just chickenshit and sad.

Anyway!! Cast/director updates!!

-Paul Fiege directed "Jackpot" with Awkwafina, and "A Simple Plan 2" finally started shooting.
-Chris Hemsworth was just in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and is Optimus Prime in the upcoming "Transformers One".
-Melissa McCarthy was just in "Unfrosted" Jerry Sienfeld's movie about the Pop Tarts guy.
-Christen Wiig is in "Palm Royale".
-Kate McKinnon was in "Barbie" in her second greatest role since Holtzmann.
-Leslie Jones was in "Good Burger 2".
-And the original cast who did cameos in ATC just did "Frozen Empire". 😉

So, everyone's still chugging along.
