Couldn't there have been something of a joint re-boot/sequel? That would've been pretty interesting to me. It doesn't have to be a 'where are they now' episode focusing on Venkman and Spangler or anything, but if you're going to try to say that the movie is in some way paying homage to the classic, shouldn't there at least be some kind of through-put that's more than just ham-fisted cameos?

Sure, I guess. I'm not sure that they're intending for this to be in the same universe as the originals, though. It seems pretty clear that the original never existed in this movie. The references are just fan service. And most of them are pretty silly. I did like Weaver's though.
Would a reboot/sequel/passing the torch sort of thing have been more interesting? Maybe, maybe not. I do like the idea of that kind of movie. But that's not the movie they made. And the movie they made is good, so I'm down.
