I mean, who cares? It's not as if the original will suddenly disappear from the world.

that movie is a pile of crap made by SJW's and for SJW's. It surprises me not that you would defend this garbage

. Cucks gonna cuck.

Defend? I've not seen it.

Here's what I stated when it was announced.

This reboot is happening because Judd Apatow convinced Sony, currently the worst run film studio, that he, Rogen and friends could reboot it.

They were unable to turn in a suitable script and after seeing "The Interview" in all its suckiness, Apatow then sold his buddy Paul Fieg as the guy to reboot it with a female cast.

I don't think there's a another studio in town that would greenlight this inevitable mess.

But whether or not one likes the movie, it doesn't detract from the originals. Just like you said. The original doesn't disappear.

There's one thing that really frustrates me about the re-boot.

It clearly exists in the same universe as the original ghostbusters yet completely ignores the fact that they were ever a thing.

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.

More interesting? Not sure....but it would at least have been a little more accepted by the original fans. What they've done is a big **** you to the fans of the original film.

My opinion is that Judd Apatow has completely and utterly jumped the shark.

While his early films, like Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Talledega Nights were uniquely funny and entertaining, pretty much everything else he's done, whether it's film or TV, has been well below average, IMO.

Trainwreck, Anchor Man 2, 5 Year Engagement, This is 40, Bridesmaids and Get Him To The Greek were nothing short of blech for me.

I'm a huge fan of the original film and I certainly don't feel that way. Nothing about this felt like a **** you to anyone at all to me.

Shooting the logo in the dick as the final villain? That didn't do that for you?

**Fire Me Boy!** · 07-21-2016, 10:59 AM

I will give a mod all of my casino cash from now until eternity if they'll filter the word "cuck" and it's various forms.

My god, that got old quick.

Nah. That didn't even cross my mind until I saw you guys posting about it. I thought it was a great lowbrow joke. Appropriate to the tone of the film and maybe one of the best "crotch hit" jokes I've seen in a while.

Apatow didn't direct Ghostbusters or Bridesmaids, though.

You didn't like Get Him To The Greek, eh? I actually thought that movie was hilarious.

As for the rest, spot on. This is 40 was as 'head up your own ass' a movie as I've ever seen. It's amazing that the same guy that made Sarah Marshall could generate that thing (Sarah Marshall holds up great to this day).

**Baby Lee** · 07-21-2016, 11:19 AM

I'm working on a retooling of Entourage, where the boys go to the Caribbean for romance.

I'm calling it 'How Vinny Got His Groove Back.'

I blame Lena.

Nicholas Stoller made Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek.
