I hope every original cast member has the same, solitary line, scattered throughout the film.

"Hey, girls! I just wanted to check in and see how the reboot was going!" Exeunt

Interestingly, all their characters are IT guys.

I want to see a Robot called Ghostbusters the Robot thru some cheesy misunderstanding... no I don't.

Personally I prefer Batman the Horse (and If Mandy Patankin was A Horse).

This is intriguing...

Maybe I'm imagining things,
but it looks like a blatant political agenda "disguised" as popular entertainment.

And maybe the most insidious thing being the smug non-disguise.
Normalizing it.

But of course I may also be inappropriately imagining all of this.

I don't mind the Ghostbusters getting remade. Ghostbusters 2 was so disappointing. The thing is, for me, Ghostbusters is Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, and Dan Aykroyd shooting the breeze. The screenwriter/director/cast would have to win the favor of some interdimensional god to capture that lightning in a bottle with a new cast.

Now, agenda? I don't think so. This is about money and a safe bet.

This is getting dangerously close to needing to move to the politics section of the board, but there is nothing insidious about making a comedy movie starring women and treating it as normal.

I just got a cool inspiration... what if in the new movie there's a scene where they were trying to approve the new ghostbusters in a senate and just as they are about to, the ghosts of dead presidents appear and object?
