fucking the ghostbusters legacy

So let me have a quick introductory to me liking the Ghostbusters movie. I'm not head over heels about it. I genuinely enjoyed it but I like a lot of other Akroyd Murray Ramis (who for some reason on imdb is known more for ghostbusters2 than 1) and even Ernie Hudson movies more. I just am of the opinion that whats done is done and rehashing it even with the same actors or musicians is generally a mistake and to let time determine the value. So no, I am not begging for a 3rd movie with the original cast, I've seen what Akroyd did with the Blues Brothers and even John Goodman couldn't save it and as far as I'm concerned he is family to me and I'll support him no matter what crime he commits.

So there is to be a remake apparently. Which is whatever. I saw The Thing remake reluctantly and begrudgingly didn't hate it. So I've done some half assed fanboying because honestly thats what I am when it comes to this franchise. While we are on it I'm ok with discontinuing all franchises but thats not here nor there. So I read that Akroyd sent a script to Murray and he shredded it. Thus building the Bill Murray is the greatest man alive wave which is irresistible to be a part of despite every contrarian bone that covers my cynical heart's resistance.

So it looks like they're really motivated to do it. With a bright young cast of attractive women. Like Alyssa Milano.

stop
the
fucking
presses

Alyssa Milano? is this a FHM top 100 hotties list from 2002(53rd)?
Is this a who have two fat Red Sox pitchers fucked list? She is 40 years old. She is older than Shaq. She is older than Martin Luther King when he was shot. She is older than Jaromir Jagr. She is older than Cat Power?!?!? For her to be cast in this movie with any sort of sincerity two questions have to be asked to Dan Akroyd.

1. Why?
2. How was the bj she obviously gave to even consider her?

Far be it for me to say Alyssa Milano was never attractive, quite the opposite actually. She was a beacon that all women should aim to hit someday. She was the Italian Eva Longoria. She really was one of the best looking humans ever to exist. To say she has hit a wall though, is putting it nicely. Lets do a picture contrast timeline from then and now. And as an aside, let this be a lesson to all women. You will hit a disgusting wall and you should feel awful about it.

Weren't Italian women supposed to age well? She looks like fucking Sally Fields. And its not like her looks can afford to take a hit in place of her acting skills. She's lucky to be famous.


Allow me to sum up her career.

Who's the Boss (1984)- daughter
Commando (1985) - daughter
Double Dragon (1994) - not billy not jimmy
Embrace the Vampire (1995)- girl we know from the nude scene mpgs with the water stamp longer than the actual video that you downloaded off kazaa and not actually seen the movie
TVshows - good looking girl in various story arcs
Made for TV movies - 20 year old lady
That one Blink 182 video - lady
Charmed - the girl that was better looking than Rose Mcgowan but you still didn't want to fuck as much
Made for TV movies - 30 year old lady
Ghostbusters 3 - staple

Alyssa Milano has been in a holding pattern over The Irrelevance Ocean waiting for a clear run way on Obscure Airport next to Neve Campbell, Felicity, Rebecca Gayheart, and Shannon Elizabeth.

Does anyone else see a problem with that? Now whatever maybe she's cast as a background character or whatever. But its December 2011 and she is the first name on the IMDB page and I am prepared to overreact at any moments notice and ramble about nothing unabridged and uninformed.

Moreover this is a plea to just let the franchise die. The fact people want more is a good thing. I don't see anyone crowing for another Austin Powers movie. Once you revisit over and over it becomes tacky and meaningless. Kind of like me hammering good looking women over and over. Except they make money.

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Martha Marcy May Marlene had with out question the best ending I have seen a movie have in the last couple years. Psychological thriller with 0 lulls, a heavy amount of side tit and a thoroughly collapsing ambiguous ending. There is something so attractive about a delusional girl with an ugly past that keeps crushing her life from the inside.

Easily the most disappointing imdb movie board though, people calling the movie self serving and boring. The movie never plateaus, every 5 minutes there is a clue to her past in a flashback or dialogue or she changes personalities. Really thrilling shit.

confessions of a reasonably safe mind

I have a confession. some of the best movies of the year are being released currently and this is when Oscar films are being pushed and i live with in reasonable driving distance of at least 20 theaters that show legit non-major release films that people would line up to see. movies that will be talked about for "best" of the year. and i went out by myself and saw "We Bought a Zoo".

I'm 28.

Anyway Matt is just great in about anything he is slowly becoming my answer for "who should play" over now too old Gary Oldman. Also its not really advantageous of me to tell you that Matt Damon is a good actor its a communal opinion that he is great or at least very very good and people who think otherwise are just fools.

ONWARD!!!!!!!!

I went into the movie wanting to have a good time. and then in the opening credits to my dismay and honest surprise Scarlett Johansson is in the movie. And it no longer became a movie I was trying to enjoy. The movie became my adversary and I officially wasted my 12$ on the ticket, I walked into the movie wanting to be happy and wanted to not think about much. Not like I'm stressed or I am miserable(jk) but since I don't have nostalgia for terrible 80s movies save 10 or so my rainy days are spent watching new movies. In this case one I wanted to like everyone in it. And I was refused entry to the party.

FUCK.

Septic and apoplectic I drudged on with my mind already made up. So we start the movie....and Matt Damon's wife dies. Fuck... already? He buys a house, surprise the house comes with a catch, you'll never guess what. Here is why I can never be taken seriously. At no point did I get into the movie, no fault to the movie, it actually was very pleasant looking, the sun was yellow the landscapes though limited were quite nice and generally I liked everything I took in visually. Until of course her.

this is pretty much what she did to the movie.

Doughy and boring Scarlett eats up the scenes she is in by not fitting in. She is unconnected to who she is in the movie. Its like the Mars Attacks alien dressed as a woman waving around looking at things and NOT STICKING OUT AT ALL. I don't mean to be a dick but Damon has a daughter in this movie who will go on to be better actress than Scarlett. That's not an insult, I'm just convinced whoever the girl is in this movie will win an award(s) in my lifetime.

Thomas Hayden Church and Dakota Fanning's sister are both in this movie as well. There is a sea of talent in this movie surrounding the desert island that is Johansson. They're so good and it really made up for the completely miscast Johansson; that's not just me calling her miscast because I dislike her. She really isn't the character she was supposed to be. She was cast as a girl who's looks aren't the focal part of her character. And that's shallow and all I know but its just what it is. She plays the Zoo worker who is just there. She's the learning curve for Matt and the stability and transition and whatever. She played the cohesion of the movie. And her inadequacy is such a sore thumb that its a discredit to everything I took in.

Now I know people insist she can act, not many, but until it shows up why not have her skip the roles written ideally for talented actresses who don't have to show side tit to not be acceptable for the fucking role? No one forced Yasmine Bleath into roles where she isn't praised and just looked at. If Scarlett is just the girl at the zoo than the zoo is on fucking Mars. We bought a zoo, with Natasha Henstridge. Basically the movie dropped a tuna in the middle of the screen and everyone had to walk around it and pretend it was just part of the carpet.

your average zoo keeper.

Cameron Crowe does nothing for me honestly. I never made it all the way through Almost Famous, no fault to the movie I just was never pulled in enough while its been on cable to finish it. I hated Jerry McGuire and Vanilla Sky and I honestly thought Tom Cruise was great in both of those movies. He should just be a music director for a film because he picks good soundtracks, but even then you can just google "safe classic rock songs" and you can fill it in just as well as he does. This will probably be written down as my favorite Cameron Crowe movie. But with no real second place its kind of like my favorite Duncan Jones movies. First place would be Moon, and I haven't seen Source Code, so.......

this wasn't a really funny review. but whatever.

also a girl I know has a facebook status of this....
"College is not for me. I need to travel the world and help the less fortunate. That's a better learning experience than spending thousands to learn stuff you can read about online."

Slider underrated character. I think he had the real malice for Goose and Maverick.Above average volleyball player. Iceman cost them the game really and Top Gun

remember that stupid long winded seasonal breakdown of a cable show?
homeland is going through that exact same arch right now. to the tee actually

dark knight 2 trailer leaked and here are a couple spoilers:


- its 90 minutes of actual story spread out over 3 hours
- the antagonists in the movie will be antiquated silly gimmicks
- the series will not be wrapped up
- it will take itself WAY too seriously
- Bane will look like Christina Hendricks tits wearing scuba equipment


I'm so unenthused with this franchise. I thoroughly liked the first one and I still don't get why they're going to make a 3rd of the same thing.
