’d have loved nothing more than to give Ghostbusters a glowing review. Seriously! Can you imagine a better troll? Extolling the virtues of a film that my loyal readership has been warring with social justice warriors over for months? But I can’t. You see, I strive to be honest with my audience. I went into Ghostbusters with a clear and impartial mindset, like some tall, slim, and devastatingly handsome statue of justice. (But no blindfold. It would be a crime to cover up these eyes.)

He wasn’t in it, but then he took a hiatus from acting to raise his children when his wife died. He said that a bit part in the remake just didn’t interest him.
Absolutely! In fact, the two Ghostbuster movies were/will be classics for generations. I liked Sigourney, also. The entire cast was perfect for the roles. But then, I’ve been a Dan fan since Saturday Night Live days. Trading Places was one of his best works.
“Compare the female Ghostbusters with my favorite female character of all time, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy’s feminine qualities are part of her strength. She saves the world using her female vulnerability, not in spite of it. In fact, her femininity is the only thing that makes her capable of heroic feats.
The petty, two-dimensional feminist posturing of Ghostbusters is demeaning to all four of its leads, particularly when you consider how complex and interesting the film could have been with someone like Joss Whedon at the helm.”
You mean most of the budget went to Kraft services?
Yup, those gals look like they can eat considerable amounts of free food :-)
Oh ok - I was just wondering since you said you liked her since Designing Women - which came out a couple years after Ghostbusters.
Annie’s part in Ghostbusters I was almost so short as to be a bit. In the TV series we got to see her full range of skills.
