Sorry but nothing can equal the fairy young Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray - among others - and the original script. When will TPTB in Hollywood figure out that what audiences want, perhaps more than anything, is originality?

Especially since Harold Ramis, who was a brilliant comedic writer, is no longer with us.

Anime is better than regular programming.

Hate to break this to ya’...but there is a sizable segment of the population who want and need sequels. You can here them talk about the significance of characters in movies as if they are speaking about real events and people. Also note the huge followings for mini series tv shows. You are correct that originality trumps sequels but movies are about MONEY...ideas are tertiary in the movie universe. Box office...good filming experience(i.e...salary..locale...food...drugs...sex)....then ideas. All meant to placate viewers need to escape the perceived banality of their existence.Cuz shakers and movers dont talk about movies much.
