razor-sharp horror comedy how? i watched them both last year and they were a borefest maybe in 1980-something they were better but i don’t know—much rather watch caddyshack ps- ive never seen bridesmaids. don’t plan to either. |
i should add that there are many “great” cultural products of the 80s that i have never enjoyed: michael jackson, madonna, ronald reagan, lady diana, back to the future, the breakfast club, top gun, e.t., rambo, gremlins, bon jovi, journey, hall & oates, etc

I do agree that the 2nd is underappreciated, but I can wholly see why the first one is still held in much higher regard. |

:eek: Wow man. Did you, like, not grow up in the ‘80s or something? The Ghostbusters movies are dumb and kinda bad, but also hilarious and awesome. Not unlike Back to the Future. If all you can remember is the music, maybe re-watch one of those days. At least the first one. |

I think I have more fun watching the second, but the first is definitely THE Ghostbusters movie. Second has a lot to love. “Where exactly are you from?” “Ze upper-Vest Side.” Bahahah! |
i didnt see ghostbusters when it came out
but i saw star wars as a kid and now hate it too—i don’t always like now what i liked as a kid—like shitty candy but scooby-doo, stupidest cartoon ever, i’ve always hated |
Nebraska

i'm glad you broke my hating streak. that movie was really great. i wanna rewatch it now. |
Desperately Seeking Susan
Still has a certain period charm but Madonna is insufferable. I get that she's playing an unlikeable character but a little charisma would've gone a long way. Rosanna Arquette is, of course, eternally lovely. |

whereas with the new version, i expected shit already , AND indeed found shit, but laughed a couple of times (thanks, chicken lady). but anyway i’ll stop with that because they’re all a waste of time ha ha. |
I can't think of a single thing from my childhood that I returned to and thought, "That's so much BETTER than I remembered!"
Like, nothing. |
I mostly finally get jokes and details better as an adult than when I was a kid. For example, a drunk politician character from "An American Tail"

Yeah. Man, Batman ‘89 and Batman Returns like, MADE my childhood. When I went back and watched them in my twenties, I was thoroughly disappointed that the storylines form both films was paper thin, and that it was all style (good style, for the era) and literally no substance. Still great to look at though. Actually, not so much in that case.. both moved look like snow-covered shit compared to Nolan’s gorgeous reboots, but whatever. That Hitlery Penguin was super fucked up. “I’m gonna steal all of your children and kill them!” Cool plot bro. |

poltergeist? |
Not Poltergeist the movie with actual ghost rape that you're thinking of is The Entity from 1983.

There’s basically a ghost rape in Ghostbusters. “I am Zule, fuck me” or something like that. Not a full rape maybe, but suggestive enough. Also, Evil Dead = THE ghost rape. All rape is terrible of course, but... just sayin’ |

i don’t think severian has seen it |
The Wolf of Wall Street. Currently watching, so not through it all the way yet.

Nope, I know the scene, Dan Akroyd thought it would be funny for us to basically see Ray get a blowjob from a ghost, and since its one of the few scenes where we don't actually see a ghost onscreen, who's to say that ghost was female, huh Dan? Its a pretty dumb scene, is there a scene in the new one where a ghost is pleasuring one of them? I imagine not. lol |
