Eh, I guess. Afterlife was decent when it wasn't just The Ghostbusters Awakens. Hopefully they go for something more original this time. I didn't spot the Statue of Liberty being used as a transportation device so it's at least not a reboot of the 2nd movie.

This is the perfect summation 

It's not Dan, Ernie, and Bill running around, pretending they're 40 years younger,  which is good, and like its predecessor, it's still got connections to the 80s movies so it's got familiarity, but it's still different enough to feel like a sequel, so.....I'm just glad that JJ Abrams has nothing to do with it.

They need to get the predecessor off of Starz streaming or whatever and get it on a major service though.

This could go anywhere, but I learned today that Archie Bunker was 44 when they shot the pilot for All in the Family. So like 10 years younger than Rudd is now. Archie Bunker. 44.

Go watch reruns of Johnny Carson or Match Game. Those fuckers we drinking and smoking more than Keith Richards.

I have. It's why I don't care to watch even the lame sequel that they just mailed it in for money. Ghostbusters was written for Aykroyd and Belushi for god's sake. What even are we doing anymore?

Well just like the original, aykroyd is in this but belushi is not because he is dead. 
 

anyway, my response was actually

Notes on the new movie, from the director: Because the Spengler family story drove the narrative in Afterlife, bringing Gozer back to centre-stage was a natural way to close the book on the past. But we are now in the post-Gozerian era of the Ghostbusters saga, so that means we’re able to stretch out and create an entirely new mythology.

Yep, we close the book on the past, but still bring back Aykroyd, Murray, and Hudson

"Rocky 5000" was a punchline to a Spaceballs joke, because they had made 4 Rockys by that point, which was a shocking number of sequels.   Now it is shocking if there isn't five of something that worked once.

Remember when they kept making really shitty F13 and Elm Street sequels and nobody knew anyone who saw anything past Part 3? Now that shit is considered summer blockbuster fare.

Yeah, that ain't a joke picture. Coming 2025. $7.5 billion franchise and counting.

 

Such a lazy species.

Saw Annie Potts doing an interview with a Houston station and she was talking about how she gets a jumpsuit in this one and gets to fight the ghosts with the guys. That made the low fuel light come on as far as my interest in seeing this goes. Probably wait until it’s streaming.

Saw it. Weak. Time to end this franchise unless they come up with a better story. Through the whole movie you feel like you’ve been there before. Just my take. I will say that of all the original characters Ernie has actually aged well.
