One More Reboot Note...

Okay, so...

First let me apologize for polluting this hallowed space with Terminator stuff. I hadn't realized that Genisys would be, to quote Bender, an atrocimacy. Oh well.

But have you seen this?


Now, I'll be the first to usually decry the lack of originality in major film-making these days, but the Wachowski's Sens8 on Netflix is trying to do something about that (it's certainly original, but plodding...). Reboots, sequels, comic books...(sigh) All this while Richard Flanagan contemplated finding work in the Australian coal mines because his writing career seemed destitute...(super sigh).

Anyway, with the new all-lady Ghostbusters, I'm trying to be more easygoing. The main reason is because I'm all in with Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. I don't know what that says about me. Melissa McCarthy is the new-era lady-John Candy, and while there are a few shitty movies she's in, I appreciate she still gets leading roles.

And, it turns out, Dan Aykroyd loves the new cast as well. Maybe he must, seeing as how he's likely attached in some way to the property.

Anyway, the picture of the new Ecto 1 appeared online and inspired me to post this, but partly to take away the bad taste of the former lead post.
