  1. Sure. I would assume that this movie is being made to make money. With opening weekend being still very crucial to the movie industry. I ask who is the audience for this movie. The purist will not be rushing to see this, it is to radical of a departure with the all female leading cast. The all female lead cast, does open up the chick flick label, which it has already been placed in. Which is fine because women do generate movie revenue. However the subject matter, women chasing ghost with science equipment and gobbly gook techno babble. Even the Star Trek movies have dispensed with the gobbly gook techno babble to gain a larger audience. The purist hating the concept from the beginning, and trying to sell a supernatural comedy to an female audience is two strikes against the movie. A third may even be the African American lead being characterized as a non scientist or professor or learned it type. Over a year ago I heard the director saying he thought people were some pejorative for not liking his all female concept. I thought to myself he has the right to that opinion. But do you know what he doesn't have the right to. 50% of my weekly disposable income for a night at the movies. I took some me time to see a movie alone this week, the family of three in front of me paid $56 to see a movie. Non 3D or Imax. I thought if I was here on a date night going to an Imax showing I could easily drop $60 dollars for two people. The past two years have seen a lot of big budget movies trying to mass market movies to a large diverse audience. Failing to realize that their concept is not appealing to a large diverse audience. Any movie you can get made is a win for someone. But that will not guarantee success at the box office. Especially when you are being told from the beginning you are going down the wrong track. The Ghostbusters reboot may be a runaway hit, but I seriously doubt it. It just will not be worth me taking a chance of paying $30 an hour for some ones novel or re-imagined concept. To me and perhaps to a few others around the world. The Ghostbusters reboot falls into the. I see you were able to get your novel movie concept made, and spent $140 million to make it. Well good luck with that.
  2. When it comes to comedies the original Ghostbusters is an Godfather or at least in the same rarefied air. I must admit when I was dragged to see this movie I did not quite get it or like it. Rolled my eyes so hard at the Stay Puff Marshmallow man, I feared they were going to lock up. But over the years I have come to realize just how good and clever Ghostbusters is. Making an all female Ghostbusters team even 16 years into the 21st. century is still to unbelievable. How the film maker can be so blind to this is still beyond belief to me. Sure women have made great strides in science and the fantasy world of geekdom, but enough to pull off an all female Ghostbusters? I just do not see it and will not bother to see it in the theater anyway. And this coming from a guy who thinks that the Heat with Sandra and Melissa, with every joke fully telegraphed, was one of the funniest movies made in the last ten years. And if they make Heat 2, I will be there with full price fare, because that is just how MotherF***ing funny I found the heat to be.
  3. Let us face it. All these cellphone assistants are just the collective conscious of the Borg masquerading. So as to learn all of our secrets, to make assimilation of us all easier. Having said that, boy are they useful.
  4. The real scary thing about that commercial is. That someone else's Siri responded to Lily with knowledge, about her, that should have been private. So I guess I could ask my Siri personal questions about other Siri owners, and it would spill its guts like a regurgitating mothering penguin. No wonder the icloud was so easily hacked. Hey Siri has Jennifer Lawerence uploaded any pictures lately? Hey Siri!! What is Jennifer Lawrence new icloud password? Thanks Siri!! Your the best ever.
  5. Put 'em in cookies! Bent her like a fajita! Abraham talks sex?
  6. You see they are attempting empathy through the power of suggestion. Or if they are from a galaxy far far away. They are attempting to Jedi mind trick "the you".
  7. See my wish is the opening scene is of Miss Patty then Rory reading page six. Rory: You accidentally kiss one man who is married, well actually separated. Lorelai: Now there's a distinction without an difference. Rory: But one time I mean...... Lorelai: There was Dean, a youthful indiscretion, but Dean and you. Rory: But they write about me like I was Elizabeth Taylor or Angelina Jolie. Lorelai: Come on now sister, you are beautiful and all that. But I think they clearly compared you to a nanny for a Hollywood "it" couple. Rory: Yeah, not even a movie star hussy. Lorelai: Hah. Even with a Yale masters degree, my Rory just a plain old hussy....... Of course we have to have Finn and Colin checking out Lorelai's butt in jeans. And repeating my favorite.
  8. I am pretty sure this a some kind of marketing strategy. That will start a vote for the New Colonel Sanders right around the presidential election season. But then again KFC was the company that put a free online coupon for a snack, but forgot to use cookies to limit only one printing of the coupon. I think I printed ten for my mom. They had to quickly stop honoring those coupons.
  9. Well if they replace him with the Old Spice guy. The black one with all the muscles, who might be turning me into bi curious, they could be on to something.
  10. High Fidelity, Rory Gilmore style?
  11. I really liked this movie. Because it took the story where it should have gone. For once Skynet sent someone back through time there was only 3 possibilities. Judgement day would either move forward on the time line or move backward on the timeline.With the third possibility being Judgement day transform into understanding day. Where Skynet realize that it can never win or lose its fight with the humans so it agrees to let humans be humans and it creates its own world next to the humans. Also it brought about what I thought was a nice surprise turn in the story. That being the timeline nexus did not flow through Sarah or John, but Kyle.
  12. With Negan coming on the scene it should be titled. "It's like deja'vu all over again."
  13. When Rick comes courting, He dons the gay murder coat, Let Mayhem ensue. Knock knock paddy whack. Oh lord a sword at my neck! To late for who's there? A knife says hello. A technicolor dream coat. A bloody what what!
  14. I am pretty sure Morgan knows how to make cheese. Then there is cream and butter from the milk. If they ever get that pasta maker. You will need the cream and butter to make a decent pasta alfredo.
  15. Fear the Walking Dead is shot the way the executives wanted Frank to shoot the Walking Dead. All hat and no cattle. Now let's all hail the Darabont!
  16. I am one of those people who really enjoyed the LADB. People who had fun using real science and math. I never blamed Logan for wanting to extend his college days and have fun. For when people like those at Yale with their level of smarts and education go serious. It becomes a life style for the rest of their lives.
  17. Ah! The dangers of hi def television. I am getting a kick out of all the close ups of actors faces in commercials now. Even with make up you can see all the pimples red spots and other imperfections which really are perfections in their own way. Back to the commercial where I believe the tag line is. "Put a big bug in a child's hand and change their world." I always think and watch them crush it like the bug it is.
  18. But, but, but. It's a fight with the promise of blood, gun fire and bat shit crazy Rick kills!
  19. When does the world not need Jack Bauer.
  20. There are lots of movies, tv shows, and plays I would not see for love nor money. But regular sex, now there's a motivating and or mitigating factor.
  21. Her Avery on 30 Rock was outstanding. That woman can deliver a line. [on Soledad O'Brien] I wipe the floor with that bitch! Avery: [on Soledad O'Brien], As much as I love Soledad O'Brien, I loved that line even better, considering it surrounded having kids and a career. I could never figure out who Old Navy's target audience was. Now I think it targets the 18-45 demographics. So Elizabeth Banks would fill that need well. I am not a fan of most of the stuff she has been in, Like the Hunger Games, Scrubs, and Pitch Perfect. But I have enjoyed her performances. I did not really get Pitch Perfect, but her commentating on the competition was great.
  22. This is why the Liberty Mutual commercials exists. Most people can't remember how auto insurance worked before it was mandated. Your premiums were actually based on your driving record, credit score and job situations and companies competed to get the best drivers, because insurance use to be something you bought to protect your property and family if you wanted to and could and afford it. Now that they have a built in mandatory base, they have become greedy and some what predatory. Where every thing beyond the mandated coverage, reading like an almost endless appetizer menu, which really adds up differently, depending on your driving record and credit score and job. There is actually a law firm commercial in our area telling people if you really want to lower your premiums just change insurance companies every year. She is not debasing herself, she is making money by being funny. She seems like one of those women who realize that not only can she appear beautiful, that she is also funny and can also be sexy as hell. She knows that she appeals to a lot of different types of people. She is what Amy Schumer wants to be. For a comedic actress she has a very impressive body of work and an impressive body too, which always helps to put money in the bank. Her one home mortgage commercial where she turns to guy and ask can they live together in the new house, with that tone of voice, makes me just say WoW! Every time I see it.
  23. But, it's a Brave New World and she has African ovaries.
  24. Ivory's embrace. Hello darkness my old friend. Ebony welcomes. Jesus what went down? I performed cunnilingus. I am still smiling! So he went down first. You were right, it was better. Much love for the tongue.
  25. Some thoughts: The writers can do comedy The white bird feather is to Forrest Gump as the black sheriffs hat is to Carl. Which means life is like a cow pasture....You are always stepping in shit. Let's face it, by now everyone in camp dinner bell is an adrenaline junkie. Two months without any real action, chasing Jesus around the country side was just the diversion those two needed. Having said that, if Rick and Michonne were in a sexual relationship at the time. Rick would have been, 'got her favorite toothpaste, time to head home for some Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuit sex.'
