No joke, if Ghostbusters really wanted to mine people's nostalgia, go all out and have all of the effects be practical. Puppets, models, sets, stop motion, all of the stuff from the original. I'd actually be kind of interested with that particular gimmick.

I know CGI even bad CGI takes a ton of work but using it instead of practical effects just comes off as laziness on top of the laziness of all the "remember this poo poo".

he’s played by Noah Schnapp, funny enough, and he spends the whole movie quipping about how much nicer Tel Aviv is and how many progressive gay dudes live there

then at the end of the film he tells Paul Rudd that he’s going to use all of the ghost fighting techniques he learned to fight “the ghosts of hamas”, before turning to face the audience as the screen fades to credits

I'm baffled about why they are pretending this has any basis in historical fact.

Because Guy Ritchie is ripping some of it off like an article he read or something and now they have to attribute it or get sued?

Wasn't there like an old wooden sailing ship that the British put a modern gun on, and it posed as a merchant vessel and lured out German U-Boats during the war? Is that what this is based on? I'd assume that "on boat" is the only part that will be kept in for the real account.

yeah, rip.
speaking of ww2, masters of the air is now airing. first two episodes now available for viewing, and so far im keeping my expectations in a holding pattern. it at least shows more promise than the pacific, but no indications of reaching the heights of band of brothers, which to be fair is not easy. fairly flat characterization, distinctly modern sounding dialog, and an already observable structural pattern of drink at bar > fly planes > repeat, but could just be a bumpy takeoff, so im not bailing out yet

SAS was a separate unit but they did work alongside LRDG a lot.

I started watching Rogue Heroes this week since I liked the 2016 book it's based on and it's rather a bit of whiplash going between Masters of the Air and Peaky Blinders: Africa Edition.

This movie is gonna bomb so who cares. All nostalgia for this IP is gone, it's been forty years. The OG stars look like the ghouls they are busting. Everyone is over this poo poo. The only way to pull this off would be to have someone as insane about making perfect movies like Tom Cruise did with Top Gun Maverick.
