I agree that prioritizing your kids is a huge character move, but his kids are now in their 30s so that reasoning makes less sense.

I mean it’s his life and he can absolutely do whatever he wants, but I think the “I’m prioritizing my kids” ship has sailed.

He also realized he had made his money and really, really didn't miss acting and the long days on-set. So after his kids were grown, he really didn't feel the need to go back to work outside of the occasional Bob & Doug McKenzie bit for Rush tours and some voiceover work he could knock out in a day or two here and there.

Janine's gonna bust some ghosts.

I'm not going to read too much into it and I'm cautiously hyped, but I'd be fine without the toyetic mini-stay pufts/baby groots/baby yodas/minions whatever FunkoPop nonsense you want to call them.

I have never been amused by the presence of a silly little guy, outside of Gremlins 1 & 2.

I am loving hyped for Janine as Egon's replacement. I never thought of that, but it's perfect.

They're also going to do it really, really badly.

Apparently, Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman were talking further sequels after this one, in that Empire article.

If they're going the way of RGB, then I get that.

Gosh, my 4 year old daughter has enjoyed seeing me play Luigi's Mansion, and then she started watching the Real Ghostbusters cartoon.

And now I've got her a little vacuum cleaner backpack, some walkie talkies, and other equipment for us to go around the house hunting ghosts, and as a result now I've looked at Spirit Halloween, HalloweenCostumes.com, and amazon, and now I've got an PKE meter, ghost trap, jumpsuit with Ghostbusters 2 patches to include a customized nametag, and a $250 fullsize proton pack on the way for myself

I've suddenly jumped whole hog into becoming a ghostbuster

The great thing about dressing as a Ghostbuster is that you can do it for $20, or you can do it for $5,000, and every level in between. Every body type looks great in the uniform with the gear, and it always delights other people.

I picked up a Houston White jumpsuit from Target on clearance the other day for $25, and it’s so comfy. It’s a fake suede, but it’s really nice. I know it’s not accurate, but it’s a really nice alternative look.

Not a single person saw a giant marshmallow man, evil slime, 10000 ghosts, titanic, alien dinosaur ghost, walking Statue of Liberty or a building covered in slime

I think the read is that no eye witnesses saw that The Ghostbusters fixed the issue(s). Still a big stretch though.

I mean, Peck was literally there at Spook Central. He knows.

Anyway, that all looks great, and I’m here for it. Not sure James Acaster’s character lasts long though. :ohdear:

True, a UK version with more emphasis on Acaster.

I’m currently working my way through his Off Menu podcast, so it’s going to make FE all the more silly to watch.

Oh man, here's the fullsize proton pack that I just got delivered today. This thing looks pretty sweet!



So far I've impressed my co-workers and my small child with how cool this thing is. I should get a picture of me in my full getup that I've got together now.

Now my daughter wants her own proton pack to match too. I've ordered her the small blue children's toy one.

They could have hired the same guy who played the mayor in Gb2016 and had him do another 30 minutes of unfunny jokes about Jaws.
