My version would be Brett Dalton, Terry Crews, Idris Elba and either Tracey Jordan or Gary Busey as the weird guy, I'm not 100% committed to either yet.



Lamorne Morris would be my dream Winston. Winston as Winston.

This would actually probably be a worse movie. Not that I don't love these actors, but this is a seriously bad cast for anything but a stoner movie.

You know who would really suck as a Ghostbuster? The original Ghostbusters. I was so happy when they finally buried that idea (sorry Egon).

We'll probably still get a terrible Dan Aykroyd cameo though.

Let's compromise: a Ghostbusters where the entire cast is just the guy who starred in Paul Blart in every role. Everything is a "he's so fat" joke, and it's dramatically revealed that the Stay Puft ghost died of diabetes.

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

This is the stupidest damned waste of time that the techies have yet invented. And criminals are already making use of it to lure semi-conscious nitwits to locales where they can be easily mugged and robbed. Anyone playing this game most certainly needs to have the word "victim" tattooed on his or her forehead. || In St. Louis, the police are already having to chase the idiots diddling with Pokemon Go out of cemeteries at night. Any gamesters caught in the national cemeteries are subject to federal prosecution and to confinement in facilities operated by the United States Bureau of Prisons.

Pokemon Go is all about data-mining. It functions exactly like commercialistic spyware and tracking-cookies. Anyone playing the game is ceasing to have a private life; but it can be argued that a few techies designed the game specifically for the amusement of idlers who don't have lives at all. Idlers without lives, as P. T, Barnum understood perfectly, are the best customers for any vendible nonsense that retailers are happy to sell.

Was Ghostbusters a stoner movie? Was I too little the last time I saw it to remember? I dunno, I thought I knew from stoner movies.

I'm not somebody who's angry at the new Ghostbusters or anything, I just don't understand how that group is somehow better. I mean, other than being men, which I assume is what that post is about.

Technically, if you drink nothing but pure distilled water, you can end up dying of dehydration, since the water will flush the various minerals that retain water out of your body.

Good thing no one ever actually does that, since the impurities in our water actually make it healthy(well, some of them anyway)

quote:

On January 12, 2007, a listener named Jennifer Strange, 28, died of water intoxication hours after taking part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest in which KDND promised a Wii video game system for the winner. At the time, the Nintendo console was a very popular and sought-after item, but was nearly impossible to find in stores in North America.[5][6] In the competition, contestants were asked to drink as much water as they could without urinating. The contestant able to hold the most water would be named the winner.

According to contest participants, 17 to 20 contestants took part in the competition in a room at KDND's studios. The contest was broadcast during the station's Morning Rave program and began around 6:45 a.m. as contestants were each handed 240ml (8 oz) water bottles to drink at 15-minute intervals. Contestants also said that as the contest progressed, they were given increasingly larger quantities of water to drink. Some later remarked on the physical discomfort they suffered during and following the event.

The Sacramento Bee released audio clips from the morning show indicating that the disc jockeys were aware of the death of Matthew Carrington by water intoxication.[7] At one point, a caller contacted the station and informed the DJs that the contest could be dangerous and potentially fatal.[8] The DJs responded by saying, "We're aware of that," and joked that the contestants had signed releases and couldn't file a lawsuit. However, according to a contestant, the waivers addressed only publicity issues and made no mention of health or safety concerns. The DJs also joked about Strange's distended belly, joking that she looked three months pregnant.[9]

After the contest, Strange spoke to a co-worker by telephone, indicating she was on her way home and in extreme pain, suffering from what appeared to be an intense headache. The co-worker contacted Strange's mother, who went to her home an hour later to find her daughter dead

The show ended up being sued into oblivion.

Yeah water intoxication is a thing. Your brain cells absorb too much water, swell and either cut off blood supply or your brain stem gets squashed against your skull.

There was a child abuse investigation a few years back where some nut job parents made their kid drink so much she died of it. IIRC she had been complaining she was thirsty and that made them mad.
