Amazing Ghostbusters Facts
- Ghostbusters is not your mom. It is not responsible for your wellbeing, emotional or otherwise.
- Ghostbusters is not your girlfriend. Your girlfriend disappeared when they had to reboot Second Life that time.
- Ghostbusters is not your best friend for life. Those guys were kind of dicks, and getting blowjobs from demons doesn’t happen in real life (not even in weird parts of Louisiana.)
- Ghostbusters did not borrow money from you. It owes you nothing.
- Ghostbusters is not the buffet table at Ponderosa. It cannot nourish you or fix your feelings of emptiness.
- Ghostbusters is not a six pack of Zima. It is not responsible to deliver you the best nights of your lives.
- Ghostbusters is not your priest. It is not responsible for your spiritual guidance.
Ghostbusters (1984) is a dumb comedy that was made as a starring vehicle for some of the most bankable stars at the time, and its premise is largely a product of the fact that wacky comedies did well during the first Reagan administration because it was a trying time for America.
Bill Murray only did it to force the studio to finance Razor’s Edge.
It received some lukewarm reviews.
It was not the highest grossing movie of 1984. (That title belongs to Beverly Hills Cop.)
In the grand scheme of things, Ghostbusters is a movie that you probably would watch if it was on TBS on a rainy Sunday, because it delivers a solid story and some key laughs.
And that’s it.
Sorry if you’ve got nothing else going on in your life that you ascribe something more to a movie that even the people who worked on it were indifferent about, but could you please shut the fuck up about it, and let the people who want to enjoy its reboot enjoy their fucking movie?
You can probably look up anime body pillows online or something.
