 **Ghostbusters Afterlife ERASES Ghostbusters 2016 | A HUGE WIN for Fans and Pop Culture! (NO SPOILERS)\\

-I think I agree 99.9% of what [[entertainment:personalities:doomcock|Doomcock]] says in his spoiler free review. I found the lead child actress was an amazing tribute to Harold Ramis aka Dr. Egon Spengler. It was a movie that made me fool good. I liked that the story took it's time to develop. I'm tired of breakneck speed movies. I mean they are alright, but I like slower paced movies as well.

 **Ghostbusters Afterlife | Movie Review\\

-Another one of my favorite media critics, [[entertainment:personalities:gary-beuchler|Gary Beuchler aka Nerdrotic]], also says GBA is a good, fun movie that respects its heritage and doles out the warm fuzzies.
+Another one of my favorite media critics, [[articles:shows:personalities:gary-beuchler|Gary Beuchler aka Nerdrotic]], also says GBA is a good, fun movie that respects its heritage and doles out the warm fuzzies. I'd say Gary's review is a bit less positive than my own or even Doomcock's, but still a movie well worth the price of admission and we need to support media that is constructive and builds upon legacies rather than deconstructing and subverting culture.
+Gary's main issue is the story's pacing and I guess he probably has a point with respect to mainstream audiences and children. With the lead going to a child actor, I think a bit more action in middle of the movie would have appealed to that sort of audience. For myself though, I think I liked the pacing and this movie would have been better had the ghosts inspired a bit more dread. A darn good movie though, made better for having respect for Ghostbuster fans.
+I really like Gary's take on franchises -- "there is only 1 Bladerunner film, only 2 Alien films, there's only 2 Predator films, there's only 2 Terminator films, there's only 3 Indiana Jones films, and there's only 3 Star Wars films, some might argue 6, and only 3 Ghostbuster movies."
+My list is a bit different:
+  * 2 Bladerunner
+  * 4 Alien films
+  * 1 Predator film
+  * 2 Terminator films
+  * 3 Indiana Jones film
+  * 5 Star Wars films (Excepting the Darth Maul v Qui-Gon & Obi Wan, The Phantom Menace and any scene with Jar Jar Binks is not Star Wars)
+  * 2 Ghostbusters
+BTW, I liked Ghostbusters I but I wouldn't consider myself a fan of the franchise. I don't think I've even watched Ghostbusters II.
