The popularity of ghostbusters was mostly because it had at least three of the best sketch comedians/writers of the last generation. I don’t care whether the the remake starred men or women, it was never going to come close to living up to expectations.
The new one looks like junk, too. Get the Stranger Things kid, make a Stranger Things Ghostbusters, and strip out all the humor. Keep it.
The Second City and SNL of the 80s had some of the best comedians of all time.
Exactly. Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd and the third guy, can remember his name. Plus wasn’t Harold Ramis involved too?
I loved “the private sector expects results.” LOL!
“The popularity of ghostbusters was mostly because it had at least three of the best sketch comedians/writers of the last generation.”
indeed ... a brilliantly written, acted and produced comedic feature made by tremendously talented comedic writers and actors ... plus it had only a single purpose: to entertain and make people laugh, unlike the politically correct pile of shite reboot ...

and i might add, switching genders and colors of the principal characters is nothing but a cheap gimmick anyway, and almost guarantees that there’s nothing else of substance in the production except for the cheap gimmick ...
and besides, how many millions have exclaimed, “Oh, boy! I can’t wait to see this new movie because they changed the genders and colors of the characters!”
