It's by Taika Waititi, who also did What We Do in the Shadows.

Ooh! I'll have to put it on my list!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, I forgot to say that. It's the reason we went in the first place.

Ghostbusters is hella fun & Kate MacKinnon is fabulous. Two thumbs up!

Stay all the way through the credits! There are multiple scenes, plus just awesome silliness during the credits themselves.

We rewatched the original Ghostbusters tonight with a friend who'd never seen it and it's really not that good.

It's kinda sexist/creepy, as I recall.

The new one doesn't make a lot more sense than the original, but it's fun and doesn't piss me off, and some of the set pieces are truly great.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It's probably been at least 15 years since I last watched it, but I doubt a week goes by without someone I know (or myself) quoting the original Ghostbusters. Of course, I work in IT, so the geek-quotient is high.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I saw it yesterday. It was enjoyable, but not great, and I really think they fell down on providing an interesting villain.

I've heard lots of people praising Kate McKinnon, but although I love her on SNL I thought she was just playing a bundle of tics rather than a character in this movie. I will give them points for Kristen Wiig playing an original character that I didn't hate, though.
