Since this is my blog and I can say whatever I want I figured I'd weigh in on the Ghostbusters controversy. It's no surprise that in this day and age there would be a Ghostbusters reboot/update sequel whatever you want to call it. The big controversy for people came when it was announced that the cast would be all females and include none of the original actors. I think where it falls flat for people is that for years we were strung along by the fact that there were rumblings of a true Ghostbusters sequel featuring the original gang in the making. These dreams were dashed with the news that Bill Murray was in and then out multiple times and then of course the sad passing of Harold Ramis. Ok, ok, so you guys already know all of this because you're all so smart. So what's my opinion? I will tell you and I'm being completely honest here. I am in no way interested in seeing this movie. It has nothing to do with the fact that it's a female cast. My problem is that it seems more like a quick cash grab. Obviously I can't say for sure since the movie has not come out but sticking the hottest comedic actors at the moment in the roles which seem to be exact personality replicas of the originals just seems cheap. Will the plot further the actual universe or just be full of formulaic played out jokes? So far based on the trailers it seems like the latter of the two. I also feel like Melissa McCarthy is waaaay overrated. Sure she's been in some good movies but she seems to just be typecast in the same role over and over. I'm sure the movie will make tons of money and have 3 more sequels because people don't care about originality or quality anymore and that goes for a lot of movies not just Ghostbusters. Until moviegoers take a stand Hollywood will keep churning out bullshit for years to come. Maybe I'm forever stuck in a nostalgia haze and that makes me hate concepts like these but I'm ok with that. Just because I don't want to see it doesn't mean that others can't enjoy it and it also doesn't make me sexist either. People seem to forget that opinions are like assholes and assholes will always tell you you're wrong. Bottom line, sure some people might be boycotting the movie because they're women but not everyone is and we shouldn't be crucified and lumped into that category. Feel free to tell me why my opinion is wrong in the comments below!
Let's move on to the daily boring shit. Currently my tv volume is up to 20 which is actually pretty loud. The reason? My fucking next door neighbors who hold some kind of snake worshiping church in their barn are playing the loudest music ever. The snake part is pure speculation but I feel like I'm right because I seriously can't understand how they can play the same song for 3 hours and scream in another language. What the hell kind of church is this? The worst part is that it goes on almost every night sometimes until midnight. These people are crazy. Other than that I'm just relaxing. Gross medical alert for the next few sentences, look away if you don't want to know. I've been in severe pain today because of an abscess I have pretty much under my ass. If you don't know what an abscess is then google it because I'm not going to tell you here. Anyway, I had to sit in an almost boiling bath tub just for some relief. I'll be having a small surgery sometime in the next month hopefully to get this under control. This is just a small example of shit I deal with on a daily basis. I'm ready to relax for the night so feel free to leave me some comments and I'll talk to you guys tomorrow! Currently watching: Awkward. P.S How cute is this Ghostbusters plus I bought yesterday? It plays the theme song too when you squeeze his belly. SO CUTE.
