@FuriousMachine I loved Melissa McCarthy in Gilmore Girls which is peak nostalgia for me as I watched it pretty young. Everything afterwards though, she just isn’t my kind of comedy. In fact, that entire group of them from Ghostbusters 2016 just aren’t my kinda thing, I’m not sure if SNL’s comedy doesn’t really translate to a British audience but I always found it a little cringey. That’s the thing, Ghostbusters 2016 isn’t good. Not at all, I just think it’s inherently less cynical than these later ones and at least it went for something rather than being happy to cash in the nostalgia bucks. Like they had to know it was going to be a controversial movie, although I guess they probably didn’t see the levels of vitriol coming, so part of me admires their willingness to stick to their guns.
