They run a completely unregulated business in the middle of leftist country.

>It wasn't funny or entertaining and Bill Murray was really annoying in this movie.

Oh my god his opinion differs! Quick, re-integrate into the hivemind before you start thinking for yourself.

Seriously. You just listed all the things you KNOW others like about the movie and you happen to not like them. Do you really think there is more to the movie that you somehow missed? You just have a different taste than all the people that loved the jokes.

Opinions, pissass. You didn't enjoy it, but others do.

>I watched a movie everyone likes and I'm pretending not to like it everyone look at me pay attention to me I'm important me me me.

>>268815

Honestly Ghostbusters is a little overrated largely because a lot of people watched it as children.

I wouldn't go as far as saying awful but if you go into it with hyped up expectations you'll probably not get it.

>>268843

Also this.

Some of the funny is supposed to come from a fucking giant marshmallow man but most of it is in the sheer absurdity of the premise and complete incompetence of the characters.

This incompetence was also a pretty major contrast to other films of the time.

>Perhaps it's the absurdity of the premise.

I'm fine with the premise. Since it's a supposedly a comedy, it really doesn't matter how absurd it is, as long as it was funny. The problem was this movie wasn't. I didn't laugh once while watching it and wanted to stop watching it halfway through

You guys are such fucking faggots

fookin smartphones man and their broken ass typing

it still makes me laugh, so it's not a bad movie, it's just your opinion m8

>the rest of this thread

kill yourselves

I've never watched it with the understanding that it's supposed to be funny because it plainly isn't. It's just some nice silly action entertainment.

Are you telling me people actually laugh out loud at this movie?

To be fair, the whole setup of having an incompetent group of guys dealing with some weird science fantasy catastrophe has actually been copied many times since Ghostbusters.

It was unique at the time and helped set the standard for what came many times after.

It's a bit like how many people can watch Citizen Kane and think it's a fairly cheesy movie now, even while it helped promote a variety of directorial techniques that became so popular they were copied to death.

>>269187

Yes. Many people have found the movie laugh out loud funny.

>>268815

My guess is you don't like it because the main characters aren't women.

BUT GUESS WHAT? NOT MUCH LONGER WILL YOU SUFFER

>>268815

Ghostbusters was a product of its time. If you watch for the first time now, it won't be as good as it would be watching it back then or when seeing it when you are a kid.

I watched it recently for the first time too, and didn't enjoy it all that much either. Whole Bill Murray annoyingly wooing Weaver subplot could be just cut out and it would probably make the movie better.

Criticizing Ghostbusters for being "not funny" is the opposite of nostalgia. Modern comedies suck, and generally don't even have a plot. They shouldn't even be movies, but sketch comedy shows or stand-up routines. Every modern comedy needs at least 2 big "jokes" per scene, but older comedies weren't like that. You didn't even need 1 joke per scene because they were movies first, and the goal of a movie is to have a narrative.

Ghostbusters "not funny" nature is a matter of it not being a modern comedy and not existing to throw out as many jokes as possible in every scene because it is catering to an audience of 80 IQ brown people who keep Hollywood afloat.

Liking Ghostbusters isn't nostalgia. Not liking it is a modern bias that prefers lolsorandumb garbage that is frenetic and unwatchable if you are a sober adult.

It's pretty cool when you're 6.

>my subjectivity is objective

wow fascinating do go on, what's your livejournal you piece of shit faggot, fuck Ghostbusters

>>268815

>It wasn't funny

Agreed, but I think that's only because I watched this movie as such a young kid that I was too engrossed in the Ghostbusting aspect to get the humor. When I later "got it", I'd seen it too many times to find it funny.

"Yes, it's true. This man has no dick" is just a brilliant scene, even if you can't laugh out loud at it/sense of humor is broken.

>or entertaining

No. It's a very fun movie that can be enjoyed on multiple levels. It's a true family movie unlike the crap that is passed off as being for the whole family today.

>and Bill Murray was really annoying in this movie.

I don't think he's annoying, but I don't feel he's that funny, though this may just be the effect I mentioned before.

People go on about his adlibbing in this movie, but to me it sounds like it's part of the script and people are waiting for him to finish his superfluous dialogue before they start. I'm not that keen on Bill Murray, ultimately, but he's not obnoxious.

>>268815

yes its true

OP has no dick.

>>269251

>>268815

You know what. I HAVE THIS OPINION TOO and THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME that I HEARD THEM.

Thank you. I see how popular it were, how many people absolutely loved it but I could not get that feeling. Thanks this thread for explaining me that it mostly tied to nostalgia. I find some of the jokes funny but Bill Murray really rub me the wrong way and the only character I liked is the BlackSidekick.

How did so many fall for such shit quality trolling? What the fuck has happened to this board? I seriously hope this is all samefagging.

see >>269310 and >>269328

>>269328

airplane! is shit though.

it's just "scary movie" from the past, sort of spoofing a popular genre at the time and making pop culture jokes that aged like shit, like they usually do.

i explain airplane! being considered "one of the funniest movies of all times" the same way i explain the beatles being "the greatest band of all times" : it's what people who detain most power and influence right now used to watch back in the day.

>>269551

Having abnormal opinions = trolling.

…

How could you fall for being a retard? Oh wait, your mom fucked a nigger.

It's a 7/10 movie at best

>>269310

> comedy movies aren't supposed to be funny

Genius logic right there.

> You didn't even need 1 joke per scene because they were movies first, and the goal of a movie is to have a narrative.

No, the movie IS the narrative. And you need creative, well timed humor to make a good comedy, which is not the case of Ghostbusters. Guess now you will say that action movies don't need good action.

> Ghostbusters "not funny" nature is a matter of it not being a modern comedy and not existing to throw out as many jokes as possible in every scene because it is catering to an audience of 80 IQ brown people who keep Hollywood afloat.

No, the "not funny" nature is a matter of it not being funny. Also, back to stormfront.

> Liking Ghostbusters isn't nostalgia. Not liking it is a modern bias that prefers lolsorandumb garbage that is frenetic and unwatchable if you are a sober adult.

Not liking Ghostbuster is mere a result of disliking boring, unfunny movies. This has nothing to do with the era the movie was released. Stop blaming modern movies for its blandness, if modern movies were good Ghostbusters would still be meh.

Found the grumpy granny

Oh. I thought this is about the FemBusters

>>273800

It is. It is a technique employed quite often in the pursuit of selling degenerate remakes by shitting on the old version. Happened with Total Recall, Robocop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc. etc.

OP is a shill and samefagging the thread to death in an attempt to tarnish memories of the previous film and making accepting the new one easier. If the "old one wasn't that good" then the new one has much less to stack up against.

Joke is in this case the original was very good and OP comes off as a complete faggot forcing it being the opposite of what it is remembered as.

> I don't get the praise at all

Well, it appears you've run into the incredibly rare (almost unheard of!) phenomenon called "I don't like something that a lot of other people like". It can be difficult to cope with, but don't panic. You can help deal with it with a simple technique I like to call "Just watch something else".

You're full of shit OP. But GB2 was garbage though.
