True story? I generally am a very good judge of people and their motivations. I study them. Most people, by and large, don't know themselves at all, and don't even have any idea why they "like" or "dislike" anything they claim to, and when you actually engage them in conversation and pay close attention, it's easy enough to read between the lines and figure them out. It's not exactly an impossible skill to learn; therapists and the like do it all the time. All it takes is the ability to actually pay attention to what people are saying, not wait for one thing you can "call them" on.

Human beings are simple creatures, they're not at all complicated, and they like stupid things for stupider reasons. Doesn't take Freud to figure them out, just a keen sense of observation. In this case, especially. Not one person born after 1994 or so gives one sh*t if there's ever another Ghostbusters movie or who is in it. Hardly anything controversial in that statement, or the previous one that you seemed to take such offense to. True things don't stop being true just because you don't care for the person saying them or you think they're coming off as condescending. When you're right, you don't have to be nice about it or apologize for it. So, I'm not and I don't.

Look, I love the guy, and the franchise, but holy sh*t, in literally every other context it's ever been done in, the entire concept of "ghost busters/hunters/whatever" has been repeatedly dismissed as corny, from Storch and Tucker and their fake gorilla all the way down the line to whatever fake "reality" show that toys with it. I'm glad the fact HE thinks there are really ghosts gives the guy's life a purpose, and it's cute he's so committed, but be real, the only person who takes ANYthing Dan Akroyd says seriously is Akroyd. In fact, him being so gung-ho on a new GB franchise is a pretty big hint that it will be terrible. He was the one who insisted they do another Blues Brothers movie 20 years later and like 15 years or so after Belushi died. And it was dogsh*t. Starting to sound familiar? I love the guy, but seriously, he has imbibed HEAVILY on his own bullsh*t for the last few decades. Nothing he says means anything.

My point stands, the characters/actors/execution made the movie into so much more than what it was. Not the concept in and of itself.
