That will happen when you've pulled the plug and are living with just a few streaming services, not cable.Ghostbusters was, during my childhood, my absolute very favorite thing. The first thing I wrote, I wrote circa age 4: Ghostbusters fanfiction, dictated to my mom who actually wrote down the words, and "illustrated" (hideously) by my four year old self and that was when I started proceeding down the path of the writer as my calling.Everything Ghostbusters related was by far my most precious childhood memory, and my inner child, bustin' made him feel good. Ghostbusters was sacred to me, my inner child's safe, happy place.Then Ghostbusters (2016) happened which was, pardon my graphic language, like this:very over the top metaphor follows[spoiler] my inner child was DIS-A-POIN-TED! (Language contra ENWorld’s ToS removed.[/spoiler]The Ghostbusters that obliges us to call the real Ghostbusters film Ghostbusters (1984) by its very existence was badly written badly acted unfunny uninspired insulting preposterous callow cash grab that, if you had a problem with it, it had to be because you HATE THE WAHMENS, it couldn't be any of the dozens of things obviously horribly wrong with it. I'm not going to lie: I am still angry enough about Ghostbusters (2016) that I can't quite bring myself to even click on the trailer for this. It is too soon. It's too soon.What I gleaned about Afterlife (the people involved, the premise, the milieu, etc.) from skimming the first page of this thread seems somewhat promising. The other vague impression I get from the same brief skim is that it seems to be leaning noticeably more towards the spooky/scary side of Ghostbusters and away from the comedy aspects which is an...interesting choice.</blockquote>
