I don't have all sorts of cash to use to rent movies people are nostalgic about.

Also, my dad grew up in the 80s, but he doesn't care about anything that existed then, so it's not like he has an assortment of old movies for me to watch and enjoy or anything.

Yeah but it's Ghostbusters, and it's not a nostalgic movie. It's stood the test of time and is still great and still funny. To me, something nostalgic is something we remember being awesome as a kid, but upon viewing when grown up, it sucks balls. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the very definition of nostalgia.

I can't believe there are people that have not seen this movie.

And it sounds weird but I think the funniest line in the whole movie is from the maid in the hotel after the guys inadvertently attack her whilst going after Slimer:  Just seeing the maid crouching behind the cart amongst the flaming rolls of toilet paper and screaming "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN?"

Gets me every time.

Yeah, Real Ghostbusters kicked ass. A classic of its time, like Ninja Turtles.

I threw on GB last night (with commentary) due to all the talk. I think the biggest laugh for me is Lewis' neighbor's reaction when she comes out of her apartment while the hellhound is busting loose. Perfect comedic timing.

I totally lost it at that point.  Something about the way that line was kind of shoved into the background of the scene.  He made a big deal about trying to pull the tablecloth off the cool way, and then when he did it, everybody else moved on and in the background he's still trying to sound triumphant.  :lol

I don't think Ghostbusters 2 is that bad.  Doesn't quite capture the magic of the first one, but Vigo the Carpathian is awesome.

On a mountain of skulls
In the castle of pain
I sat on a throne of blood
What was will be
What is will be no more
Now is the season of evil!

It has some good quotes, scenes, and I like the villain. Probably the line I quote most when asked a question with a definitive yes answer:

"ls the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?"

But Caddyshack 2 was completely horrible.  Jackie Mason is no Rodney Dangerfield, and everything else was pretty lame anyway.  I just don't see what's so horrible about Ghostbusters 2.  There were a number of legitimately funny scenes and lines, a great bad guy, and it was a true sequel in that it continued and expanded upon the original story; it didn't just serve up more of the same.

There's nothing wrong with it. Everyone just jumped on the bandwagon forever ago.

I grew up watching both films and the animated series. There is nothing wrong with any of them.

Strangely enough, GB2 is one of the first films I remember seeing in theaters. The scene where Vigo's painting possesses Janosz terrified me. I ran screaming from the theater. Take into consideration that I was 3 at the time :P

I didn't even realize there was a hating GB2 bandwagon.  I always thought it was cool, not as good as the original of course but still good in it's own right.  Then again I may just be viewing it through nostalgia goggles.  I was around 9 when it came out, saw the trailer in the theater, got super hyped, saw it in the theater, bought the soundtrack cassette, jammed out to the Bobby Brown song, etc.

There's no bandwagon.  It's just that most people don't like it.

If you guys like it, then great.  But I have tried very, very hard to like it and I can't.  I just don't see anything about it TO like.  It's in the same vein as other shitty sequels like the aforementioned Caddyshack 2 and Grease 2.

It follows the exact same format as the first one.

1. They're not Ghostbusters.
2. "Proving grounds" ghost - first bust.
3. Now they're Ghostbusters.
4. Ghostbusting montage.
5. Reveal immortal badass causing ghostage.
6. Research/study said badass.
7. Jail.
8. Finale involving extremely large character.

The second one is the first one with jokes that aren't quite as clever.
