Ghostbusters

Short Answer... You got me.

See, the movie that rebooted the series. subtitled Afterlife, came out in 2021.

So I have had the time to see it. I just haven't had the opportunity.

It's not on a streaming service I have, and I have a half-dozen of them. And I am not going to get another just to see one movie. 

Nor am I going to pay $15.00 to see a two-year-old movie in my house, when I would not have had to pay that much to see it in the theater as God intended. 

Plus, I can't even rent it. I can only buy it. I could see spending $5 to rent it, just to see it, 

I mean, I could just read the plot synopsis. But I want to, get this, actaully SEE the movie.

I like this series. I am of the age that I saw all of them, including the original-- and even the female-Ghostbuster one-- in the theater. 

OK, I never saw the TV animation. But it was pitched at little kids, which I no longer was (or had) when it was out. 

And now they have announced a sequel to Afterlife. Which, on principle, I refuse to see until I see Afterlife itself. Maybe when the sequel drops, they will make Afterlife easier to see, so people can get caught up. But probably not.

I did not intend for Ghostbusters to be the last entry in this blog, but here we are. I was going to do it before all the "not really a trilogy" series like the Garry Marshall Holiday movies and the Corneto series. I was going to do it before the "not a trilogy yet" series like Greek Wedding that only have two installments so far. 

I checked back every week to see if it had come available on a streamer I had, or for rent, or something. But no. 

Maybe I will look around at DVD stores to see if they have it. (I am also, shockingly, of the age of having a working DVD player.) If they do, I may post my Ghostbusters entry yet.
