"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" (2024)

The "new" team of Busters (introduced in "GB: Afterlife") battle an evil entity with the power to turn New York -- and the world - into a wintry wasteland. Fortunately the three surviving OG Busters (Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and yes, even Bill Murray) are there to lend a hand.
I liked this spooky adventure comedy better than "Afterlife." At times it feels like a deliberate passing-of-the-torch from the old crew to the new team. If there are further sequels, I wouldn't be surprised if Aykroyd and the old gang are absent.

Quote from: lester1/2jr on February 15, 2026, 03:46:24 PMThe Epstein Files is a "They Live" sequel.

It's a bold creative choice for the Trump admin to keep the 'OBEY' and 'SLEEP' subtitles running while they redact every name that matters. Bondi is doing a great job as the lead gaslighter, it takes a special kind of 'talent' to look at a room full of monsters and say, 'Nothing to see here, let's go ahead and harass the victims some more for the plot development.'

Tonight's Stinker
I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now?(1975)
https://youtu.be/W0vNw0klxeY?si=V2s9HJavxGTKbxkJ

A rich ne'er-do-well loses his job after being caught embezzling, and is given thirty days to pay the money back... He then goes home to his rich wife, only to discover she wants a divorce, with alimony....
After a while, his les than helpful psychiatrist puts the idea of killing his wife in his head, and he sets out to find a hitman... Eventually, he settles for a simpleton with gambling debts.... Unfortunately, the next day, he learns the insurance policy he took out on his wife is null....
He tries to stop the hit, but the simpleton subcontracted the work, as did the subcontractor, as did a litany of subcontractors, so he has to follow his wife to Las Vegas with a group of idiots to find the hitman....

Lots of frantic energy from the lead, which gets exhausting at times, but works out... Some characters play like college students who saw an SNL sketch & thought they could stretch it out for ninety minutes, but it also has plenty of Python-esque moments that get a good laugh....

Quote from: zombie no.one on February 15, 2026, 03:11:41 AMI suppose a take away from this is that it's not the actual audible formation of the word itself which is offensive, because every time you say the word 'vinegar' you are literally saying that word, and yet nobody (at least nobody sane) bats an eyelid.

ditto every time you say the word 'country' you are technically turning the airwaves blue.

so ultimately all the controversy is 100% about the semantics behind words, rather than the actual words themselves.

maybe that's a very obvious and self evident point to make? feel like it often gets lost in all the surrounding commotion though....

The exhausting part is the current 'edge culture' that thrives on this exact technicality. There's a specific type of person who loves to play with phonetic proximity, using words like 'vinegar' with a metaphorical wink, just to see how close they can get to a slur without 'technically' crossing the line.

They treat language like a game of 'I'm not touching you,' pushing boundaries specifically to provoke a reaction, then retreating into 'it's just a word' when they get called out.


do you think this guy had a case then, and they were deliberately leaving vinegar near him as a trolling attempt?... I mean, it's hard to avoid bottles of vinegar around the place in a pub that serves pub food!

Not classic tracks, but 90s revival stuff from mostly Italian bands. Still cool (even the lame tracks, like the uptempo Hammond organ version of the "Odd Couple" theme, are pretty cool).
