I like Fall and Winter almost equally, but the lack of snow made me appreciate Autumn a little more.

Car crashes went over big for Dan Ackroyd in THE BLUES BROTHERS. GHOSTBUSTERS was originally supposed to be a follow-up w/ Belushi in Bill Murray's role. That's possible to imagine but also what is GHOSTBUSTERS w/o Murray???

Quote from: claws on February 01, 2026, 12:31:21 PMFall is vibrant foliage and cozy layers, but it always feels cut short, it's essentially become an extension of Summer. Winter, however, is for the soul. I love the long nights and the holiday spirit; I just wish a white Christmas wasn't a thing of the past. Even though the "Snowpocalypse" this week made the commute a nightmare, seeing the world buried in white feels right. That's how Winter should be.

Spring used to be a favorite, but now it's just a game of weather whiplash, chilly one day and 30∘C (86∘F) the next. It's just another precursor to Summer, my least favorite season. I can't stand the heat or the constant sweating. My ideal Summer peaks at 25∘C (77∘F), but since that rarely happens, I'll just stick to the rainstorms.

I predicted you would rank them Winter, Autumn, Spring, Summer, so I guess I was off.

hah, well if your barometer is set to read 'action per minute' maybe it is... prob worksa bit better on the big screen as well. 

Quote from: M.10rda on February 01, 2026, 10:30:54 AMThe series gets progressively co-star happy, as if adding a new permanent cast member/sidekick every movie will keep audiences interested. (Maybe the FAST/FURIOUS franchise works the same way, I dunno.)

well Chris Rock has never been my cup of tea/coffee either so him turning up didn't endear me to it...

(it's less bad than LOADED WEAPON though, imo)

My choices:

Summer - best weather, vacations, my birthday!
Fall - OK weather at the beginning, Halloween, Thanksgiving, football, and the run-up to Christmas
Spring - improving weather but kind of boring
Winter - terrible weather, a little snow is nice, too much is a disaster; once New Years is over, nothing really going on

Ghostbusters (1984)

Way back, when it came out I somehow decided that this wasn't a movie for me so I never saw it. Perhaps the ubiquitous theme song put me off. In the meantime it has become so much a part of pop culture that you're familiar with its main scenes whether you want to or not. So, although it now holds few surprises, it is entertaining.

When did we stop thinking that car crashes were funny and ought to be included in any chaotic scene?
