If we're doing passing of the torch to make a Ghost Busters the next generation, I hope someone looks at the lame attempt to pass the torch to Shia la lousy in the Indiana Jones franchise and stops raping movies.
I loved the first ghostbusters, mainly because the cast really played off of each other, the special effects weren't special, but the writing was solid and Bill Murray and Harold Ramis really carried the comedy. The second one wasn't great because the script was terrible.
If we're going to do a third one, lets wrap it up for good. Lets not pass it onto young hip actors because their young hip actors.
Non of those guys could carry Bill Murray's comedy jock strap. Non of those guys could replace Harold Ramis dry sense of humor.
Stop the rebooting, write your own stories and be creative (Except for you Chris Nolan, you can stay). Stop trying to recast roles. Quit raping the classic movies so that you can squeeze an extra few minutes.
Because the next thing you know, McG will get his hands on the ghost busters franchise and Slimer will be running around with a proton accelerator on his back.

I am completely torn about this post and your ideas. I really want to see Ghostbusters back on the big screen, but at what expense does it come with?
Do you do it with the old cast 1 more time then migrate the story to them hiring their replacements? Do you just start it off with new people - it won't have to be big name stars necessarily, but people who could pull off the script the way it was intended.
Don't forget, the story, whatever it may be, will be written by Harold Ramis and Dan, so in theory, the spirit of the originals will be there.
Does Hollywood ize another part of my childhood? or do they re-establish Ghostbusters to the legendary status it is meant to be in?
