Terrifying Thursday IIII
Guys...I'm gonna be honest...I'm 3 days into hell week, and I'm flagging. I'm just....so tired. I don't have the time or wherewithal to make a cogent post. So please find enclosed some reviews of awful movies that I like (the reviews, not the movies) from three of my all time fav reviewers, Phelous, The Cinema Snob, and Obscurus Lupa.

Terrible Tuesday: Four more posts!
You all know how much I love Ghostbusters.
I love the 84 movie, the sequel, the 2016 Ghostbusters (fight me) the comics, Extreme Ghostbusters, and of course, The Real Ghostbusters.
However....
There is one time when the Ghostbusters sucked. It was from season 4 onwards, when the show became Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters.
There was a consulting company named Q5. And between them and some focus groups, they changed the show from a mildly scary romp to a toothless shell of it's former self. Janine's glasses are pointy, and kids are scared of pointy things! Better make 'em round! Also her accent is too harsh! Make her a 'mommy' figure to the guys! Also Peter sounds like Garfield: better replace Lorenzo Music with a dopy sounding Dave Coulier! Winston isn't important, so he can be the driver! Also, Ray is unless, better get rid of him!
All of those are real, BTW, That last one is where they drew the line, refusing to get rid of Ray. But they did make him thinner.
Gone was Peter's scarcasm. Gone where the humaniod ghosts (it'll scare the kids!). Gone were references to the Necronomicon. Gone were the things that made the show great. And it died a slow, painful death over the next few seasons.
If I ever meet a member of Q5, I've vowed to punch them in the face. You want to talk about ruining childhood? Don't look to Ghostbusters 2016, you malignant misogynistic mooks. Look to your actual childhoods.
For an even more in-depth analysis, please see Phelous' breakdown of the good and bad parts of RGB. This is but a taste, dear readers. It's real horror on Halloween.
Like, a lot.
