Insidous 3 sorry not scary if your a season horror fan kinda creepy but liked the 2nd movie better, sorry wanted expected better or more. give a 4.

Mad max still one the favorite's beside's Automata , Chappie, Exmachina and Arnold's Sabotage still top on the list along with Ron Perlman in Poker night , JUDGE DREDD 2012 Remake and yet find a horror to top THE CONJURING and been searching a while now. The Taking of Deborah Logan horror came close n very damn creepy.

Laggies movie cute odd romance movie with Keira Knightley & Chloe Morertz has yet to let me down in any movies anyway give LAGGIES movie a 6.
 
Even tho I don't love Ghostbuster, it's a solid 9/10. :lol
I mean come on... Mainstream with great cast, comedy-horror, and still good? That's fantastic!
 
The guys were wore out and took the first applicant on the spot. :dunno

By the time they hired him, the Ghostbusters were famous. They were on tv shows, magazines, and they were the hottest thing in town, like the Beetles. Winston just shows up to an empty firehouse holding the newspaper ad. There should have been a huge line of people fighting for that spot, like hundreds of scientist, paranormal experts, and people with a PhD degree, but instead they went with the "everyman," when they should have had their pick of the litter at that point. Winston can only work if the Ghostbusters hire him before they hit it big, maybe (but not necessarily) because one of them knew him already. That's the only way that picking a guy with zero scientific knowledge to help around is justifiable, imo.
 
You're right, the way they hired the guy prior to this scene definitely wasn't realistic enough.

Just because there's a fantasy element to the film, it doesn't mean that the rest of the movie is exempt from making sense, especially since the whole point of the film is that something out of the norm is happening in the real world, and no one believes it, except the 3 scientist/Ghostbusters. :dunno

Or do you also excuse the flaws in MOS just because there are aliens at the end and it's not realistic? :lol

First Hans Gruber, now Ghostbusters. You really don't get the 80's do you? ;) The movie is not "ghosts in a realistic world."

It's New York city, not a fantasy land, and the Ghostbusters are the believers among all the non believers in the supernatural. Even when all the craziness is going on, the governor and most people refuse to believe the truth, thinking it's some kind of trick or hoax, because in the real world stuff like that doesn't happen. Even the Ghostbusters' equipment, house, and vehicle makes sense on some level. So yes, the way Winston was rewritten into the film makes no sense, especially given their position at the time he was hired, right after a montage that shows how famous and successful the Ghostbusters are in NY :lo
 
I see. So did everything else in the movie make perfect plausible sense to you or was it just that one scene?

Like what? I think the way the three guys got started made sense and explained pretty well....they even went to a bank to get a second mortgage so that they could afford the firehouse. When the bad guy wanted to inspect the place, Peter asked him to come back with a permit. If you take away the ghosts from the film, they are just highly educated exterminators basically. I would say that most things in the film make sense. Even in the sequel, it's starts with them out of business because they were sued by the city because of all the damage "they caused". That's more logical and realistic than most superhero film I've seen where the characters aren't held accountable for their actions...even if they saved the city...*cough* ..Batman Begins :lol

Good point. :exactly: Hadn't occurred to me lol.
 
Inside Out - 9/10

The most imaginative PIXAR movie to date and easily their best film in years. There are some really funny parts and there are parts that will make you wish you had brought some tissues.
 
Gone Girl was a great film technically, but the story wasn't the strongest it could have been.

I cannot wait to see this movie.

Why does every time someone tries to make sense it's about realism? :lol Like Price said, even if it's a fantasy movie it doesn't have to be devoid of logic, sure, it may be a minor nitpick by Prince, and it doesn't even really affect the movie, but he has a point, just very minor inconsequential inconsistency, I don't agree with his score, it's a solid 9 for me, but I do agree with him on that little nitpick.

You really don't get the 80's do you?

What is there to get, particularly intrinsic to the 80's in that scene?

Well since earlier he needed the attributes of Hans Gruber spelled out and then was struggling with Ghostbusters I initially took it as an "era of film" thing. But you're right, he doesn't "get" current blockbusters like Jurassic World either so I rescind the notion that there's only one specific period of film that he has trouble with. ;)
