G-type

I really don't like how the direction of fire changes to whatever was the last direction you moved.

If everyone hates it so much then how did it win?

and of course the courtroom scene when they save the judge.

I'm really not a big fan of the muppet-style ghosts... I prefer when they go for something more horror-based like the librarian in the opening of the first movie. Also, the Judge's performance in that scene is atrocious. And from a story perspective... it just makes no sense why the Ghostbusters would be in trouble when hundreds of thousands of people saw a giant marshmallow man walking through downtown New York.

and also... why was Winston left out of this scene?! They show him at the very beginning of the trial, but then he just disappears!

I can add those options to the poll but I still want to have a vote

just wanted to update folks who don't pay attention to the clubs section, that I started a b-movie club. I'll be accepting nominations for movie watching until Friday and then I'll create the poll.

This has to be a troll? 2016 Ghostbusters is just a terrible terrible movie. No way that garbage heap rates higher than 2.

I've tried to watch Ghostbusters Answer the Call a couple times, and never made it more than 30 or 40 minutes, before losing interest.

Viggo the Carpathian makes for a fun mid-tier baddie if Ghostbusters were doing a monster of the week type of thing... 

The Good: River of pink slime was cool. Ghost train scene and Egon as a construction worker was funny.

The bad: Bringing back Dana Barret (and her baby) was unnecessary and having the ghostbusters be reduced to fools after saving the city didn't seem right. The statue of liberty walking was just a rehash of the stay puft scene. The Louis and Janine romance didn't really work either

Overall, a pretty mediocre sequel that just goes show how much the first movie was lightning in a bottle and a bit of a fluke.

My first pick:

Ninja 3: The Domination

80s cult classic from the Cannon group. Part Ninja movie, part Excorcist... with a little bit of Flashdance and Poltergeist mixed in, starring the girl from Breakin' and Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo (plus a cameo by James Hong) This scene probably inspired Ninja Golf on the Atari 7800

It's a solid platformer, I just don't know if Mickey is greatest IP for a platformer to begin with... I don't recall watching Mickey Mouse cartoons and being like... "Wow does he sure LOVE apples!!"

Not as good as Aladdin or Ducktales but it gets the job done.

One of my favorite racing games

I need to know at which level you where as the rules are level then score.

I think it was level 7

I always viewed the "gotta go fast" as your reward for memorizing the levels and knowing what parts you can blaze through after having thoroughly explored it. Anyone trying to race through the level without knowing where they're going is doing it wrong. It's like trying to speedrun ANY game without having mastered it first.

My son really loves Overcooked and always trying to get me to play it with him... but its just so hard!

Adventures of Cookie and Cream is a great way to get into a fight with your wife.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is an interesting teamwork game

Battletoads (NES)

I don't recommend this in co-op mode at all.

• The ability to hurt your buddy
• not letting the other player keep going if one dies
• and level 11 just flat out not working.

The game is already hard enough in single player mode. Co-op is basically unplayable.

plus sites like Reddit can be hit-or-miss but can do alright.

Reddit makes Facebook seem downright wholesome

FB has a lot of a problems, but is there really a better alternative for staying in contact with a bunch of friends and family and strangers with similar interests?

The problem with the Simpsons is that its hard to tell stories with any stakes when there is no continuity. 99% of the episodes end with some contrived return to the status quo. “And I further decree that everything will be just like it was before all this happened! And no one will ever mention it again… under penalty of torture.”

Is it SNES Wing Commander?

I would have guessed an Atari home computer or a C64... but he said it was a console. I don't think it's 16-bit... not enough colors/blending

They were both fine, but I also didn't feel the urge to listen to either one all the way to the end.

Some recent tearjerkers that got me: The Whale, Everything Everywhere All At Once

Some of the all-timers:

My Girl
My Life
Cinema Paradiso
Life is Beautiful
Toy Story 3
Won't You Be my Neighbor
Braveheart
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

In book form:
Marley and Me (much more emotional than the movie)
Bridge to Terabithia

cool idea. I don't have that kind of money, but I've wanted that Lego set since it came out.
