What happened here? Now for my reaction to this:

I honestly thought that the video was funny. It wasn't meant to be taken as seriously as some of you did. I agree, some of the comparisons were a bit of a reach, but still humorous.

was locked out of my account and just remembered my password...I get you all are Gfans...and I totally understand as I share the same passion for Harry Potter films and Ghostbusters I....and yes, Ghostbuster 2

My point in this video as well as all my other vids...you can't hate one movie for certain plot points and love another for employing those same plot points..

CouchTomato,
Many of the complaints about the '98 film had little to do with the plotting of the movie and more to do with the style, execution and handling of an iconic character.

Outside of the franchise it's still easier to malign for being a blueprint of everything 1990s blockbusters did wrong. It is responsible for ending the extreme advertising that helped springboard event movies and in turn it might also be responsible for making event films less "eventful".  

It takes more than specific plot points to "equal" another movie. According to Christopher Booker there's only seven different plots that any given story has-- So with that logic, most movies equal each other. What makes them different is the voice that's telling them, the style that brings them to life and the excution of that style in how it's envisioned. All of which are quite opposite in the two films compared in the original post.

"'Nostalgic' does not equal 'good,' and 'standards' does not equal 'elitism.'" "Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is your choice."
