Movie: Ghostbusters
Basic Plot: Four guys with a catchy theme song bust ghosts, also there is a giant marshmallow man.
I'm Okay With: The fact that Egon constantly preaches that they shouldn't "cross the streams", but every time they go after some ghosts, they are firing their proton packs all over the place with no regard to that rule. The fact that so many people have actually witnessed ghosts flying around and had a marshmallow man explode in front of their own eyes, but still believe the Ghostbusters are frauds (wait, they should be for the next movie). The fact that it is the EPA that shuts them down, when technically they are running a monopoly, you know, being the only ghost-busting business in town and can totally charge their customers whatever they want, so the EPA should be the least of their worries. The fact that Venkman has zero sexual harassment lawsuits pending against him.
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that that dick from the EPA makes our good guys turn off their (nuclear-powered) ghost containment machine and it releases a shit-ton of ghosts into New York City, but then they never revisit what exactly happened to all of those ghosts. And if you remember that scene, that machine releases an ass-ton of ghosts, but where did they go? Did the Ghostbusters recapture them after the credits? No, they didn't. We know this because the second movie explains that our ghost-busting buddies got their asses sued off by the city and are now subjected to dressing up for birthday parties. So, where in the hell did all of those ghosts go? Are they haunting another city? Did they all decide to pass on to the other side? I really think this should have been cleared up, but it wasn't. I am not okay with that.
