The blog’s been extra quiet lately as I’ve been writing my book (ahhhhh! yay!) but I decided to give myself a night off from book work tonight. Why? Well, I’m glad you asked. I could read for pleasure. I could enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! and then go to bed early. I could spend the whole night with the Doctor. All of those would be excellent uses of my night. However, instead, I’m using it to vent a little frustration. You see, Ghostbusters is one of my all-time favorite movies and one of my all-time favorite storytelling universes so when I recently read Jason Reitman’s plans for Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 I had FEELINGS. As is so often the case, this piece was born in a conversation I had with Jeffrey (of The Imperial Talker). The title of the piece – Nostalgia is going to kill us – was his exact quote when I told him of the sequel story. I couldn’t agree more so I was super excited when he said I could nick his observation for this piece. Shall we dive in? Are you ready? Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh…let’s go.
