Ghostbusters
51Watch it awake.
The small company does the work, and the city official is only a punchline.
The review
I like that they have a business. Three university men start catching ghosts in New York, with a schedule, a city official in the way, and a neighbor who gets possessed. The work is the joke and also the plot. The marshmallow man is how they cash the joke on a rooftop.
Watch the official. The film needs him to be a fool so the private crew can be the heroes. Sometimes officials are fools. A city still has to know who answers for the street that joke just occupied. Enjoy the company. Do not take the rooftop as a lesson in who is allowed to be in charge.
Journal
Keep Ghostbusters in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety and Temperance are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Gremlins
64 instead of 51
Gremlins is still a comedy film, and it scores 64 instead of 51. What you gain is temperance: Cute is not a virtue.
