Surprised how much you guys disliked Ghostbusters. While I didn’t like it as much as my girlfriend, I thought it was pretty much the funniest movie I’ve seen in at least a year, and I’m someone who couldn’t be bothered to finish watching Bridesmaids or Spy. I guess comedy is pretty subjective, though.

Frank, your movie-list-making rules and rationale are solid…stick to your guns. Although I do believe it is for posterity and not prosperity, as you claim at 58.50.

I’m trying to find the episode where you guys review the POINT BREAK reboot. It was absolute shite. All reboots have been awful, all future reboots will be awful, and Hollywood will continue to make em if the audience continues to go and see them. If you really need to see these get them from the library.

Sean, I was pleased to hear you mention the director Sydney J Furie in an old podcast. If you’re desperate to own THE TAKING OF BEVERLY HILLS on bluray you can get it in the UK amazon store. It’s a German release called BOOMER : ÜBERFALL AUF HOLLYWOOD. Two other films of his I really enjoyed are HOLLOW POINT and TOP OF THE WORLD.

Oh and that bluray is region B. Speaking of regions I’d like to ask a question for the show…

Dear Film Junk. Love the show but I think you give DVDs unfair criticism. You may not be aware, living in NTSC land but PAL DVDs are a little bit different and have pros that far outweigh the cons. Sure, the picture quality might not be the greatest, but where PAL DVD truly shines is in the frame rate conversion. PAL TVS run at 25 frames per second and when converting 24 fps films they are sped up so that the first frame of the second second happens a frame before the actual second second starts. This continues to buffer so that every 25 seconds of real time takes only 24 seconds in PAL. That ninety minute film is now only 86.4 minutes long. You guys constantly complain about movie running times so how awesome is this?

That’s true although Apatow still did a fair bit of writing and directing on it.

Biggest problem I had with GB16 was the villain. What was his motivation? He seemed like an afterthought. You guys nailed a lot of the thoughts I had (poor effects, DOA jokes, oddball acting – maybe due to improv?), but overall I was ok when the Ghostbusters were on screen. Ghosts all sucked. Fart jokes got MASSIVE laughs from the two 12-year-old girls seated in front of me.
