There is a new Ghostbusters trailer. Watch the beginning. Really, it is just the beginning that is new. https://youtu.be/CiaZ1Z4ZJoM
Ugh. Everything about this looks like it was designed by a committee.
Probably.
At least it kind of looks like a movie instead of 2 hours of comedians ad-libbing for the camera.
It kinda gives the impression Gozer might be back in some way or some kind of energy from Gozer. Maybe I am reading too much into it.
I'm guessing that beam of light we saw shoot out of the ground was from the containment unit, long buried and now failing.
OG Ghostbusters show up as the containment unit breaks, we find out Egon went into it when he died to keep it stable, something warmhearted happens and maybe Bill Murray finally apologizes to Harold Ramis' ghost.
For what it's worth Lars is completely hated in every single archery community, and the biggest claim to fame of Hollywood embracing his shit was that he was the technical advisor for that Taron Edgerton(?) Jamie Foxx robin hood movie.
Why? Just curious.

I dunno, I just fundamentally don't like movies that lean so far into comedic ad libbing that they lose any fundamental character aspects. Feigs movies, to me, are notorious for that. It feels like stitched together SNL vignettes. The only one of his that didn't was Spy. Bad Teacher, Bridesmaids, The Heat, etc, all fell incredibly flat for me.
Every once in a while a miracle happens (Again, Superbad) and all the planets align etc, but for the most part I file these kinds of films away with all of the bad Adam Sandler movies that were made because dude wanted to get paid to go on vacation. Which, I would do the same thing.
Which is why I couldn't get into GB2016. This looks like the people involved might give a shit. Whether it's a lame paint-by-the-numbers affair or something with some actual heart is impossible to tell, but I'm just happy it's not another one of those fucking movies.

He's got a bad habit of instead of saying "hey I've trained in this almost lost art of horseback archery (which is the entire purpose of his form) and re-tooled it for some interesting shooting, let's start a club" and instead gone to every archery organization and basically told them they all suck their shit sucks his shit rocks and they need to get with it.
No one disagrees with his ability or knowledge of archery, but his style isn't original. It's the mongolian horse-bow style and has been seen from the far reaches of Asia to the native americas, but he acts like he invented trick shots.

Yeah I didn't care about most of Feig's stuff but I loved Spy and they did a bad job marketing it. It was a really good movie.

Fred Bear used to do the same shit without using giant blunted tips to make the shot easier.
He used young boys holding targets.

Spy proves Feig has enough talent to make actual, real damn good comedic movies when he puts effort into it. The timing of the jokes was *mwah*
And yeah, I agree, they presented it as another wacky hijinks movie when it's actually solid as hell and hilarious.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

"One would expect Kant to take a hard line against rape as an immoral act, since it uses a person’s body
without their consent. However, Kant scholars point out that his views on rape largely amount to what
we today might call victim-shaming. He says that a woman who has been raped, since she has
surrendered to the will of another person, “is bound to give up her life rather than dishonor humanity” –
Kant opines that it is better for her to commit suicide than to dishonor herself as a rape victim. Alan Soble
describes this as an example of Kant’s ethics being problematically “stubborn about the moral
significance of such duties-to-self”, like the duty not to degrade oneself (p. 56)."

Spy is fantastic, if only for the Jason Statham scenes alone. He plays a parody of a role that he usually plays in his movies, and it's fantastic.

So @Feral here's a video from four years before Lars got big, it's another instructor (who I believe worked with Lars but I can't cite that) who teaches the same style.
You can pause the video and see she still uses the traditional form of the arrow to the left of the forward grip, which is what makes sense because otherwise you've got to cant the bow (tilt it) something godawful to get a sight profile and avoid the archer's paradox, which Lars says he avoids by putting the arrow of the off side, but scientifically that's horseshit and actually makes your arrows fly wild unless you've specifically spined and fletched them that way, which he has.
What makes her a fast shot (aside from practice) is that she uses a thumb ring and you grip the arrow to pull back rather than letting the nock clip onto the string as it does with modern plastic nocks. Thumb ring style uses more of a "U" shaped nock you have to hold with your thumb and inner palm.
She's also shooting at a large blanket instead of an actual target because it's almost fucking impossible to hit something smaller than a torso like that, hence it being a horse drawn style. Mongol soldiers used to carry an arrow in each grove between fingers and could fire off four arrows from horseback in about five seconds, and if they were close, they were in the midst of battle so they're gonna hit something, be it horse or man.
Lars basically adopted an existing technique to fit his style as would someone who learned to play guitar by ear but those people don't typically go to concerts and tell the performers they're doing it wrong.
Anyway that's my archery rant for the year everyone click like and subscribe and don't forget to keep those comments coming.

One of my favorite things from KPCS was when he did an anniversary show with Matthew Perry and Pollak pointed out you can do a flawless Statham impersonation by taking "Do you know what I mean", compressing it into the two syllable "djuh-maen", and then say it with a slight rasp in less time than it takes to say the word "mean" normally.
