PSA: Watching the original before a remake will ruin the remake for you every time
Honestly, I made the mistake of doing a double feature last weekend with the 1984 Ghostbusters and then the 2016 one back to back. The difference was so jarring I couldn't even finish the remake, it felt like a totally different movie with no soul. Tbh, if you're going to watch a remake, don't watch the old one first or you'll just get mad at all the missing charm. Has anyone else tried this and ended up walking away halfway through?

The Ghostbusters 2016 one was rough even on its own, I watched it first and still couldn't get into it. Doing them back to back like that just shows you how much the original nailed the pacing and jokes without trying too hard.

Yeah the 2016 one tried way too hard. Original just let the jokes land naturally.
