With word that Columbia is actually actively looking at Ghostbusters 3 again, it seemed like a good reason to take a look at the long, slow process of nothing that the sequel has been shambling through to get to this point.

Anybody that knows me knows that there are only a handful of shows that I love as much as I love Saturday Night Live. There is no end to the amount of praise that I could bestow on this marvelous show, but I have decided to take another route. For anybody born in the 70’s [...]

From Airplane! in 1980 to the recent release of Tropic Thunder, satirical comedies done right can entertain the best of us. While not every movie he makes is a crowd pleaser, David Zucker is the king of satire. Almost all of his films have been of satirical nature. His work unfortunately paved the way for such disastrously bad movies like Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans. Even Zucker's...

Writer/director David Zucker definitely knows his around the spoof genre, and he should, since he’s been doing it for a good 30 years now. Although he kind of fell off the map for a while (along with his brother Jerry and writing partner Jim Abrahams) after The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, he [...]
