How to Find a Mutually Beneficial Solution

Of course, Monty Python did reunite for some live shows. I started to watch a video of one, but I stopped a minute into the opening sketch. Terry Jones looked confused, and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to enjoy it.

I saw the all-woman Ghostbusters, and enjoyed it. As we speak there’s another Ghostbusters waiting on a shelf for the world to be ready for its release. This one seems to involve kids. I’m uneasy about it, but I know that I will see the film eventually.

After the Ghostbusters kids have had their shot, the last logical permutation to try will be a sort of Grumpy Old Men with proton packs. There was a story floating around at one time that Bill Murray refused to do more sequels because he said, “Nobody wants to see old men chasing ghosts.” But maybe it could work if they lean into it and make that the joke.

Or they could try to get Wes Anderson to write and direct it. They say he’s the only one who gets a no-questions-asked yes from Bill Murray anymore. You know Tilda Swinton would end up playing a ghost.
