The suggestion Kingpin, or anyone else, was looking down on real secretarial work as a profession is nonsense and the resulting “outrage” is not in the least bit convincing.

I ignored it once. The 2nd time I’m taking it as an insult. I’d like to give you an opportunity to clarify this and apologize. Your use of “outrage” in quotes & the fact that you use “convince” as if I’m somehow not being genuine seems passive aggressive.

The latter sent its members a message to vote on giving them the authority to strike - this was an initiative. Doesn't mean they are striking. It just means that if in June when they start negotiating the contract and things don't go well, the union can immediately call for a strike instead of sending members a message to vote then. Being proactive right now.

I feel criticism of Derek's proposal was valid, but there may've been a better way for me to articulate my point than what I'd written.

I'm not arguing Lucky is primary character over Phoebe or Podcast, but I think she should get as much of a chance to reinforce her credentials as a potential Ghostbuster, and get to expand the role that was cut-down through editing in Afterlife.

Kingpin wrote: ↑May 19th, 2023, 12:43 pmMore and more I’m getting the feeling they should retitle this franchise “The Spenglers” since that’s the angle they seem to be going with. I wonder if Vin Diesel is going to show up in this movie. I’m getting the theme of Ghostbuster going forth is “family”. Since Vin has the word “family” trademarked I think by law he’s either owed money or an appearance.deadderek wrote: ↑May 19th, 2023, 12:17 pm Sigourney says she won't be back for Firehouse.Her little coda in Afterlife's end credits is probably all we needed to see in regards to how Dana's doing in the 2020s: she's happy, she's married to Peter, and she's keeping him respectable and on his toes.
I'm happy for Dana to have a nice and quiet life living in upstate New York, not having to worry anymore about ghosts after all that she's been through.

Meanwhile in 2022 we saw Jurassic World: Dominion, Lightyear, Elvis released in June, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Part 1, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, The Flash, Elemental, Asteroid City, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be released in June 2023... The era of the big summer blockbuster may be past us, but plenty of studios are still releasing high-interest films in the June block.
I know it's appealing to move the new film to June so it coincides with the anniversary, but I fear a June move would lead to "Firehouse" performing poorly against the competition likely to be released next summer.

Tying Dana to whatever the threat is a 3rd time would be way too repetitive. They did a good job making Gozer in Afterlife feel like a natural return but it’s time for a different plot and situation.

Like I said she’s been pretty open, probably a little too open, about her involvement. Maybe they’ll reuse some of the stuff that was cut with her in it.

I also had a random thought. Which was I wondered if the sequel will one up the RTV with a flying drone trap. That might be cool. Podcast piloting a drone trap with him seeing the drone pov from the Ecto goggles?
Wanted to share. Carry on!

Frankly until I said something I don’t even think any of you realized the behaviour you were engaging in. Given that it’s stopped since I said something I think I’ve given some of you some things to think about. Sometimes we don’t realize how our remarks are coming across.
Did Kingpin or the others mean to denigrate secretarial work? Maybe. It seems that way. Certainly I took it that way. Whether or not you or anyone else are convinced of that? That’s on you.
