Mr. Plinkett's Ghostbusters 2016 Review (2017 Video)

Mike Stoklasa: Mr. Plinkett

Quotes 

• Mr. Plinkett : [about director Paul Feig]  He was kinda like a grade school teacher in charge of a children's play. Isn't it cute that the show's gone amuck, and that the little kids are doing whatever the fuck they want? Ghostbusters shouldn't be a grade school play filled with adults making jokes about poo.

• Mr. Plinkett : [referring to the fact that, in a movie with heavy product placement, the characters are consuming an unspecified drink]  Hey, wait... shouldn't these be Coca-Colas? Who's doing the product placement in this film, they should be fired! Oh, wait... I know why they aren't Cokes. It's because Papa Johns serves Pepsi products. Having them drink Coke in this scene would be a conflict of corporate interest. Aren't movies magical, kids?

• Mr. Plinkett : Ghostbusters 2016 is quite possibly the worst film ever made. Now, I know I say that a lot, but this time I mean it.

• Mr. Plinkett : The movie's fatal flaw is that it's an overstuffed turkey. You can overstuff a Judd Apatow-style ad-libbed comedy, but a science-fiction-based comedy needs to be precise, just like science itself.

• Mr. Plinkett : It's amazing just how wrong this film is. It's like putting a Jackson Pollock painting in an art gallery during a realism exhibit. If that reference is too cerebral for you, then it's like saying poo is pee.

• Mr. Plinkett : Do you get it now? Do you get it, PAUL FEIG?

• [repeated line] 

  Mr. Plinkett : Stop dancing!

• Mr. Plinkett : The proton pack is very similar to the lightsaber, wheren it's a tool to be used in service of the story, not a story element unto itself. It's essentially a joke. The Ghostbusters don't know what they're doing, or didn't know what they were capable of creating.

• Mr. Plinkett : This is a double-edged sword, as we say in the underground serial killer's industry.

• [regarding Melissa McCarthy] 

  Mr. Plinkett : FUCK YOU, FATSO!

• [listening to Paul Feig and Katie Dippold misinterpreting an improvised song from Kate McKinnon] 

  Mr. Plinkett : Oh, it's just a song from a little movie you may have heard of called... THE WIZARD OF OZ!

• Mr. Plinkett : I actually did enjoy "Spy". I didn't see "The Heat" though. I thought it was another commercial trying to sell me a convection oven.
