Feels like every six months, I need to take a moment and question the need for an intended sequel. And right on cue comes this week’s news… First of all, Hollywood has been all a-tither with the prospect of a third Ghostbusters movie. Why? Someone please tell me who the heck this one is intended…
Let’s Hear It For The Boy
Yes, that’s right. I just used a song by Deniece Williams for my post title. Make of that what you will.
