A Rant on Dan Aykroyd’s GHOSTBUSTERS 3 Movie Ideas

Hi there.
I’m going to warn you ahead of time that this is going to be a little different from other articles that I have written for the site. No Doctor Who, no Torchwood. No, this time I am going to comment on the Ghostbusters rumor that the delightful Dr. Venkman has already covered.
If you know me in real life, you know that I have a tendency to use foul language and since this is a family friendly site, I am going to use one word to replace what would be a curse during the course of this rant. If I am going to be naughty with my words, I shall say GOZER. Now we can begin..
Dan Aykroyd recently said in an interview that he would like to see the Ghostbusters team expand to 5 instead of 4 and 2 of them should be female. Now I love women. Oh do I, but who in the bloody GOZER thinks this is a good idea. I have a problem enough with the team going to 5 instead of 4, but adding women? I think women are just as equal as men. They deserve all the same treatment we do in every aspect. Every aspect save for two. There should never be a female Doctor Who and there shouldn’t be any female Ghostbusters.
One of the best things about the dynamic between Ray, Egon and Venkman was the fact that there was no one to really check Venkman’s ego. That’s what made it great in my opinion. Sure there was Dana to remind him he isn’t a ladies man, but she wasn’t part of the team. It may sound like I am rambling, but I don’t give a GOZER.
You like Eliza Dushku? Great. Go watch Dollhouse. It could use the viewers.
You like Alyssa Milano? Great. Who doesn’t?! Wanna see her? Go to a Dodgers game. We know Manny won’t be there.
As Ghostbusters? GOZER NO!
This is one of the only things left of my childhood that has yet to be raped and pillaged by someone out to make a buck. This time? It’s the creators. I’m starting to see why Bill Murray was against this early on.
Call me sentimental, but I want MY Ghostbusters. Ray, Egon, Venkman and to a somewhat lesser extent, Winston. If that can’t be done, just let sleeping dogs lie.

why only to a lesser extent winston? he was totally important to team dynamic
I think Wilson was the best. I say keep the original cast and ADD A female ghostbuster. I mean seriously, give it a try at least. Maybe try out a few webisodes like they did with G.I.JOE Reosulte. Now look, everybody loves the hell out of it. Just give time to get use too Venkman. Plus, what's so bad about Eliza Dushku in a Sexy ghostbusters outfit anyways?
Sexy ghostbusters outfit? I would be totally be into a female ghostbuster, but one who is just dorky and emotionally fragile and generally GOZERED up as the rest of the team. I don't want to see an unoriginal Barbied out sex object in tight coveralls one upping Venkman at every turn. I don't give a GOZER if she's a physicist, she's got to be a trainwreck for it to work…
…and
Winston WAS important to the team dynamic.

i 100% know where you are coming from. i would love nothing more then to see another ghostbusters film, but the fact of the matter is, no matter who is in it, or who wrote it, or who directed it, it will undoughtfilly turn out to be a pile of shit. Its a fact every movie they have brought back from the 80's and made a sequal to has bit the sh*t. seriously all of them rambo 4, terminator, i could go but im at work and time is precious. The only sequal to a 80"s franchise that was ever close to living up to the originals was live free and die and that was a stretch, boss is coming later .
