(Haven’t been back to FB yet). One nice thing I saw on the bird site was the new Ghostbusters trailer. It looks great. I love the way they’ve focused in on a bunch of misfit kids, Goonies style. I think the small town setting is a brilliant switch up. And even though the trailer is only a minute or so long, it gave me all the feels. |
