Ghostbusters -- new Ghostbusters -- have to come and solve the problem."

UPDATE:
Based on the poll results, I'll return to the old method of posting the movie/tv news probably next week.
To repeat/clarify why I changed posting methods, the movie/tv news was also posted on other message boards. On one of them, it was the #1 most popular thread for years and some jealous posters tried to shut it down by flooding it with bogus posts. They repeated the hijacking the movie/tv news on another board. I shut the movie/tv news down to prevent the hijackers from starting it on FSM.
Because many posters wanted the m/tvn to return, I changed posting formats, etc. so the hijackers would have difficulty in finding it.
as it's been over 100 days, as far as I know, they haven't found it yet, so hopefully the return to the old format works out.
As for the hijackers, I tracked some of them down. One of the leaders is in IT support. Another leader has been banned many times on other boards for constantly attacking other posters and for posting frequently about his hatred of blacks, Jews, gays, hispanics, et al. Ironically, he hides behind many aliases because he is a lawyer and a public official.

Personally, I'm waiting for him to apologize for Cowboys & Aliens.

This is a good idea. Not the premise, putting Amy Adams, Scarlett Johansson and Olivia Wilde in the same movie.

Thanks for doing what you do, even with the issues of the trolling/hijacking asshats.

Couldn't have said it better myself (even if I could talk).

FRIDAY, MAY 24
NOW YOU SEE ME---Morgan Freeman fell asleep during a tv interview promoting the movie while co-star Michael Caine explained magic tricks used in the movie. Freeman commented tongue-in-cheek, "I wasn't actually sleeping. I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids. I was merely updating my Facebook page." The movie involves a high-tech group of magicians who pull off a heist on another continent while they're performing their magic show. An FBI agent and a magic debunker team up to catch the crooks. Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher also star.
STAR WARS: EPISODE VII---writer Damon Lindelof (LOST, PROMETHEUS, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS) commented on his close association with JJ Abrams but not being involved with Abrams and EPISODE VII, "When the news broke that Disney was going to do it, people were already tweeting, 'Just keep Damon Lindelof away from it.'. When I saw that, I started realizing that it would be a lose-lose for me in every way shape or form....I didn't know whether or not I wanted to be involved, but I did know that no one wanted me to be involved." Lindelof incurred fan wrath for his controversial ending for LOST.
Lindelof added he might be involved in later Star Wars movies, "The good news was it feels like Disney is going to own Star Wars for a very long time. Hopefully I'll be writing for a couple more years, if not seven, maybe eight or nine. That what I started telling myself."
RETURN TO SENDER---Rosamund Pike (JACK REACHER, DIE ANOTHER DAY), Nick Nolte (48 HRS.) and Shiloh Fernandez (EVIL DEAD) star in this thriller movie about a nurse who goes on a blind date which changes her life forever.
THE AVENGERS 2---Saoirse Ronan commented on rumors she will play Scarlet Witch in the sequel, "I have heard about it and yes, I would. Yeah, of course I would. I love Joss [Whedon]and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes. I think it’s very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I’d love to be in it.”
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST---Evan Peters (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) will play Quicksilver.
THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM WOMEN WHO'VE DUMPED ME---MGM movie underway based on the anthology which includes authors Steven Colbert, Andy Richter and Patton Oswalt.
