This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Blockbuster Flops
---
It's summer and so it's the time for blockbusters. Not all of them end up successful so here's to them. My picks today are my latest watches.
Ghostbusters (2016)
Released in the summer of 2016, this new Ghostbusters wasn't able to win over audiences like the original. Though was the original Ghostbusters popular when it was released or was it only years after? I don't know. I actually don't remember much of the plot of the original Ghostbusters too...I haven't seen it in ages. Was it very childish? Because that was what I thought of the new Ghostbusters. That it was made for young audiences. Then there was the slime thing. Was that a thing in the original? Perhaps it was...and perhaps it worked then. But when I saw it in the new movie all it reminds me off is the Nickelodeon slime.
Baywatch (2017)
Ghostbusters (2016)

Baywatch (2017)
A 2017 release, but released slightly before summer. I actually used to watch the Baywatch TV series as a kid though I can't remember much now. Just that there were lifeguards running and saving people. I totally didn't remember the whole thing about the lifeguards acting like they're police officers and trying to investigate crimes that occur on their beach, which this movie tries to both replicate and make fun off though quite unsuccessfully. I know it's suppose to be funny like look at how silly everything is, but the humor just doesn't land and so it just ends up being very silly.
The Mummy (2017)
The Mummy (2017)
Released in the summer of 2017, this was supposed to be the first movie in the new Universal's monster series of movies, that I think includes Frankenstein, Dracula, etc...Some big actors had also been cast as the leads in the future followup movies and I vaguely remember they had all posed for some movie magazine (Vanity Fair?) piece. Well now that The Mummy flopped...it seems the other movies are no gos, at least I haven't read anything about them still being in the works. Anyway since I've finally seen The Mummy now, I can see why it wasn't popular. It's quite boring. The action wasn't very fun and neither was it scary for a monster movie.
