Ghostbusters feels like a love letter written to all the girls out there who wondered why Arwen couldn’t go to Mordor, who cheered when Éowyn pulled off that helmet. It’s a love letter to all of us who gaped as Claire Dearing ran in heels through the entirety of Jurassic World, imagining the blood pumping out of her feet as she did. It’s a love letter to those of us who watched with raised eyebrows as Gamora’s fighting skills in Guardians of the Galaxy seemed to fluctuate depending on how good they wanted Peter Quill to look. It’s a love letter to we who watched The Avengers and asked why on earth Black Widow was wearing wedges. It’s a love letter to fans who watch bitterly as Jupiter Ascending is called plotless nonsense, while Kingsman is “boyish fun” and getting a sequel. This movie is a love letter to all of us who watched and wished we could see ourselves as the point man, the wise guy, the demolitions expert, anything but the goddamn lone squadette who inevitably ends up making out with the lead male even though they spent the movie sniping at each other.

In a shocking turn of events which surprises exactly no one, I have Feelings About Ghostbusters.

It was pretty great watching girls make raunchy jokes and kick ass while not looking like walking advertisements for their own cootches, while having a hot boy secretary in need of rescuing who’s only there to be eye-candy. Thank you, people who made this movie. It was everything I didn’t know I wanted.

Plus, AMEN about Jupiter Ascending vs. Kingsman. That is ON POINT.

This is pretty much my feelings about everything. (Also: HOLTZMANNNNN)

It’s a love letter to fans who watch bitterly as Jupiter Ascending is called plotless nonsense, while Kingsman is “boyish fun” and getting a sequel.

GODDAMN, THANK YOUUUUUUUUU.
