first of all, bobby brown’s “on our own” is one of the best songs ever made. anyone who thinks differently needs to either get:

1. a clue.
2. a punch in the face.
3. bent.

in addition, it’s the theme to ghostbusters 2, a film in which the statue of liberty walks via a nintendo controller and goo. amazing. so, what’s my problem?

the music video. for the song. is terrible. the parade of cameos is great: rick moranis, donald trump, christopher fucking reeves. bobby brown is in top form: he’s dancing, rapping, and hip-hopping (he’s a triple threat). again, this is one of the best songs of all time. but in a movie filled with action, such as ghosts running amok in new york city, all the dancing and fun in the video is confined to tiny fake video windows inside still landscapes. it’s like a train wreck between an awesome 90’s hip-hop clip and a boring art film, where you see a still-life video of a tireyard that plays on a 40 minute loop. ghaa!

how could this happen? shouldn’t bobby brown be fighting ghosts? or singing with ghosts? or doing something — anything! — with GHOSTS!! i’m bored watching the music video to one of my favorite songs. it’s more disappointing than re-watching camp candy and realizing how terrible it was.

ugh. i’d write to someone and complain, but who’d still listen? bobby brown is pretty much dead… i guess i could write to bill murray and cc dan aykroyd and harold ramis. but i like those guys, so i don’t blame them. god. no one takes any responsibility anymore.
