Open letter: Dear Sierra, don’t screw up Ghostbusters
Infendo writer Derek has a chip on his shoulder this evening in this open letter to Sierra. The subject? Ghostbusters, what else? Dear Sierra:I had to slap myself last week. You think I’m lying, but the swollen red hand-print across my face says otherwise. I’m also having a hard time chewing with that side of my mouth now, so my food is only being half-processed before I swallow, which...
