WARNING: SPOILERS. HAPPENING. BELOW. DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.

Of course I've seen bits and pieces of it throughout the years, it's the kind of movie they showed on TV all the time when I was growing up, but I've never actually watched it. I don't even remember any "clips" from it TBH.
Am I making a mistake? Should I not watch this? Lol, it seems like a huge deal. I heard someone talking about it a couple weeks ago and I was like "Yup, it's time to watch that movie."
But I don't really like love story movies cuz I think love is stupid, so I'm sure it's gonna hit different for me just because of that. It's like trying to get the Grinch to watch The Santa Claus or something.
I've also never really vibed with Demi Moore all that much. Same with Swayze, although I can admit that obviously the dude was hot as fuck, it's never been enough to make me wanna watch anything he was in.
Here we are though and I gotta tell you, I cannot stop talking during movies even when I'm alone. I just cannot stop talking. I love it. I enjoy it. I'm glad I'm alone.
I don't really intend this to be one of my typical review & commentary threads. I'm just documenting my experience of watching it more than anything else. We'll see how it goes.
Right off the bat I will say though, I can just feel the sort of "anti me" vibes of this movie, it just doesn't seem like my kinda shit at all. Even though it's literally called "Ghost" and it's apparently about ghost(s), I still don't feel like it's gonna click.
All I really know about it going in is that bro dies. That's it. And TBH, after this opening elevator scene, I think BOTH these guys deserve to die. So there's that.
I also think they're kinda gay for each other, and Sam (Swayze's character) kinda seems like a manwhore. Is he supposed to be super likable??
How does he even die? 7:19 does this huge angel statue fall on him or something?? How are they gonna endear us to his character if he dies so soon in the movie?? Cuz I don't even like him yet.
7:54 why do I feel like these two being a couple isn't even realistic? The only thing they're succeeding at with this story so far is making you want to fuck Sam even though he's kind of a douche.
Carl (Goldwyn) is hot as fuck though, he's just as fuckable as Swayze. Is he gonna be a regular character even after Sam dies? Is it cuz they needed to have another hot dude in the movie just in case chicks are weirded out by lusting after a dead dude's ghost? I don't get why they'd have this kinda competition featured in a major role otherwise.
8:17 dude, Tony Goldwyn is coming off as WAY hotter than Swayze in this movie, this is fucked up. Why is this guy in the movie???
8:30 yo what is this ugly crap this chick is bringing into their apartment? Is she an artist or something? It looks like the fakest tree stump ever.
8:44 oh what, you can bring in all your uglyass sculptures but the man can't have his beloved aesthetically acceptable looking recliner?? She is gonna piss me off. She's unlikable, Sam is kind of obnoxious, and his friend is a douche too but at least he's over the top sexy. What is there to like about any of these characters??
8:52 she just called the chair ugly and said it doesn't go with anything. Clearly they are TRYING to make us dislike her character and think she sucks. It's too bad she's not the one who dies. Trying to take away a man's chair?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Well whether he's kind of a douche or not, she certainly doesn't deserve him. Not a fan.
9:04 yo I actually think this chick's got problems.
9:22 God, she's kinda naggy too. What the hell do these two see in each other?? Especially what does he see in her?? I don't get it and like I said, it's not even believable. And the idea that he's gonna come back and haunt HER ass?? Please. He'd be sooner going back to haunt his high school sweetheart or something.
10:27 "Ditto" okay I remember that being a buzzword around this movie for some reason. I guess it's a thing he says a lot or something.
10:55 what the fuck. What if he really does die in a plane crash though? But in all seriousness, I think I remember that some dudes killed him, maybe like some gang shit or some kinda high profile criminal dudes or something.
11:27 okay she needs to stick to sculpting jars cuz those actually look pretty good.
12:10 I didn't know Unchained Melody was associated with this movie. This is prolly why the song had such a huge comeback. I could see any scene using it later being a tear jerker, but considering the fact that I don't even like these characters so far, I'm doubting it's gonna affect me.
12:34 this lady seems like a drag over all. If I woke up and this song was playing and she was out there sculpting some big weird jar, I'd just turn around and get back in bed.
13:33 this scene looks like they're both stroking a huge sloppy penis together. I mean I guess that's the whole idea but yeah it's just kind of... again, not really my shit. I've never tried sculpting. I can see how it'd be sorta relaxing I guess. Seems kinda messy.
*increases to 3x speed for obvious upcoming sex scene*
When it's over, I think I'm gonna go back down to like 1.2x just to speed this whole thing up a little.
16:22 ahhh, so this is what gets him killed. It's like a bigwig mafia thing or something.
17:02 yo I think his pal Carl totally wants to fuck Molly. They should have a threesome. I'd speed through that scene on 4x.
17:28 oh maybe he gets killed by some rando thugs in the street. This is kinda intriguing cuz you go into this movie knowing he's gonna die, it's just the question of HOW he dies. Even when the movie was first released, everybody knew that was the plot going in. They've teased us several times at this point.
18:11 he's so much more likable than she is, and he's not even all that likable.
18:33 why is SHE proposing to HIM?? I can tell he's like immediately turned off. It's super... I dunno, masculine.
19:13 so he always says ditto in response to "I love you" and that's the inside thingy between them. I know this comes into play later, and this is prolly honest to God one of the only things I actually remember about this movie. I know Whoopi is a psychic in this movie, so I bet she says it.
I'm watching on 1.4x.
19:33 ah okay, here we go. It's some rando street bum.
21:00 oh WHOOOOAAAAA. That was a trip. I gotta hand it to 'em. I really do. That was impressive.
Okay fine, I'll go back down to 1.2 speed.
22:00 oh bro, this dude's in a bad trip now.
24:20 there are other ghosts, that's pretty cool. I was wondering if there'd be any.
29:38 wow, so Carl really is moving in on his woman for real. I knew it. Now his ghost is gonna have to watch them consolation bang. Awkward. Is he gonna try to interrupt??
34:06 figures cats are still the best animals even when you're dead.
37:40 here's my thing, why is he so obsessed with this chick now that the whole world is his oyster? Like yeah, he's dead, but he can still ride public transport and shit like that, I mean he could go ANYWHERE. He could watch chicks undress in their rooms and all kinds of shit. The sky's the limit for real. I'd be moving along and enjoying the freedom.
40:07 Whoopi really is a great actress, it's too bad she's such a mind rotted leftie.
43:55 oh, that was actually fucking hilarious.
46:50 this is the most likable his character has ever been. I'm digging her purple onesie PJs though.
54:45 clearly this Carl guy is in on it.
57:17 this guy is gonna walk up there and be like, "Yo, they're onto us." I know it. Sam's gonna be shocked. And honestly, I don't think I even know that cuz I've seen it before, I think it's just a logical guess. Regardless, this Carl guy is WAY less hot now.
59:10 I can't believe this guy had his friend killed for $80k, that's a pissweak amount of money even without inflation.
1:02:40 dude all of Whoopi's outfits are poppin' in these mugshots, lmfao.
1:06:50 why hasn't Sam gone back to psychic lady to tell her to warn Molly about Carl?
1:08:20 if he sees them bang, will he move on from Molly and go be a peeping Tom on a bunch of random super hot chicks?? Cuz that's what I'd do.
1:09:07 great, so now Carl knows he's gonna have to kill her too.
1:10:45 yo this is so fucked.
1:11:30 Sam, bro, sick the cat on him. DO SOMETHING.
1:11:44 oh that'll do it!
1:13:38 so this honestly may be the most interesting part of the movie. He's going to this pissed off train ghost guy to see if he can learn how to move objects or something.
1:14:47 this guy is definitely the best character in the whole movie, lmao. Wonder how long he's been dead in order to learn this?? Good shit. It actually kinda makes sense too.
1:16:17 lol, see even he wants to know how long this guy's been dead.
1:17:40 hell yeah, now it's time to go fuck some shit up! Man this movie was a real sleeper, but once it got good, it really got good.
1:43:50 that was actually pretty scary, TBH.
1:46:20 oh lookit, he's moving a penny up the door to WHERE A FUCKING PEEPHOLE SHOULD BE. WHO DOESN'T HAVE A FUCKING PEEPHOLE??!??!?!?!?!
1:47:30 "just wait" my ass, I'd be getting the fuck out of there.
1:48:15 with the way he was knocking those dudes around, he could definitely stick his dick in her, let's be real.
1:49:15 whoa, this is kinda kinky though!?!
1:55:44 listen, if he can move that huge metal thing, he can DEFINITELY lay down some dick. I think that's all anybody really cares about. Just the ability to lay some pipe. This could be so great. It's a missed opportunity to explore a really exciting plotline.
Interesting ending, always a bunch of people waiting to take you to the afterlife. That seems to be a theme in a lot of NDEs too, whether it's old family members or Jesus or whoever. In some cases it's just the light or consciousness and there aren't any other beings, but usually there's a being of some sort.
It was a good movie and I definitely hadn't seen it before. I recognized maybe like 30 seconds of it altogether, the rest was totally new to me. I'm glad I finally watched it.
