Holtzmann

With the great Twitter exodus, I have to rescue my musing about the 2016 Ghostbusters and how I liked it more than a lot of folks did, but the thing I love was of course Kate McKinnon as Dr. Jillian Holtzmann. It is now unmistakable that we will never get another movie in the 2016 Ghostbusters continuity, which is fine — I think we should let the ghostbusters conceit go entirely — but that doesn’t mean we cannot have more Holtzmann. She could show up in all kinds of places.

Tell me an audience won’t go berserk for a cameo in just about any comedy.

Heck, you could shoehorn her into a lot of action movies. Holtzmann doesn’t make any less sense than anything else in the Fast & Furious universe, f’rinstance.

MacKinnon could have a side career playing cameos of Holtzmann forever, like Bebe Neuwirth does with Lilith. We would always be happy to see her.

C’mon Hollywood, take our money.

Holtzmann does not hate you 
 nor does she love you
 but you are made out of atoms
 which she can use for something else
