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.
