...more satisfying 1960 film of the same title. The older film had an interesting gimmick: Theater patrons were given “ghost viewer” goggles that enabled them to see (or not see) the spirits. Sadly, the remake reserves such highly useful goggles for the on-screen characters, thus forcing the audience to see every last bit of this forgettable film...
...It’s pretty interesting. As far as being on stage, you’re always touring around a lot. When you’re making movies, every tiny slight move you make gets picked up on-screen. So when you’re on-stage, you’re doing a lot bigger, dramatic motions...

...Archie Bunker burst on-screen snorting and bellowing about "spades" and "spics" and "that tribe." He decried miniskirts, "bleeding heart" churchmen, food he couldn't put ketchup on and sex during daytime hours. He bullied his "dingbat" wife Edith and bemoaned his "weepin' Nellie atheist" daughter Gloria. Above all, he clashed with his liberal, long-haired son-in-law Mike Stivic, a "Polack pinko meathead" living in the Bunker household while working his way through college...

The touch panel is fine for sending quick messages, but pushing the on-screen buttons is tedious for anything longer. And it has a short leash: airboarders can drift only 30 m from the base station, a distance that may be fine for Japan's rabbit-hutch homes but is too weak for many rambling American houses...
