![]() He’s got a weird Mickey Rourke aura - filthy sex and sleaze. He just glistens like he’s just finished some really stinky McConaughfuck. What is up with that dude? Why does he always glisten? He’s not sweaty in Ghosts, and it’s not oily skin exactly. Just overly processed and really fucking shiny. It’s empty, full of itself, and kind of tedious, but it’s not painful. It’s a lot like a Fray song or Snow Patrol (or are they the same band?) - corporately manufactured and sanitized, but it hits all the big notes - pounds on them, in fact. For comparison’s sake, The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is a little over an hour and a half. The Dark Knight, for instance, was two-and-a-half hours, yet I managed to avoid the restroom all together. There was a time, in fact, when I considered designing a grading system for reviews around how many trips I made to the loo. The better the movie, the less often I visit the restroom. I don’t know that it’s TBS (tiny bladder syndrome), so much as it’s just a hypersensitive bladder, though one that can be easily distracted. Depending on the movie, I’m a frequent restroom visitor. Here’s another completely uninteresting fact about me. I don’t really know why this is: I’m six foot tall, so I in no way need to use the short person’s urinal. And it is this: If a restroom is completely empty, I will inexplicably use the urinal lower to the ground - the one designed for short people and adolescents. It’s a very fascinating self-realization. The worst is we were required to wear masks so we have trouble hearing one another without the ability to watch mouths when we all speak so we were just trying not to miss out on any conversation, including that of our guide.I learned something new about myself during Ghosts of Girlfriends Past today. Take a similar tour but I don’t recommend this one because this guide with THIS COMPANY was awful. I travel a lot and really like these tours and it’s not that hard to encompass the “group” as a whole and be flexible to make it fun and comfortable for everyone. No disrespect to the Tour itself or the other guides but this guy seemed miserable and appeared to resent being there. He appeared to hate his job and seemed to just want to hurry and get it over with. We’re in our 50’s, having fun but no way would we have been out of control or disrespectful to others on the bus. ![]() Left us in a strange city with nothing open around us. He not only decided to ask us to get off the tour but he raised his hands in the air enlisted the group on the bus to clap as he kicked us off. had girlfriends from West Coast, SO excited to do the tour and it was taking a few minutes to get settled. No “where’s everyone from”, anyone done this before”, etc. ![]() We get on bus and first thing he says: “this is a talking tour, and I’ll be the only one doing the talking.” None of that was because of the guide tho. However, the experience we had previously was better overall and I think having this comparision made this tour feel lacking. We enjoyed it, and if you have never been on a ghost tour it would be worth it. It just was shorter, and less involved than when we went a few years ago. ![]() We got the impression that it is now a "fit as many people in with as many tours as possible each night" kind of thing. This time we did go into the Ripley musuem which was new, but the tour seemed shorter. However, we took this tour a few years ago and enjoyed it more. Our son got spooked during the old jail part, and he stayed with us under the street light chatting to keep him distracted, and even took us to the water fountain so he could get a drink. He stated he was new, but did a great job with information, making it personal, and going above and beyond. ![]()
