GB artbook

https://www.amazon.com/Ghostbusters-Artbook-Insight-Editions/dp/1683837274/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W28FJDJBXC3WTDRPQQR3

I can't believe how many folks have fallen for this pretentious gimmick.  The dozen give or take drawings I've seen from this book are sloppy or very random in nature.  The film's aesthetic was concise and grandiose.  Much of the film looks reminiscent of a painting when you take it apart.  In that respect it sounds like a no brainer that an artbook would compliment the film.  But what do you fill it with???  Genius art doesn't just magically appear when you say Ghostbusters three times.  You can't close your eyes and will it into existence.  So you end up with the crap that graces these pages.  Ug.
