Reminds me of the time I realized "Go get her, Ray!" was a callback to "GET HER!" I wondered how I missed it on my first hundred viewings.

I finally sussed that one out a few months ago when I was watching it with my father-in-law (I watch it about once a month, and I had never picked up on that), but the Louis / Keymaster thing just loving blew my mind.

Yeah, I finally got the 'GET HER' thing at some point last year too, but not the Keymaster bit. The commentary is right, Ghostbusters is a perfectly told joke.

The_Doctor posted:Ghostbusters is a perfectly told joke. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. I really like when they arrive in Dana's apartment building, and Egon's entire reaction to being in a structure specifically constructed using what was at the time super technology by a mad man to bring about the end of the world is "art deco. very nice." Also that when he's first inspecting Vince he sees the dog monster on the monitor and just casually turns it off with a barely suppressed look of horror on his face. Basically Egon is secretly the best character.

Honest Thief posted:I'm not seeing, where and who says "Get her"? On the roof of Dana's building, when they first see Gozer, Venkman yells "GO GET 'ER RAY!" and gives him a smug little look while Ray slowly looks over at him with a look that says "you... you dick." Which implies that ever since Ray yelled "Get Her!" in the library at the start, Venkman occasionally makes fun of him for it, and even now in the face of literal Armageddon Venkman is still ribbing Ray.

My favorite interpretation of a scene is when Venkman goes to see Dana who's been possessed by Zuul. The only way he gets into her place is by telling her he's the Keymaster. She leads him to the bedroom, she floats above the covers and all that-- then we cut back to the scene later. The bedroom is in complete shambles, Venkman's disheveled, Zuul is passed out on the bed. Venkman mentions using a ridiculous amount of Thorazine on her. . . But Venkman's not a psychiatrist. He can't prescribe medication and wouldn't have access to thorazine. Venkman had to bang his way out of the situation.

I don't think of any that would stop a man like Peter Venkman in that occupation from carrying around large amounts of thorazine, just in case.

I think the implication that he'd have that much thorazine on his person when going on a date is worse then him just flat out sleeping with Zuul, but that's just me.

I guess I just don't like that interpretation, just because while Venkman is mildly skeezy and does approach science as a dodge, or a hustle, I don't see him taking advantage of Dana that way. I've always rationalized it by thinking that either Egon or Ray (probably Egon) made sure that the rest of the team carried some stuff in their utility belts (or whatever). "Venkman nails Dana to calm her down" feels very wrong to me.

She's got him cornered at the end of the scene and everything. I'm not saying I can't see it from the more innocent angle, and the more innocent angle plays up the uh, beauty of their first kiss during the credits-- but knowing where Aykroyd and Ramis were creatively at the time (blowjob ghost at the fort) I don't think its out of the realm of possibility that Venkman nailed Zuul. I'll meet you guys halfway. Zuul realized he wasn't the Keymaster and lost interest.

Dana and Lewis didn't do it, the Keymaster and Gatekeeper of Gozer did it while possessing their bodies. In a setting where possession exists, you have to keep the mind/body dichotomy in mind.

Wait, wait... Sorry, I had a brainfart there and read "Dana" and thought "Jeanine". I thought you were talking about part 2. I was trying to say Dana seemed okay with Louis and Jeanine getting it on in front of the baby. I'm an idiot.

No new cunning observation, but I always laugh out loud at the way Murray walks in on the dean and delivers the line "I trust you're moving us to better quarters on campus." He knows what's going on. He just wants to be a dick.

Ivan Reitman is now saying that he has a completed 'Ghostbusters 3' script, which has roles for all of the previous characters in it, plus the new ones. He shot down a lot of casting rumors, saying that everything he had seen on the Internet previously was false. He mentioned that he had no idea how long it might take to get Bill Murray to read the script, but that rumors he didn't like the script were false. http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/reitman-says-hes-ready-call-ghostbusters-3-23761

I'd love a TV series about a franchised Ghostbuster team in some other city. Get some versatile comedy actors, a good writing team, Reitman as EP, you're good to go. e: okay maybe that's not as easy as it sounded when I typed it Captain Corduroy fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jan 10, 2011 |

I'd like something like this too. Let us follow a new start up franchise across the country. A buncha rookies, the occasional cameo. Some drama, more humor. Eventually have it run into the ground, turns into a teen drama, producers turn it around in 4th season, show is immediately canceled, we all feel kinda dirty. This is my dream.
