Peter Venkman posted:Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time. I've easily seen it a hundred times. This post is really old, but deal with it. I honestly don't think, as a team and serious business venture, they would make it without Peter. He was the wheel and deal guy that did all the dirty legal and political work. Granted the other two brought the science, Peter is the guy that made it all come together and work My fav scene in the whole thing is the first time they send out Ecto-1, from the doors opening to roll it out to them showing up at the hotel

^ Murray was already pushing from the beginning of GB2 to make that the final movie. They should have stopped at GB1. The only thing I really enjoyed in the second was Lady Liberty walking and the Titanic arriving.Mr. Flunchy posted:The best we can hope for is that they don't make another film. Murray doesn't come across as a bitter guy, just as someone who quite rightly understands that a new Ghostbusters would most likely be awful. This, right here. Hollywood has managed to lance and kill just about every remake of every movie they've done with few exceptions. I see a new GB movie going the way of GIJOE. It'll be a movie (very) loosely based on the original (ie "we used the same character names at some point!") full of Michael Bay explosions, futuristic looking crap and CGI junk. It won't have any character to it and be purely flat like a 2 week old uncapped bottle of soda. SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Sep 2, 2013 |

Basebf555 posted:There's a pretty good episode of The Real Ghostbusters where Slimer ends up accidentally inside the containment unit and they have to figure out a way to find him and get him out. Its interesting because the Ghostbusters clearly realize its not a fun place to be for a ghost, but the only ghost they give a poo poo about is Slimer. Well yeah, and why not? All the ghosts but Slimer were rear end in a top hat villains. Why would they give a poo poo about any of them except the comedy relief?

Timby posted:The weirdest part is in the interview Reitman gave about him backing out of directing GB3, he says that Ramis got sick three years ago and they kept hoping he'd get better enough to do the movie. That just feels ghoulish ... like, couldn't they have just told Ramis to enjoy his few remaining years? I don't know if that's what they honestly believed was going to happen. He had near recovered once and then relapsed. Perhaps they thought he'd get better enough again instead of living only another 3 years

I will say I'm glad they grabbed Moranis for the part of Lewis, I don't think Candy could have even pulled that part off as good. I mean all I can picture is a forced try to be funny like his part in Home Alone where he says/does something lame and makes that laugh while everyone both in the movie and watching the movie roll their eyes. I think even going with Murphy would have devolved the movie into some goofy stupid comedy. The very fact they gathered the cast they did made this movie great. and this was fracking awesome, even now I still want that car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ38lNWi1jo

Yeah, it's already been mentioned that the second was just a repeat of the first with a different end boss. When I first saw it in a theater in Caseville, the first thing I thought when everyone was denying ghosts existed was "What the gently caress? Ghosts terrorize New York for some decent amount of time, huge marshmallow man, and now people act like it didn't happen?" The best part was when the kids screamed "He-Man". That show was terribly outdated when the movie debuted

Alan_Shore posted:Ghostbusters is my absolute favourite film. That said, I'm totally on board with a third one helmed by the guys who did 21 Jump Street. It will suck badly. The hard part will always be keeping with the original while trying to do things in modern time. Quite frankly without the cast that the movie stumbled on, it wouldn't have been near as good as it was. That's going to be like aligning planets at a certain time to do it again

Once the big evil mojo was shut down, ghosts suddenly stopped being a regularly occurring things and the Ghostbusters kind of faded into obscurity.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:This is the version I grew up with. It was taped when I was six by my parents one night, and they missed the beginning. While I had seen the whole movie a few times by then, I went years and years having not watched the opening part with Alice that much, despite how often I saw the rest of the movie. There was also "What a knockabout-great fun THAT was!" when Peter emerges from the ballroom. Also, I'm pretty sure they cut out the ghost sex. Ghost sex never made it anyways. Closest it gets is Ray's pants being opened and him going crosseyed Unfortunately the commercial thing covers every movie that was ever recorded from TV (ie all of them during the VHS era)

I never expected it to be better, I expected it to be around as good as, which it failed. The whole project's been on hold for so long it's basically pointless to continue pushing for another sequel just to find something lame with flashy CGI that everyone in Hollywood seems to spank over. If people want another movie so bad, remake the original to get it more modern.

From what I remember as a kid, Winston just wasn't that connectable. Yeah, sure, he had some good lines and scenes, but he was just that guy that would speak up every now and again while the other three were the action, comedy, focus of the movie. It's not till you get older you start to appreciate his place more than the token 80's black guy. It's really a shame they couldn't have just changed his background a bit and stuck him in early. I still find the idea of one of them being military to be a bit hard to fit though.

^Actually if you were paying attention it was more Murray holding things up than anyone, and that it looks like you'll get exactly what you want, a complete removal of the originals to "let someone else wear the packs". I'm afraid I don't agree though that I'll take anything, even poo poo, as long as it's more. I want quality over quantity when it comes to a good movie and its successors. Making a good movie only to drop turds after just makes it look like a figurative Winston Zedmore; "As long as there's a paycheck in it, I'll do whatever you want".NarkyBark posted:Adding him in at that point in the story emphasizes that they've become real busy and need more hands to help with the bustin'.

WeX Majors posted:But why do people still assume that this is gonna be poo poo, therefore, anyone who wants this movie just wants more poo poo? I get that feeling because everything now days is flashy blurred light effects mega explosions. Ghostbusters was simple and the effects did their job. The cast was a stumble to get and worked perfect. Now you're gonna get a shitload of effects that over sell it, a cast that likely won't hit it just right, and from the latest news posted here, we're going for an all woman cast which you know is gonna end up like Simpson's role in the Dukes of Hazzard movie (which sucked hard too)

In Michigan the law is, or it was a few years ago that there's nothing about lights and sirens on your vehicle, you're perfectly ok, When you turn any of them on is when you've broken the law. My old work truck had a blue light bar and a siren/PA system in it, never had issues with the cops and wasn't registered any special way almost forgot, we even have a small club of people around the area that own retired police cars that are fully outrigged with no special permits including one that has the last 80's state trooper Mustang. Even managed to get a new door seal afterwards because the door had been replaced during service, and so I've heard, the state cops issue two logos per vehicle only. If one is damaged or removed it never gets replaced. He had some funny stories about the group going to Canada once and the authorities there went ape poo poo over the police cruisers crossing over. Everything from early 90's Crown Vics all the way back to a couple 50's era Chevys. SocketWrench fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Jan 18, 2015 |

It does get hugely tiring though when this is the default response to any criticisms to the movie. I'm concerned it's going to be a lukewarm movie when it's done. I really hope it isn't, I want it to be big, but I'm not seeing a lot that gets me excited about it. Apparently that makes me a sexist rear end in a top hat.
