Also, to be fair, half the point of the Ecto-1 is that when you see it you're supposed to think "what the hell, that looks ancient and dumb, who would drive that"

Harold Ramis is dead and isn't writing or directing it so it'd going to suck no matter what, do not care.

Danny Ackroyd is actually still very optimistic that Ramis will star, act and direct the film, and is contacting him in the spirit realm as we speak.

"Bill Murray is on board too," Ackroyd was quoted, for the four hundredth time. When interviewed, Bill Murray simply walked into a store to buy an banner which read "Intervention."

yeah it does. a hearse is a bit too on the nose but whatever. the more i look at it, it's not terrible. but i miss the fins.

Too on the nose like the original being a converted hearse or ambulance? Cadillac didn't make regular civilian station wagons during the eras that either Ecto 1 was built and were built by outside companies for professional use.

Also, if the ectoplasm/panties scene happens, it will be a huge pro "fat is beautiful" deal.

It won't be funny because any real comedy would make the female audience they're targeting themselves towards get outraged on twitter.

I like Melissa McCarthy, but I do not have high hopes for the new Ghostbusters. They should just leave it alone and let the awesome movies be awesome instead of trying to capitalize on the franchise. There's no way this new one will be as good as the originals.

Paul Feig's other movies this whole decade, many of them starring Melissa McCarthy, are good, and I recommend watching them.

ghostbusters 2 gets a bad rap justifiably because it just resets the formula for 1, but it has some great, funny moments, like "why am i covered wit goo?" and lewis pronouncing mario "MAYrio."

Actually it's quite good and the scenes in the restaurant and in the psych ward are better than any scene from Gb1 and also Peter MacNicol is great.

Maybe if you weren't one of those awful nerds who gets pissy about sequels or whatever you could have fun instead of freebasing your own turds

i think it will be okay if the women in the movie feel good about themselves for being scientist ghost hunters, and friends who learned to stick together.

yeah, its sin is recycling all of the plot points from the first movie, but it still has the statue of liberty attack, the olllllllld dancing toaster trick, and lots of other great moments, with laughs for the whole family.

It's a better movie than most people get it credit for.

I have hope for the new Ghostbusters movie. Chris Hemsworth is playing the receptionist. I also hope they play Melissa McCarthy against type and have her be the Egon of the group.
