On the plus side, even if Ernie Hudson is on board, there's no fuckin' way anyone's going to get behind a Ghostbusters film without Egon or Venkman, and Bill Murray, by the sounds of things, wouldn't even condescend to wipe his rear end with a Ghostbusters 3 script.

Why do people even want a Ghostbusters 3? There's no way it would be even close to the first two in quality and we would only end up disappointed.

I've been wondering that myself for years. There are people who really want it and would always tell me I was dumb because I didn't want one. It would be like a Wayne's World 3.

Everyone wants sequels to everything they like. Our opinions must be backed up by massive media franshization. The larger the franchise the more correct our adulation of the individual elements is, and our enjoyment of it is more justified. Give me more of exactly what I liked but different. I need to consume it all until it bores me and I move on to the next one.

People hear the "franchise rights" line and think "Sequel potential! Expanded universe!" but Venkman was wrong. Without Shandor's building, the world of the Ghosbusters movie is just like ours: ghosts and goblins are so insubstantial and inconsequential that they're just myth. Campfire stories. Seattle and Orlando wouldn't have any ghosts to bust without a huge, superconducting antenna built for that exact purpose by an insane apocalyptic cult leader. Even when they relented and did a sequel, they clearly showed that it was five years between events. Not much to run a business on.

The props and the car would all be heavily redesigned, the original cast would be hardly in it if at all, the look of the movie would be completely different and jarring, New York itself is a different city, there'll be so many cheeky references and callbacks, and just blechhh... no thanks. If I want 800 more hours of Ghostbusters then I'll watch the Real Ghostbusters cartoon.

Yeah, the idea I kept coming back to was that they had to come out of retirement again for some reason, but they would be too old for it because well they're old, but they're the only ones that can do it. Sadly because they're too old they'd have to rely on their children or some other poo poo. Yeah, I'll stick with the Real Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters sequels don't work because there are massive consequences to the ending of part 1, which the official sequel understandably shied away from with its 'Ghostbusters go to jail' quick-fix reset. The basic story of Ghostbusters is a bunch of hacker nerds with near-useless college degrees establishing a tech startup in strict defiance of 'dickless' bureaucrats and the effeminate old-money rich. In that sense, Ghostbusters has a sequel in The Social Network. Their effort to 'clean up the city' is really a byproduct of their desire to exploit an untapped market. The ghosts are not a pressing concern; they're just a combination of vermin and homeless-person imagery. It's arguable, but in my opinion unlikely, that they'll ever learn their lesson and realize that the ghosts were caused by something - that simply eliminating the homeless won't fix the world. In that sense, Ghostbusters has a sequel in Pacific Rim and World War Z.

Much like a Kia made up to look like the Ecto-1 or an obese man wearing a Ghostbusters jumpsuit in the cafeteria of your community college, even the flimsiest attempt at recapturing the magic of childhood is better than the alternative.

The MSJ posted:I also found fan art of Janine transforming into a were-chicken, but then I realised that was The Real Ghostbusters fan art instead. It's not just that but the whole plot is essentially In The Mouths Of Madness: a horror writer manages to summon up his own creations which enslave him and others in their thrall. Edit: Also, I came across not fanart but concept art from the character designer of Extreme Ghostbusters (he actually did a lot of work, like the creature and mech designs for the Starship Troopers Roughnecks show). Egon was supposed to become some sort of ambassador to the ghost world and would make his return to lead the next generation of ghostbusters. So, I guess that happened in real life.
