I've seen very little of the stuff the main cast has been in, but I've seen a lot of Chatles Dance. I watch a lot of movies purely because a random character actor is in it. This has not always been a wise investment of my time.

Pft, if they ever put Shandor into a movie, just cast Paul Reubens like they originally planned. Pee Wee hasn't aged in 30 years so he's still good for it.

So I noticed a couple of things in the trailer. First of all, I didn't realize that the thing floating toward Patty in the subway tunnel is actually a pair of feet that appear to be strapped into an electric chair:  Then I noticed something super cool that I don't think anyone has pointed out yet! In the scene where Holtzman is showing them that big laser contraption, notice one of the monitors in the background:  Hmm... ENHANCE!!!  Correct me if I'm wrong but that appears to say: quote:RECENT INVESTIGATIONS And yes, before you ask, I've spent entirely too much time watching/giffing that preview. I am excited for this movie. Edit: Oh one more thing! In that same scene it looks like you can see the cover for that book rumors have been mentioning over and over.  It's blurry as hell so this is just speculation obviously, but that looks like Gilbert and Yates, and aren't they the ones rumored to have had some drama over a book? This may lend some credence to that. Edit2: Oh man I keep finding more stuff! So what's behind the door Kevin kicks open?  Looks like something big and important. Perhaps some sort of unit that contains/attracts ghosts? You may also notice in that scene that he has apparently taken down a couple of what appears to be police officers or security guards to get to that door...  Edit3: Oh my god how many edits will there be? Turns out, for one frame you can actually see a face in the ghost that pops out of the sink and possesses Yates.

xezton posted:I wonder if Patty is a "reject" from a family of wealthy funeral home owners (evidenced by the condition of the hearse) who always thought she would amount to nothing, and when she approached them to borrow the hearse they just gave it to her, spat on her shoes, and said "I wipe my rear end with multiple hearses every time I take a poo poo. Just take it, you street swine. You'll never live up to the Tolan name." And her story is trying to prove to them that she can succeed in the death business... even if the aspect she succeeds at is busting their ghosts? I'm quoting myself only because mr. reddit guy just updated his post with more details that are making him seem more and more legit (some of the stuff he added goes right along with the new things I spotted in the trailer in my post above!). And guess what? If he's right, I totally called this...

Yep, that would be Rowan's machine for opening a portal/amplifying psychoknetic energy/attracting ghosts to NY. At this point in the movie he's possessing Hemsworth after Jones slapped him out of McCarthy's character.

While I appear to be on a mini posting spree (I think I've posted in this thread more than I've posted on SA as a whole at this point), upon seeing the mention of Vinz Clortho I got to thinking about one of my favorite lines from the original film:Vinz Clortho posted:Gozer the Traveller, he will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveller came as a large and moving Torb! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex Supplicants they chose a new form for him... that of a Giant Sloar! many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you. I'm going to completely  nerd out here so if you're not in the mood to read the blubbering nonsense of a fan please skip right along!I think many viewers might have brushed this quote off initially as random ectobabble. And honestly it does sound that way, but when you think about it, assuming that everything he's saying is true in the GB universe, the implications of this one quote are kind of mind-blowing, even in a setting where ghosts are real. The Vuldronaii and the Meketrex Supplicants are never given any description, but that's okay because they are either aliens or beings in a completely different dimension, and therefore we might not even be able to comprehend them. Regardless of where they exist, or what they are, one thing ties them to humans from Earth: Gozer worshipers. Without those, Gozer never would have traveled to and destroyed their worlds. This brings up the question of a chicken and egg scenario regarding Gozer and its worshipers, as well. Which came first? Does Gozer only exist because beings from multiple worlds/dimensions believe in it? Or... did it previously visit those worlds thus cementing their faith? As far as we know the only way Gozer can travel to a world is with some voluntary summoning mechanism from its inhabitants, so it seems the former would be the case. But how did the first worshipers know to worship it in the first place? Well, in the video game (which I think we can all agree at this point is cannon) it is mentioned that Gozer was banished from our dimension by a different deity (Tiamat), so it must not have always been the case that it required an elaborate summoning ritual to allow it to visit. So that means Gozer used to be just a regular old, run of the mill, house brand deity that influenced beings from multiple worlds/dimensions. That also means that the entire reason Gozer was banished from our world, and thus the reason Gozer became enraged and began travelling to other worlds and destroying them in the first place, was because some of our ancestors lost a war in its name. Humans from Earth are the reason multiple entire civilizations were utterly decimated by Gozer. Let that sink in for a minute... On top of that, the only thing we know about those unfortunate beings are the names of their destructors... a large and moving Torb, and a Giant Sloar. Just like what happened in New York City, the Vuldronaii and Meketrex Supplicants summoned Gozer to their world (for one reason or another), and shortly after it appeared, it told them to choose the form of their destructor. Obviously those worlds didn't have anything remotely analogous to the Ghostbusters, so they were likely scared shitless and thought of the most frightening things that existed in their worlds. Thanks, once again, to the video game, we now have an idea of what a Giant Sloar looks like, and know how incredibly frightening it must have been to have one of those rampaging across your planet, eating everyone you know, and slowly roasting them it its stomach. But what about the Torb? All we know is that Vinz Clortho felt the need to specify that it was "large" and "moving". This implies that a "normal" Torb is likely not very large, and is stationary. There really is no way to know, but I always pictured the Torb as looking something like Ramiel from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. A giant crystalline entity that slowly floats around blowin' poo poo up. This all comes back around to when the Ghostbusters finally meet Gozer and are posed with the choice of how it will manifest on and destroy Earth. Knowing the history of Gozer, based on that single quote from Vinz Clortho, makes what happens all the more hilarious and absurd. This destroyer of worlds that had already apparently wiped out multiple civilizations while in the form of their most dreaded and destructive fears, finally makes it back to the planet it was banished from, to the beings it probably wanted to destroy the most out of revenge for their ineptitude....... ....was now a delightful sugary treat. Anyway, none of this is new information or anything. I've just always liked how that one quote from Rick Moranis in the movie can completely change the way we look at Gozer. It gives a little bit of depth to the antagonist, and even provides enough clues about its history to tell us just exactly what kind of poo poo the Ghostbusters are dealing with. It kinda makes Vigo small potatoes. He is like the buzzing of flies to Gozer. It doesn't sound like the new Ghostbusters will be dealing with deities, which is kind of sad. But if they manage to give the new antagonist a little depth similar to how they handled Gozer, that would be extra cool.

EDIT: ^^^ Wait, what am I missing with that line? Isn't Ray referring to the flat 'bench' thing that Gozer's standing on? Is it a hair joke? Have... have I missed that all this time?  Re: Xezton's post: What's also funny is that the GB didn't really defeat Gozer, in that they only really closed the doorway and killed the destructor. So... Gozer's still Gozing around, loving poo poo up for other beings in other dimensions. Also, the Tumblr-esque implications of Winston's surprised "I thought Gozer was a MAN!" line are just so  EDIT 2: Also, another good 'watch Egon' moment is right after Ray runs upstairs when they first see the firehall. He's shaking his head slowly to Peter, and then Peter turns to Mrs Rossini from Who's the Boss and says "I think we'll take it." Oh Egon

For all we know Gozer is still around, just trapped on Earth in a skull, and so weak all it can do is kinda glow a lil' bit. Surely if someone were to find that skull and power it up with some crazy ritual, Gozer could come back! Turns out it's pretty hard to kill gods!

To this day I probably wouldn't have noticed Egon helping Venkman with the pricing at the Sedgwick if someone on SA hadn't pointed it out first. I think for those of us that grew up with the VHS copy of this film that joke gets lost with Pan & Scan they did on that version. If you really only watched the VHS release until you either saw a theater re-release, or the full frame DVD they practically cut out Ramis from the frame and it loses so much of that joke. I don't think I fully appreciated and noticed that joke until I had a copy of the movie in full frame. That is also one of my favorite moments in the film, it gives Egon that subtle amount of humor/character his generally dry delivery tries to hide. My biggest GB question that always bugged me was, they were totally broke right? So why the hell did they spend part of Ray's mortgage loan on a god damned arcade machine for their second level living area? You really only see it when "this fine meal here represents the...last of the petty cash", but I never understood why they'd spend money they didn't have on drat Donkey Kong machine I think?
