You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is boring! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, there'll be a Thundercats movie, or a seventh Iron Man sequel, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that they flipped the GENDER, well, then everyone loses their minds!

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The film is still four months from hitting screens so yeah, once Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War and their merchandising blitzes are out of the way expect to see some new GB stuff hitting shelves. You know, I see a lot of poo poo I should be excited for in this list but the only one I want to watch is Finding Dory, because more Dory is a good thing. And sorry guys getting really mad about the ghostbusters trailer being really lackluster but your pet movie looks bad, and it has little to do with women, or pistol licking. It's that it's just another generic physical comedy with an existing IP slapped over it. The first ghostbusters success had gently caress all to do with ghosts, and everything to do with great believable dialogue, actor chemistry, and pretty much superhuman comedic timing. Compare the subtle deliveries of "That's a big twinkie" or "I've seen poo poo that will turn you white!" to someone yelling the "Power of pain compels you!" while slapping someone. EDIT: Ghostbusters 2 moving further towards physical comedy over say... good writing is a big part of why it wasn't as good. Imo. I'm still going to go watch it because I'm a consumer whore.

I thought we all decided comparing the new movie's form of "lol too much physical" comedy to the old one's "more subtle" comedy was dumb because the old one has plenty of slapstick and clown appropriate humor and it's pretty hard if not impossible to convey the "subtle" humor you're talking about in a two and a half minute trailer.

It's very much possible to convey subtlety and nuance and the overall tone of a film in a short trailer. In fact it's as simple as presenting several complete gags without any distractions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqVgCfZX-yE

I agree with you on that.  steinrokkan posted:It's very much possible to convey subtlety and nuance and the overall tone of a film in a short trailer. In fact it's as simple as presenting several complete gags without any distractions. It's possible yes. Ghostbusters is not Annie Hall, however. Someone should make a fan recut of the original Ghostbusters trailer that only shows the subtle good stuff by presenting complete gags. The "Hey anybody seen a ghost???!!!" line without the setup of "Yes they'll be totally discreet." is just no where near as funny. But backing all the jokes like that up with their setups would make for a boring trailer, I'd imagine. xezton fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Mar 12, 2016 |

But backing all the jokes like that up with their setups would make for a boring trailer, I'd imagine. Well, if you find a cherry picked scene from a movie boring, I guess you are not the audience for it? How are you going to sit through dozens of similar scenes? (I'm joking, but only partially) You can make a good trailer even using the rapid cut method of today, as long as you focus on the substance of the film instead of the dubious quality of the visuals, and end up condensing the film itself into a jokey synopsis of itself. Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQshyrB_sD8 Same director, a very different approach to trailer, still tells you everything about the movie and whether you'll like it. Avril Lavigne posted:I'd pay a lot to see a Woody Allen remake of Ghostbusters. Agreed. It would work with the Sleeper era Woody, but sadly probably not with his current self.

(I'm joking, but only partially) Unfortunately your comparisons aren't helping me because I'm genuinely not interested in Woody Allen movies and close those trailers less than half way through *prepares to be stoned and lynched* But I get what you're saying. I just don't honestly think a trailer showcasing "subtle humor" like in your examples would really be the right venue for Ghostbusters, old or new. Would be interesting to see just for a somewhat more objective comparison, though.

xezton posted:Unfortunately your comparisons aren't helping me because I'm genuinely not interested in Woody Allen movies *prepares to be stoned and lynched* The point is, it is representative enough to tell you "I'm not interested". That's equally as valid as being excited for the movie, and it's informed because you've seen quite a lot of the sort of stuff the movie uses. Fast forward to 2016 where people are saying you can't use trailers to judge a movie because two minutes just isn't enough to convey the deep themes of Emma The Ducky Lost her Ball, and they are partially right because trailers have been reduced to visual noise.

That's equally as valid as being excited for the movie, and it's informed because you've seen quite a lot of the sort of stuff the movie uses. Yeah but making an artful and nuanced trailer for Ghostbusters akin to the trailers you linked would be like trying to advertise some lovely boxed wine to a connoisseur as some priceless vintage. I think the trailer for the new Ghostbusters is representative enough to tell you "I'm not interested", too. Obviously. I just thought comparing the subtle deliveries of lines from the old movie (which might be kinda funny on their own but are much better when backed up by their setups) to the new trailer is silly because new trailers don't do subtle. The new movie could be full of subtle humor but we won't know until someone sees it and says so. It might make more sense to compare the old trailers to the new trailers. But then you're going to run into the problem of "well marketing has changed in 30 years" so yeah like I said, I thought we all agreed this discussion of a subtle new Ghostbusters trailer wasn't worth having a few pages back?

Went jogging today (Ghostbusters 2 ref? No I actually was lol) and I had the theme going in my earbuds and noticed this particular line : http://youtu.be/m9We2XsVZfc i ain't fraid of no ghost.. ...I hear it likes the girls... And I actually got the chills at how prophetic this line turned out to be. In the 80s it was just a funny throwaway line but now it has a way deeper meaning to it thanks to this movie. Pretty cool. They should use it more in the marketing for this movie.

Edit: VVVV - There's a rule about referring to the "bustin'" video on youtube? I don't see any relevant probations on your rap sheet is the only reason I'm askin. To be clear, I wasn't making some sort of creepy sexual comment. Original tune said something about girls, they appeared in the new film. "bustin'" said something about a freaky ghost bed, would be funny to see a ghost bed in the new film floating around all spooky like. xezton fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Mar 12, 2016 |

I'm thinking of that McKinnon licking the gun thing and that really is so bizarre. Like what other connotation could that have? Are there any cases of guys licking guns in a way that isn't inherently sexual? How would that make sense for a character in her position to want to lick the gun other than in a phallic context? That really is just so weird.

I agree with everything you wrote here but this is why people think the movie could be misrepresented by the trailer. I by no means think it's impossible to represent the themes of a movie in 2 minutes, but nowadays "trailers have been reduced to visual noise" largely because they are cut together by some marketing people from the studio who want to appeal to the broadest possible audience. I think it's possible that this is a bad trailer that doesn't represent the movie, and I hope that is true because I'd rather we have a good movie than a bad movie and I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of pure schadenfreude. I totally understand why you are not hopeful and the trailer has you disinterested. I don't think I deserve to be taunted like some imbecile for my belief tho.
