Throw a GHOST in jail? doctor strange or mephisto probably have something that could handle a ghost, but then you'd need to get the technique or device to get allowed to be used as a form of punishment in this country. It's all very tricky. Now Reed Richards could probably come up with an appropriate prison for ghosts and keep it within the realm of standard imprisonment we have now.

itd be a pretty cheap prison once you get the tech set up bc ghosts dont need food or healthcare

The_Doctor posted:I finished Channel Zero: No End House. That was the best one, was it? Hmm. I definitely feel like I enjoyed Candle Cove a lot more. Personally I'd have been happy to finish NEH on episode 4, but then there's another two episodes where they had to pad out more. I feel like I didn't experience anything else of value in eps 5 and 6, I just got frustrated at these people sitting around the twilight lit empty houses who wouldn't turn a drat light on. That first episode though, straight up Twilight Zone feels, a rare television experience.

Ghostbusters is really hated these days, politically. It’s not surprising any more people are like whatever about it

Candle Cove is probably better, but John Carroll Lynch is real good in No End House. I'm reading the synopsis of S3 & 4 and uhhh.. I saw them but this doesn't seem familiar at all.

You're never going to be able to reproduce for someone what it was like to be born the year that Ghostbusters came out, and to grow up with the cartoon series and the toys and then the sequel in 1989. It was the perfect thing to spark a bunch of areas of my imagination, and with the perfect cast that allowed me to be scared but having fun with it at the same time. I think the movie holds up just fine today, and anyone should be able to enjoy it, but it can't be the same as the phenomenon that happened during that time. I was a Ghostbuster for Halloween three years in a row for christsakes.

Kvlt! posted:Thats loving hilarious omg do you know which one that was? I'm not a huge comic guy but id love to read that I don’t know the specific issue that happened in, but the series is the Marv Wolfman/Gene Colan Tomb of Dracula, which is worth reading beginning to end, because it’s one of the best comics of the 70s. If you ever wanted to see Dracula fight Silver Surfer, this is the book for you* *this is not representative of the typical tone of the book, but it does happen

I mean the movie is extremely Reagan-era in its view of business and regulations but that's such a small part of the story.

I’ve noticed more dislike towards it recently than I ever have. Probably the spaces I’m in.

If you dislike Ghostbusters for "political reasons", I doubt there are very many films you like.

Winston’s role gets brought up a lot too, and the fact that Peter is pretty sexist. I think it’s mostly counter backlash to the right-wing backlash to the remake. I wish someone other than Paul Feig had directed the remake. I think he got lucky with Bridesmaids because everything else he’s done has fallen pretty flat for me.

I can totally imagine a younger person not vibing with the movie for how dated a lot of it is politically, culturally and just character archetype wise, but I think calling that hatred is overstating things.Spatulater bro! posted:If you dislike Ghostbusters for "political reasons", I doubt there are very many films you like. Eh, I think at least part of the movie's charm is a "you had to be there" thing these days. A lot of what made it original and unique has been homaged, stolen or just done better by other media since. And some of the humor is very 1980s. Like I imagine someone who grew up watching Gravity Falls wouldn't find the concepts in the movie very fresh. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 9, 2021 |

The lady Ghostbusters was hated by the chud-o-sphere because of chud politics, but I'm not aware of any politics whatsoever around the other ones.

Count me in as someone who feels utterly nothing for Ghostbusters. The first one is a better movie than the second for sure, but still, eh. And i wouldn’t call it hate maybe, but if pushed on why they don’t interest me I get a little more barbed, as under a certain age I feel no one needs to justify not caring much about Bill Murray or the 80’s (im only stopping off in that decade for born in flames and then movin’ on) Peacoffee fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Feb 9, 2021 |

I don't really have strong feelings about Ghostbusters one way or the other but I do remember watching it as a kid and asking my cousin why the whole movie couldn't be like the Stay-Puft stuff at the end and she just laughed and said I should watch Godzilla and that's how I got into kaiju flicks. So thanks, Ghostbusters!

I was almost 10 when Ghostbusters came out, and it was great. Saw it again in IMAX 70mm a few years later and it was still great. I kind of want to watch it again, now. So it's true:Peacoffee posted:Count me in as someone who feels utterly nothing for Ghostbusters. The first one is a better movie than the second for sure, but still, eh. This man has no

I’m not sure I even saw Ghostbusters as a kid but there was so much saturation with the toys and TV show and Universal Studios attraction that I “saw” the film through cultural osmosis.

If watching Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson fire on all cylinders does nothing for you then you've lived long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Venkman's whole attitude sits uneasily now, more so imo than some of the Reagan stuff. The scene where he checks out Dana's apartment has a real sleazy, borderline predator vibe that was probably "charming" at one point but now just isn't. It's still a great film though besides that, and probably my earliest memory of fear. It used to terrify me, especially all the Terror Dog stuff.

I’ve been checking out a lot of 2020 releases as much of the buzzy stuff from last year is starting to hit streaming and disc. Possessor, Vast of Night, Impetigore, and Alone were all good to great. Shudder is getting After Midnight and The Dark and the Wicked soon, so I’m looking forward to those. How arthouse-y is She Dies Tomorrow? I’ve heard good things, but sometimes I have trouble staying engaged with movies that prioritize a trippy or elegiac aesthetic over narrative coherence

I enjoyed it a lot but it borders on a “mumblecore” tone (I loving hate that term but I don’t know what else to call it) that I know a lot of people hate.
