drat. Wish Janine had looked like that in the movie. I believe I have finally uncovered where my red-head preference began.

Unsettling.

I freely admit my love of redheads is because of 2 animated characters. Janine from Ghostbusters and Scarlett from GI Joe. Fess up goons, Cinnamon and I can't be alone.

Has anyone else picked up Ghostbusters: The Other Side yet? It's not a bad little graphic novel with the guys going up against the ghostly versions of Capone, Luciano, Lansky, and Seigel. Also, it has a fantastic :wtf:

Bloody Disgusting seems positive that he and Sigourney are returning, but has anyone else confirmed this? And didn't they both turn down doing the video game?

The funny thing is, a plot about them reopening after so many years would totally make sense for this movie, whereas with part II everyone went "huh?" when it started off with everything back to square one.

Sigourney turned it down because she thought Murray wasn't involved. By the time she realized her error/Murray changed his mind, they'd already signed Alyssa Milano.

Because I will drive from Canada to Hollywood. And I will kill him. When the customs agent asks me "Purpose of visit?" I will reply "Murder to prevent Shia TheBeef from being in a lovely remake of Ghostbusters." And they will let me through, because no loving jury in the world would convict me.

I typed this up for some friends last year. Just realized this thread's been around for quite a while and forgot to post it.

"Ghostbusters 2 is not so much about fighting ghosts as it is about American xenophobia and how to combat it. We see the weird, anational, cross-dressing foreigner trying to pass himself off as an American (�Upper Vest Side�), steal or kidnap American women and children (Dana and Oscar), steal American culture (the museum), turn Americans on themselves (the slime), and bring about the end of the world for the sole purpose of hedonistic pleasures promised to him by his evil prophet/demi-god Viggo.

We also see Dana as a single mother, and even though she is intelligent, cultured, talented, and financially independent, and even though she originally left Peter because of his immature rejection of commitment - plus the fact that for most of his career he�s been either bilking or bullshitting people about the very topics of which she is intently skeptical - the "right" thing of course at the end of the movie is that she needs a man in her life, and so they get together and Peter becomes the child�s father, proving himself mostly by saving the world.

And how they save the world is the most fun part. Against the weird foreigner and his evil demi-god, the Ghostbusters� usual brand of science fails utterly. Instead, and without exaggeration, they bring Liberty to life using the power of good ol� rock �n� roll. Yes, the statue�s symbolic flame of freedom bursts into real fire through the inoffensive, non-sexual pop appeal of a Jackie Wilson song. It's used first to inspire and dazzle a crowd of otherwise-big-city assholes, and then to smash through the barrier and the plans of the evil foreigner and his demi-god."

Quit pretending to be other people, SMG! :argh:

Yes and no. Stay Puft made no goddamn sense since he was literally Gozer and they stopped him dead. But some moron writer or exectutive said "gently caress that poo poo, we need to sell toys" and he showed up in the Cartoon fighting a giant inflatable mantis Kaiju movie style.

To be fair, 99% of the toys did not actually show up in the cartoon. And vice versa too, or I would've had a loving awesome Cthulhu toy growing up.

But back to new news, I think Lord and Miller are possibly the only directors in Hollywood right now that kind of at least get what made Ghostbusters great. And they've got enough juice at this point to get some good loving people involved. But I demand that all ghost effects be done like they were for the original, no goddamned CGI. Those ghosts looked thousands of times better than the digital vomit that was Casper (for example, that's the only CG ghost I can think of off the top of my head.)
