Cinnamon Bastard posted:Jesus, how have i never caught that. Yeah, I'm wondering how I've never caught this. I watched it every day til I was about 10. And I still watch it about once a month. And I've never noticed. I have the boxset of the cartoon, in the firehouse. It's pretty awesome. You can really tell that J. Michael Straczynski is one cranky man. The best episode of the cartoon is "Ragnarok and Roll." It's about a guy who decides to destroy the planet since his girlfriend dumped him. Definitely my favorite. Or the one about the guy who rids the world of chickens.

ShawnWilkesBooth posted:Yeah, it's the Egon one. I haven't even seen an episode of the show in two decades. Was there another one where they help a fat ghost (Orson Welles but no little kid knows this) find his sled Rosebud? Yeah, about them staying in the haunted house of William Randolph Hearse or something. It's pretty funny, considering Maurice LaMarche basically made a career of using that same impersonation over and over.

YourEvilTw1n posted:Well, eventually Music was replaced by Dave Coulier, also known as Uncle Joey. So, it might not have been him! Yeah, by the time my memory kicks in regarding Saturday morning cartoons, it was definitely Coulier-episodes. Looking back on them, they are awful, aside from that musical Halloween episode, and the ones with vampires fighting werewolves. I mean, I don't know WHO thought it would be a good idea to say "Hey! What if the Ghostbusters fought unlicensed ghost copies of the Simpsons family?"

Been re-watching some of the cartoon, and, really, the Coulier-Venkman episodes aren't as bad as I remembered. At least, until they changed the animation style to make it 'cartoonier,' and got rid of the awesome score they'd been using from the beginning and replaced it with electronic garbage.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I believe this episode was originally the pilot. It was the pilot for the Syndicated version of the show. The ABC episodes were started with that episode where the ghost family with the idiot son taking over a chocolate factory or something. The syndicated ones were usually more hosed up, and the ABC ones were goofier.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Guard: Dr. Venkman, World of the Psychic! How are ya? You know that used to be one of my two favourite shows. That's probably my favorite joke in the movie, aside from Louis's 'elevator' speech. Though this is solely because my grandpa watched fishing shows and listened to conspiracy radio shows all the time. I bet he'd have hung out with the guard.

As long as Venkman is even more bitter because he's old now, and can't charm every woman. That said, going the 'new team' way, I kind of want to see Winston playing the biggest role in training them. Just because Ernie Hudson is awesome.

Die Laughing posted:I can proudly say that it was my first movie in a theatre. I don't remember it, as I was probably two years old, but it's good to know I wasn't the only one that dragged their parents to see it. It was my first movie in theaters too. I don't remember anything, but my folks claim I was running up and down the aisles the whole movie. I was three.

Mortanis posted:Isn't that a lot of what started the feud between Murray and Ramis? I recall reading that Ramis effectively created the persona of Bill Murray through the script, and when Bill became popular he somewhat resented Ramis for it. Then came the butting of heads with Groundhog's Day and they had a falling out. Groundhog's Day is quickly becoming my favorite movie. I've re-watched it a few times lately and it's really amazing. Bill Murray is great in it. Between this and Scrooged, you can definitely see his performances becoming more like they are in Wes Anderson's movies: Surprisingly subtle and touching at times, but still hilarious.

Ghostbusters II would've been an awesome episode of "The Real Ghostbusters." The comic book adaptation was pretty neat. As a movie, it's pretty boring, with flashes of comedy.

I've been watching "Extreme Ghostbusters" on Google Video, and, man, it has not aged well. I did like the two episodes involving all four of the originals. And the episode with The Grundel returning. Other than that, it's way too politically correct for its own good.

The Real Ghostbusters was (til Dave Coulier) fantastic. Extreme Ghostbusters was mostly terrible. With the game, we had a good 'send-off,' so they should let it be.

Lobok posted:Even if everything else about the project is good, I don't know how much I can enjoy a comedy, even if that comedy happens to be a sequel to my favourite movie of all time, if I know two of the leads are barely tolerating each other. I can watch Groundhog Day still with no problem but that's because Ramis isn't actually on screen. Except for the brief scene with the head x-ray. Also, I just read that article, and it kind of makes me feel bad for Ramis. He just wants Murray to still be his friend SO BADLY.

OldSenileGuy posted:How is Ramis looking these days? Because if this movie actually happens, I don't know if I can accept Fat Egon. That's precisely how I feel. It'll probably be covered with some "Shouldn't have made so many Twinkie analogies" joke or something. I wouldn't mind another game, but at this point, I really don't want another movie. Murray doesn't want to do it, Ramis and Aykroyd will try too hard. Hudson's fine by me. Let's have a "Winston trains the new recruits because the other guys are too old and fat" montage.

This goes for the sequels. Pretty much this. Except for "The Real Ghostbusters." It's still great. Different from the movie, but still fun. Ghostbusters II is fun, but not great.

I bought the Wii version recently and it's pretty fun. The first few levels were the best. I lost interest at the level where you have to blast the graves to get dancing skeletons to jump out. I'll probably get back to it soon, though, just to see the ending.
