Well I guess I'm here to say that Afterlife was good not great. It was quite clear to me that the folks who made it care very much about the original property and worked really hard to make a film that would not be an affront to that which I think they succeeded in. They also made a film that in no uncertain terms absolutely does not need to exist. They told us a story that set out to conclude something that was already closed and finished. I had a good time! I just left the theater feeling just kinda okay about it. I really wanted to love it, and I only liked it. I thought the humor was decent (Paul Rudd is def the best part although his jokes as Clortho to Zuul fell real flat to me ) and I think the set design and tools were all really cool and good. There was a lot of nostalgia, but I felt like the folks in the film are as excited about as we the audience are supposed to be and that helped with the numerous "remember that!" moments the film presents. 2016 at least gave us a great soundtrack with a ton of remixes and reuses of the original theme that I revisit and were good. I can't really think of anything I would take and care enough about to carry forward from this film. It was here, it was fine. You could easily never see it and not IMO really be missing out on anything to the GB universe. Gonna agree that the Ghost Egon sequence isn't awful per se, but it is way way too long. I also apparently only caught the mid credits scene since it felt like such a throwaway there wasn't gonna be anything else after it all (I also had a real head scratch when Sigourney Weaver's name shows up in the credits then guffaued good when it cuts right to her). Guess I'll have to watch it again for that at some point once its digitally available. The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Dec 7, 2021 |

For me the most amazing thing was how good Sigourney Weaver looked for 72, especially compared to Ackroyd and Murray. During the final scenes the movie seemed less ghostbusters and more Ghosts vs. Zombies.

(tbh I did refer to them as Damned Ackroyd and Ill Murray to a friend) I didn't mean to poo poo on them. I thought their look worked for them in the final battle. You could see the losses and pain of the last couple decades on them (though Ernie Hudson looked pretty good for his age, too). It was just the contrast of Weaver and Murray sharing the screen. He looked his age and she's apparently been "Mid to Late 40s" for the past 25-30 years.

(tbh I did refer to them as Damned Ackroyd and Ill Murray to a friend) Weaver talked about disliking cosmetic surgery in 2010 and mentioned taking better care of herself as she's aged. Ackroyd and Murray were probably fuelled by coke and booze until the mid 80s.

ImpAtom posted:Did Sigourney Weaver actually have work done or are you assuming a woman must have had cosmetic surgery if she aged remotely well? What an odd conclusion to jump to. I assume anyone in Hollywood who doesn't look their age has had work done. When I think of celebs who have had work done I think of Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Stallone, hell I recently watched the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building and so Steve Martin and Martin Short are on my mind as far as "has definitely had work". The point was more like, hey let's lay off people like Brendan Frasier and Helen Hunt (and yes, Murray and Ackroyd), who apparently lack Weaver's spectacular genetics and aren't having much work done. This isn't an insult at them - they don't look "bad", they just look like they've actually aged the appropriate amount. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Dec 9, 2021 |

They should definitely do a PKE meter next with movie accurate sounds. The Matty one was great, but the sounds being way off are still a sore point.

I'll agree with some of that. I kind of liked the 2016 movie. For people skeptical about how the crazy stuff from the first two movies could be forgotten, imagine trying to explain President Donald Trump to people even twenty years in the future. Still Afterlife missed a few beats. Unlike the other movies, the setting, which in their cases was New York City, never seemed to come alive as its own character. This setting, a small town whose name I can't even remember right now, felt more like an empty sound stage for the most part.

I didn’t mind the town, felt it fit nicely SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS DONT CLICK The small mining town that is dying since shandor closed down The only minor niggles I had were The mine was the local teen hangout and never once did they use the working lift to go inside And no one believing Egon about Gozors return, Ray at the very least should have known the details and Egon could prove it all true instantly

I also got a substantial Christmas bonus so it’s not like I can’t afford it.

If it helps you feel better about your purchase, you can always see if your area has a local Ghostbusters chapter that you can do charity events with. I'll definitely be getting a lot of use out of that thing.

Even if that's true, it then goes against Egon's character to just suddenly leave like that without explanation. Either way it's a bad plot point. Honestly the least believable plot point to me was the idea that at some point Egon had sex with a female human and got her pregnant. Beyond that... gently caress it. It was 37 years between 1984 and the current movie. That's plenty of time for some weird, bad changes to go down between the guys. Hell, IIRC between Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II, Ray and Winston had become Ghostbusters birthday clowns, Peter was a talk show host and Egon was being very... Egon. And that was just five years out from the first movie. 32 more years after that leaves room for a lot of long, strange bad trips.

Egon left them when Callie was very young, possibly before she was even born. He presumably maintained some kind of contact with Callie's mother to receive all those pictures but never interacted with Callie when he was alive.. But yeah, once thing I'd want from Afterlife II (aside from, y'know, an original villain not seen in the other movies) would be to meet Mrs. Spengler.

The Boogeyman is just a genuinely evil piece of poo poo that gets power and jollies from frightening children. If anything deserve a "cross-the-streams" proton blast in the face it's that loving thing. It's weird that for the most part the ghosts don't really seem to be hostile to humanity. They just want to do what they want to do (like eat iron or hot dogs) and that certainly causes problems for people, but the ghosts aren't really evil. Even in the first movie, Gozer didn't really come off as evil. It was just here to do the thing that it was supposed to do. It's just that it was basically summoned early because of Shador's hijinks.
