Jason Reitman said, “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.” I don't know how you wouldn't consider Ghostbusters 3.

The text on the marshmallow bag is pretty small. And the mural is pretty faded. Watching a VHS copy on an 18" CRT it'd be easy to miss.

After 4 years of working on it, and 30+ years of wanting one, I've just about completed my baby. And the rest of the kit...  Super happy with it. Just waiting for my phone to ring.  I'm avoiding spoilers like the plague, so if you have any comments, questions or anything please quote me. Otherwise I'll skim the thread for a bit and miss your post.

Dawgstar posted:Wow! That's amazing work. Tom Guycot posted:Thats fantastic! The weathering looks great, and it looks like you used real clippards which always adds some class. I didn't see them in the photo, are the belt gizmo and walkie talkie still some of the parts you're working on or was it just not in the image? For the weathering I followed a lot techniques I learned from watching Adam Savage's One Day Builds on YouTube, and another channel, Punished Props. Those clippards aren't actually real, but they do look pretty close. This actually worked in my favor. I modified the one on the wand to work as the volume knob, and also house the rumble motor. I'm not sure about getting the walkie talkie or belt gizmo. My belt is overloaded with stuff as it is. Maybe I'll try to put on some weight to increase my circumference... I got the lights/sounds/rumble kit from a site called Rabid Prototypes. It was pricey but worked right out of the box. I'm pleased with the functionality, but getting the delicate circuit boards mounted so that the lights were oriented the right way was difficult. I had to make my own housings for each of them.

They did one video on modifying that pack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnYYqBu-Wkg And another on the technique I used go get the scratched, worn look on the edges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9QhOABTGoM&t=14s If you decide to go that route I found silver paint was too bright, and gun metal looked better.

A belt gizmo would be fun to make, but my problem is that I'm pretty skinny and I can't fit a lot of stuff on my belt and wear the pack at the same time. There are two leather things on my belt. The higher one is a holster for the pke meter that I made. The other one is a mount for the trap. You can see one on Peter's belt in the scene where Winston gets hired.

Tom Guycot posted:how cheap was this costume? The fabric looked pretty crummy. It's the kind that is nylon that gets ripped pretty easily, and wouldn't last very long. And that's fine for costume.

Icon-Cat posted:Regarding the excellent Legos and the line "Ray is missing his ears."—let us not forget that Venkman pulls one of his ears in GB1 and both of them, more aggressively, in GB2, so you're simply illustrating the logical conclusion of it all.

I liked the appearance of JK Simmons. "Holy poo poo, he's in this?" Combined with a the character devoting his life to Gozer but getting tossed aside was funny to me. I thought there was gonna be some monologing and hamming it up. Nope. Blam. loving dead. Jokes on me. Maybe there was supposed to be more, but I loled based on that.

I was definitely used to the pan and scan version from my vhs copy. One of my earliest memories was sitting in a shopping cart at Shopko and reaching out and grabbing it because I liked the logo and my mom actually bought it for me.WonkyBob posted:"Somehow, Vigo returned" I'm kinda tired of reboots, sequels, etc. going back to the same villains.

ImpAtom posted:Ernie Hudson would own but when doesn't he? Now that you mention it... Winston canonically making a poo poo ton of money might put him in a position to finance a revitalization of the Ghostbusters. I already think he would be the best choice to shepherd the new generation. Hudson isn't gonna command the price tag Aykroyd and Murray would. He'd make the best mentor of the three, imo.

Weird thing I noticed in the theater. Ray's tattoo correctly says Revelations 6:12 for the end of the world passage. But in the conversation he and Winston have in the original film he misremembers the passage as Revelations 7:12.

I kinda liked Holtzman's big shoot out at first, but since I overthink things it doesn't sit well with me now. In a world with an afterlife killing a ghost would be an abominable crime. You'd be destroying an everlasting spirit. At least murderers leave a soul behind. In a theological sense you'd be defying God's plan for their eternal rest or torment, in some traditions anyway.

Ghostbusters is a going in to business movie. Ghostbusters 2 is a going back into business movie. Ghostbusters 2016 is a going into business movie. Ghostbusters Aftterlife is a going back into business movie. The franchise has retread ground. If I had a time machine and poo poo tons of money I'd make the Ghostbusters a monster of the week show like the X-Files, or even something closer to the cartoon.

Check out this awesome costume build by a cool dad. Quoted from another thread. ReelBigLizard posted:Guy from my local twitter regulars is making a slimer costume for his 5 year old kid who loves ghostbusters for his ghostbusters birthday party. He's never done costume stuff before at all but he's just doing a great job.
