Friday the 13th is such a fun game. But the thing there is that Jason is super powerful compared to camp counsellors. Ghosts and Ghostbusters are more on an even keel so I wonder if they'll make it more of a 4 v 4 scenario. Looks like it has potential though, it very much feels of a piece with the Ghostbusters: The Video Game in terms of look.

Yeah I've been following his stuff. I have it all 3D printed and am assembling it. Learning more Arduino to get some of the moving parts done because I want it to open and play sounds and lights and send out smoke when you press the pedal. The lights were from a kit you can buy from GBFans which is a nice spot because I didn't want to deal with the sound board too. Here's a vid I made while I was still assembling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nas2dONXBlg Edit: and because branding is important here's what the back of the sound and light boards look like:  And the back of the led mounts for the cyclotron:  Push El Burrito fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Mar 31, 2022 |

I want to be excited about this, but a) I already assumed it was happening and b) I guess I finally just don't really care that much  I'll never stop loving the first two films, as well as a good portion of the cartoon, but beyond that, this might as well be any other sci fi franchise. And frankly, I'm kind of franchised out. Between Marvel and Star Wars, it's just too much. And I don't even watch either of those series; I'm tired of it all from an outsider.

They had no choice really. They weren't going to start from scratch yet again, especially with how much nostalgia equity they used up on Afterlife. Like, you can't just do another Ghostbusters reboot thing where you reference Harold Ramis and expect people to get all emotional about it again, you did that already and you attached Egon's legacy as a character to these new people. The only option other than to followup Afterlife would've just been to let Ghosbusters lie dormant for a decade or so, and that's not a realistic option given how these properties work and how important it is that they maintain relevancy so the toys and merch can be consistently sold even in years when there's no new movie.

How about if they made a Ghostbusters movie where the main characters of Ghostbusters were the main characters?

Alan_Shore posted:How about if they made a Ghostbusters movie where the main characters of Ghostbusters were the main characters? A Ghostbusters movie where every scene features one of the Ghostbusters saying something offscreen and getting the big surprise nostalgic cameo reveal where the camera lingers on them and the Elmer Bernstein score is reprised. This happens every single time one of the Ghostbusters is in a scene even though they are the main characters and the movie is six hours long as a result.

Whenever Bill Murray’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, “where’s Bill Murray?”

"We didn't even have to script this scene. The camera started rolling and nobody knew where Bill was. We weren't sure if he was even still on the project. Its amazing how well it worked for the story we wanted to tell."

They will reboot Ghostbusters forever if this new film bombs. It is crazy the fan base is so blind to the indifference of quality attached to the brand. They will literally sign off the GB logo being used on anything to make money. I am not invested in a new film but hope it really breaks away and stands on it's own feet. On social media the majority of the fan reaction was 'the old team need to be in it  ' as if they didn't looked ancient enough in Afterlife. The only way out of this is a quality product that completely breaks from the originals whilst acknowledging them I think.

Surprised Afterlife was considered a success when it made less than the original did in straight up dollars and made less than a 1/3 when adjusting for inflation.

Murray is always the problem, nobody ever has to wonder about if Aykroyd or Ernie Hudson are gonna actually want to be there or if they're going to give it their best if/when they do agree to appear in a movie. The funny thing is the Venkman character is set up perfectly for him to just.....not be there. You really don't need much story justification for it at all, just say he hosed off to Cancun or something. Winston and Ray can run the Ghostbusters just fine without him.

Venkman had the biggest laugh in Afterlife. It also seems kinda gross and wrong to be like "these guys look old, get them the gently caress off my screen" Like you couldn't mine comedy or tell a compelling story about the old ghostbusters

Because yea, of course Bill Murray is always going to be able to show up for a day and deliver a one-liner or two, and it'll be funny. Nobody is saying he isn't funny. But when you act like he's the sun and the entire franchise orbits around him, you end up with awkward contrived stuff like what we got in Afterlife. And don't get me wrong, as a lifelong fan I couldn't help but feel good during those scenes at certain moments, but you can't tell me that the movie wouldn't have been better off with the freedom to do it's own thing without the baggage of having to fit a 5 minute cameo in during what's supposed to be the climax. Now, if all the sudden Bill Murray is all-in and wants to actually be a part of things and do what most other actors do when they are a main role in a movie, that's one thing. But this never-ending game of having to bend over backwards to get him to agree to appear for 5 minutes of screentime is a lead weight on Ghostbusters preventing us from getting more interesting stuff.

Forever. 'Let's see Peter and Dana's story!' If the studio made a new film with the old team that was a GB 2 style 'exact same script different villain' effort they would watch them forever.

I’m also not sure how much of a “running change” the orange tip will be and if mine will have it, my wand was supposed to ship in like December and instead it shipped this week, so I dunno what batch mine is from.

No, it was that low-key "bravo" after Ray's speech. Absolutely, Murray has to want to do it. Otherwise, it's pointless.

If the studio made a new film with the old team that was a GB 2 style 'exact same script different villain' effort they would watch them forever. I like GB2. If we got something like GB2 with the OG cast I'd be really happy! Here's the thing a lot of people and the studios don't get, and it's really obvious when you think about it: Ghostbusters isn't the ghosts, or the proton packs, or the Ecto 1, or Staypuft. The clue is right there in the title. Ghostbusters is Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson. You can't just make a film with proton packs and say "Ghostbusters!" That's why they fail, and will always fail.

If the writers on the new movie create an interesting story that works in such a way that it includes Ray Stantz and/or Winston Zeddemore in a smooth logical way, bonus. This is not how it worked in Afterlife. Changing Ray's character and motivation as such that he just gives up on Egon made no sense and it feels like character motivations were shuffled around haphazardly while writing the script. It was nice to see them, but they were absolutely shoehorned into the last act. I feel like I don't need to see Venkman ever again; he keeps hammering that one note joke of a personality over and over and I hate it. The franchise is so ripe for interesting original stories that don't need to include the original crew out of some sort of noble obligation and the fact that we keep seeing the original story remixed and recreated is pretty depressing. I am excited for them to try something Actually New™ with the franchise, please. Bring back Podcast and give him a real name this time thanks. Also while they shouldn't lean on it so hard they should absolutely be diving into the comics and cartoons for plot/villain ideas similar to what Marvel has done with their comics for the MCU and the fact that they haven't figured this out yet is mind boggling.

The gbfans forums has a lot of mods for the different things you can buy so I'm sure they have one to easily get rid of that. A friend of mine is doing a teardown of a pack to put on his wall based off the Afterlife stuff so that'll be fun to see once it's done.

The Ghostbusters game was a really solid late 'Ghostbusters 3' with the whole original cast in it. I finally watched the trailer to the new 4v1 game and it is obviously heavily inspired by it in how everything looks and the quick bit in the ghost dimension. I had a weird dream last night where I was on set for a sequel to 2016 they also decided to make.
