That reminds me. I've got an old Matty neutrino wand that I don't need anymore. If anybody is interested PM me.

I think the Matty wand is just slightly better than the Hasbro one, although they both have pros and cons.

I love the heft of the Hasbro, plus the feel of the metal switches, and the motor. I also love the longer, sleeker tip and the myriad of sound/color choices. But, I love the Matty wand too. Now where the hell is my 1:1 Hasbro Slimer blower.

The Matty PKE Meter is the holy grail for me right now because I don't want to 3d print one (I'm going to wind up 3d printing one). I did do a quick and dirty belt gizmo with my printer and some cheapo leds.

The one bad thing about the Matty PKE is that the sounds are way off.

Groovelord Neato posted: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. I think we need to factor in the pandemic release, but also factor in that it was a bland and forgettable film.

Was excited for Afterlife. Saw Afterlife. Didn't hate or dislike it but am no longer excited for anything GB-related.

I'm okay with a new Ghostbusters film, but its a 3 1/2hr docudrama about the ghost that sucks your dick when you sleep in a museum.

There should be a ghostbusters movie where the ghostbusters are the villains and the protagonists are a family trying to keep the ghosts of their grandparents from getting thrown into ghost jail. The protagonists also find out the ghostbusters company is purposefully awakening ghosts and capturing them to keep their profit margins up.

I’d watch this movie, or if you want to leave the Ghostbusters themselves untarnished then have a rival company that pulls that poo poo, or a government agency that seeks out ghosts and busts them regardless of whether they’re benign or not. I kind of figured the Ghostbusters only “answered the calls” - aside from world ending threats they only busted “nuisance” ghosts that people complained and called them about. The ghost of your parents or your favorite cat or whatever probably wouldn’t get called about, so they’d be safe. Although it would have been hilarious if at the end of Afterlife, the OG crew busted Ghost Egon on principle, no exceptions.

The_Doctor posted:Ghost Smashers from the comics would make for a good antagonist group for a movie. That's the equivalent of making Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne a good guy because other billionaires are evil. The point is that they're all evil. Do the guys in the original movie ever care about who Slimer was before he died? Do they give a poo poo if his family is against ghost incarceration? And what if Slimer was a lone vagrant, does him being unhoused and unloved make him any less of a person who deserves equal rights? The original movie revels in its libertarianism so you're not meant to ask these questions while Pete and Egon hose the snooty hotel concierge (not even the owner, just another worker) and tweak the mean EPA bully because he's worried about little things like a nuclear reactor in the middle of NYC that's running off of the city grid.

It also would make for a dull movie. I mean I guess it wouldn’t be an awful horror thriller but it wouldn’t be a comedy and ghostbusters should be funny.

Indefinite extra-judicial imprisonment is despicable, even if the detainee is non-corporeal. The containment grid is worse than Gitmo.

Meanwhile, it feels like the cartoon showed us inside of the containment unit every goddamned week. Just ghosts either floating around in a purgatory-like purple mist, or sitting on a random rock (?).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_bodPTRQ0Q

The fact that they're bad idiots is not some hot take; that's like two-thirds of the jokes in the original movie. "We're doing bad, stupid things!"

They nearly literally killed an innocent maid in the hotel because they had little idea what they were doing. The fact that they didn't kill her, aside from being necessary in a narrative sense, was a complete accident.
