CelticPredator posted:What if it was Dana’s Thorazine This is the answer in the official novelization. Well, Peter figures as a working artist in New York she probably has some valium somewhere and finds it. If you want you can infer she keeps it around because living in Spook Central might also entail nasty headaches. It also explains why Louis was buying painkillers by the bucket, although being smart he didn't buy name brands. It's just good financial sense.

I always assumed it being thorazine was a joke, you know , like in a comedy.

Revenge of the Nerds is a comedy from the same era.

I liked the part when Egon slid a trap under a clothesline and sucked up all the girls' panties, thus ensuring the Ghostbusters won the annual panty raid much to Dean Yeager's chagrin

Ghostbusters was a documentary, and the events occurred in real time.

Alan_Shore posted:No no, don't you see? Venkman is Bill Cosby! You seem remarkably committed to arguing that a middle-aged man using grant money to conduct a study on a university setting who is using that study to lie to someone in her 20s in the hopes of getting laid hasn't done anything wrong. Venkman hitting on a 20-year-old would be creepy in itself without that larger context. It's OK, the standards of humor change over time. The Marx Brothers movies are full of leering comedy and you can see the "women work for corporations only as secretaries and secretaries are supposed to be attractive and chased around their desks by their horny bosses" humor at work across decades of time in American media. Nobody has suggested that Ghostbusters be erased from history. Recognizing that not all of the humor in that film has aged well threatens nobody, except maybe middle-aged men who want to date 20-year-olds who are made uncomfortable by that being seen as creepy. My point about Cosby was that being funny and charming doesn't make creepy behavior less creepy. Maybe viewers still like Venkman as a character but that doesn't mean that the scene doesn't play differently in 2022, or that Venkman seems more of a creep now than he did in 1984. That scene is written to be funny and to reveal some things about Venkman's character: that's he's sleazy, horny, unethical, and sees the research he's doing mainly as an excuse to amuse himself or chase coeds. While there's no strong character arc across the movie, Venkman seems more heroic by the end of the film than at the start. I don't really understand why anyone would feel the need to make excuses for Venkman's behavior in the first place. He's not a paragon, he's a con-man in an ensemble comedy film. If he were on Leverage he'd be the grifter. Saying "fictional character did this creepy, not-OK thing in an 80s comedy and while it played OK for us in the 80s, it doesn't play as well now" or even "I don't like this particular Bill Murray sleazebag-made-good character" seems like something admissible in the Ghostbusters thread in Cinema Discusso. The weird thing is people posting snark as if discussing a fictional film in a thread for discussing a fictional film is somehow a bizarre thing to do or implies an inability to distinguish between fiction and reality. This is why the thread exists, guys. The joke's on you.

I wasn’t sure if the animated film and the animated series were the same thing filtered through bad reporting.

It ain't for us, all this new stuff is for the kids that watched afterlife identified with the kids and thought ooh more ghosts would be fun. The franchise is really done for me in terms of excitement. The original is fantastic and everything else is just take it or leave it. I am not hurt by more, but I'm not really excited anymore. I'd rather we get more fun video games than movies or tv shows. Turn the og cartoon into a series of games it shouldn't be that hard.

Did kids even like that last movie because the only reactions I heard were the blubbering grown rear end man behind me. If I was a kid I don’t think I would’ve identified with any of them because they’re like little adults with adult hobbies and personalities.

and honestly, the animated series will let them do so much more with the concept. I love the 80s series and the aesthetic but let's let a new generation take a crack at it.

I can't imagine not rolling your eyes at "the Spengler family story" but I saw people on twitter saying they cried when they saw young Leia which was one of the more embarrassing moves in a franchise full of embarrassing moves so there's no accounting for taste.

Presumably that just means continuing on with McKenna Grace who, to be fair, was probably the most positively received aspect of the film, even from detractors.

The animated film or series should take place between Ghostbusters 2 and Afterlife and really explain what the hell Egon did to Ray that was so bad, that Ray wouldn't even investigate the Shandor Mining Company's operation in Summerville.

The Ghostbusters animated series should be them struggling not to get priced out of Manhatten, dealing with tax policy, complaining about encroaching middle age and Jeanine installing Windows 3.1. Sometimes there would be a ghost.

My buddy is launching a distillery and I was helping him do his first bottling run. I noticed two of these adjustable Clippard valves on the bottle rinser. I'd seen them before. Kinda amusing to see a prop component doing it's day job.

They adjusted the flow to the bottle rinser. It needs the right pressure to blast water in to the bottles for the necessary length of time. They probably due similar stuff in other applications. The original prop makers probably just found a bunch of them at a junk store and thought they looked cool.

There is a part of me that's jealous of all the people that love chowing down on the slop it's certainly a happier life.

Yeah I agree, but I saw a lot more kids rocking Ghostbusters stuff after it came out (GB has been p enduring with kids anyway i suppose) so some kids had to have enjoyed it unless their parents just forced them to wear afterlife/ghostbusters stuff. Usually the kids are the ones point that out asking for it, not the nostalgia ridden parents forcing the merch on them.

Went to my first con since building my pack and there were a lot of kids in Ghostbusters stuff. Friend and I were having a great time asking if we could get pictures with them and they loved being able to fire the Neutrino Wands.
