My department is dressing up as Ghostbusters this Halloween so one of my coworkers will be sporting it (I’ll be rocking the Haslab pack and wand). I’ve also got a near-complete set of vintage Real Ghostbusters gear that some lucky coworkers will get to use in case the Haslab PKE meter and Ghost Trap don’t arrive before Halloween. I don’t intend to repaint the vintage stuff, I think it’s funnier if it’s grown adults sporting old kids’ toys.

I bought one for my daughter, and then bought another one for myself, to strip the electronics out of it for putting into my own proton pack wand. Still trying to figure out what I'll do for putting it in, but yeah the lights and sound effects are pretty nice. It's really easy to remove the gray barrel extension part, which immediately gives the toy a more classic styled look, but the part does control that power up noise, so alas.

I just read the first issue of the Ghostbusters: Back in Town comic book. It's far from a masterpiece but there are a few jokes and character moments that work well imo.

I bought my light/sound kit from a sight called Rabid Prototypes and he is doing a kickstarter to restart production. I'm happy really happy with mine* so I thought I'd post a link. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shawnswift/the-positron-proton-pack-kit There might be cheaper options out there for a complete pack though, I haven't looked. *I had to manufacture my own mounts to integrate them into my frame, but that was fun.

I just noticed that a lot of the advertising for the film atm features this specific formation of the cast:  Rudd, Murray and Wolfhard are given the most prominent spots, Hudson and Grace are shoved off to the side and don't even get to hold a neutrona wand, Potts didn't even make it onto the Blu-ray cover

Saw the movie this weekend and it felt serviceable: not great but it was a movie. It suffered a bit from the overly large cast, what with introducing new characters and giving the old folks more screentime. On the upside, there's a vibe that it corrects one thing the original movie did, namely sidelining Winston and it lets Ernie Hudson be the actually successful and together guy of the original group. The films should stop trying to make Slimer a thing, it didn't work in Ghostbusters 2 and it was always the worst part of the animated series too.

The_Doctor posted:The GB fandom is so weirdly adverse to new stuff, yet constantly complaining they want new stuff, but always “not like that”. I mean I'm honestly not sure they are, it's just that new stuff isn't really offered outside of the cartoon. The closest outside of that is like 2016 and the backlash from that was a lot more about there being FEEEMALES than anything else and I'm not sure that speaks for the whole fandom. I don't think there's much complaint about them introducing new characters in the newer movies except for the fact they are overshadowed by old people cameos and callbacks to the original film. It would be genuinely interesting to see a Ghostbusters thing that just... disposed of all of it. No Slimer, no Slime, No Stay Puff, No Gozer, no Bill Murray or Dan Ackroyd and (as loathe as I am to say it) no Ernie Hudson either. Specifically avoid retreading the same ground on any level that isn't "Exterminators but for Ghosts and it's funny, also Proton Packs are cool."

Ghostbusters IS Murray, Ackroyd, Ramis, and Hudson. People refuse to admit it, saying "oh why not do a new story?" but it's just people catching ghosts. That's not a story or a franchise. That's why putting the Ecto 1 into a movie, putting all women into a movie doesn't work. The only true Ghostbusters movie they could do is with the old guys.

I'd love a new RGB show. Same characters, though different actors, and they're doing their thing. Literal monster of the week with maybe a season-long arch leading up to a big finale. Get someone who's as imaginative as JMS, if not JMS himself.

Alan_Shore posted:There's a reason why everyone who talks about Ghostbusters uses the phrase "Lightning in a bottle" The first movie had a very small target to hit but only because it was the first one and in the early '80s. But I do think that the current state of comedy in Hollywood is pretty dire overall so until that changes I don't really have a whole lot of confidence in new GBs.

Don't worry, soon we'll have AI generated comedy and everything will be funny again.
