*reboot of a film where a dude got a BJ from a ghost* well I don't think they should be punching the ghosts' dongs.

I would be ok with a GhostBusters reboot not featuring ghost sex at all. Evil Dead left out the tree rape from The Evil Dead, and if anything, I'd call that an improvement.

At least we can be sure that in this movie one of the main characters won't work her way into a male client's apartment with the express purpose of flirting with him, checking out his bedroom, professing her love to him, and then having the gall to beg him for a kiss with her foot in the door after he physically forces her out once he realizes her intentions.

Sounds so romantic when you put it that way. I know I'd be smitten.

I'm probably going to enjoy this movie. As it turns out, I am now easily entertained!

About where I am. I like the modern but still falling apart equipment, I got a few laughs from the it's a Cadillac, the dummies, and the first ghost. Plus, I kinda liked Melissa McCArthy's head twisting ways it's not suppose to.

Also, I like Leslie Jones.

That's what's so weird about Bill Murray as Venkman. He's a total creep but somehow it's kind of charming.

I am not familiar with any of the actresses in the movie, as I haven't watched SNL for 15 years. But, shucks, everything McKinnon did was spot on.

e: The heck with it. I wasn't wowed by the trailer, but my wife thinks it looks fun and it has people talking about Ghostbusters. I'm ready to watch the full movie, let's go.

I agree, if she's stealing every scene in the trailer I suspect that will also be the case throughout the movie. Her reaction to the hearse is absolutely perfect.

This seems like a fine way to do a new ghostbusters. I'm glad it's not trying to be the old one with a new coat of paint and seems to be fine trying to do its own thing with the premise.

The jokes aren't great but honestly the original kind of fell flat too whenever Bill Murray wasn't mugging the camera.

ImpAtom
May 24, 2007

To be honest, the actual quality of the jokes doesn't seem much different to me. The actors in Ghostbusters saved some truly dire jokes and as mentioned Bill Murray's character would have died on the vine if anyone else played him. Either the actors will do better in the context of the film or they're just not capable of saving the script the way the originals were.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.
After that trailer my only question is can kate mckinnon singlehandedly save this turd?

Maybe it's just me but it's always seemed really weird to immediatly label a movie a flop, a piece of poo poo or speculate it's going to get a 0% on RT based on it's trailer, it's initial trailer at that. Trailers are almost universally poo poo at predicting if a movie will be good or not. There are plenty of cases where a movie has a rad trailer and it turns out to be dogshit and plenty of times where a movie has a garbage trailer and turns out awesome.

It might be me being wary of joining the crowd of people screaming and wishing this movie is lovely due to an all female lead cast but I really think this can be an awesome movie.

Yeah when I was a little kid watching the movie I thought Bill Murray was the funniest character, too. Now that I'm an adult I realize it's actually Ackroyd and Ramis who have the best jokes.

It's a comedy though. It's one thing to convey drama or horror in a short trailer. It shouldn't be hard to convey that your comedy movie is actually funny through a trailer.

There's nothing wrong with liking the trailer. People have different taste and different senses of humor. I just take issue with people basing their opinion on some dumb internet culture war nonsense.

I came into the thread to say that if the movie is good, the team who made the trailer needs to be fired. Your cut completely solidifies that opinion -- now that's a movie I'd want to see.

I think the trick of that was that TMNT knew it's market. Whoever made this movie clearly doesn't and doesn't seem to care. It'll do fine and quietly disappear, chalking off another failed reboot of a successful cult franchise like Indian Jones. Maybe Back to the Future will be next and we can jokes about Iphones and Apple products!

In the same vein, you all should watch the trailer to The Shawshank Redemption; makes it look like one of the shittiest movies and a huge waste of time.
