RareAcumen posted:So what you're saying is that someone should swap Leslie and Ern.ie's scenes from both movies and thus make a complete roster that fits together for everyone I love Hudson in the original movie. It sucks that his character was changed and sidelined, but as I've got older I've learned to appreciate his performance a lot more. He and Peter Macnicol are the few saving graces of the sequel.

Jimbot posted:Only thing I disagree with in the Plinkett review is that all the characters in the original film get good development. Winston, I found, got shafted something fierce. They hire him and he is kind of just... there. They give him a few good lines but compared to the other three he's just a fourth uniform in the background. When I read of the diminished role of him and how Ernie Hudson was kind of bummed that the character changed so much from the script, you really notice when you watch the film.

I like how most people refer to the original Ghostbusters cast as Egon/Venkman/Etc., but seemingly no one can remember the names of the actual characters in GB2016.

FlamingLiberal posted:IIRC Eddie Murphy was the original choice for Ghostbusters but had a schedule conflict or it didn't work out, so I'm guessing they had to change it from that. He took Beverly Hills Cop over it was what it was. There were a ton of casting fall-throughs though (I don't think this is even all of them), so they should have been used to it I'd think.

Was Ernie supposed to be ex-military in the script or was that from the original version called "Ghostsmashers"?

A side effect of both Improv Saved By Editor, and that what little was written for the characters was board flat and just nothing. The most notable 'character' is the movie is Hemsworth's if only because holy poo poo is that ever a horrific reading of Janine.

I'm not sure why Paul Feig was even there when it's clear from the commentaries and the on-set footage that he was just letting the actors do whatever they wanted. As the review points out near the end, he's like a grade school teacher just standing around and laughing at how the kids have taken over the production. From what I can tell he was not doing anything close to what is traditionally considered directing. He might as well have just been the cinematographer.

Playstation 4 posted:Ernie was an excellent actor with a muted character script, Jones was a excellent improv with no script and a hack director. Really both were held back, and its a shame I would pay to see a totally-not-spinoff movie of Leslie Jones teaming up with Ernie Hudson as ghost detectives.

You know how you can read somebody's post, and think "god that's stupid, why would they type that?" And then five minutes later, you see they've posted something just as stupid? And they've been doing it for years? And never seem to notice how stupid their posts are? It's kinda like that.

I know it's MisterBibs, but... Usually, it's gradual. As you eat more, your bodt gets used to it and craves more, which makes you hungrier, etc. A vicious circle. At least that's how it was for me.

Not a 1:1 obviously, but a mental disorder is not really all that different from any other disorder someone might find themselves having.
