It's 'genovese syndrome.' Also called the bystander effect. One of humanity's shittier traits.

Basebf555 posted:Yea, nothing complicated but when you're 4 or 5 years old all you think about is the giant loving demon dog that's about to maul Louis so the fact that there was a joke there didn't even register until years later. I didn't realize that Ray was getting a ghost blowjob until I was about 21 and someone explained it to me.

The snooty people in that Central Park restaurant would have assumed that Louis was just another homeless person screaming about crazy poo poo

Probably my favorite "hidden" joke where I saw the movie about a hundred times without noticing it was the scene where Peter is giving the hotel manager the pricing and he has no clue what they should charge so Egon is standing to the side giving him the prices with his fingers.

I'm not sure, but Egon might be out of frame in the 4:3 VHS/TV version.

First time?'; at least the version I grew up with (taped off of MITV  , with the alternate takes for lines), it's actually RAY who's out of frame.And Peter is talking to Ray, so I have no idea why they did that

I remember having a late-era VHS copy of GB1 where the panning back and forth was so unnaturally smooth that it was distracting and made it almost unwatchable, like that motion smoothing feature on newer TVs.

I'd heard bad things about the Xbox One Blu-ray player app, so I "quickly" sat down to see if it would play 4K Blu-rays for me and popped in Ghostbusters to see if it worked. And suddenly it was 40 minutes later.

The Terror Dogs from GB1 scared the poo poo out of me as a kid. It wasn't just the look and the sound, it was also the whole "transform into them" aspect. I also saw Alien around the same time (I watched both from behind the couch when my parents thought I was asleep) and got this deep-seated fear of parasites. The two kind of blended in my memory. For years, when I had a nightmare, it was inevitably some combination of being captured, implanted, and turning into/used for something. This is why I think Fire In The Sky is the scariest movie ever made. It goes straight to my biggest childhood fears.

I think Rudd could actually pull off a pretty good version of Ray or some similar character so he'd be a good fit with the right co-stars, but holy poo poo are all these promos super desperate to push the message "This time we'll be mega respectful of the canon, we're so sorry about the last film, please don't hate us again!!!"

I guess I see him more as a guy who gets "well meaning but naive doofus" roles, he doesn't feel sleazy enough to be a Venkman to me.

Murray is(or was, depending on your opinion of his current career) a generational talent so it's no surprise that he'd be the toughest to replace. But Ray and Egon also have their nuances that go beyond just the archetypes, so really trying to fit a new cast into those molds is probably a mistake.

Jason Reitman said, “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ‘80s happened in the ‘80s, and this is set in the present day.” I don't know how you wouldn't consider Ghostbusters 3.

To me, “Ghostbusters 3” means the lead characters are Peter, Ray, and Winston, with maybe a new 4th guy. If this new movie is mostly about new characters, with only small cameos from the old guys it will be a tad disappointing, but still possibly good.

I am realistic about what the film will be, just using the original props and score is a big plus. Hopefully the writing and direction takes inspiration from the two originals aswell. There is a good clip on youtube contrasting 1984's proton pack explanation scene with 2016's and I think it just shows why a lot of people disliked 2016: overly long scenes where no-one ever stops talking is not what a lot of GB fans like about the series.

So this is going to be a long, slow character piece that follows each of the remaining members as they reach the end of their life? Finally facing their fears, their joys, and their missed opportunities? The climax is cutting between each member as they transition to death, each in a moment of sorrow or pain as they realize it’s the end, only to get a smile on their face as we pan up and see Egon welcoming them to peace one after the other? Ray in his book store, Venkman in a foreign brothal, and Winston in the Oval Office. Edit: The pace would have to be along the lines of Ghost Dog or Lost in Translation.
