The general public definitely ended up perceiving them as frauds. All most people ever knew was that there were some claims of ghosts running around, then the Ghostbusters went into a highrise building and blew the roof off the place causing millions of dollars in damage. I guess it really depends on how many people saw the Stay Puft incident. Realistically it would've had to be thousands of people but from what's actually shown in the movie it doesn't seem like all that many people are around to witness it.

This is really neat. Ecto-1 has a Corvette engine in it. text me a vag pic posted:One Gozer aspect of note: This movie was intended to come out in 2020, which would have been the 100 year anniversary of Shandor's Gozer cult. I'm willing to bet that Sommerville is where they got the metal for Spook Central in NYC. I bet you're right. Violator fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jul 27, 2021 |

The Ghostbusters are consummate snowball artists. They use sensitive nerve gases to induce hallucinations. People think they're seeing ghosts, and they call these bozos, who conveniently show up to deal with the problem with a fake electronic light show.

So with the way the ages of everyone works out, Egon’s daughter was probably born before the first film. Janine’s presence in the trailer makes me think he did marry her post GB2, so she might be 2nd wife?

I mean, it's a minor detsil, but we've all memorized every scene, so why not discuss this  Also fuuuuuuuuuuck yes, I enjoy that trailer. It's also possible, regarding the god stuff, that while the GBs know they fought a god, no one else learned about that or cared.

Right. After the last year I have no problem believing that people think the Ghostbusters were frauds. Even people who had to clean marshmallow from the streets.

If she's born in 1990(so the year after GB2) that would make her 31 for this movie, and she had her own kid when she was like 19 or 20. The actress looks a little bit older than 31 but it's no big deal.

Also, wrt the Gozer flat top look, it's possible that even though Gozer could choose any form, and did, maybe before becoming a God, it/he/she/they looked like Slavitza Jovan's look at the end of the first film? Also, is she coming back? Edit: just watched the in-depth look at the trailer. Really loved whatever the tattoo says on Ray's arm. I assume it's a quote from Revelations 7.12.

Reitman briefly considered trying to find the original footage of the cloud over New York to re-use, but the one in the trailer ended up being CG because it would've been too hard to find.

Am I misremembering things, or were those Ecto side door gunner seats in the Ghostbusters video game? I could swear I've seen them somewhere before. Trailer looked great. Yeah there's nostalgia bait in there but guess what motherfuckers, I'm the guy who's nostalgic for the Ghostbusters (the greatest movie ever) so I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Yeah, it’s really weird. I guess Sony feel comfortable enough with their audience to let them work out that with Ray appearing in the trailer, the others will too.

There'll be jokes. Don't worry. I'd rather have the horror aspect there and have the levity over top of it, than have the opposite which was sadly how AtC was handled.

I think it’s perfectly watchable, but also perfectly forgettable. I really feel like this is a franchise that works best when all that stuff is balanced and like Rupert just said 2016 went too far in the other direction. All the pre release material for this one has just seemed so far up it’s own rear end that it really bums me out. It feels like an overcorrection. If anything the aforementioned IDW comics really felt like they struck the best balance most of the time between straight faced supernatural adventure and the funny people it was happening to,

Perfectly believable that no one else saw what happened on the rooftop of the first movie, and enough plausible deniability about marshmallow man. Much harder to write off the second movie where they literally made a gigantic steel and concrete (or whatever) statue walk from the harbor through downtown. Very hyped though.

You could always take the fact that Gozer seems to be returning as kind of a "ok, party timez over, gently caress you, humanity", which is why it looks so serious. I have no doubt there'll be humour in it, though. Maybe jokes just don't work best over a trailer, compared to hinting at horror. Once a joke is out, it's out. Also, I think this whole scene might be my favourite from 2. This is such a "get hyped" song. Like, you want positivity, here you go, a monument-load of it, enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjskzUlJOfc

Carrie Coon was 39 during filming and Mckenna Grace was 13; assuming their characters are around the same age, Egon's daughter could've been born any time between the first two films. Feels to me like all three of the originals were out of luck and didn't have any major relationships prior to the first movie, maybe I'm just misremembering. Also the way Annie Potts says "your father" makes it sound like Carrie is her daughter but that probably doesn't fit. Side note, Carrie Coon played Proxima Midnight in Infinity War. No relation to Ghostbusters, just had no idea.

If anyone wants to see Carrie Coon being absolutely fantastic, please watch The Leftovers. It is a difficult watch, thematically and emotionally, but it's beautiful and amazing.

Ghostbusters 2016 was a unique experience for me, I've never had a movie slow time to a crawl like that. It must be something about the improv style of the comedy but I remember thinking "ok this thing is probably going into the home stretch here", and then I looked at the clock and it turned out I was only like a third of the way through it.
