I felt like this, too, about how most if not all comedies just don't work for me. Then I remembered laughing out loud at Jason Bateman's 'Bad Words'. That's been the sole exception.

deoju posted:I really want a scene or a line that acknowledges that they had more adventures after GB2. Yeah, if we get even one scene where the guys (Ernie, Dan, Bill, or even just one of them) wax nostalgic for previous adventures in the 90s, I'll be super happy. I wonder how they'll talk about Egon, and if they'll mention the stuff that happened during the game. Obviously, I'm referring to the 3% that wasn't a rehash of the first two movies.

I don't even have a blu-ray player, and am now wondering how I could watch this in the cheapest way possible. I literally have no use for one aside from this.  I mean, those deleted scenes are going to hit youtube almost immediately, so that's cool. The commentaries, though... I definitely want to hear those.

Mooey Cow posted:But those scenes were supposed to have been lost A couple years ago, Ghostcorps or someone posted old tapes, and in sharpie marker, you can very clearly make out "Fort Detmerring" written along the side of it. At that time, it was 'recently uncovered'. They knew what they had and kept it until this release

Violator posted:What the heck is this lost scene about that makes it so important? Short answer: Ray gets a blowjob from a ghost. Long answer: Ray gets a blowjob from a ghost, and there's a bunch of extra stuff that happens. Wasn't originally meant as part of a montage, it's actually where Ray and Winston are driving to when they have their 'Revelations' conversation in the car, and where they're returning from when the firehall goes to hell. Bunch of dialogue about it, but it's one of the more extensive scenes written and filmed and then never used. Mostly everything else was small stuff, like the couple finding slimer in the hotel during their honeymoon, or the bums conversation, though I'm glad to be getting more of the latter with this new release.

I've always wondered why I'm so intensely interested in GB/GB2 deleted scenes, and couldn't really care that much about those from other movies. I guess I see GB-related scenes as completely different things probably because the first movie is just so engrained not just in the average fan's mind, but society in general. Because of that, discovering footage that's new to us but is just as old as the movie itself is kind of strange. Also, due to the massive popularity of GB over the past 3 decades, these scenes, hinted at years and years ago, build up some sort of mythological status among anyone who pays attention to this stuff.

Payndz posted:Makes me wonder now what the original context was for the scene with the three guys asleep in the fire house that the ghost blowjob dream sequence was inserted into. I don't remember it appearing in the script or being mentioned in The Making Of book. Good point. Maybe that part was specifically shot for the montage, and they might've had a clip of a paper headline, or an interview where they mention that they're not getting good sleep from being way too busy.

I'm torn between feeling happy for and kind of sad for Robin Shelby. She goes to all of these cons, and yes, she was a part of the production of GB2, but you'd never recognize her; she was the actress who was in the Slimer suit. And a whole Slimer subplot was cut, which is also kind of confusing to me; so, Slimer, in the cartoon, lives with the guys. Ok, that actually makes sense. It's fine, he's fairly benign, whatever, it's like an ethereal dog (though in that metaphor, the guys are dog catchers). Anyway... if Louis is their main accountant, why the hell is he surprised by Slimer?

The_Doctor posted:The Slimer stuff in GB2 is from the film being overly influenced by RGB. Yeah, I know. That and the changing of the times was also why there are pretty much no cigarettes or instances of smoking in the sequel, either. I get that it's a silly gag to have Louis scared by Slimer and all, but like.... one line could have cleared it up. I love GB2 mostly out of nostalgia (and it's an ok, legit-funny movie even if you take the franchise history out of consideration), but there's so much that could have been fixed

They missed a huuuuuuge opportunity by not making it free-roaming, sort of GTA or LA Noire-like, in that you can get jobs, drive the Ecto-1 yourself, and build up the franchise. And there'd be an over-arching story on top of that. The original guys could have been there for support, and you have to make your own team. I know there's Ghost Patrol on Steam but that is a far cry from what could have been with the actual license and money put into development

I have to agree with everything said so far, with regards to the scare factor of the first two films. I'll add that the entire library sequence (outside of the actual jokes) was really eerie, and anything regarding the terror dogs were pretty scary as well. I remember not getting the joke when Louis gets possessed at Tavern on the Green. My little kid brain would always think 'WHY DON'T THEY HELP HIM?!?!' Pssshh... New Yorkers. Also, even though the sequence was sort of a mix between badass and goofy, the courtroom scene from 2 used to get me. We all know why. Goddamn Tony Scoleri.

Timby posted:He's in-frame during the pricing scene, but he's cropped out when they first enter the hotel. With line in the library 'This ever happened to you before? No? 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

Basebf555 posted:It's just the way the movie was made. Not much to be done about it outside of a few specific shots where I think the grain could've been reduced somewhat. But that's just the overall look of the film, it's a dark and grainy holdover from a more 70s style of filmmaking versus Ghostbusters 2 which came along 5 years later and is much more slick and modern looking. Ok, wow, I've tried to pinpoint what it was about GB1 and films of that era, vs GB2. Is that it? I mean, it also feels like 2 was physically shot differently as well, had way more closeups, and also felt better lit, overall. Like, compare the meetings with the mayor in both films. GB1 feels like it was filmed in a real office in downtown, and maybe there should be a haze of cigarette smoke in the air or something. The meeting in 2 felt like it was done on a soundstage / studio, and everything is crystal clear and bright (despite it being at night). Is there anywhere where can read more about this specific kind of change/difference? I feel like Back to the Future 1 and 2 were like this, and 3 was like GB2, but I might be way off with that one.

The Cameo posted:No, that’s just what Spielberg remembers growing up in Arizona and California looking like And now it happens for real, every year!  Btw, thanks for the info about the film stock, goons! I find that stuff interesting, and it'd be super neat to see a big-budget film from the 5294 era shot in 5295. Do those exist, or did 95 just flat out not exist then? I'd look this all up, but I'm at work, and am already spending enough work time on SA.

Remember when Ray answers the phone at his bookstore? "7pm on week days, midnight on Saturdays". I'm assuming he's telling whomever the closing times of his store. Am I the only one who took this as a subtle dig at Ray, and how he likely has no life?

Just watching GB1 again and I noticed (or maybe I'm just reaching) that the ear pulling in GB2 is maybe a callback to when Peter does it to Ray before they go through with the 'get her' plan in the library.

Alan_Shore posted:GB16: once you pop, you can't stop! I don't want to necessarily defend GB2016's script (really, my only problem with it), but taking lines out of the first two and just posting them would have a similar effect. I mean, I legit laughed at Holtzman and the 'our president is a plant' line near the end. And as much as the constant riffing and over-the-top ridiculousness didn't fit, I have to be honest... I laughed at the whole 'my cat' 'Mike Hat' conversation. It was super dumb, but whatever. I found GB2016 a fine Paul Feig movie, but just a horrible GB movie.
