Well, they'll probably only get to say "gently caress" one time, so...

The haunted mannequin sequence in 2016 was probably the spookiest bit.

It was one of the only times anyone in the film (Leslie Jones!) reacted accordingly to what was happening to her character.

Reminded how ... the comics ...

I honestly thought GB2016, against all odds and evidence, was somehow adapting the 88MPH story, but with female Ghostbusters. Which they kind of did. Kind of. If the Ghostbusters hadn't known Draverhaven even existed until murdering him. Which only further legitimizes his (um... The Bellhop's?) claims that people aren't worth saving...

I feel bad for ol Ernie. Like the dudes a legit good actor who should be getting actual roles and not just popping up on Twitter or whatever everytime a new GB thing comes along begging for cameo scraps.

It's really sad seeing pictures of him at cons at an empty ghostbuster booth. I guess Morgan Freeman finally reached his "sure I'll play a magician or whatever who the gently caress cares" phase and is more affordable now?

He was really getting into the role of cantankerous police chief on APB before it got cancelled because I was the sole viewer.

He also might have a degree in History (particularly Egyptology), and be in a loving, committed relationship. Winston, arguably, has more poo poo going on than the rest of the GB combined. But all of the other prospects auditioning is an issue (or mini-series) unto itself so...

The Ecto-2 was an autogyro (in the RGB cartoon) and a modified RV (in the IDW comics). The Ecto-3 was a) some weird unicycle thing that ejected from the Ecto-1, b) a... time-jet... (since re-branded the Ecto-4) and c) a go-kart toy somehow totally separate from the Ecto-Junior that the Junior Ghostbusters drive in RGB.

Wait, isn't the Ecto-3 the boat they never used?

That's the Ecto-8 if it's still the one from the game that got them to Shandor Island.

Ghostbusters '16 isn't unwatchable, but I don't hate the idea of forcing Paul Feig to direct a shot-for-shot remake of Nothing But Trouble intended for permanent shelving as penance.

Nah. That's understandable. What really threw me is the LOTR sets. Two of the three, on the same shelf, shelved completely different from one another. Dogs and cats. Living together. Mass hysteria.

One of the previous times this discussion happened, I believe it turned out psychiatrists actually could recommend thorazine for patients around the time of production, but Dana having a sizable bottle of the stuff that may or may not require a syringe to dose is still pretty suspect. Venkman carrying some on him just by random happenstance is even more suspect. But, when given the chance, he keeps it in his pants and applies the thorazine to sedate and then not sleep with her. So... who fuckin' knows.

The Notorious ZSB posted:

I think Basebf has got it. I think there is a quality to Moranis being a shrimpy kinda smaller guy that fits the role better than the bigger John Candy would have. Not to say that Candy would have been bad, and maybe that's just my love for how perfect I think GB84 is, but I agree with the idea that Moranis is still the better pick for the role.

After I heard in the commentary that Candy wanted to play Louis Tully as German and breed Dachshunds or whatever... Rick Moranis was definitely the better choice. For as wild a normal guy as he is, and as wild as he gets to get when he's possessed, Louis grounds the film in the same way Dana does. He's weird, but ultimately harmless, and represents the normalcy that the Ghostbusters are both bucking against and trying to protect.

And like always wear lederhosen and be followed around by Doberman pinschers or something? That's really more of an SNL character than anything else.

It's an incredibly minor nitpick about an otherwise solid opening montage to a tie-in videogame but... what paperwork do the contractors/movers put in Janine's file separator on her desk? Their bills? Janine's first task coming back to work as a liaison between the general public and the world's preeminent paranormal investigators and/or exterminators is accounts payable? She's quit better jobs!

The idea that DC or the Ninja Turtles or the Muppet extended universe is going to hit the lottery a second time going “oh hey these individuals are going to team up to fight a big scary guy! Again!!!” is really really shortsighted.

Thirty years of middling results has almost scared Disney off of the Muppets, despite it being the best meta-commentary layup they ever stumbled their way into purchasing. Not getting Disney's Muppet Princesses and Disney's The Muppetvengers is a blessing.

At this point, every franchise is Space Jam.
