The_Doctor posted:So I’ve got the 4K Blu-ray, and tried it this evening to see how it looks. I was expecting a crystal clear vibrant picture, but drat it’s dark and super grainy. Honestly, I’m very disappointed. I have not seen the 4K Ghostbusters disc yet, but I got to say, I really appreciate when discs capture the look of film accurately instead of trying to remove film grain.

The Human Crouton posted:I just don't want to see kids at all. I don't want to see them in flashbacks, I don't want to see them in dream sequences, I don't want to see Brody Globstein hit a home run for them, I don't want them to be haunting spirits with British accents, I don't want to see Bruce Wayne's parents get shot, I don't want to see them taken hostage and have to be saved because they are so precious. When was the last time you were excited there was a sequel to a film you like that features children? None? Me neither. And yes, I hold the addition of children to Aliens against it. Edit - Ok, X23 in the last Wolverine film was kind of great.

Narsham posted:True, although at least the Real Ghostbusters gives him more focus. (So maybe it should be “Ernie Hudson is tragically underused”.) A nerdy hobby of mine and fluke chance of my friend getting asked to help Ernie Hudson led to me spending an afternoon with him. It's kind of heartbreaking hearing Ernie talk about how he auditioned for the cartoon, and was told he doesn't sound like the character. "I could have used the job at the time."

Abner Assington posted:I feel like almost every rewatch of the original gets me catching some little bit of acting that I didn't catch previously. This time around, it was Venkman mockingly sniffing the air after Ray says, "Listen! You smell something?" and the realtor mean mugging the poo poo out of Egon as he describes how the firehouse should be condemned. Huh. I noticed Venkman sniffing for the first time last night too.

I enjoyed Afterlife. Maybe not the Ghostbusters sequel I wanted, but it was fun for what it is. I really enjoyed Mckenna Grace's performance. Paul Rudd is fun. Where did the kids all get the proton packs at the end? Regarding the main plot, is it fair things could have just continued as is, for a long time, if Ghost Egon hadn't shown Phoebe the trap? After all, that intervention more or less led to the final showdown. Things that took me out of the film, Ghosts that fly along streets back to the mountain rather than taking a direct path A nitpick, but the batteries totally would have been dead on that remote-controlled ghost trap if it had been sitting in the ecto 1 "Egon Spengler can burn in hell" - not my Ray Stantz! I could buy that from Venkman or even Winston It's fine but Less CGI egon The first Annie Potts cameo is weird. She's hanging out in Sommerville just go provide exposition and then disappear completely for the rest of the film until she's back in New York at the end? Also I guess I wish Louis could have shown up and ramble a bit about Egon's finances. While most of the film looked like it was on location, Ray/Peter/Winston at the end looked like it was shot on a small soundstage and felt very boxed in and cheap

What's with that? I'm a dork and participate in some online music scenes with my favorite bands, it seems so wholesome in comparison.

My local theater recently decided to have captions enabled on every single film. Like, I'm cool with inclusivity, but I find it super distracting when the text is telegraphing things before and as they happen. So, besides covid, it's probably going to be home movies for me now too.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I finally got to see the movie! I can finally mouse over all those spoiler bars in this thread. I know it's cliche, but this probably would have made a better mini-series than a feature-length film. Could have let the family drama breathe a little bit, explored Ivan Shandor's impact on the town, maybe rope in some Gozer worshippers, and still bring the original crew back in the final episode.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Also, James Rolfe, who I normally enjoy, 'famously' refused to watch or review the 2016 Ghostbusters, but has released a review for the new one. I don't get it... Was it the reboot angle that he didn't like, or the woman one? He may just not have liked it, and didn't want to get involved in internet arguments over it. Like, I just found the whole film tedious and boring, but at the time, it didn't seem like you could say anything about it without it becoming an argument (in certain circles, anyways)

Basebf555 posted:I've always been a GB2 defender. I was born in 84 so by 89 when GB2 came out that was a BIG DEAL for me. It's always been just as important to my connection with Ghostbusters as the first film was. Same, except the last time I watched it, in the lead-up to Afterlife, I realized it just doesn't do anything for me any more. The first film is still perfection. Part 2 felt like a chore.

Basebf555 posted:That was one of my main issues with Afterlife, they turned Gozer into a somewhat standard ghost villain that the Ghostbusters can have a back and forth battle with. In the original film Gozer returning basically means game over, it's not something you really fight. The Ghostbusters only have their one, borderline suicidal, ace in the hole to play and even that uses Gozer's own portal against it. It seems pretty clear that there's no chance of actually holding Gozer in the usual proton stream or catching Gozer in a trap, Gozer is a literal god. It's like they forgot what crossing the streams even meant. I try not to be a nerd about canon, but considering they only had callbacks to one film's story, it shouldn't be hard to get right. roffels fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Feb 21, 2022 |

deoju posted:The one thing I would change out the movie is Dana's appearance. I wish she showed up at the end with the other 3. Proton pack and jumpsuit with her own name tag, to show that at some point she was a member of the team. Then Gozer is strong enough to fight off the 4 crossed proton streams this time. Then Phoebe comes up with a 5th and the rest of the movie plays out the same way. I read Weaver didn't want to be in the movie at first and that's why her scene came during the credits and was a little detached. But why though? Dana never showed interest in busting ghosts. She's a musician. Has love of art. She worked in fields she enjoyed. Ellen Ripley as a Ghostbuster? Hell yeah! Dana Barrett? Doesn't seem like something she'd have interest in. I'd rather Louis show up because at least that would be a call back
