Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

For me, I haven't liked McCarthy in anything... even Spy (Rose Byrne, Jason Statham and Jude Law were the highlights, she was tolerable up until she started to routine again of yelling lines).

I actually like Fallout Boy, but fuck... that's awful.

I wish the remake was a Fall Out Boy fan, so it would cut itself.

Boom, 2005 jokes are fresh again.

Thing I've noticed in these spots is they're making it seem like their headquarters is in the old firehouse yet we know it's in a space above a Chinese restaurant.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

I was at the theater tonight and noticed a poster for GB. What threw me off was the release date. There was none! All it said was "Summer" I checked other posters and they had a date attached to them. How can a movie so close to release not even have a date on the Poster???

Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

Sony's Ghostbusters popped up on tracking Thursday, with early estimates suggesting a North American debut in the $40 million to $50 million range over the July 15-17 weekend. The studio, which has yet to wage its biggest and final marketing push, is no doubt hoping for the higher end, considering the movie cost a hefty $154 million to make.

Funnily enough I've seen Caddyshack 2 more times than I've seen Caddyshack. When I was a kid a local video store went out of business and for whatever reason someone in my family picked it up. When you don't have a ton of movies as a kid you wind up making due with what you have, as a result I've probably seen Caddyshack 2 10 times and the original maybe 5.

All I can say about Caddyshack 2 is that at least Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray had the good sense to pass on it.

I love Caddyshack 2. It's the ultimate "My God, what were they thinking?" movie.

I don't want to quote-reply it, but that toy posted by whotony is creeping me out. Those eyes. Stare into those eyes.

I listened to this today at work after avoiding it and actually kind of liked it. Doesn't hold a candle to the original but for a "remix" type thing, I thought it was okay.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

I like Fall Out Boy, but that song is pretty miserable to me. Their song for Big Hero 6 was much better, and if they're going to sample or remix something the Uma Thurman song they have that samples the theme from The Munsters is much better

Probably an older poster before they had a release date. Blame the theater for not updating its posters.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

I hope this movie bombs next month. I only say that because the pundits keep saying that people don't want to see Female Ghostbusters, and that couldn't be further from the truth.

I loved the Original Ghostbusters as its in my 10 ten comedies of all-time, but didn't care for the sequel in 1989 with Murray, Akroyd, etc, and don't care about another sequel in 2016 with these female leads.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016, D: Feig)

I saw two trailers in 3D last night ...

The Star Wars: Rogue One (sorry, I refuse to use their silly version of the title) trailer was first. SW had lots of depth and looked beautiful. I felt as if I was walking through the Rebel hanger or down the back alleys with the characters. When the AT-ATs came on, I think I had a nerdgasm.

Ghostbusters was next. The post-convert on this looked terrible. The colors were very vibrant and some of the special effects looked pretty good, but the 3D was awful. It looked like a pop-up book with layers of flat images placed in front of and behind one another. Scenes had depth, but the objects and people did not. Had I not just seen the SW trailer, I would have thought something was slightly off on the projection. I've seen 3D that wasn't very good, but I don't think I have ever seen anything look odd like this.

Speaking of ectoplasm...
I only have 2 of my Ecto-coolers left. I found they were more tolerable when I chugged them than when I tried to "enjoy" them in a glass of ice.



But I'll never buy that shit again.

How did you get ahold of them? I've looked everywhere but no stores seems to be stocking them.
