Ghostbusters 3: No Chicks Allowed

[Custard]

This'll be shit but better than the remake, I reckon

Don't hold me to it though

[Bad Ambassador]

It's not encouraging, is it? People complain about GBII being a retread of much of the first film, but it comes up with an interesting villain, macguffin and resolution. The second half of the film is excellent, and stands beside the first film comfortably.

Nothing in this looks terribly encouraging so far. Rehashing Stranger Things, bits people remember from the first film and naked appeals to fans of the original who were somehow disenfranchised by GB16. It won't be long before someone gets #ReleaseTheSlimerCut going.

It's been FIVE YEARS since the lady version? Blimey. That is absolutely nuts

[popcorn]

Yes, the ladies are all wizened hags now.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, GBAL wrapped filming before The Mandalorian premiered, so it's unlikely that Baby Yoda was an influence. The difference though is that he's a proper character that drives the story and motivates the central character. The mini-pufts seem to exist exclusively to sell toys.

This could be the case.  It also may not be.  The movie was delayed and they've had plenty of time to do reshoots and the likes, particularly given that the vast majority of the shots in that released clip were CG characters on a live action backdrop with no human actors in shot with them - it's not inconceivable that the studio had a CG artist render a bunch more cute little Stay Puft shots for the movie in reaction to Baby Yoda.

Even if that's not the case and the plan was always for there to be Mini-Stay Pufts and in the quantity present in the released clip, it's pretty obvious why Sony Pictures chose that cilp to release first and that reason is the Baby Yoda craze.  It speaks volumes to their priorites.  Creativity and commerce is always a balancing act in a major Hollywood movie, but the pendulum seems to be swinging way far towards the commerce side of things with this one.  Whereas the original Ghostbusters had a great balance between the two, with a stronger emphasis on creativity over commerce.  It was certainly anything other than cynically created at any rate, which is not something that can be said for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, based upon what we've seen so far.

still nothing on anyone getting sucked off raw in this one ala the first

I doubt it because they can't really market 'getting sucked off by a ghost' action figures to kids.

[Goldentony]

ive seen people get sucked off to sleep in PG rated films before

Mini-Puft reminds me of Hi-Q

Loads of the little ghosts that came with the original Real Ghostbuster figures could double-up as penis caps and anal beads and things like this. 

Spoiler alert

And were marketed as such.

This is an obvious rip-off of Yoda

well as long as it's the adult yoda it's ok, right fellas!!!!!


"he said he was eighteen m'lud!!!!!"

Can the thread title finally be changed to something less shit now that it's long been established one of the main characters in this movie is Egon's granddaughter?

That would upset the superfans.

[chveik]

can chicks bum ghosts? I think not

[Goldentony]

'GHOSTBUSTERS 3 - DEFINITELY FUCKING SHIT' is my suggestion for the update

'GHOSTBUSTERS 3 - NEITHER SUCKIN' NOR FUCKIN'

[beanheadmcginty]

They've still got time to digitally replace all those little Stay Pufts with little Phil Collinses instead. They'd be REAL Ghost Busters, wouldn't they?

I hope that you're looking forward to seeing the deep fake Harold Ramis because it's happening.  They cast the stand-in ages ago.  It's a thing.  Unfortunately.  Puppeteering the dead.  That's what they do now.  Still, won't it be heartwarming sickening when Egon waves at his Grandson from beyond the grave?  Pull the string!  Pull the string!

Finally!  An idea I can get behind!

When eighteen years old, you reach, look as fuckable, you will not.

[Custard]

The mini Stay Pufts are so cynical and uninspired that it's hilarious. It also makes no sense. Yet of course the knobheads on YouTube are lapping it up, as it's a thing that kinda recalls something they enjoyed that time in the past!!!1

"Remember that summer we got under the table?" - who talks like that?

I notice they're pushing Paul Rudd front and centre on this one, playing the character Paul Rudd, but I don't think even he will save this.

It's all so cynical, and desperate, and shit. Can't wait!

[Chedney Honks]

Hopefully this will be the first GBs film to capture the sensibility of the original cartoon, something none of the live-action movies ever managed to do.

very sincerely want to know if and how it's rewarding for any of you to track every single development of a movie that you know will be a piece of shit

[thecuriousorange]

The last Ghostbusters film had a talented cast and few lines here and there raised a chuckle. I wish we were getting a new film focusing on Kate McKinnon's character instead.

hello!


it is called a moribund transportation clinic and there is a mobile version if you want to be hooked up

I dunno, didn't Leslie Jones seem a bit on the tall side to you?

Why track Linehan's decent into madness, why detail the horrors of Derek, why talk about anything that's bad? It's just entertaining to talk about awful decisions, and discuss why they're getting made.

Perfect!

I'm unsure about that one for now Ed; if you're referring to Oliver Cooper I get the feeling he's actually playing Egon's son & the father of the new Kid Ghostbusters. IMDB lists him as playing someone called Elton. On the other hand, I won't be surprised if you turn out to be right because I can 100% see Sony boneheadedly attempting to make Ghost Egon the big emotional moment of the movie. Hell, maybe Oliver Cooper is playing Spengler Jr AND being used as a deepfake model. "Maybe it's both. Maybe both is happenin' at the same time," to quote Forrest Gump, the O.G. deepfake movie.

in the face of that very convincing equivalence i am left chastened.
