The Ghostbusters Thread

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I love both of the originals in their own way. I really do not like one more than the other, but that's just me. I went into this trailer with an open mind, and the opening shot was kind of cool with the spray painted logo, but it all fell apart after that. It honestly just feels like Bridesmaids with Ghostbusters costumes. I'm sick of the whole all female cast controversy nonsense. It really comes down to the writing, and the direction... It's been proven even the best actors/actresses can only work with what they are given, and even having an all female cast that is has a pretty good track record cannot save this. The Exorcist scene made me roll my eyes... how many times can this cliche joke be used in a film? The CGI looks like something ripped out of The Haunted Mansion for fuck sake. Of course this is just opinion, but I cannot stand the entire cast with the exception of Kristen Wiig. The end of the trailer was just awkward, and was not funny; not a good way to end it at all. One aspect I did like was them showing off different weapons and gadgets when they were fighting.

"30 years ago, Four Scientists saved New York"... Wait.. is this the third installment? Or is this a reboot like I thought it was? And one last question, was it ever touched upon in the older films if Ernie Hudson's character was considered a scientist? This all confused me.

Besides the appearance of Slimer and the Ecto, I barely cracked a smile here.
