Lol at videos being made based on 4chan and reddit posts.
Gotta get those moneytization clicks

Sad thing is there's a hella sizeable market for this garbage when it comes to this movie

Man the director was on Talking Dead and didn't get a single clap when introduced.

Yeah, i didn't knew, i just wrongly assumed it was him because of the style was similar to Rocky Balboa.

Well the way it went down, Venkman basically goaded him into it. There was no real rules around such a containment device. If Peter hadn't been a complete dick to Peck when he came around the first time, I doubt Peck would've opted to force a shut down.
But since Peter bounced him without allowing an inspection Peck went on a bureaucratic rampage.

Completely agree. We all love to hate on Dickless the clown but he was just doing a ruotine inspection. If pete wouldn't have behaved like a douchebag all the climax in the movie wouldn't have happened and they could be still busting ghost without worries.
Also, Who the fuck leaves such a dangerous piece of equipment such the containment unit without several fail-safes? I remember one of the plots of TRGB dealing with it and later equiped it with an built-in emergency generator.

They did the same thing with Fantastic Four (reporting on 4Chan rumors and clickbait news stories) long before the film finished production (they did a 14-part series on it, even), and we all know how that turned out.

Maybe it was protected via failsafes and they just assumed no one would ever just throw the main power switch.

Of course. It's not a big deal.
I've only seen Bridesmaids and the first 20 minutes or so of Spy, which reminds me that I need to finish it.

If those lines were in the original there'd be some people lauding them as being classic Ghostbusters quotes.

The director of F4 himself went public that's how we know.
For every F4 there's a million baseless rumours

It wasn't just the director. Reports of production strife started three years before the film came out, and a lot of it was backed up by insider sources. Like I said, don't be so quick to discredit a single video.
Got to see the trailer (first trailer) on the big screen in front of 10 Cloverfield Lane this past Saturday. Theater was half-packed.
Sad to say, the impressions from everyone watching it did not seem all that great...Hardly anyone chuckled / laughed at any of the jokes in the trailer. The couple behind me was like "This looks bad"
I'd love to know more about any focus tests they have...I dunno if the general public is gonna eat this up like Sony thinks they will...
And I hope they release that remix of the GB theme...

Same happened at my showing. The only laughter was when the trailer ended, but it was more "What the hell just happened?" than "That looks good." Kinda reminded me of the reaction to Genisys trailers, just not as openly hostile.

Well, in all fairness, maybe in 1984, it would have been the first time a movie had the line, "Now that's gonna leave a mark!"
There's just no excuse for that shit in the current year that it is. It's just sloppy writing. Actually, it probably wasn't written. It was probably and ad-lib from McCarthy, who has absolutely no idea what comedy is.
We'll never know.

Was that low key period joke in the original GB trailer? If not then I'm not sure it would exactly equate.
I mean jokes are typically put in the trailer because the're quick and easy to communicate and get a cheap laugh to let people know "this is a funny movie." If this hypothetical period joke were to be trailer material then it'd almost certainly be different in tone, style, context, fit than the one in the original.
I think he refers to this:
It's not a period joke, not even in the broadest sense of the word, but it's the best I could find.

I wouldn't say that, just that she is type casted constantly.

The Gozer thing would have still happened no matter what, Dana was still possessed by the gate keeper and Louis was possessed as the key master. Shutting off the containment field only sped up the process. But it was still made somewhat clear earlier in the movie that the undead were rising at greater numbers because of the impending event. Yeah, Peter triggered Walter into shutting their containment unit, but I think things were already going off the rails before that.
I remember one of the earlier episodes where the emergency power generator was failing and they had to connect an exercise bicycle to the generator and get Janine to supply electricity. But yeah, later episodes they had like hand print scanners and stuff as fail safes.

The white members of the team in the original weren't portrayed as one-sided as you might be alluding to.
Bill and Dan's characters were both silly. Ernie's was more like a sensible dude.
I guess if people want to find race issues they'll find them somehow.
Here's a quote from a little background someone wrote on Winston on the original GB's IMDB page:
"As time went by, he became the translator of Ray Stantz's long-winded, jargon-filled explanations of supernatural occurances into simple terms, that they could be understood by normal folk, usually the Mayor of New York, Lenny Clotch."

I know this comment might be a bit late here, but when I first saw the trailer...I didn't think it was terrible. I wasn't exactly thinking this movie would turn out very good, but I thought it looked alright. I think Leslie Jones' character looked like the worst part because of the stereotype loud black woman nonsense, but other than that...it looked like it could be fun.
Few weeks later, and man...I figured there would be some resistance, but the amount of hate and backlash on it, is really quite crazy I think, even to me who is usually the biggest critic when it comes to movies.

The line is actually, "Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?" and it is absolutely a period joke.
"Not even in the broadest sense of the word" what the heck, do you know what menstruating means? It means being on your period. Venkman is asking/implying that she is on her period because as we all know, women on their periods are prone to hysteria.

Interesting thing to note: the International version of the trailer was attached to Batman v Superman.. so I guess they heard the feedback on the two.
The trailer wasn't very good on the big screen though.

Tell me there will be a Ghostbusters rap.

Rolls right off the tongue.

Saw the trailer at BvS.
Theater was packed.
There was some scattered oohing at the spray-paint logo.
A handful of people chuckled at the mosh pit scene.
That was about it for response.

It was a different trailer though. Or at least, it was similar to the first trailer, but with more actual dialogue. Lots of Hemsworth. Crowd seemed a lot more receptive than the general internet reaction.

My sold out show didn't seem to care for it, either. Mostly silence throughout. The ending slap (US trailer) was the only thing that got a laugh at all. I've been assuming this would be a big hit. If that was any indication, I might be very wrong.

I'm a bit surprised no other studios are juggling their schedules to counter program Ghostbusters - Central Intelligence, War Dogs or Ben Hur would seem to be good bets to run the same weekend and escape their own sorta crowded schedule dates.
