nothing will ever be as bad as "Converse All Stars, vintage 2004."
Somewhat related, a part of me miss the times when laws were a bit lax and there wasn't as big of a stick shoved up the asses of product rights holders. Back in the 80s, you had a lot of smaller movies that took advantage of this and the result were realistic settings as you can get. An example would be how you can get a child's room that had Star Wars bed sheets, ET plushies, Legos, He-Man figures and Spider-Man and Batman comics. And they weren't product placement more than objects placed in the room to make it look more believable as the room of a child "back then"(which, as kids, a lot of us back then had all that type of stuff, so it kinda was). In the kitchen, you'd have people drinking cans of both Coke and Pepsi(again, it wasn't a brand thing, considering how big these two have competed against each other). And all the while, people aren't focusing on what they are drinking, or what is in the kid's room. It all seamlessly blends into the world. No where does someone say, "I'll take a Coke!", or the kid say, "Sometimes I let my Luke Skywalker join He-Man on adventures!". They are just THERE, to make the world more believable, and that's it(they don't beat you over the head with it). And you know what... it works! You can't get away with that shit anymore, though(not making brand use believable, but using so many different brand names in one movie without paying out the ass to gain the rights to use said names).
I am in a state of zen relaxation about this film because I don't have some weird zealous fixation with the original film
Yeah, it certainly doesn't. I've never had a problem with the look of it, in fact I think it pops quite a bit. People always complain about CGI though, even when it's good, and it's a comedy with ghosts.

FRIEND: If ya got Sunny D, hell yeah!

The international trailer is always better than the domestic.
Always.

New international trailer with new scenes. I found some of this legitimately funny. The "is it a race thing or a lady thing" is very on the nose but I think its a better trailer.
I am NOT of the mindset that the international trailer is always better, but it rings true here.
Was about to say, I was watching the international trailer again (for the last shot of the Times Square transformation) and the dislikes are still freaking ridiculous
It's pretty clear that there's some bullshit going on there, because the trailer is markedly better
Hmm, it's strange, but there are some parallels here with Metroid Prime Federation Force.
This feels like the opposite to me--films and especially TV shows were much more likely to have fake or obscured logos 20 or 30 years ago before media companies consolidated and had synergies down the line.
If you had a branded product in a film, there was a greater chance you were freely advertising someone else's product for no good reason, or just asking for trouble if the brand owner didn't like the way it was being used.
I'm sorry what?
....what?
TV shows did. Films, it depends. I seems like a lot of lower budget movies actually got away with using lots of different brand products as "set dressing" more than actual use. And I kinda believe, in these cases, the production crew didn't go out and BUY most of these stuff. My example of the children's room, I could only guess the majority of that stuff would've come from the children of the crew. Though, it DID give it an authentic feel. You go in a kids room back then, that's kinda what you'd find, be it all that, a Teddy Ruxpin on the chair(looking creepy), a Glo-Worm or Cabbage Patch Doll sleeping next to a slumbering toddler, with a Speak & Spell and Alphie on their shelf, My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, Maple Town or MoonDreamers in "Little Sis's" room, and such. Bigger budgeted movies couldn't get away with that, but lower budget ones probably did because they went under the radar.
I bet that could actually work.
Urgh, I totally forgot about Sony's baffling decision to produce an unrelated animated Ghostbuters film too.
Sony Pictures gonna Sony Pictures.
Everyone's like, "we want the next entry in this franchise! C'mon, we gotta have it, make another one!"
They make another one, starring different people than in the previous one. Doesn't seem to have quite the same feel as the previous one.
Youtube trailer dislike bar goes nuts.
International trailer is better, but I've never been that into Ghostbusters to begin with, so I probably will never see this unless invited by friends.
By the way, does Ghostbusters actually have that big of a following? The logo is awesome, and the movie and cartoon were fun, but does it have that much of a fanbase to require this movie being made?
Just noticed they dropped 4 scientists from the text and now it's friends interesting.
It was more or less up there with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for popularity in the late 80s/early 90s. Ghostbusters 2 was made largely due to the popularity of the cartoon and there was a line of toys and other merchandise that did very well.
It's part of the American pop culture, basically.
Feig has confirmed multiple times that he wants the movie to be actually scary so I'd say that's at least one thing we don't have to worry about.To be fair, the original film balanced a lot of cheap humor with serious subject matter (it's incredible at building tension then relieving it with jokes). So far, all we've seen from this are cheap gags. There could be serious material, but we just don't know if it's there yet.
For all we know, they're loading the trailers with the bad/broad jokes to throw the widest net they can since they have a massive uphill battle with this movie.The mosh pit joke was cute. Still doesn't look great. For all we know, that was one of the few jokes that worked in the film and they put all the good stuff right in the trailer.
SERIOUSLY. I was worried it was one of those "made for the trailer" songs but the international trailer has a lot more of it, including what sounds like the very beginning of the song. I really really want that track it sounds so rad.I don't give a fuck if this movie is amazing or shit
Just for the love of god release a full version of that dope ass theme song remix
I think you're really overthinking that joke. Of course they carried McCarthy away and it has nothing to do with race or gender. It's because compared to McCarthy's character she's a giant. People moved because they didn't want to get crushed.Just saw the international trailer with the new scenes. It actually did even less for me. Leslie Jones' character is just killing any momentum for me. When she jumps off the stage and falls flat, right after Melissa McCarthy jumps off stage and gets carried, and proceeds to question as to whether or not that was due to a racial thing or a lady thing, I was like - they just carried Melissa McCarthy off-stage! It made me cringe. Much like the 'the power of PAIN compels you' line.
I've just made peace with the fact that this isn't a movie i'm going to like. Thats fine. Great for people who do enjoy it though, more power to ya.
Good point. I liked the TV show well enough, but TMNT was my jam.
I hope this is a good movie and that it finds an audience. Reading the YouTube comments to this trailer is just disgusting. Nothing but people dropping terms like "feminazis" and talking about political correctness in an angry way.
I honestly wish folks would take the stance of just ignoring the damn thing if it's not their cup o' tea.
You can blissfully live your live ignorant to the fact that this film exists and it no way tarnishes the original film's quality or significance.
I feel like everybody would be better off if more folks did that.
I completely forgot to mention that I was SUPER excited to hear Hemsworth's accent after initially feeling like I wanted to wait on watching the international trailer (or not watch it at all). So many of his roles have him doing an American accent of some kind that it gets boring :/ I loved hearing it on SNL so I'm glad we'll get to hear it in this movie, too!

but a ghostbuster movie with everyone old would NEVER have the same feel as the original
