I totally think this movie looks rad, and fun. I love the cast, and the director has a good track record. This vingenttes are pretty strong, i enjoyed the Chris Hemsworth one when it was released a few weeks (months?) back.
The trailers have been weak, i'll admit, but the response to this movie has just been so... vile. (in general, not in reference to this thread)

It will never quite match the look of the iconic original, but I think it has a personality of its own. I think it looks good for a modern reboot.

Are we reading different threads? This one seems positive.

I read the title as "vinaigrette" and was confused.

Really doesn't look like my kinda humour.
Will still totally go see it on release day because Ghostbusters.

I like that the guy who sang "I ain't fraid of no ghosts" is the one looking kinda freaked out in the picture.

The hate to like ratio just never gets old. It is comical at this point.

Leslie Jones: "Abby is probably my favorite character because that was the character I was supposed to play until Paul decided I needed to be Patty."
Wow, Annie Potts still looks great, she has to be 60 by now but doesn't look much older than the new cast.Cast (new, old, and Ray Parker Jr.) on Kimmel tonight
John Dunbar
correct about everything
kevin is really the only thing that looks good in the movie, but maybe that's because i hate women.
i also do not like that there is a "joke" where a woman punches a man in the face.

Yeah the humour isn't really landing for me either... Science with a "y", freaking faraday cage, wontons, ghost emoji... I guess those lines were supposed to be humorous, but it does nothing for me.

In.
Is the new song available? Someone wrote Fall Out Boy but I thought it sounded like a woman which made sense in keeping with the gender switch.
I want to hear it no matter.

You made me watch it again to see if she actually said that and I somehow missed it.
Eh, I might watch a movie if the humor was all more like the jokes with Kristin Wiig's character. That was pretty decent, as was a bit of the Hemsworth stuff and one Leslie Jones joke. McCarthy is stuck doing bad Adam Sandler-level humor and ripping off the first movie.
Everything else looked really bad. I like McKinnon's character but I didn't laugh at anything in her vignette.

Nope, it looks like a janky budget fan version of the original.
it doesn't look special at all compared to the original which looked weird as hell in 80's New York.

Depends on the initial deal made in the original and if they are to get credit and fees in perpetuity. A lot of times you'll see writing credits acknowledging the original script with "based on the original screenplay..." etc...
Aykroyd, Ramis, Reitman and Murray all "own" Ghostbusters and they'll get credit as producers in some capacity, Aykroyd, Reitman as EPs. Murray probably doesn't give a shit though but he still has to sign off on it being made and produced.
Yeah, I've noticed "based on the original screenplay" before but couldn't remember seeing something like how the credits for this have it. I didn't realize they all had that much stake in it.

Ivan Reitman and Dan Aykroyd are Producers on the film.
Also, typically the writers of the original films will be credited with a "Based on the concept by..."
Yes, the one and only point of contention.
Yeah, I knew Ramis, Reitman and Aykroyd but I listened to an interview with Reitman just this morning and Murray also has an equal stake in the IP and things can only be OKd if all four were on board, which is why previous sequels and stuff never got made because they all couldn't agree on the direction. The studio, Columbia, can't do anything GB related without them.
He told a story about a previous version of another Ghostbusters movie where Venkman dies in the first 20 minutes (they wrote that because they figured thats kind of what he wanted all along) and said it still took six months for Murray to even read the script and even then he rejected it. Then Ramis died and that quieted any discussion of the original team appearing on screen again. Still, they had to OK anything else together and Murray was on board to OK a reboot with this version mostly because he doesn't have to really oversee anything and is only willing to do the cameo.
We're talking about a car from the '50s in '80s New York, and a car from the '80s in '10s New York.
Same time gap there. Same level of "alienness" to today's kids.
