Has that bottom clip been run through some AI upscaling?

I don't know. I couldn't find that full episode on YouTube anymore and that was what a Google search gave me.

as a kid I was disappointed with Ghostbusters 2. I liked the cartoon more.

I think that was most kids at the time - seeing Slimer in a friendly role in Ghostbusters 2 was probably inspired by the cartoon thinking back on it

It's something I remember perfectly. The movie starts and we see Ray and Winston and the reveal is they're working a gig at a kid's birthday party and they aren't allowed to bust ghosts anymore. I was immediately deflated. This isn't right! Why aren't they ghostbusters! They saved New York from a 100 foot tall marshmallow man! Does everyone have amnesia? WHAT ABOUT THE COCK A DOODIE MARSHMALLOW MAN



Spending the entire first act of your new movie getting your characters sorta back to where they were at the end of the last movie is the kind of sequel writing I just don't have any time for.

Can anyone explain to me why people are so obsessed with ghost busters? Its an IP ive seriously never understood why people care about so much. Guy I used to work with was serious about dressing up as a ghostbuster and going to local events as a ghostbuster.

i guess i was the key demo at the time. 1984 i was 12 yrs old and i usually went to the movies every week or two. sometimes one movie was all they played for most of the year. us kids ended up going to see Ghostbusters multiple times just because there wasnt anything else playing. as a result we got very familiar with the film and i ended up getting tired of it, but some of my friends couldnt get enough of it. its those people who become huge fanboys of this stuff.

Old man. I was 2 for most of the year, before turning 3 at the end of August.

when i turned 40, you guys were calling me an old man back then!

And I'm 42 now, making you... still an old man. An even older man at that.

Lol. Welcome to the old man club. Once you're old. You be old. We are both ancient to somebody in their 20s. When I played EQ, I was still called an old man in my guild and I was just 28-29. Damned teenagers

This was one of the worst movies that I've seen in some time.


Every beat happened not because of sense, but because of movie

gay agenda

tired lame nonsensical guest appearances

indian dude never takes any of his roles seriously - although he gave me the one chuckle of the night with his Narnia quip

I watched Ghostbusters Frozen Empire yesterday; it was good, but the last one was better and there will never be a new ghostbusters that beats the first movie. I really don’t understand why people don’t like seeing the og ghostbusters in the new movies.

Something about the film work. Pacing, angles, something is off and makes their use glaringly inorganic. Notice their scenes are almost exclusively void of the new characters. Creates an underpinning rift

makes sense. I didn't notice that they didn't have the new characters and old in the same scenes. but thinking about it now it seems weird.

sounds like a Bill Murray thing.

From what I've read that sounds very likely.

There's this one scene that Bill Murray did: Ghostly cold rushes in and he takes it in. A little thing, a good scene easily missed
