2021 Ghostbusters: Afterlife

[Kamandi]

I don't dislike the kid thing because clearly I'm not the target audience. My teenage girls thought the trailer was great and they watched the originals a ton of times when they were little. It's for them. I can live with that.

I was struck by how different the tone of the film seems from this glimpse. It looks emo and downbeat. Jason Reitman seems passionate about the film but so far the connective tissue is the props and the car.

Ecto 1 in a field isn't as dumb as horses on a star destroyer.... but this should've been in NYC.

"Nobody has seen a ghost in 30 years" And just like that Gurrlbusters is retconned away. I'll give them a point for that.

The fact that I didn't even think about Girlbusters during the trailer proves this point.

*Watches trailer* Sees the black fade to white "Next Summer". Okay yeah... this trailer was copy paste The Force Awakens shot for shot. Like I was half expecting with the music to have Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd come in at the end with, "Ray, we're home..." < Least that would have been comedy gold to give some light to this trailer.

There's so much going for this movie it DOESN'T FEEL Ghostbusters in the trailer at all. No upbeat, no humor, Ghostbusters was in fact a Comedy Sci-fi 80's hit. THIS is too much Mike from Stranger Things, being Stranger Things with Abrams Super 8 and Paul Rudd being his Ant-Man dumbfounded "what's this do!?" push a button self.

And again... hey let's go find the mysterious cave with ghosts and make kids center field. $5 says original cast come in last minute with some cheesy one line of, "You kids need some help?". This movie direction is bad because again, we're not focusing on the love for old characters we're being thrown completely new ones AGAIN.

It is so hard for the original cast just to be retiring there thinking s*** is fine and then original cast think something is up with the town, THEN throw the kids in there to help the original cast. WHY on earth do the Original Cast NEED to be supporting actors... because that's what they'll be...

This will probably be the first motion picture that has the boomer meme in it.

Oh God. I thought that was a joke. Well, I guess it is.

Pick the dumbest story idea:
1) teenagers tearing up a wheat field with a car
2) riding space horses across the hull of a star destroyer
3) teddy bears destroying imperial heavy armor with logs
4) Jar Jar Binks
5) Carl the interior designer Terminator

(6.1) Casting Tea Leoni as the wife of Bill Macy in JP III. That always threw me off.

Talking over with my buddy who consumes all the 80's retreads that are fed to him. I could accept this better if it was an A-Team sequel. The grandkids of Face find BA's old dilapidated van and tear through the small town and shooting it up with their Rugers. Actually I would rather see that flick.

I mean it's no different.

Do the kids know about crossing the streams?

Plus the kid hopping into the Eco that has sat for 2 decades and had enough juice to power on everything and gas that was prolly purified. Sure....

They all had small nuclear accelerator on their backs. The car probably has a nuclear reactor.

Movie magic science...

 

[Snake Plissken]

The title of that should of been Dr. Grant & the Island of Assholes and Lizards

 

[RIDDICK]

The sequel I wanted has already happened, many years ago.


Unfortunately, as with most cartoons of that era, it ended on nothing.
The franchise has been dead to me ever since. RIP

Forget the original team coming back, we need this to happen.
