Black goop. That is the single thing Prometheus adds.

The only black goop that matters to me is in the XFiles.

The Hobbit as told by Bilbo Baggins...

Its my favorite book of the series. To see it butchered like that wounded my childhood

His other female centric-movies are great like Bridesmaids. Wasted opportunity not having Melissa McCarthy play a Venkman-like character. She has worked with Bill Murry before.

No Venkman. No Stantz. No Ghostbusters.

Pretty much the polar opposite of the movie "Basic" then.
What a confusing cockfest that was.

No it doesn't. These are individuals in their own movie and there's nothing lost by not having seen the original.

No she doesn't. She's like a dreadful Jim Carrey rip off or like Jerry Lewis minus the timing, talent and writing.

I don't think I could disagree more. I'm actually angry at how bad she is.
She's the single worst part of the movie and the least funny by a long shot.
Obvious and completely unnecessary low brow garbage is her sole contribution.

Low brow can be hilarious when the likes of Wiig or McCarthy do it because they are actually talented but what the fuck was the director thinking using this woman? She's fucking terrible.

The only woman in this that's nearly as funny as either of the two leads is the woman playing the Mayor's assistant. I'm not sure how she can be in such a small role in a film where two of the main four are completely unnecessary or horrible miscast.

You know what? I wish Kate McKinnon was dead!

*harumph*

Now I feel better.

Disagree. There was zero developement for Mckinnon's character. You are expected to pop when is shown in the background as if this is a meaningful thing.


Same for essentially every one of the main 4. It's simply "Oh hey its binkman. Cool."

Seanny One Ball 03-17-2017 01:51 PM

There's a big difference between a film where the characters are under developed and one in which you have to have seen another film to understand who they are and what's going on.
I have seen the original and it gave me no noticeable additional information that I needed but didn't get from this new one.

Yep you were expected to pop because she's Egon with Attitude You are expected to pop when Patti comes on because she's Winston with Attitude.

Not so much for the other two. Who was supposed to be Peter and who was supposed to be Ray?

It failed because it was a half measure in every possible way.

This movie grows on you...like cancer.

Swiss Ultimate 07-12-2018 10:35 AM

Can't believe anyone liked this movie.

Destor 07-12-2018 10:39 AM

they didnt

Lock Jaw 07-12-2018 12:37 PM

I thought it was alright

Destor 07-12-2018 12:37 PM

you're dead to me

Frank Drebin 07-12-2018 12:53 PM

It was pretty bad but you can't say that in public.

SlickyTrickyDamon 07-12-2018 01:30 PM

I don't know why this thread was brought back. The movie sucked but Ecto Cooler was fun being back until they shitcanned it.

The Real Ghostbusters cartoon is now Netflix Streaming and the 1984 movie is back there now.

Let this movie die as it already is dead. It's not coming back as a ghost to bust either.

No, because the movie was like from two years ago and it's common knowledge that it sucked.

Swiss Ultimate 07-15-2018 09:49 AM

Everyone involved should be executed.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-26-2019 11:35 PM

I watched an extended version that wasn't as bad as the original cut. They took too much out.
