Ghostbusters 3 is a go! (according to the writers, director and producer)

[Dave Ward]

When the Ghostbusters do a better job at being scientists when dealing with the super natural than the scientists in Prometheus dealing with potential alien life, it's not worth much thought.

Wait, what? We're grading stories now based on the competance of their protagonists?* That puts the original Pink Panther (and Hamlet, come to think of it) in the "turkeys" category.:lol


*as always, don't mind me, I'm being a *******.

Man, if you hate that, don't ever go near one of those "book" things, they make you do all kinds of work and stuff in your head. :lol

Wow, not only is that totally not the same as a movie, even in a book you STILL get a story given to you when reading a book that you don't have to make up for ****ty writing! :lol

And for your information, I've read probably a good 3,000 pages in the last couple months reading the "Game of Thrones" novels.

I miss this series. I wish it was on Netflix.

I know, I know, I was just being contrary. :lol

I will say this, though. Fact is it is perfectly possible to have a film that tanks on the level of character and action, and still works beautifully on the more subtextual levels. It's not either/or, especially when there are multiples hands involved in the development. And if folks aren't interested on reading a film on a deeper level, that's fine too. It's a free country.

I do too. I remember waking up super early on Saturday mornings, pulling out all of my Ghostbusters toys to play with while I watched. Those toys were awesome, wish I still had that firehouse.

Also, interesting bit of trivia. Lorenzo Music, the guy who provided the voice for Peter Venkman, was also the voice of Garfield in "Garfield and Friends". Bill Murray provided the voice for Garfield for the two live-action films.

I love that there's a scene in the animated series where they explain why the uniforms have changed.

You can buy the complete series on DVD!!! Sadly, it has the ones where they put Slimer on as the main character, but still has the excellent JMS stuff in the first few seasons. I get out the DVDs every so often!

I heard there was a great Halloween episode, is that right?

There are a ton of episodes on YouTube.

The Real Ghostbusters - When Halloween Was Forever - YouTube

Samhain!

 

[MooCriket]

Samhain was pretty scary for a children's show. Loved it!

 

[Kerr Avon]

There's so many GREAT episodes. TONS of them. The episodes with the Sandman, the Grundel, the Pillar under the city, the Marduk/Tiamat, the Collect Call of Cthulhu, the Thing in Ms Faversham's Attic, Ragnokandroll .. oh my god, I could go on. It really has some FANTASTIC mythos developed.

 

[JoMamma_Smurf]

I loved the grundel and the boogieman. They were pretty dark for a kids show.

 

[CB2001]

I know a lot of people like The Real Ghostbusters, but how many here have seen or enjoy the Filmation's Ghostbusters?

I hadnt ever seen that show...

 

[JMChladek]

I loved some of the quotes from Real Ghostbusters...

Egon: (checking containment unit with Peter) Magnatron capaciter...

Peter: Check, check...yawns...all check

Egon: Okay... Transwarp Drive? (looks to see Peter nodding off)

Peter: Check

Egon: Ah HAH, we don't HAVE a Transwarp drive!

Peter: Then if we don't have it, then it can't malfunction. If it can't malfunction there is nothing wrong with it. If there is nothing wrong with it, it's in check.

Egon: (Pauses while pondering the response) I'm not going to speak to you for at least a week, it's bad for me.

Classic!

 

[Jeyl]

Egon: Okay... Transwarp Drive?

A good thing that it didn't exist, or else they'd turn into horny lizards.

 

[MooCriket]

:confusedWas there something else where transwarp drive was used? I just remember Sulu talking about transwarp drive when talking about the Excelsior.

Re: Ghostbusters 3 is a go!

They'll get Don Cheadle to replace Winston.

ZING!!! I smell a pile of suck... Maybe unless they have a TON of cameos to make it ridiculously fun I think it'll be retarded.

There was uh... *clears throat* ....an episode. Here's the apology.

 

[benhs1898]

Well, over a year later, does this appear any more or less a go than last time I checked in here?
