Justin beiber and Selena Gomez as Wiley Kit and cat!
(Just wanted to see if Neil's head would explode)
don't GIVE THEM IDEAS... ;o).......
THey ALREADY tried to make an animated series where the thundercats where a human rock band on modern day third earth that changed to alien animals when the sword came into play. that's 500 times worse than anything bay or feig is trying to do ;o).
Nuetering Mumm-Ra in the new series was bad enough. why does an evil magician need wings to fly? and WHY is he a magician when he has a technology filled advanced spaceship? other than the fact that lore needs him to be a magician?
the logic....the lack of logic.....head...exploding...talking...like shatner! BOOOM!

I also anted to address this quickly, since I saw something interesting at another message board.
Apparently one of the guys who did the Game a few years back said they had no plans to include gozer, or stay puft in their game. It was someone at sony who insisted on it.
back then, it turns out that WAS the right route to go, because it gave us a real ghostbusters three with a plot that came full circle back to the events in one....yet had enough new stuff in it to expand the universe even further. Peck and Pecock (?) for instance. making Shandor the big bad and getting a small insight into a character that was only briefly brought up in part one. expanding winston a little....further developing the packs beyond the slime blowers...
here....someone at sony, amazingly, had enough smarts to realize 'what this feig guy is doing will destroy what's left of this franchise if we let him go unchecked'.
So, hence we get a relatively unchanged slimer in terms of looks. a Stay Puft homage. cameo's from the original crew to try and sell it on false nostalgia for those who don't follow the behind the scenes stuff like we do(and to make it look like bill murray and dan aykroyd approved the idea from the start)... and hack job packs/ecto 1 that KIND OF resemble what we know, but are too hodge podge to be what we know.
The rest of Feigs stuff seems relatively unchanged since his initial sales pitch in the leaked email.
I don't think this is sony being swayed by negative feed back, so much as them trying to save a lemon once they realized what Amy Pascal got themselves into. hence wanting to try a go at tatum busters not more than a few months after the feig announcement.
I think fan swaying had more of an effect on bay turtles more than on feig busters. I think the guys at nick genuinely love the franchise and want to see it succeed, where as the guys at sony have no Freakin' clue what they are doing, or how to make movies.

mine went up a little too..but it's not because of online stuff ;o).
I have ocd, stress and anxiety, so i'm surprised it's just going up now ;o).
In other news, if Ernie knows something we don't...
Dear Sony....how much I hate you. let me count the ways.....
And LOLing at this comment in the top part of the article. I g uess sony IS TRYING to play down the sexism angle on their end.
this sounds like just a complete180 from what hes said since the start lol..

again, apologies for being the only one still left posting...
I'm trying not to flood it, but here is another interesting one that at least SOUNDS real.
warning, possible spoilers...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/board/thread/254246292
Again, it all sounds so generically bad.....this one either confused dan aykroyds character with bill murray's or dans was reshot to not bea cab driver.
If they truly are trying to get input this late in the game, it must really be in trouble.

i didnt read any of the spoiler links, but is ernie confused in the post? or is there something else in the works, i remember reading they wanted to do another GB film even though the girl GB movie was still in the works, is that still a thing or is that idea dead?
... if its not dead it probably will be once the reboot comes out :facepalm

I think that tatum thing is dead on arival. especially after this thing bombs.
the poster in the link above posted the bill murray cameo scene.
if all his info is true, all I have to say is UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH......
Another example of feigs 'men bad, women awesome' agenda.
they also posted that the new theme song is going to be sung by some 'unknown' women pop group.

I don't know why you'd believe the ramblings of a random guy on IMDB.
I mean, yeah, some of the stuff corresponds to the leaked info that's been out for a while, but a lot of it sounds like BS to me. If it's real, the film sounds truly terrible and very hit-you-over-the-head-preachy, but I guess we'll see.

I dunno about that,
but heh.....
This guy who posted this info that reads like it could be legit has been getting attacked by the trolls on the board. he posted this this morning..

lol. I am 90 % certain that this post is sarcasm. BUT...there is enough in there that is so over the top rediculous, yet it still sounds like something feig would do in one of his movies (get rid of all the men in the world) that I can't bring myself to totally disbelieve it ;o).
ugh...one more day to get through tomorrow...then we get to see how bad this thing is..but even a bad movie can have a good trailer...
I dunno, you occasionally see some truth online, and enough of it adds up to what we've confirmed more or less so far. I find it fun to see who's right and who's wrong ;o)...
but heh.....

oh well, regardless of what is true or not, we've got two more days of insanity left before we get a real look at this thing.
it's still fun to see...you never know when you might hit a real internet gem.
heh, folks used to think those internet posts about brannon braga and jeri ryan dating where false too until it was confirmed at a con ;o)...

This is slightly off-topic, but if you guys want to see the classic GBs on screen again, this is your only bet.
I've seen footage, I've seen material-- this thing is going to be incredible if the KS goes through. It's a darn near comprehensive look into the making of the films we love. This isn't going to be another regurgitation of Making Ghostbusters or the Cinefex articles. This is THE MOST intense, in-depth look at the production of GB and GB2 we've ever seen-- with killer production values to boot.
How many fans here have complained about the lack of decent supplemental DVD/BR material? How many fans have dropped hundreds, if not thousands, on merch and props? Let's get this thing funded! :cool

yeah, with only 6 days to go, it'd be a ddamn shame if they don't get this out there.
I REALLY wanted that signed cast license plate, but I couldn't afford to plunk down that much money on yet another kick starter. $400 for MST3K was my limit.

9AM tomorrow, apparently.
a year worth of bashing this thing. a years worth of putting up with the stuff we can't mention in this thread. a year worth of even sony questioning their own decision...even more so now thatthey have a finished product...
May we have every hope it's what we dread it to be, and even the supporters start to doubt themselves..
