If people want a Ghostbusters 3 that we never got, I recommend the PS3 game from 2009 or so. Dunno if it ever got remastered or anything and it probably looks dated now. Maybe there's a PC version. In any case that game was a great "GB3" and had the original cast (including some of their actual VOs). Plus it's playable.

Afterlife was a good movie and full of wistful nostalgia for the originals. They certainly earned my ticket buy for a sequel. Don't know why people are dumping on this one. I'm sure it's fine.

No, but there was this weird Ghost + Person lesbian relationship forming. Girl power!

Hah we asked each other this last night too after the movie.

I thought it was a fun movie. Kept my attention the whole time. Kumail was pretty damn funny in this. The big bad guy was a bit lackluster. Did not enjoy the CGI for Slimer.

I agree. And through that whole almost lesbian encounter, we learn that women cause the problems then somehow fix them. I guess?

It actually had a graphics rerelease back in 2019, and IMO is probably the best Ghostbusters related thing since the original movie:

The villain was pretty pointless, but I still enjoyed the movie for what it was. A brainless popcorn flick.

The motorcycle they rode in the beginning had the license plate of ECTO C, which made me think of Ecto Cooler, the Hi-C drink.

I never watched the last one and I doubt I'll waste the time with this one either even if they're on Max or something. Rather just rewatch the original if the mood suits me.

I didn't watch 2016, the last one, and don't plan on watching this one. Gaze upon the lands where my fucks groweth, for they are barren.

2016 was the female Ghostbusters abomination. The first with Ant-Man was Ghostbusters Afterlife in 2021.

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 imagine the same reason people are really into Star Trek or Star Wars or any fandom really. They just really get into shit and enjoy it considerably whether it be the characters, or the story ,or the world, or really any number of reasons.

The first film was a masterpiece. Had top notch comedic actors, incredible timing and pacing, successfully blended comedy and horror, had great special effects for the time, and was just a fun adventure. It also had a lot of lore to it and the obvious ability to have endless expansion to that lore, which often seems to be a key component to the obsessive fandoms.

It was also a monster success so tons of people (especially kids) were exposed to it -- it made more money than Empire Strikes Back or Raiders of the Lost Ark in their original releases, as a comparison. That's a lot of potential lifelong fans.

None of the other films ever really came close to approaching that zenith but I guess by then it already had its hooks in.

Ever after all these years I find it amazing that a movie adaptation cartoon tie-in cash grab toy commercial had people that gave this much of a shit -





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

It's a movie.

That's about the best praise I can come up with for it. I should have seen Kong instead. I'd probably say the same.
