Current Events > New Ghostbusters movie trailer

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not really sure how this will go, seems a lot different from the original two movies. Which could be a good thing, at least its not a retread.

Way more excited for this than the 2016 movie though, thats for sure

You know kids can be in a movie without it being "for kids."

That's not what I mean.

Looks like Gozer is returning in some capacity and the terror dogs too.

This is already better than the 2016 reboot and this isn't even in theaters yet.

pretty dumb to be so serious and reverential about fucking ghostbusters

Neat.

Still the same feeling as the last trailer. I think the tone looks too serious for Ghostbusters. They're making it out to be this grandiose nostalgic epic return akin to Star Wars, but...it's Ghostbusters.

Hopefully it's just the trailer though.

*phone rings*

Chewie, were home.

I mean, Ghostbusters is one of the most iconic films of all time. Multiple generations have grown up with it.

Mini stay puff marshmallow men are the best lol

Also, bill Murray answering the phone at the end was such a tease lol.

You expect me to believe that 2 kids are going to fall ass backwards into all this tech and do just as well as 4 men who built and were well versed with it. Okay, sure

zoomer kids are jaded and ironic, that means they are smarter.

Yeah, but Ghostbusters is a decidedly irreverent movie. Reverence is basically impotence for Ghostbusters.

In retrospect, one of my biggest nitpicks with the original was that Mr. Stay Puft wasn't adequately foreshadowed; the bag of marshmallows on Dana's counter doesn't cut it. Even something as simple as a five-to-ten-second commercial with a cartoon Stay Puft playing in Dana or Louis's would have sufficed. As a kid I had no problem accepting it - hell, I probably owned the Stay-Puft plushie before I'd ever watched the movie - but if I'd watched it first as an adult I probably would've been 'uh, where the hell did that thing come from?'

Point being, those little Stay Pufts were not only cool in their own right, but also kinda fixed the above issue, at least in the context of this new movie. And it was a good indicator that they're not abandoning the goofy comedy elements either.

To be fair, he's painted on the wall outside the fire house too.

Funnily enough, Stay-Puft's foreshadowing is close to being on-par with the foreshadowing of the Lion-Turtle in Avatar: The Last Airbender - Aang points one out in a book for a split-second, and you can see a few statues of one in the background at Master Piandao's house. And people are (rightfully) critical of the Lion-Turtle for this reason. The only difference is that Aang actually calls attention to it (even for a split-second), while Stay-Puft's foreshadowing is exclusively background details that most viewers will miss.

Yeah, tbf, I didn't spot him on the wall on my first viewing.

I honestly never noticed this until your screencap, lol. Some things I notice right away, others can fly right over my head even after watching a movie two dozen times.

I probably shouldn't have nitpicked so much as to derail the topic though. It certainly doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the movie. It's just that as I got older, I started to think how cool it would have been watching it to already be familiar with Mr. Stay-Puft at that point in the movie to go 'holy crap it's a giant Mr Stay-Puft!' when you first see his giant head passing between the buildings, and not 'oh cool it's a...giant marshmallow man...!' and then wait for Ray to explain it.

Looks kinda bad tbh
