I don't like it, just something off with it IMO. 

 

I can probably tell you what it is. The original Ecto-1.. the equipment was intergrated with the car and there was a lot more equipment up top with blue lights. It had a lot of lights and strobe lights. This really adds to the bulk of the car. Also the ride height wasn't that high with the Original Ecto-1. 

 

Here is a picture for reference to the old girl.

This is really my feeling toward the entire movie. The target audience isn't fans of the original films. They're essentially giving a giant middle finger to the fans who actually want even a remotely decent film, "screw you fans! We would rather make crap, cause we're Hollywood, and crap is what we do and you morons will still pay us millions to make more crap!" :angry:

"Ghostbusters reboot movie made $10 million on opening weekend, making it the latest in recent box office flops. However, in the same weekend, sales for the original Ghostbusters on Blu-Ray and DVD went through the roof, sparking a shortage in inventory as the studios struggle to meet demand"

Who on earth would look at that and think "yeah, we nailed it, that's a good re-imagining of their car".

 

The original is an awesome looking classic car tricked out with all kinds of gadgets on it. This is a station wagon with some lights and junk on the roof. Its an ugly abomination.

As much as I'm a fan I'm really not expecting this to do well, they'll fill it with comedy and try to draw in people that way but I don't think it'll work.  I hate to say it but I hope it flops at the box office, maybe then they'll stop trying to redo everything that saw success in the 80s and 90s.

I'm usually the first to say "let's wait and see what happens, it could be awesome, we just do not know yet!" but i'm going to break habit here and say... this looks devastatingly bad.

First up, i'm not a fan of the cast. I've nothing against casting women in the roll, hell it could have been interesting. However i just don't find these women particularly entertaining on screen. Maybe this will be change that, i just don;t know.

Secondly, the set and prop design seems to be slap dash. Everything looks kinda weak, from Ecto 1 right through to the uniforms. It's like GB went public sector.

If they wanted to reboot with a new cast, then they could have done it so much better. They could have had the old Ghostbusters semi retired, very little ghost activity (yeah, very GBII i know) and needing to train up young blood as things suddenly start to get hectic again (you probably notice i'm not a screenwriter :p ).

Any way, for the sake of having something decent to watch, i hope this tuns out to be awesome, but i'm seriously having doubts.

"They'll fill it with comedy"

 

Really? They ARE comedies.

 

All of these women are proven commodities in comedies and the 3 from SNL are really funny, the special FX will obviously be better than the originals, why not just wait and reserve judgement until you actually SEE the film instead of passing judgement based on 4 overalls and a car?!?

 

Heath Ledger proved that pre-judging a performance/film is pointless.

I'm not saying it's not a comedy movie, it is, to an extent, I'm saying they'll just push it out as any other generic comedy you'd see each year and try to draw in people who would otherwise not care about a ghostbusters movie. 

 

I'll give you the whole Ledger bit, I agree but you know what, that was Nolan, and it was a batman film and it was also not a comedy.  Are these ladies funny, that depends on each individual, but taking funny people and slapping them in a comedy movie doesn't automatically guarantee success.    I have my own reasons for not wanting these respins of classics not to do well, and others would agree, maybe Hollywood would stop this trend and give us something new if more of these projects flopped.

Actually, any one of us can judge what we've seen so far. Yeah it doesn't mean we know what the movie is going to be like in the long run, but i'm perfectly entitled to say that those props and costumes are terrible looking, and i don't find any of the cast particularly entertaining.

Simple. Don't watch the film.

 

I'll watch and enjoy it for what it is, the original film was great, the sequel was dreadful, one of the cast/director is dead and the rest of the cast are not interested in making any more Ghostbuster films so this is the only film we'll get. I enjoyed the previous appearances of the new cast so I'll probably enjoy this without pre-judging it based on a completely different film and completely different people.

So because what i've seen so far doesn't fill me with hope, i shouldn't watch the film? I'm sorry, who made you the god of film? No one.

The point of forums and these threads is for people to discuss what we know about films so far, my observations are the props and costumes *currently* look like crap, and my personal opinion of the cast is that none of them entertain me much in other things i've seen them in.

At what point you decided this had anything to do with you, i just don't know.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
