Still looks bad and they continue to ###### on the originals even more. The whole bit with the logo..

 

Gotta love the feminist agenda being pushed, too. They couldn't make it any more blatant. The women are the heroes and the big strong man (who they are portraying as an idiot, too, looks like) is the helpless secretary.

On previous trailer that criticized by ghostbuster fans as "idiot-writers-who-did-not-properly-research-what-ghostbuster-really-was",
it said: 30 YEARS AGO FOUR SCIENTISTS SAVED NEW YORK
 
The fans quickly pointed out opening intro text are incorrect, among the original four of Ghostbuster team, only three of them were scientists,
and fans use that fact to said that the writer of the New Ghostbuster (2016) indeed someone who did not watch the original properly.
 
So they changed the Intro text (0:07) on the 'new' trailer, now it said: 30 YEARS AGO FOUR FRIENDS SAVED THE WORLD

ACK Comic Sans :pinch:

 

Good point though, if you're going to destroy a movie franchise at least do some research on it!

which one ? ;)

the latest one lol, i actually mostly enjoyed it, but suddenly it looks a bit better now. compared to the horrors in the gb trailer.

 

would've been better if they just left out the whole 30 years bit...as it makes it sound like a sequel. yet the original actors in this play completely different characters right?

 

or maybe it secretly is a sequel and they changed their identities? but then what happened to ghosts? hauntings took a break?

 

massive fail on the trailer opening scene..

 

if i'm correct, Dan and *mr not funny anymore cameos haven't been revealed yet right?

 

 

*bill murray, made the mistake of watching lost in translation several years back and didn't find it funny. i miss the old murray.

think the only kinda amsuing bit he's done since  was the tree scene in get smart.

For what it was, it was a decent movie. I mean it's a super hero movie...

just took a while to get to the good stuff, it started off way too slow. also i think you could compare this doom to the guy in the force awakens, as in not that threatening, i found doom in the other f4 movie to be more menacing.

 

younger actors don't always been better characters.

 

back on topic...

 

does anyone know dan and murray's roles yet in this? or did miss that info..

The trailer gives me me very mixed feelings.

 

one one hand, the ghosts look great, BUT that's also the problem.  They look too good, in a very uncharacteristic statement from me, There's too much CGI and the CGI is too good. it doesn't look like ghostbusters. 

 

The old classic animatronic and film trick ghosts had a feel to them that made them seem "realistic" in their way. these just look like really awesome CGI. and not the nice gritty real ghosts of ghostbusters. 

 

on top of that. the trailer gives the whole story away, and the whole story is basically a line by line retelling of the original movie. down to the token black "guy" and "his" role. 

 

They simply replaced the characters with women and placed it 30 years in the future and apparently everyone forgot that ghosts even existed in those 30 years... smh.... why... 

 

I'll watch, it. but it's definitely not going to be a classic. 

It's a bit like an explosion in a neon factory.

Still looks like ######. I also think they couldn't make it any less funny if the tried, which is quite an achievement after how bad the first trailer was.

Best part is at 2:13.  Already at 38K dislikes ... 8K likes.

 

This might be a fun movie to watch really drunk...and I mean blackout drunk...so you don't remember it.

Only time will tell how it turns out at the box office, but one thing's for sure, if it does bomb, hard, no studio is going to bother doing this again, for any reboot/respin w/e.   Maybe that'd put an end to Paul Feigs crazy ideas of reboots.

Such cheap, predictable jokes. That was actually painful to watch. That's the best they could find to put in a trailer?

I find the whole reboot of this with 4 females to be a joke. Such an iconic movie being destroyed by Hollywood. :cry:

It's the effects of the ghosts that get me. It's like an explosion in a neon factory!

I'll reserve judgement till it is actually released but it doesn't look like something i'm going to rush out to see.

The sad part. if it's like every other trailer in the universe. this IS the best parts of the movie, maybe even the only "funny" parts...

I'll be shocked if the critics give this high scores of any kind.  I expect RT to be in the 40s and lower, if it's up over 50% then I don't know what they're smoking.

I don't know what it is but Bill never seems to care or want to be a part of any Ghostbusters projects, events, w/e.  I'm actually shocked they even got him to voice act for the game, or even show up at all in this movie.

    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
