Not bad, not bad….
“We’re closed.” - ( New Window )
didn't think this would be good

but that trailer actually looks pretty solid. Carrie Coon is great, so that's a plus too.
My son is 5 and has been obsessed with Ghostbusters

for 2-3 years. It's amazing how he hasn't moved onto a new obsession. He must watch that trailer 30 times a day.

For his birthday, my wife plans on renting a theater for all of us to watch it.

about things you wish you hadn't thrown out or gotten rid of from years past - I was too embarrassed to post that, for me, all my old Ghostbusters gear came to mind. I had the firehouse and the figurines and the toy proton packs - it would be fun to just have them around or pass them down to someone.

As for the trailers, I've been pleasantly surprised. I'm not all that excited about the kids angle, but Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd and most of the Old Guard members should make up for that.
Is that the kid

I'll watch it..

I wish people would come up with some fresh ideas, but I welcome these two nostalgia trips.

Go see Pig, it was great. Green Knight this Thursday getting fantastic reviews. Lots of stuff starting to come off the shelves with theaters back open.
Pig was very good and highly recommend as well

Nicolas Cage with an excellent performance.

Thanks, I'll check it out too.

Regarding Ghostbusters, neither trailer really gives any sort of "comedy" feel - that would be my one gripe.
I'm psyched  
Fat Wally : 7/27/2021 10:52 am : link
It feels balanced between a little of the old, and a little of the new. Bringing back Annie Potts to connect them was a smart move.

I love how the world seems to have forgotten about the ghostbusters, and they get to re-create them with a modern feel.

I hope it doesn't turn out like the Force Awakens, a redressing of the original movie with new characters. This at least feels like it's a continuation of the series.
Reitman directed

Up in the Air and Juno so I expect there do be darker/dry humor. I actually like the look and feel of this way more than I thought I would.
Well this will only be 100000000 x

Better than the he all women's version. Looks really good

How old was he when you showed him the original?
This is promising with Jason Reitman directing it.  
Optimus-NY : 7/27/2021 12:16 pm : link
They'll get this right this time.
Jason Reitman did a good trailer breakdown, too...

That looks actually good

Seems a bit darker than its predecessors and they pay homage to Zuul and Gozar
Well...

.. the trailer looks pretty good!
It’s the kid from Stranger Things  
Giant John : 7/27/2021 1:00 pm : link
Looks like a pretty good movie.
Forgot all about this

When was it originally supposed to come out?

July 2020 was the original release date
Nice glimpse of Annie Potts, too. (Janine)  
bceagle05 : 7/27/2021 3:00 pm : link
She looks great.
Just watched the trailer...  
PA Aggie : 7/27/2021 10:00 pm : link
I would possibly go TO a movie theater (if they still exist by then) to see this. It looks great!
