Re: I ain't afraid of no ghost week.
Maybe a return to Ghost In the Shell? There is more material he could cover.

Now that would be a clever twist o.o

Swayze was awesome in that movie, oh it was so sad what happened to him. Okay, I'm gonna go put on some Righteous Brothers music right now.
I wish Demi Moore's hairstyle from that movie would come back in fashion too. I could rock that look.

Re: I ain't afraid of no ghost week.
They explain a lot of this stuff in the "Ghostbusters" video game. Which is basically the third movie... except they couldn't get Sigourney Weaver for some reason and you can tell that there is a character that would have been her and it would have tied up all the loose ends to the narrative... But it is fine.Mabus wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:44 am I too like the second film, but after I rewatched it a couple of times, I noticed that it comes across like a collage of jokes, there is little build-up until the end, it's just not as smooth as the first film. And why did Vigo had to have Dana's baby? Couldn't he have had Janosz steal a baby from an orphanage, that way no one would have learnt about his plan? Who made that slime? How come it could have moved towards Vigo's building? At least the building in the first film was build specifically to summon Gozer. This one is just a museum, and Vigo's painting was the only paranormal thing in it.
Also, the film starts with the characters in almost the same position as in the first film, they even conveniently forgot about the paranormal (apparently Peck, after seeing a 100 ft marshmallow man walking in New York was now totally convinced that it was all a huge prank), it's like they decided to remake the first film, only without the passion the first one had.

You mean the Reagan Ghostbusters? The one with anti-regulation propaganda that sound totally ridiculous when you see again as adult, after all, they have a nuclear bomb device in the middle of fucking New York and they are use nuclear devices in their backs, and they dare to portray the one that want some oversee over their equipment like a stupid buffoon.Rocketboy1313 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 10:01 pmThey explain a lot of this stuff in the "Ghostbusters" video game.

Hell, the director admit it himself that was the whole purpose of the whole movie, he is a more well spoken version of the director of Red Dawn, with the same more and less ridiculous premise.
Speaking of Ghost in the Shell, why Chuck not do a review on the Ju On/The Grudge saga, that are clearly scary ghost, with Lovecraftian powers, they are unbeatable, unstoppable, that create a atmosphere of dread and despair, because at difference of western ghost, not matter if you resolve the mystery, try to find the unsolved issue left behind, this movies are base in the myth of the Onryo, or revengeful spirit, meaning that ones you enter in their territory you are doom, and destroying their hunting grounds wont stop the curse, only spread it to the world because they aren't bound to one place anymore.

I enjoyed it as a kid, but rewatching it a few years back, I realized the show was aimless and lacked the spirit of the old one.CrypticMirror wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 5:03 pmSame. I found Ghostbusters 2 to be fun and engaging, and I do not understand why people do not like it equally as much as the first movie.
It has some good ideas with the slime and Vigo, but they have so much time to fill that is stuff with the movie just ambling about.
A good part that sums the movie up is when the guys get back together, suit up and start running through New York as the soundtrack plays. It feels less like them being back in action and more them forming up to do something obliged of them that is required and not enjoyed.
It makes me wonder how much the cast even really wanted to make a sequel, especially Ackroyd.
