They'll resent it so much, they'll start insisting all their memories have been screwed with, even when they clearly weren't. ;) Spielberg would know- He made a modified version of ET where FBI agents holding guns were swapped out for ones holding walkie talkies. He wisely included the theatrical r...

As far as I know, the unaltered originals were last released on VHS like 15 years ago? There was a DVD release with 2 channel sound. Look up "star wars de-specialized edition" someone took the blu-ray and yanked all the crap out. Spielberg summed it up best- You can't take a release movie...

All this thread is doing is getting you on more users blacklists. I don't care. -Hint- -hint- find something better to talk about if you hate the film so much. Just passing along a link found in my morning rounds, if you don't like the contents don't click on it or even bother opening the thread.

All the references to the original movie just enraged the fans who wanted a decent sequel. And delighted a lot of other fans. No one has the monopoly on reception here. ;) It cratered in theaters, this is beyond dispute. I liked Dredd (and the one with Stallone too) which despite my fondness does n...

Naming of the topic is the headline of the linked story. That does not disproof my point, but it does disproof yours. How so? Fieg does admit that "There are so many references to the old film — there might be too many.” and "“We had to tell our own origin story and make a movie for a new...

All the references to the original movie just enraged the fans who wanted a decent sequel. I have seen "ATC" twice now; my opinion of it having a weak story and being poorly directed is unchanged. He was simply the wrong director for the job of bringing Ghostbusters back to the big screen.

http://heatst.com/entertainment/ghostbusters-director-blames-original-movie-for-flop-of-all-female-reboot/ But director Paul Feig seems to be pinning the blame on the much-loved original 1984 movie. “We had such a reverence for it,” Feig said promoting the movie at the Apple Store in SoHo, Manhattan...

TFA had gone for a more classsical look. They toned down the CGI, mixed it with practical FX and made it look the same as the practical FX. really?

I have found across the internet that typically people who really support the GB remake are the same people that say The Force Awakens wasn't a good movie, or it rehashed too much from ANH. I dislike both SW:TFA and GB2016. How many times are they going to blow up a Deathstar? 3x and counting.. SW:...

Money and the public don't create art, they just acknowledge it. And yet you disregard the public spurning GB16 in the box office. Heads you win, tails I lose. At the moment, it's that they stuck to their guns. I'd prefer the term "digging a hole" Sony didn't panic at the last minute and ...

How can anyone realistically say GB16 isn't a flop? With the logic you're using, Ghostbusters (1984) is a good movie merely because it made money. And I can't get behind that. What can you get behind then? This is a very serious question as I pointed out the other day people are trying to redefine ...

And whatever shape the next one takes, it won't be pandering to the fans who think the matriarchy is out to get them. If I may point something out- Why are you bringing this up? The movie was boring, characters fairly lifeless, jokes crass, the effects mediocre, the story arc terrible. Whom portray...

People who buy movie tickets. I coughed up $120 for tickets for Terrificon, money well spent. I would speculate that more people buy movie tickets than go to conventions. Hard core fans only represent themselves, not the public. Define hard core? I saw a bunch of average people in t-shirts and shor...

Well, heh, who do you think goes to conventions?

http://www.thedodgegarage.com/fun/gb_terrificon_2016.jpg And outside of the misery of the Internet, the movie simply isn't that hated. That is your opinion- I just spent SEVERAL hours at Terrificon at the MoheganSun Casino yesterday among several thousand people and the subject of GB16 came up seve...

I equate profit with keeping the doors open and the presses running. Which, again, has nothing to do with quality. Twitter is still running, doesn't mean it's doing anything positive in the world. Well, maybe some countries are using it as a tool of protest. That's good. But in the First World, Twi...

At the local casino here in CT, Stay-Puff is tough!

If anyone knows Tom from RI here is a picture of the two of us, please pass it along. Was from the Mohegan Sun Terrificon event this weekend.

http://www.thedodgegarage.com/fun/gb_terrificon_2016.jpg The event at the casino was great and I hope they have it again next year. It was nice bumping into a fellow "Ghostbuster" Tom from Rhode Island who also has a scratch built pack. We compared notes in between photo "sessions&qu...

Just because magazines struggle doesn't mean their articles aren't accurate. ;) You guys need to stop confusing popularity with quality. If they were producing quality, non-biased articles there would be little danger of them going under. No one takes it seriously anymore, it's just a den for troll...

Like I said, check out Time Magazine this month, the Internet is all washed up. Pardon me if I laugh, the dead tree media is washed up and going the same route as DVD sales. Down. I expect at some point Time will be for sale for a buck just like its fellow traveler Newsweek was. Doctors offices and...

I wouldn't think so, but some people seem to really be hell-bent on this $500M number Feig threw out. For a summer "tentpole" movie and reboot of a franchise I would suspect it ($500 million) would be the bare floor number. Warner Brothers is/had a fit because they stated BvS had too or w...

DVD sales ARE NOT what they were. Studios can't count on them like they use to. DVD is pretty much a dead medium on life support fit for $1 Redbox rentals and the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Streaming and digital has made huge strides the last few years, for Pete's sake I have seen Netflix apps on Wii...
