I'll say this-- the idea of anti-Ghostbusters being brought to the screen (be it the residual apparitions from Citizen Ghost or the People Busters) as mentioned in the 20 page treatment for a few pages and then completely forgot about would've been something.

My white whale. oh my god it's terrible . The salvaged good; when Ghosts do appear they seem to be of the same monstrous cloth of the scolari brothers. 10-15 ft tall ghastly apparitions. The script has 3 solid laugh lines ("Hey do you know where a guy can get a gun?") The wasteland of bad;...

I thought I'd crawl out of my grave for the fanbase victory lap and give my two cents. I've got issues with the pacing and logic leaps and blah blah blah. If I wasn't a fan I'd give the movie a 5/10. But I am a fan. This was a movie that was made for me, more accurately people like me-- people that ...

What I really want to know is where does one volunteer to draw a "B" cover for an issue of Ghostbusters since they seem to be letting anyone do it.

Alright that's kinda harsh. Not all of the B Covers. But there's been a couple that have left me going "really".

While the book is forever Dapper Dan's I'm tremendously and inappropriately excited about Evan Shaner's take on the book.

It's funny that he says Bill's rights are forfeit because he wouldn't/couldn't do it when the studio asked three times, but that the studio needs to make the film now or never because he and Reitman will move onto other things and they have rights... What's the point of having a right of refusal if...

well....isn't really "more of the same". Now we know that Uncle Murray can't hold up the production anymore, he has lost his part of the franchise'es rights No, not really. Read the quote again: "uh, I'm not sure Billy does anymore" - that's not a very definitive statement. Rega...

But hey, an idea could always occur later.

Just a shot in the dark: The OGBs (plus or minus Donna Dixon) get sucked into some type of vortex/portal/sinkhole that throws them into the Mars Attacks universe for that stand alone (read: The Real Ghostbusters). Meanwhile, an arc is going to take place in the ongoing series about Jeanine putting t...

Janosz talk here so bleh spoilers bleh. I figured his wording and dialect were some kind of latent hold over effect from his possession. In particular the wording he uses to refer to Vigo, "the living god" I believe, which isn't something (I would think) the character would say if he was t...

It's the movies, some elements from the game (the ones I felt like using in a remixed order -- cherry picked). Winston's girlfriend Tiyah from the Valentine's one-shot is mentioned later. (I've been meaning to get her on-panel.) I don't plan to contradict the other IDW books either (not on purpose,...

Two final questions though: 1) is there some official timeline for the comics available? I'd really love to have my pre-on-going GB comics in order :) 2) does the IDW series use Legion or the Tokyopop comics in their canon or only the movies and game as canon? Not the definitive source on this at a...

Oh wait I'm sorry. gb3 has to happen because dan aykroyd wants it so bad or my uncle works for harold ramis' gardener and he said that they start motion capture in two days after Ernie Hudson gets done redoing the drywall in his garage. Forgot that any realistic discussion isn't tolerated, sorry bes...

I personally get the impression that Sony isn't putting their all into getting this movie made. They could actually try hiring top notch writers since they know Murray won't sign off without a great script. Ghostbusters is a money printing press and is absolutely one of their top priorities right n...

I'd say Matt Foley but he doesn't mention anything about living down in a van. Perhaps by the river.

Then again the line "Need an ambulance PRONTO" is pretty Foley-esque.

Inflammatory dialogue is the wrong term. Maybe more along the idea that Egon will seemingly say something completely out of character-- "your mother!"-- but it somehow is his character at the same time. Anyway, its a kudos.

"Bunts are for cowards" is amazing. Egon's character trait of random inflammatory dialogue is the best.

A question for anyone that feels like answering it, pertaining to issue 8: So Eugene Visitor has been hiding at his Father's place for 20 years? Or did he drop out of time and just reappear recently? Spengler says he vanished at the scene of the accident, and reappears looking presumably the same ag...

I'm just going to re-title this issue Ghostbusters #1. Now that we're getting into "the meat" of potentials here, I'm very excited. Dan turns in probably his best artwork of the series to date, page 13 in particular. Little going on, but perfectly matches in with the look of the original f...

Its a COMIC BOOK about paranormal investigators that catch and trap ghosts. BUT you want it to be taken seriously? You're right, the original movie is so much like Airplane or Top Secret! that I get them all confused every time I sit down to watch it. Ghostbusters is truly a laugh a minute, screwba...

Sorry for "raging". I find the excessive references distracting and amateurish. It's frustrating because the opportunity is there for this property to become something legit again and its flooded with all of these constant and visually obtrusive references that, as Nonagon more optimistica...

Holy crap please stop with the references. It's getting embarrassing. Yes, Ghostbusters is a 1980s property. We get it.

Can't wait to see a Ghoulie climbing out of a toilet or a group of guys wearing "Where's the beef?" shirts.

Why not just get Edelman to piece together all the bits he reused in his other scores? When Cameron Diaz is getting chased down by the thugs in "The Mask" it's almost identical to segments used in GBII.

I liked it. Main story was good, Art was alright-- like the character designs but not a big fan of the equipment design. Really liked the look of the backup by Tristan Jones along with the bureaucratic angle. Would recommend, solid A-/B+ over all. Only complaint would be that I think there's TOO MAN...

I did dig up some of my old notes I wrote about the GBI system. Let me paraphrase some of it: --Remember that it's not a power scale. The Class VI seems to be the "odd one out" (but more on that in a moment) but remember, Slimer would be a Class V, Vigo would be a Class IV (I'm just not s...

Being of the mindset that Ghostbusters is Ghostbusters and Real Ghostbusters is Real Ghostbusters the idea of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (or whats left of him) being kept in containment is one of the few cross cannon ideas that I agree with. You could make the argument that any and all ectoplasmi...

In Comingsoon.net's snippet from their interview with Reitman for No Strings Attached he says "it's got a really good story, this one. Maybe the best of the whole series".

That's pretty ballsy talk. Balls that match those horrendous horse teeth of his.

It was his idea to bring in a new crew as far back as the Hellbent drafts in the 90s. I don't think its a stretch to think that Aykroyd holds the concept of Ghostbusters higher than the characters themselves. He wants to see it continue on past his involvement. Unless you're going to go Bond style a...

Isn't the containment unit the same tech as a proton pack just modified to form a literal grid around the holding cell? That's why space is such a growing concern in the first film because they didn't anticipate the capacity issues they were experiencing when they designed their initial unit. The am...
