Bob Gunton? Is that the reason why he showed up at Fan Fest back in 2019? U think Lou Ferrigno is in there as well, albeit teeny tiny cameo?

The full video is a little over a minute, but this unused shot of Phoebe is only .9 of a second long. She's looking at the wand and blinks, as the camera does a slight leftward movement around her.

Really threw me when it didn't!
Loved that Sigourney Weaver apparently only does endings for GB movies now. heh heh.
So when they ended on the shot of the Containment Unit, who else thought the dock would open and Slimer would fly out? lol. I think the square red button being on only meant the the entry grid was set (then you press the middle one to neutronize the field then push the lever down, then the bottom square button and and caged light above the unit go green). And then when the grid was shut off, that red square button came on but didn't blink, it was also a solid red, in this end tag nor did the alarm go off. So if the former, is it a metaphor for the franchise going in a new direction now that Winston is reviving it (entry grid set=new path in life set) or the latter, alluding to the unit faulting and releasing the ghosts in it?
And I only had 2 nitpicks about the movie: Shandor didn't need to be in the movie and his inclusion in it was overly gratuitous. And I didn't care for how the voices of Gozer and the Terror Dogs, when they were in possession of Gary and Callie, sounded.

Only a few social media site's did that size. Facebook and Tik Tok?
I can say however that it was in my archive sometime before October 22nd, because I used it in a recut of the trailers that I uploaded (again in an Unlisted setting) the same day as the HasbroPulse clip of Phoebe testing the pack first became available.

But I would've loved it if the whole town was part of the cult, I first thought Sheriff Domingo wanted to stop the kids from defeating Gozer, I really liked that idea.
- the fire house starbuck/post credits scene contradiction is just dumb
- Ray Stanz is not written right, I don't recognize him, Dan drinks too much vodka..
- Bill Murray is not emotionaly involved like the others OGs in this Movie
- lack of ghosts in a movie about ghosts ..
- Ivo Shandor 2 secs screen time , I mean come on ..
- Olivia Wilde as Gozer ... meh
- movie feels rushed and the editing is weird, like we are missing alot of meaninful scenes, bluray better be good
- not enough Paul Rudd
- Trevor and Lucky poorly written
- Gozer and Terrordogs all over again boring, should have made Ivo Shandor fusing with Gozer the vilain
- Almost evering interesting scenes are in the trailers, clips but shame on me for watching them
- Mini Puft should have come from stay pufts marshmallow man residues Egon collected and kept in his lab after they defeated him
-Egon took everything but the OGs arrives full equipped ... ?
- No Louis Tully
- No slimer ( should have shown him haunting Ray's occult book shop ...)
- No big baddy for the final battle
positive:
Liked Muncher's chase
Liked Egon's ghost interaction
Liked Phoebe and podcast
Liked Winston scenes
Liked every scene Paul Rudd is in
Jason may have the heart but lacks the skills of his father

And that looks like the time of Trailer 2 when they first showed those shots of them going into the mine, right?

I guess so much expectation over such a long time really affected my first viewing. Plus, immersing myself in GB stuff so much everyday since I started my little business probably didn't help make the film's shift in overall tone as easy to accept.
It didn't take away the issues I have with the script, but they weren't as jarring to me as before. I also found the whole movie considerably funnier and pacier for some reason.
I actually now realise that repeating the Gozer stuff in the way is does was actually a fairly clever thing, bearing in mind Jason and Gil needed to re-introduce the lore of Ghostbusters after 32 YEARS. Doing that in a sequel, as opposed to a remake or reboot, is no mean feat when they clearly need to appeal to newcomers to the GB as well as established fans. Now the franchise is finally free to continue without the constant callbacks and over-reliance on the past. And that's something really exciting.

Hmm, it's still advertising Summer 2020, so it has to be between December 09, 2019 and March 30, 2020 before the date was changed to March 2021. I think.

That was great.It probably wouldn’t have worked for a whole load of reasons but having Shandor absorb the power of Gozer and become a demonic vessel / physical manifestation for her would’ve allowed for a slightly different visualisation of the character compared to the first film. Could’ve played out exactly the same way except instead of Olivia Wilde you have JK Simmons with red eyes doing a menacing lightning walk. I would’ve liked that anyway, no offence to Gozer.
Just wished he didn't have to split.
GhostbustersZorge wrote: - Why do the OGs just casually try to cross the streams on Gozer ? In the first movie they did it to reverse the particle flow through the gate and therefore close it. Here they just want to blow everything up or what?It's not so much "What else could they do?", I chalked it up to the OGBs being a little over-confident. Bill Murray actually does a good job of wearing that confidence on his face, like "We got you before like this, we'll get you again".
I guess that really is the plan. They thought they can’t catch Gozer and also they didn’t have a trap anyway, so they decided (probably beforehand and off screen already) that they will cross the streams and aim at Gozer so the explosion will blow Gozer up just like when Gozer was the Marshmallow Man. I mean what else could they do? They did not know how the situation will play out and how the logistics were at the farm. Crossing the streams is basically the only “superweapon” they have.
