Cool News
Ivan Reitman has said he's directing Ghostbusters 3!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. MTV just interviewed Ivan Reitman on the red carpet for The National Board of Review and he dropped the bomb that not only has the first draft of the script for Ghostbusters 3 been turned in, but he's going to be directing.
Click here to read the full story and see the Red Carpet video!
How cool is that? The old team back together for another outing! I know we're in an abused housewife state with our childhood favorites being revisited poorly, but I can't help but feel giddy at the prospect of a new Ghostbusters film directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver... and even Rick Moranis has said he'd come out of retirement for a Ghostbusters 3!
Now I just hope and pray that the entire focus isn't on the new generation of Ghostbusters. I don't mind new blood, but I want to see the real Ghostbusters kicking ass for more than just a scene or two.
What do you folks think of this development?

but hey, FUCK YOU!!!!
-
I love what I played of the new game. And I think everyone here wants to see Ghostbusters 3 as long as it's done well.
-
If Stallone can play Rocky + Rambo at 60 these guys can be Ghostbusters for the entire movie.
-
They need good casting for the next generation,if its seth rogen and the typical schmoes its not gonna work.
-
NO MICHAEL CERA,NO MICHAEL CERA,NO MICHAEL CERA.
-
Moranis
-
I aint afraid of no film studio cashing in on rampant nostalgia.
-
...you dont want anythin "new" or "younger" even though we're gettin older as people and a entertainment culture...I mean, Spider-Man did start off in high school
-
can you be any more dramatic? (yes, you can -- i'm thankful you didn't use the word "rape" this time in connection with a sequel).
-
...remember that ep of South Park wit the internet messin up? then Stan jacked off (and jizzed all over himself)...never laughed so hard at masturbation (sorry Jim from AP)
-
That movie was awful. EVOLUTION was mediocre. Not a classic, but not as awful as everyone thinks. He needs a good script.
-
...but bluelou_boyle makes an excellent point...
-
Or is that AFTER this film.....jackasses
-
MORANIS!!!!!!!!
THIS IS EPIC NEWS!!!!!!!!!
He's like the Daniel Day-Lewis of Comedy -
You damn well know it's going to be focused on the new generation of Ghostbusters. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Danny McBride. It's unfortunately going to suck a fat one, too. Just do a sequel with the original cast. Show the guys getting old and hating life. Please?
-
I'm going ahead and saying it... the estranged son of Venkman. He becomes a Ghostbuster to find rekindle his relationship with his dead dad.
-
Just hope they can actually bring this things together.
-
When did this news break??? AWESOME!!!!!!
-
I rest my case.
Reitman is king. -
The first Ghostbusters is a perfect movie, no half-assing this one guys.
-
Wasn't poorly directed, so much as perhaps poorly scripted. But it wasn't a horrible movie. Evolution was actually kind of interesting. Though I'm a nostalgia hound--I'd love a Ghostbusters 3 that really pulled in the story from the first movie.
-
i really want this to be good but it probably won't
p.s. fuck you jay leno! -
On one last ghost hunting adventure before passing on the proton pack. There will be a few cast changes. Sigourney Weaver's roll will be taken over by Karen Allen, and instead of playing Egon (who will now be played by D.J. Qualls), Ramis will be playing the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Dan Ackroyd has already started shooting heroin so he can get back in the jumpsuit.This is gonna be an awesome movie. In 3D!
-
...but I'm sure it won't be.
Apart from Ernie Hudson, the Ghostbusters are so old and fat. It could be such a fucking car crash. -
. . . force me to remember the sequel . . . AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH, my brain! It hurts!!!! IT HURTS!!!!!!!!
-
Some great movies should just stay great movies. Ghostbusters 2 proved that.

Write the idea of Ghostbuster franchises into the story.
by royston lodge
That's the perfect way to write in other Ghostbusters without making it a stupid "passing-of-the-torch" story.
My perfect concept for a Ghostbusters 3 would have Venkman's prediction that "the franchising rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams" coming true.
Venkman spends more and more time focusing on the corporate side of the business, managing the franchisees and counting the money.
Meanwhile, something nasty is happening in the spirit realm, and since the Manhattan branch of the Ghostbusters are too busy making money to pay any attention, New York is ironically the least-prepared city in America to defend against the threat.
Giving the New Jersey branch, run by Seth Rogan, Shia LeBeouf and Jason Mewes (or whatever), a chance to save the day. -
That's all I got to say. It will be one of the worst movies the year it comes out. I hope, no. . .pray, it crashes and burns and never sees the light of day.
-
Because that's been dead for decades.

On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a thron
by darkartist
I think the combined goodwill garnered for the videogame, the Zombieland cameo and the bluray release of the first Ghostbusters has made everyone forget how truly asstastic the 2nd one was. Vigo has got to be one of the lamest ghosts ever committed to celluloid, worse than Casper, Ghost Dad and all those S&M freaks on the John Carpenter version of Mars
-
Bad script, the cast wasn't funny, and the direction didn't help a smidge. Let's all remember the insultingly bad animated credit sequence, shall we? Back on-topic, the real GBs need to be heavily featured in this to be worth my while.
-
On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!
-
I was all for your idea until you mentioned casting choices. Especially Shia. He doesn't need to be a part of every franchise.
-
I hope he comes out of retirement if it's right for him, but I'm not expecting him to come out of retirement for this. . .according to his Wikipedia entry, Reitman says Moranis won't be back.
-
...thirty times.I've seen GHOSTBUSTERS 2 once.Hard to catch that lightning.
-
Reitman did anything worth a shit? His last 2 films were My Super Ex-Girlfriend and the ABYSMAL Evolution!I don't know why we're supposed to be excited by this.
-
be careful what you wish for
-
...it was extra frustrating because you could feel the fun flick trying to get out.
-
That is not a perfect concept. That is retarded. The perfect concept would be to have characters from The Office take over. Can you imagine Jim, Dwight and Michael as Ghostbusters? Shoot it documentary style. I would pay to see that.
-
Ghostbusters 3-D!
-
The movie still failed to materialise.
Call us again when a studio green lights the movie, okay? -
Because that's all I care about, although I doubt the remix will be as energetic as the sequel because of Bobby's coked-out mouth. Motherfucker looks like he's suffered about twenty strokes within two years
-
Why leave his name out of the returning cast you are excited for? Thats straight up racist man. Not cool Quint
-
And shall I tell you why? Because Sony will decide to take the Ghostbusters back to their roots and set it during their high school days. And then those characters will get bumped to the third act to
make room for Jay Leno. -
I spent most of his screen time thinking "Why is this guy in the movie?"
-
I'm with those who are concerned about Ivan Reitman's track record of late. I think you have to give him a chance with this film, but I also think it's fair to be apprehensive about it as well. Quite frankly, I figure they owe us a good Ghostbusters movie, because the second one is among the worst sequels I've seen. It was REALLY bad!!!
-
Though I must admit that the directing wasn't so hot and some of the jokes fell flat. But I still found the movie to be pretty fun. But that was probably mostly because I liked the cast. But My Super Ex-Girlfriend was pretty lame. Hopefully the script will be too tight to screw up.

darthsynn: My choice of cast was meant to be sarcastic.
by royston lodge
Not the cast I want, but rather the cast I expect to end up with. Heh heh heh . . .
-
So what you do is introduce this new hip group of college kids to carry the torch in the first half hour. You have them training with the old crew and improving the gear and looking all bad ass. The media is hyping them up and the town loves them. They then go out on their first call and the whole lot of them gets wiped out! This brings out the "real" ghostbusters who bail everyone out once again, despite being "out of date". It would definitely be a different take on things and could be pretty hilarious!
-
. . . the guys sparkle when exposed to direct sunlight.
-
...as a vote of confidence!!!
-
I still wouldn't want to watch that movie but the idea is hilarious.
-
No, seriously... that flick was pretty bad.
-
I don't want to see old OR new Ghostbusters. I just want to see new ideas, for God's sake. Put all those guys in a room and have them come up with an original comedic premise. As with some of these other revivals of old franchises (Indy being the chief culprit), they waited much too long to do this movie if they were really serious about doing it. Just seems like these guys are gonna be cashing a check to pay for their grandkids' tuition. Doesn't Murray owe alimony to someone?

redflash: Good idea in theory, but I wouldn't go to see it.
by royston lodge
In theory, that's a hilarious idea. It reminds me of the beginning of Josie and the Pussycats movie where the boy band is killed off right off the bat. (only funny part of that damned movie)
But it would fall apart in the execution. Here's why:
In order for the joke to be fully realized, the fact that the "young ghostbusters" are killed off in the first act would have to be kept a big secret.
That means that the advertising campaign would have to focus heavily on the hot young actors chosen as the new team, and play it up like a "passing-of-the-torch" story.
Which means the advertising would make the movie look like the sort of piece of shit we're all expecting it to be. Then we'd hear by word-of-mouth what really happens.
The alternative would be to spoil the "big joke" beforehand. But if everybody knows the joke before they even see the movie, then what's the point?
But in theory, I think it's a hilarious idea. -
Come on everyone - The reason this franchise works so well is because of the chemistry of the leads - not the FX or "popular new faces" - It was the story and actors... The original actors.
-
"That's a BIG Twinkie," got a HUGE laugh when i saw this in the theater (yeah, I'm kinda old).
-
I'd say go down the TROPIC THUNDER road with this one. Reteam Jack Black, Ben Stiller, and RDJ as the new GHOSTBUSTERS. Bring the old crew back for a cameo (anyone thinking these guys have still got the 'mojo' and generational appeal to carry a summer blockbuster is sadly wrong imho).
Go high budget, with never-before-seen fx, and 3D imax - and maybe, just maybe you'll pull off a sensation like the first movie managed. -
Seriously, that would be an awesome twist. Like when they let Sulu captain the Excelsior in ST VI.
-
Would make a good Ghostbuster.
-
not as good as the first, but not far behind, the music, the baddy, the ooze, awesome. I have high hopes for this, but serious reservations about the "new blood"
-
will be running neck and neck for the "As fat as Brando Award".
-
Who the fuck cast Luke Wilson in that? Luke Wislon is void of any charisma or screen presence. He's even lame in those commercials he's doing now.
-
When does the James Cameron for Ghostbusters thread start?
-
I recently watched Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror, and Ernie Hudson gave one of the best performances in the movie.
-
yet in Star Wars Luke Skywalker had an uncle named Owen? I've spent many a sleepless nights pondering that little nugget
-
Fuck you I'm not that old.
-
I didnt care for GB2 and that was a kajillion years ago. dont have much hope for this. At Least Jason seems to be in his prime and hungry.
-
fuck it I'm sold
-
I agree that executing this idea would be tough, but I think it could work if the focus of the trailers is a lot of good comedy from the original team, not making it feel like they're secondary characters in a "pass-the-torch" movie. Maybe you even have a clip where some ghost baddie is mocking and laughing at the new team, playing up the idea that no one really wants new ghostbusters. You set it up as a "next generation that no one really likes or wants" kind of film. It opens the door to a lot of good comedy moments, especially if you have the two teams go out together a little bit and have all kinds of conflicts.
It's not a great idea, but for how much I like Ghostbusters, I don't see anyway to make this something more than a money to leech off of good old nostalgia. I don't want grandpa ghostbusters and I don't want the twilight version either. -
Certainly not up to the standard of the original but its still very enjoyable, not an incomparable failure like Blur Brothers 2000 for example.
I seriously cant imagine this new one will be any good though, we can but hope. -
. . . Dr Peter Venkman is on-stage at a Franchise Expo somewhere in the midwest, hawking the opportunities for wealth-generation that come with owning your very own Ghostbusters franchise.
-
And what exactly was awesome? The James Lipton-esque melodramatic posturing of Vigo? The Bobby Brown cameo? The runway model Statue of Liberty sequence? The bubblegum rivers in the NY sewer? The Casperiffic antics of the Scoleri Brothers? The uneven pace? Sigourney's shrieking every five fucking minutes? Help me out. What else was awesome?
-
Should have been done with Stiller, Wilson boys, Ferrell and Vaughn as the next generation.
Now we might get stuck with the Apataw crew or younger. -
with all the jiz being spread for Anton Yelchin on the Spiderman talkback, I thought someone would be all over that by now.
-
GB2 was lots of fun, but didn't compare to the original.
Which may be a good thing--GB3 has a chance to improve the franchise and be one of those rare third installments that betters the movie that came before it instead of continuing a downward spiral.
In other words, the bar set by GB2 really isn't all that high, so I'm not worried just yet. -
He's great. I hope he's back for it. Of course, I also hope it doesn't suck.
-
...where they had all the famous actors do cameos at the very beginning.
But to make your idea REALLY funny, the new team would have to be more than just cameos. We need to see their characters develop, and work hard at succeeding, right before being unexpectedly killed at an inappropriate moment. -
will his son have a cameo like in GB2?
-
I do not like him. http://tinyurl.com/yeldjhy
-
Now, if he can just recapture the charm and cleverness of the original for a new era, that would be a fine thing indeed.
-
They should save the "Young Ghostbusters" story for Ghostbusters 4 (the reboot).
All the youth we need to see is the four of them training up Oscar, to carry the flag for the future films. -
Ok, you need an Apatow or someone like that (SuperBad, Knocked Up, 40 year old Virgin.. or whoever did Sex Drive, Hangover & I Love you man)...
Reitman hasn't been funny since the 80's.. Ramis (whom I'm a big fan of) hasn't been funny since the 80's..
I'm not a h8r.. just don't want this movie to be not funny like Ghostbusters 2..
Have them challenge the four horsemen of the apocalypse.. that'd rock (I know ,it was in the cartoon-and is one of the best episodes!).
Anyone see Year One? If you saw the trailer you saw all the best parts. It was really bad. -
and make a sequel to Little Shop of Horrors
-
with Spidey gone. I'm just sayin...
-
Jan 13, 2010 1:45:06 PM CST
I think the original cast needs a trip to FATBUSTERS first.
by revenge_of_fett
Seriously. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd are in a competition for largest pelican neck-pouch. These fat fuckin' bastards are going to look retarded bobbling around in the jumpsuits.
-
no "goes to hell" story ! please !
-
Well hopefully they have a good story. I remember reading about the Shrek sequels and some dude who worked on the films went into reasons why they felt they should make more movies, like why Shrek was in the swamp, why he was alone there, why we should give a shit, and why it it's all pointless moviemaking.... Hopefully GB3 hits it outta the park...
-
I will await confirmation of this confirmation before I get excited about GB3.
-
All awful--need some new blood.
-
1.They have a solid enough plot.
2.Dan Aykroyd is a genius of lucasesque proportions with LOADS of ideas. USE YOUR BULLSHIT FILTER ON HIM REITMAN.
3.If all the original crew is back and it doesnt seem forced.
4.They throw WOODY HARRELSON into the mix as "the new guyTM".
And if they shoot it in 3D. Not a dealbreaker if they dont...But seriously...That would be awesome.
Ps. Only thing WRONG with GB2(in my book): Viggo should have been DRACULA.
There, i said it.
Ps 2. The game ROCKS. They got Max Von Sydow as VIGGO ffs! -
When did this happen??

They're gonna have to bust their balls to top the video game...
by leto iii
...which kicked unholy ass, especially when you consider its "film tie-in" nature. Wonder how much better a movie sequel can possibly be than the game. As far as I'm concerned, that one *IS* "Ghostbusters III."
-
They only time imo that the same story over and over in a franchise has worked is in Die Hard (terrorists/criminals looking like they have some lofty purpose for their crime when all they want is $). And whereas the original ghostbusters theme and to a lesser extent Bobby Brown's contribution "On Our Own" to part 2 were coo' songs, I would like to see Lady Gaga do a song and video for this fliq. Lady Gaga + supernatural comedy theme = pretty interesting imo.

by gorgomel
-
Classiq bit ;)
-
by all means, get bunch of hot young "it" actors, play it up with them, then have them killed (or at least hilariously incapacitated for the entire movie)requiring the originals to come out of retirement to face the threat. Have Venkman bitching about being on a boat in the Caribbean. It'd be a beautiful thing done that way
-
Dracula instead of Viggo? That's actually a crazy awesome idea.
3D though, I don't think so. No matter what people say, I still believe 3D will go away as always. Even if it won't, 3D right now is still used as a cheap gimmick. Even in Avatar they couldn't stay away from throwing things at the audience or poking at the audience. It'll take years until 3D is so widely used that it won't take you out of the moment, but just be there in the background without you noticing it.
And once THAT happens, what's the point of having it??
My point is, no matter how they would do it, if they shoot Ghostbusters 3 in 3D, it will date the film tremendously. -
ALL film actors should be thin, and YOUNG. So as to better represent the cinema going [American] audience.
-
...Ghostbusters 2 had JANOSZ! The Janosz/Venkman interaction was comedic gold, especially the look on Venkman's face when Janosz gives him that creepy handshake.
C'mon, in the deluge of sequels we've had over the past 25 years G2 is still pretty fucking solid. -
I've only seen one 3D movie (that would be Up), and it didn't do a damn thing to enhance my experience. The movie would've been perfectly fine without it. I am sick of hearing about new projects coming out in 3, and wish it would fade and stay dead this time. It's just a gimmick, and like most gimmicks, it's annoying.
-
"Why am I drippings with goo?""Ok, ok! The joyfulness is over."Janosz was awesome.Hoping for the new GB flick to be good, but we'll see...

You mean: "If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say."

-
Ghostbusters 2 isn't bad, but...
Quote 50 lines from Ghostbusters.
Now quote 4 lines from Ghostbusters 2. -
That's an idea I could definitely go with. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
-
... you need to see AVATAR. 3-D's potential gloriously realized. I reccomend IMAX if you can manage it.
-
I just gave 2 above, but here goes:"Why am I drippings with goo?"Ok,ok! The joyfulness is over.""Better late than never.""I should've been your daddy."...actually rather sad, that one.GB2 is nowhere NEAR as good as the original Ghostbusters and I haven't even seen it in 10 yrs, but I can still remember some parts of it.
-
What we don't need is either: A) Ghostbusters coming back out of retirement, half the movie spent getting them back together and a "hilarious" scene of them being too fat for their old suits. B) A young crew of new Ghostbusters taking the torch - when has deliberately introducing new characters to take over a franchise EVER worked: they tried it with Blade 3 (the "Blood Pack"), Indiana Jones 4, The Mummy 3... and the spin-offs either never came or never will.
I'd much rather GB3 take on a "Wrath of Khan" look at aging - not in a serious/gritty way but that these guys are still capable of doing what they love but are questioning how long they can keep going. Maybe one new guy who helps them, but not in a "cool new guy way" but just a guy who is a little younger who they hired at some point. And any new comic talent they hire has to fit in to the style of the existing guys which, despite the ludicrous situations, is pretty naturalistic dialogue and jokes. So that means no Jonah Hill, Stiller, Owen Wilson etc. but someone like Jason Bateman could work. -
I know that these talkbacks are akin to screaming into the wind but PLEASE, just this once, be true to the original movie! FORGET about rebooting the franchise! Just make a good Ghostbusters movie and let the boys go out in style. Kill them off saving the world, ANYTHING but please oh please, don't spend half the movie dwelling on the "next generation" predictable bullshit.
Be true to the spirit! Let old Ghostbusters BE old Ghostbusters and let them battle it out even with the problems of age. That is comedy gold right there!!! -
God help us all...can't we find a director who remembers how to get humor and timing out of actors before moving on with this? Ack.
-
When Ray Parker Jr. ripped off "I Want a New Drug" so shamelessly and then they privately settled out of court, this would be perfect payback.
-
I've seen Avatar in 3D. Twice. Both times, all I could think was that I would prefer to see it in 2D.
There's so much poking and throwing stuff at the audience just to show them it's in 3D that I find it absolutely amazing some reviewers claim there's none of that. At one point, there's an extreme closeup of Giovanni Ribisi POINTING with his huge 3D FINGER, right at the camera.
"Ooooh! Look! It's in 3D! We're watching a movie, and it's in 3D, and the 3D is kewl!"
How about just telling a story and create the three dimensional space with a great sound mix instead? That's a much more subtle way of putting people in the action without taking them out of the moment. -
They look awful. It is going to take some serious special effects to turn these guys into action hero's again. I mean the producers may want to do that motion-capture animation thing and just keep the eyes and voice of these guys. As far as Ghostbuster's 3-D, yeah that is probably the way they will go. The producers are going to be spending a bundle on this so they might as well go all out. But personally, I fear the worst. GBII should have been a slam-dunk, but it wasn't. This is the same team and their track record is much worse now. Hide your eyes, people. Barring a miracle, this is going to be a disaster.
-
I love me GB1 and heck even have a fondness for 2. But after years of hyped properties getting resurrected and disappointing on both their own merits and in comparison terms, it's over. I WANT it to work but new fresh faced characters we're supposed to gel with will be forced in when all the paying public will be there to see is the main four.
It's interesting about the game though. That WAS a solid attempt however whilst admirable it worked because of the format. On it's own merits storywise it was just a hodgepodge of fan-references but it looked good, played great and you could fulfill 8year old dreams of firing a proton pack. Ahem.
Oh and **** 3D. IMMERSIVE STORYTELLING YADDA YADDA YADDA. Plot? Characters? Good dialogue? Nope it's all about 3D now, cos it's hip. Honestly - would the original Ghostbusters have got made today? I mean Bill Murray's no looker. WHOSE THERE FOR THE KIDS TO RELATEZ TO? Forget a liquor drinking Slimer, odds-on for a 'comedy' Jar Jar Ghost in this one. And expect Bill Murray for a 10minute cameo where he streams out constant sarcastic wisecracks ala the videogame. Look at GB - people popularily miss that Venkman (and the others) had genuine pathos and depth in places of the film, alongside the wisecracks. Ordinary guys you could have a beer with. Not superheroes. Not athletes doing cartwheels. When they fell down - you cheered when they got back up because it wasn't a CGI fest.
Call it something else at least. Let it go guys. -
Start writing down quotes from Ghostbusters 1, and you'll see how many you can think of and they'll all be better than the ones you could remember from the sequel.
-
Thanks man! I've actually speculated that Aykroyd came up with Dracula as the badguy for GB2 since i saw it.
Reitman and who knows else probably reigned him in though.
Like i said, -No 3D- Would not be a dealbreaker. For me. But even though i really dug AVATARS Fx and the 3D...i kept thinking about OTHER movies that i would like to see like this.
Lucas is (according to one of the biggest tabloids here) magazines here)already converting his SW movies(1-6) and Jackson is supposedly doing the Rings trilogy.
Since they are gonna have lots of CGI(letsfaceit)ghostly fx zooming into the camera...
Well...This would seem tailor made for this flick.
Still Story should be number 1.
Im warming up to having some sort of "new team" if they were something like br1947 suggested.
Maybe competitors?
Maybe they could be led by Walther-Dickless-peck? Would be nice seeing that guy in a GB jumpsuit!
Shit, im getting ideas as im typing this up! Im going for a smoke and i'll see if i can come up with a decent story. -
not Reitman. Don't know why some of you are so confused.
-
to make the line "I've seen shit that will turn you white!" the classic piece of dialogue that it is...my favourite line in the movie. that and "Egon this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. you remember that?""that would have worked if you hadnt stopped me"
-
Please God, Ivan - make it about the original guys only. No new flavour of the month bratlings please, just the guys and for heaven's sake make sure Rick Moranis is one of them, as well as Peck. One last hurrah for the GB's, not a sneaky introduction to shitbag tween idols that no-one who is older than 16 wants to see.

Well, there is goes out the window - Reitman SUCKS.
by professor_monster
This movie will wish it was GB2.
-
... of your personal experience with Avatar 3-D, I have to completely disagree with your assessment. Don't get me wrong, I have talked with a couple of people who reported experiencing dizziness, disoriention, and even nausea while viewing avatar 3-D. But they belong to a tiny minority. Sort of a "certain percentage of the population" kind of thing. I found the use of 3-D in Avatar to be almost totally transparent and almost completely immersive, with little to none of the " LOOK AT THIS! IT'S 3-D!" crapola that has been the hallmark of pretty much ALL 3-D movies prior to Avatar. In short I found Avatar to be the first film that successfully uses 3-D as an immersive techique vice being a distracting gimmick.
-
But if they have to do a sequel and it HAS to be about new recruits, I would attempt to cast any of the following: Aziz Ansari, Jason Segal, Dave Chappelle, Will Forte, Danny Pudi, Tony Hale, Jeremy Renner (top choice as the cocky Bill Murray replacement, but will never happen), Rich Sommer, and possibly Ed Helms, although be would be best used as a William Atherton type. Actually, you know what? Just keep Jonah Hill and Michael Cera away (love him as George Michael Bluth, but enough is enough) and it might get my $12.
-
They bring up the horrendous "Year One" because the writers of that "film" also wrote GB 3.
-
... that last post should have been directed at American Werewolf(?) Or Northlander and American Werewolf both? *shakes head* My head hurts....
-
I didn't see the guy who actually does think Reitman made "Year One," which is absolutely worse than anything Ivan has done. Ramis is a hero of mine, but he royally screwed up with that dreck.
-
or FUCK OFF!!!
-
you are like the buzzing of flies to him
-
Back to back...that always produces great films......eh'hem.
-
"I got a tattoo on my ding dong that says 'Stove Top.'"
-
I think i have come up with an angle for Gb3:
First however...If someone comes up with something...cool on the internet...Will they use it? I remember reading that Bruce Campbell was going to play Mysterio in SM3.
But the fans online figured it out. Or somesuch, so it was dropped. True or not...
IF someone comes up with a good story/plot point/casting online.
Will they use it anyway? Or would they drop it?
Does anyone know anything about the legal side of stuff like this? -
the "team" got back together for Indy4 and look how "great" that was. That shit means nothing.
-
... how you izz? Whatchew think about this current crop of "AICN regulars"? Erm, never mind. Good/comforting to see you still in the fray after all these years...
-
You know Disney would get involved and it would be the Jonas Bros. as the Ghostbusters.
-
Just don't let JettL93 see it, he'll write the script immediately and take it directly to Reitman. They will then throw out the original screenplay and use JettL93's. That guy knows EVERYONE (although now he will post something like, "Actually haggardatbest, I don't know Ivan personally, but I do know Jason. We golf together sometimes. Great guy.") Seriously though, I love JettL93. We golf together sometimes. Great guy. HELL of a script doctor!

Ivan has NOT made a good movie in over 20 years....
by nuking the fridge
Sorry to say, even though on paper it sounds great. The man has not directed a good movie in over 25 years. Ghostbusters 2 is widely known as being a piece of shit. And the only other movies close to being decent after filming the original Ghosbusters(1984) are Twins and Kindergarten Cop, mostly due to the idea of Arnold Schwarzenneger turning a a comedic performance. His filmography is pretty recently is pretty bad. I really hope he knocks it out of the park, because I loved the original Ghostbusters.
-
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that green turd.
-
OK, I'm in.
-
I'm sorry, but I liked it.
-
I have seen NOTHING of the sort from any source.
Could you link us with some, you know, actual sources. -
was i the only kid in britain who assumed that sta-puft was a real brand in america?
I hope this happens. I don't mind that the Ghostbusters are old and fat now- i just hope they still smoke. -

Just thank God Ramis isn't directing...
-
He may have come in halfway through the first movie but he is still a Ghostbuster yet everyone only refers to Bill, Dan and Harold. Even Quint's article above refers to reuniting to "old team" and states every actor but Ernie. Where's the love guys?!
-
We really don't need a new Ghostbusters movie. Out of all the revisitations of old films this excites me the least. Dont get me wrong i love Ghostbusters but it was very much a film of its time and lets face it..they are all getting on a bit now!! very much like Harrison ford still doing Indy!!. Both the Ghostbusters guys, and Ford with Indy, left this shit far far too long and after 25 yrs does anyone really still care? Its pretty safe to say the film won't be that great? These are the same writers that did the dreadful "Year one" with jack black last yr which was fuckin awful and the ghostbusters game wasn't much cop either devised from a script by Akroyd. Lets leave this one be please.
-
You bein' serious?
-
I really want to see a film about the original Ghostbusters too. I don't mind new supporting characters, but the focus has to be on the originals. And no fucking torch passing like allegedly happened in Indiana Jones 4.
I really hope GB3 rocks. The game last year was pretty cool, if a little derivative by revisiting Gozer and Ivo Shandor from the first film, but it totally made you feel like you were a part of the Ghostbusters team.
Holy fuck, Quint, you forgot Ernie Hudson. That's seriously not cool. -
I don't suffer from any physical discomforts from 3D. I just don't like it because it's distracting. It takes you out of the story every time you realize it's there, and every time you don't, there's no point in having it.
And believe me, there are TONS of those "lookie lookie 3D" shots in Avatar. I pay close attention to camera work and storytelling because it's part of what I do for a living. -
I prefer they live on in my mind as young, vibrant paranormal investigators and eliminators. Seeing a whale sized Egon, a chinless Ray and a white haired Peter would hurt my inner child. Can we still make this a CG film?
-
Right?
-
stick with puppets!
-
Not much could be worse than Indy 4.
Except maybe Indy 5. -
Have the old crew featured for at least half of the screen time and a next-gen/newbies thing for the rest. I WANNA see the people who made the other films fun; the continuity feels as important as it can for a GB movie, heh. OTOH, sure, the franchise has new potential, if they go in a totally different direction for new monsters, side from the standard ghost device we'd expect. Besides, we're not going to see Olivier resurrected in CGI to play Professor Nerdsworth, so let's see 'em build on the old with some New that ISN'T a tedious retread. If you're going to refresh it, take a risk or two and give it a sharp new tux instead of patched-up overalls. GB has so much potential for shoehorning in any mythos you care to lampoon, I'll casually cross my fingers for it to be massive. They sure have the right people for giving that idea a boost. Also, when you see any Muppet action, remember that all of 'em but for Big Bird and Snuffy have a fist up their bums. YODA TOO, first thing. That'll make some people happy to read, ho ho! -
The love is self written.
Us emotionally stunted geeks here just have a hard time expressing love. Unless drunk on JB of course.
And i have some love for GB2 too dammit!
Max Von Sydow was Vigos voice.
(and once more in the game too)
And hey, haters. it beats Transformers 2 right?
Still, my dracula speculation would have rocked. Dracula would have been cooler than Vigo. IF it was so.
Bah who knows. Hmm. Anyway.
Yeah on 3 im gotta say that PECK is the key here.
He was missing from 2 and made it in essence: More Ghostbusters.
Without Dickless.
Shit JettL93 and his 3D goggles sees everything.
Oh well, fuck it then. -
GB2 sucked, you expect everyone's comic chops have gotten better 20 years later? I love Murray, Aykyrod, Ramis, Reitman, et al, but c'mon...!
-
Fucking awesome
-
I hope (as Quint stated) that there is isn't too much focus on younger "hipper" Ghostbusters.
-
3-D. I didn't notice any of "the moments" you refer to, which I readily admit exist in virtually every 3-D film prior to Avatar. My take is that they got it "right" with Avatar; for the first time in cinematic history.
-

-
Not sure if this is good news or not since he hasn't made a good movie since Junior which was something like 12 years ago. I agree that his son might actually be the better choice now.
-
It's a bit vague but essentially it starts off as the complete polar opposite of the beginning of GB 2. 20 years later, the Ghostbusters are a massive franchise with branches all over the country. The Ghostbusters themselves are all retired millionaires, living the good life, with hundreds of teams across the country (or the world) working as part of the franchise.
In New York City however, a Ghost Busting enthusiast has creating trapping technology that is more efficient than Egon's designs and far better at catching ghosts. The Ghostbusters decide to sue for copyright infringement, not wanting any competition in the Busting business, especially competition that may be better than them.
Of course the city goes to hell and the original Ghost Busters have to come out of retirement and work with the new guy to save the day.
As I said, vague. Essentially Ghost Busters 2 started them out at rock bottom so I wanted to see what it would be like for GB3 to start out with them at the top of the ladder, rich beyond their wildest dreams. I don't really have a specific evil in mind right now for them to fight, my vague concept was more about the Ghostbusters themselves. -
As comparisons to old films being made into newer updated versions go, how's this:What's worse StarWars EP 1 or Indy IV?Thoughts/opinions?
-
Sorry for the double.
-
they were looking at me!QUIT LOOKING AT ME!!!
-
I like Indy IV. It's a fun film. A bit silly at times but the Indy films are full of silly moments. Ok Indy IV went a little over the top but it was still a fun film and I have no problem whatsoever with aliens being in it.
As for Star Wars Episode 1, I was 14 when it came out. I'd seen the originals before it and loved them and Ep 1 was just a continuation of that. Again there is silliness and the earlier drafts of the script are a lot better, but Phantom Menace is a film that gets better with age and while it may not have reached the heights of Empire and A New Hope, it did what Star Wars movies set out to do - it entertained and told a story. -

YES! get this sentiment going we all need a little more Louis Tully in our lives. MORANIS OR NOTHING!
-
what about the PT as a whole?Better or worse than Indy IV?Anybody else wanna weigh in?
-
to create an 'alternative time-line' with a younger, better looking Dr. Venkman. Vulcan is destroyed.
-
At the 'Electroniques Boutique' at Northgate Mall in Seattle. He thought I worked there and asked me the price of something. He's pretty short in real life. Nice guy, though. True story.
-
The ghostbusters are on a mission and die in the first 5 minutes. Then they are in spirit form for the rest of the film assisting the new ghostbusters to help them pass on to their afterlives all the while making money on small jobs. Please god, NO. They are gonna fuck this up. I can pretty much do a JettL confirm and tell you that the script is most likely done already and it sucks.
-
But I was 11 when I saw it soo.......
I'm not hoping for
much outta GB3, which usually translates to I'll enjoy it. -
Yeah, ahem...
THE CODEX GIGAS(google it), gets stolen, while on loan from Sweden to NY's METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART w DANA BARRETT now as manager she tips them off.
The THIEF is WALTER PECK aka Dickless and his plan is to use it to (finally) get his revenge on the GB.
(Basically, PECK uses the book to get in touch with the devil and makes a deal with him.)
You have your real world enemy(dickless) and the ultimate supernatural one. SATAN.
Rest of the story pretty much goes as vadakinX mentioned.

I love talkbacks and talkbackers generally are quite insightful, with great ideas...
...EXCEPT when it comes to Ghostbusters. For some reason whenever a GB article comes up the results are the stupidest of ideas.
Seth Green as a Ghostbuster?
Will Farrel as a Ghostbuster?
Chris Rock as a Ghostbuster?Please, spare me this time!! -
He will explain what is going on aloud in a goofy douche manner the WHOLE MOVIE

They can attempt to capture his soul the whole movie!

I mean, it's pretty much a given that comedy from the 80's to 90's to 2000's have changed quite dramatically... PLEASE read the comments here as it's obvious not many people appreciated/liked some of your latest films, or Ramis' directorial stuff as of late.
Stripes, GB1, all great movies.. but PLEASE do your homework and consult the new 'it' guys for comedy these days... Zombieland is also a huge plus..
BIGGEST concern.. the Year One writers... didn't anyone tell them the movie wasn't funny? lot of great opportunities to be funny but their writing was terrible.. the jokes.. everything.. and you're going to trust these guys to write what fandom has been clamoring for decades now? why not pick someone with a good track record????
-
This will be fucking atrocious.
-
...sucked any hope I had for revisting old movie franchises.
-
Seriously. This has the potential to be greatness. I seriously hope he doesn't put Michael Cera in it though. That kid is a serious buzzkill. Not to mention the fact that he's a one trick pony. I'm sick of him playing the same character over and over. If Mr. Reitman can keep from putting him in the flick, it could totally be awesome.
-
GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!

i'd either shadow the original and go for SNL types again - maybe Andy, Fred and Bobby, or, still sticking with TV comic actors Dwight from the office, Chuck, and the tall guy from Big Bang Theory.

This is one sequel I would love to see happen with all the origi
by moonlightdrive
the original Ghostbusters are the main leads in the film. No new/young etc. Ghostbusters. They're not needed or wanted.
-
No Ghostbusters being some kind of huge franchise. Thats stupid.
Ghostbusters always had an intimacy about it...3 guys starting a business in New York.Keep it that way.
Don't bloat it up into some huge, global franchise...everything will be lost if its too big. -
amongst all the rubbish/reboots out there. Good news today!
-
This is a potentially exciting announcement! I feel measured hope and careful expectations!I expect this feeling to last until the next announcement!
-
I thought he was great in Hidalgo and Lord of the Rings. You guys are just too harsh.
-
It was the perfect balance of drama and comedy. and more importantly at its core, it is addressing thigns every 6-12 year old experiences in their life... the fear of the unknown, fear of their possibly being ghosts and spirits that are out to get you and that you don't have to be afraid. This movie convinces you that spirits are real and brings back those fears we also cultivate in films like poltergeist , and every good 80's horror flick and then instead of suffering, this movie does what we all wish we could do... kick their ass. Tackle your fears. The movie does this through other concepts that we trust and yet fear in a different way as a society... technology and science. There's even the token fear of the government meddling in your affairs ( think "parents" in a child's mind ) In the end the movie basically says that we can conquer any fear because they've "got the tools... and the talent".... that's why it worked so well.Don't ask me to explain GB2.. it didn't work and I have thought about it so many times and I don't know why. Every time I see it in small doses, I keep thinking "why did I think this movie was bad?" and then I watch the wole thing and it just feels wrong... but I never can put my finger on it.
-
I agree that a "next gen" plot would defeat the purpose of making another Ghostbusters, but so would putting Ayckroyd and Ramis in any kind of scene displaying heroics. They are each roughly the size of Ecto-1. And while Ray could plausibly have let himself go, I just can't accept a fat Egon.How about an animated movie, in the style of the 80's cartoon, but with the original film cast as their voices?
-
Count on it.
-
Never count on anything.
-
Yes! I now look forward to this.

not a scene or 2 but a whole movie
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
where they say funny things, and have hired new recruits waaay long ago so it doesn't become some boring cookie cutter recruitment picture (the exception is police academy 4 citizens on patrol)but has a new exciting ghost plot to focus on instead.
-
I hate the idea of new ghostbusters as much as anyone, but if thats the rought their headed at least cast the right people, i could easily see Paul Rudd and Michael Cera as quirky younger scientists that could fit into the world with the right direction. please god no ben stiller, just in general, he needs to stop making movies..
-
Please. Are we crying about Indy IV involving 1950's trappings, a UFO and a zany escape from a nuke? Some "fans" just need a slap in the head.
There's every chance a new Ghostbusters might be fun, and I'm sure they know the original protagonists have to be the focus on this one. Love the rumor that Venkman becomes a ghost. Sounds like a dignified bow.
We've got people just lapping up Sony's whim of rebooting Spider-Man while thinking it's the end of the world if actors revisit their signature roles later in life. Indy, Rambo, Rocky, McClain, all well served so far.
I can tolerate introducing current comedy names to the Ghostbusters, since that would happen in the story-reality anyway. But whatever disposable follow-up happens with an all-young cast, the Ernie, Dan, Bill, Harold, Sigourney reunion is good news. -

This isn't like some ancient television show that hardly anyone has heard of; this is freakin' Ghostbusters! Hasn't everyone heard of this movie? Even if they haven't seen it, I guarantee even the most idiotic teenager has HEARD of Ghostbusters. Besides, with Bill Murray being a ghost or some such shit, there's no need for anymore twists. Just focus on a good story with funny gags and everyone, even teenagers, will come to see it.
-
The article failed to mention Ernie. How come Winston is always the forgotten Ghostbuster? Also...does Slimer return too?
And to those that feel revisiting these old franchises are like pissing on childhood mememories...WOULD YOU RATHER SOME OTHER IDIOTS REMAKE THE FRANCHISE? I'll take Ghostbusters 50 over a remake. Now I must also agree I don't like the idea of a new team of younger Ghostbusters (or Bill Murray as a ghost) -
I think people already will think this is a bad movie. People already have their minds made up because they know it won't live up to the original, and you are probably right about but again, it's GHOSTBUSTERS 3. The original cast and the original director are back. I know it won't top or come close to the original, might be along the lines of the sequel (and I was 11 in 89 so I liked the sequel because it felt more like the cartoon) but like I said, this is better than a remake/reboot. Indy 4 might not have lived up to expectations but it was a fun movie and thankfully wasn't a remake. Lower your expectations. I think we all know by now recapturing the magic is damn near impossible but it still doesn't mean this will be a bad movie. If you are expecting the magic from the original to return YES, you probably are going to hate this. Your childhood is not being shit on. A 3rd movie, no matter how good/bad it is doesn't harm the original. The Star Wars prequels, while very flawed were good on their own but never made me feel Lucas shit on my childhood. I knew it would be damn near impossible to strike gold like that again.
-
You'll find a fair share in these films: Star Wars. Kung Fu Hustle. Lord of the Rings.
-
i seriously want to know when the Rick Moranis confirmation happened. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INFORMATION?!
-
I hust hope they dont go NUTS with the CGI love the feal of the firts 2 CGI is to help and ad to the movies not to over take them
-
Ivan Reitman hasn't made a good movie in a long time
-
just as important.
-
Has obviously been blinded by sentimentality. Ghostbusters is an AMAZING film, but Ghostbusters 2??? They ride along in the Statue of Liberty that's powered by positive thinking???? That film was OK at best. There were some good bits, like the opening with them doing kids parties to make some cash on the side, but it nowhere near captured the magic of the first movie.
So. You think that 25 years after making his only really great movie he'll somehow pull this off? -
Ivan has made nothing but bombs since Ghostbusters 2. He has made maybe 3-4 really good movies, all of which were in the 80's. Jason on the otherhand has TWO Best Picture nominated movies under his belt so far (Up In The Air, Juno) and also directed Thank You For Smoking. PLUS Jason also has directed episodes of The Office and people from that show wrote the Ghostbusters 3 script. Jason would give this franchise a much fresher take than his washed up dad would. My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Junior, Kindergarten Cop, Evolution...enough said. Get Jason and not Ivan!
-
People are against the Appatow crew being in this but name me the last great Akroyd comedy you saw. Akroyd starred in Britney Spears Crossroads. I actually would have more faith in Paul Rudd or Seth Rogan being funny than Akroyd or even Raimis this days. Appatow also makes far better movies than Reitman or Raimis do these days.
-
Ackroyd is hillarious in that, I'd love to see a sequel to that, but with Duchovny in full Hank Moody mode rather than Fox Mulder.
-
yeah, super ex-gf sucked. but sometimes directors only work with certain material.
-
All the right ingredients to bake the cake. Doesn't mean the cake will turn out all right. Maybe the ingredients are stale or past the used by or the chef forgot how to use the oven. Anyway it won't be the same cake I ate when I was a kid.
-
We get it. You had a good idea when you were young and now you are old and you are afraid to try new things. Well move the fuck oout of the way, your time is over. I'm tired of the same old bullshit.... NO SALE!
-
that was some funny material, and the voicework felt like old school gbs doing the thing
-
Characters played by Robert Pattison, Shia, Sam Worthington and Nick Cannon are in the start of the movie, go to a townhouse, just get their eyes torn out and their limbs snapped off and die horribly onscreen, complete with animated sparkles for Robert, and then you cut to a red phone ringing in a dusty room and you show Dan Akroyd looking up from Chinese food with a shocked expression saying "............IT'S A CALL!' Cue the opening theme music.
-
I'm up for a GB3, but only with the original cast, but something that has been overlooked is New York itself. In the original film NY seemed like big cold unfriendly place, but its not like that anymore, all cleaned up and different, you could even see that in the GB2 crapfest.
-
would let them revisit lines, like after the Murray ghost kills the characters off I just mentioned, their gooey body parts could drop from the ceiling and he could say "AND THE FLOWERS ARE STILL STANDING!"
-
I watched the original movies about a year ago, and although nostalgic and cheesy as hell...a rehash of this doesn't seem like it would be fun. Just too friggin forced.
-
Like seeing Indy after almost two decades - it'll be a visual shock. The dudes on the Enterprise we're barely keeping it together. This'll be interesting.
-
Who cares! This was, at best, a mediocre genre comedy distinguished more by who was in it then by what it did. It is bad enough they are ruining the quality films from our youth, why do we care what they do to the average ones.
-
Uh, helloooo? HEAVY METAL
-
Now all the have to do is bring Laszlo Kovacs back from the dead to shoot it and we may have something.
-
Yes get new 'young' Ghostbusters but we should see them getting in trouble and Ray, Venkman, Egon, Winston have to saddle up and save them. THEY need to be the main stars, along with whoever plays Oscar. The other story, the one they may be going for, is Venkman or all the GB's ending up in Hell and Oscar and the new team going to save them. That story would work but we still need plenty of old-school Ghostbusters action!! CGI Slimer is happening, oh yeah.
-
Is an epic success in my book. Cant stand that fucking toolbag. Married to a hot as fuck woman and acts like a school boy who just won the school hottie. Stupid ass Eminem baits him and he takes it hook line and sinker and says shit that makes him look like a fucking 12 year old (Calling Eminem Slim Lamey? OMG that was so pathetic). Kill him, kill him twice lol.
-
Loved the first, liked the second, could have been better but still solid. Please Reitman, do not make this another Year One, put that debacle behind you, reach back and give us some good old Ghostbusters fun.
-
Jason "gimme some Oscars" Reitman. I'm looking forward to this, but I'm not as hyped for it as I am for other come-backs (like Gibson's and Arnold's inevitable comeback).
-
I think that's why latent sequels never work. The new material is so blatantly self-aware of the old material, it may as well be a caricature of the previous work.Of course, I'd be thrilled to be wrong but my guess is GB3 will be ass.Or, at best, of 'Evolution' comedy (was that Reitman or Ramis? Ramis right? Didn't Reitman direct a really shitter recently? Too lazy to imdb it).
-
One good thing that can come from this movie. Are you listening Hi-C!?
-
they're working for some military science section of the government and the government cuts them loose after they finally steal the ghostbusters secret plans for the ghost containment system and create their new team of super slick super soldier ghostbusters, 4 of them or so. so the ghostbustrs are out on their own and flat broke and the only thing they got is to reopen the biz and hope to get a few jobs based on nostalgias sake alone. and then on one special job they get stomped by the super busters during a routine busting and become the laughing stock old ghostbusters and everyone loves the new super soldier busters and at the end its gbusters vs the new super soldier ghost busters and the ghostbusters bust the head ghost first and at the end the super soldier leader's like "we did everything perfect ,what went wrong? how did you beat us venkman???!!!" an venkmans like "you forgot one thing pal..we're the ghosbusters" or something funny about him not having a dick and everyone cheers and peter marries dana and slimer and lewis are best man and the other ghostbusters just dance.
-
i hate this guy just because he backs up his hack fuck son's assertion that he did not gain advantage thru who his father is to become a VERY young director of Hollywood feature films. Because they let all of us do that right? Fuck the Reitmans
-
I always thought Paul Rudd looked like Venkman from The Real Ghostbusters..
-
Anyone?
Or is anyone busy bitching. -
"These lightning rod things are fucking cool as shit -- Hey! What the fuck was that?! An ectoplasm?! The fuck is an ectoplasm? I just got jizzed on by a fuckin' ghost ferchrissake! Fuck this ghoul-busting shit! I quit!"
-
Seriously, if they're going to do it get some new blood in from the start. Okay you'll need to be selective - four from a list of Rudd, William Scott (they had great comedic chemistry in Role Models), Zach Galifiniakis, Anna Faris, Steve Carell, Neil Patrick Harris, Mila Kunis and John Cho.Even if they fuck up the casting, is it really going to be more tragic than seeing the old cast shuffle and shamble about trying to recapture glory days which are now 25 years old and counting? Plump, cuddly Ramis? Sad, bloated Ackroyd? Miserable, lazy Murray? I'd rather keep my memories the way they are, thanks. Just don't put anyone too rubber faced or slapsticky in it.
-
SO GET RID OF THE FUCKING NEW BLOOD CONCEPT ALREADY!!!
-
Yeah, since Pattinson rumored to be considered for the new spidey, he might as well be rumored to be a ghostbuster too...
-

by takingscorpioscalls
he's with them in all themovies, someone has to be the down to earth guy, and he's the only guy who can still maintain a respectable fit in his original outfit and ghost battle boots.
-
I don't hate this movie, there's a lot of great stuff, what with the whole courtroom battle and the crooked cop from scarface becoming a judge, the whole evil river thing, the statue of liberty. What sucked is it started ot get a bit too queasily sentimental with the Dana storyline and also the cinematography lookekd bland, everything was too white, compared to how rich and colorful Ghostbusters 1 was.
-
Harry said that he thought it looked too grainy, but I'm happy to report that I have no idea what he's talking about, I honestly don't think he watched the whole thing, I thought it looked excellent
-
I saw him in some tv show and man that guy is BUFFED! he looks like he could still kick ghost ass without any trouble at all
-
Fuck Ivan Reitman! The sooner this fucking hack stops making movie,s the better. Should had already! Fucking ass!
-
I actually have SOME hope for this. Maybe it's entertaining at least. How'd you like my little plot? Or did you think it sucked ass.
