Ghostbusters Trailer

So the trailer for the much talked about Ghostbusters remake hit the interwebs this morning. It looks just fine. Certainly everyone involved with the project is talented enough that it shouldn't be terrible or anything. I've never had an issue with them recasting the entire team with women. In a perfect world it would probably be better if it was half-men half women and there was like an Asian person somewhere. Maybe they could have avoided casting a black actress as the one Ghostbuster who isn't a scientist. Whatever, just make a good movie.

Also I'll bet like 20 dollars that the person responsible for increasing the all the paranormal activity is Bill Murray or Dan Dan Ackroyd.

Who ya gonna Call?

Here's a shot for shot remake of the original Ghostbusters trailer done by a group of middle schoolers. It's infinitely better than the Return to Danger Island mini-movie I tried to make while in high school. Me and like a dozen guys filmed the credits and spent the rest of day playing Nintendo. It's probably better off we never finished it. We had too many Joe Laras and not enough Kathy Irelands.

She's all Links

From ‘Cruel Intentions’ to ‘She’s All That’: Why 1999 Was the Golden Year of Teen Movies. Man there really were a TON of teen movies released in 1999. I think I could watch Varsity Blues, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Cruel Intentions and 10 Things I Hate About You on infinite loop (with occasional intermissions of Josie and the Pussycats) and be perfectly happy for a weekend. Maybe the next time the wife and kids are away. Man, I really know how to party.

How one man's lies almost destroyed the comics industry. Back in 1954 Fredric Wertham wrote a book called The Seduction of the Innocent and he pretty much scared America off comic books. The short story here is that he made up a bunch of BS about how comic books were destroying the youth of today and people ATE IT UP. Of course it turned out to all be a bunch of BS, he was just making things up to sell books and get attention. Imagine everyone's shock when they found out there really weren't prostitutes setting up shop at comic book stores!

Max Landis Might’ve Pitched The Perfect Idea For ‘Ghostbusters 3′ On Twitter. Max Landis is kind of a blowhard/douche but man his 30 second pitch for Ghostbusters 3 is kinda awesome. At least the idea of a team of Ghostbusters made out of the cast of Anchorman or Parks and Rec is. Someone give me my Ron Swanson Ghostbuster figure NOW.

Paramount lays out its next two years of sequels and remakes. Are you ready for Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters 2: Electric Boogaloo? How about GI Joe 3? Hot Tub Time Machine 2: Hot Tubbier? Another Friday the 13th Reboot? Mission Freaking Impossible 5? Good grief Paramount, just take your ball and go home. You're losing at everything you're doing.

Who you gonna call? 3.5" disk drive!

Good News everybody! I got my car to start this morning. Yesterday when I got back from a weekend at the lovely Washington coast, it flooded the first time I tried to start it. Last night I pulled the plugs, cleaned them off let the combustion chamber dry out overnight and this morning it started up with no problems on the first crank.

I still don't know why the car flooded in the first place, but I still felt very manly with the torque wrench. To celebrate here's a bunch of old disk drives playing the Ghostbuster's Theme. It's almost as sweet of a sound as a 4-cyl 1.8L nissan turning over on the first try.

Bill Murray is just taunting us now

Bill Murray won some award on Spike TV this weekend and showed up to accept it in full Ghostbusters costume. Awesome right? Wrong.

It's been reported that the only thing holding up a Ghostbusters 3 movie is that Bill Murray doesn't want to do it. So either he's finally changed his mind (which would be awesome but kinda unlikely) or he's just messing with fans (far far more likely and kinda dickish too).

I bet that somehow this is all Rick Moranis's fault.

Who ya gonna call?

This is what happens when I've had a bad day. I saw this on Wednesday but was in such a foul mood that I thought to myself "god that's stupid, no one's ever going to want to watch that" then 2 days later Boom internet tested, internet approved.

Oh well back to the point, here's some guy that looks like that freecreditreport.com guy singing the ghostbusters theme.

Why is there no A-Team Video Game?

you try finding a cool picture of murdock

So the Ghostbusters video game looks pretty cool... It's not some half assed tie-in that was pushed to coincide with a movie release date. It had all the original actors doing the voice over work, and it's based on a plot by Ramis and Ackroyd. What more could you ask for? I'll tell you what, an A-Team video game!

knowyourmoney had a list of tv shows that should be turned into video games. While I might not agree with the idea of an Airwolf game, their number one pick was right on the money. The A-Team would make an awesome game. Get the guys that are still alive to do the voice work, have Steven J Cannell write the plot, license out the Half life 2 engine and boom It would easily be the awesomist co-op game ever.
