If you have to ask you do not know. 3 hours ago, Jay said: The film didn't really need personal stakes, it was very light and breezy. Wiig going into the vortex was the personal stakes moment, closing the arc that started with them being at odds in the beginning of the movie. I didn't understand at all the point if the blonde hair moment though, since it was totally undone in the next scene. It's called coloring. The joke was Wiig did hers in Garfield orange.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 It was kind of funny to me because about 20 years ago, my dad dyed his hair with Just For Men, but it turned out purple-ish, and he wouldn't leave the house for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 According to Box Office Mojo, Ghostbusters is expected to open at No. 2 with a $46 million return. The Secret Life of Pets is at $50 million at No. 1. Is 2016 the year where the tentpoles get usurped by these random animated flicks I never heard about until the day they open?

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 The link doesn't work. People don't want sequels that don't bring back the original cast. The marketing department seemed to think this was a completely different film, as evidenced by the revival of the classic Hi-C Ecto Cooler drink I used to have in my brown bag school lunch everyday. That would have made sense for a nostalgia fest like The Force Awakens, but this? It got what it deserved. So did Independence Day: Resurgence. Let's just forget they ever happened and move on.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Independence Day: Resurgence I'll gladly forget about, but I didn't mind Ghostbusters 2016, as over-cooked and over-produced as it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We loved this, so we're a bit bummed that there won't be more with the cast. Rachel said that she realized halfway through the movie that her face hurt because she consistently had a huge smile. If Feig had reigned it in a little bit in the final battle, maybe the budget wouldn't have gotten so out of control. They could have preserved the real "hero moments" (the four ladies kicking ghost butts, Wiig saving McCarthy) without the Giant Rowan rampaging through Manhattan stuff. There was a whiff of Marvel-style "need to stop the apocalypse" at the end, when IMO it could have been much tighter and cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I had that similar grin throughout. And I was mentally prepared for the worst. It will always have a place in my Ghostbusters marathons at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I may see Sausage Party as a rental. Not too interested in Bad Moms. We don't typically do theaters since the baby's been born, but my spouse was excited to see that they were expanding release, and specifically wanted to see this one again.

Jay 37,363 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 The extended cut is 15 minutes longer That's a lot of padding that will slow down the pace considerably. I find extended/unrated versions of comedies are generally not as good as their swift theatrical counterparts (American Pie 2 is one exception I can think of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well most of the time it is the extra padding that was deleted. They've always been marketing tools used to give the viewer an incentive to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
