Too much work with Windows, perhaps?

Well, actually… it is “Who run Barter Town?”

People always get that quote wrong, even on t-shirts.

“My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!!”

“In a row?”

I love Clerks.

You spelled “awful” wrong. Not a single laugh or even a smile from me during the entire trailer- it’s boring, played-out, typical comedy fare with no cleverness or originality whatsoever. The actresses seem great, and I love the look of the costumes and sets, but it looks like this one will be a dud thanks to lazy writing. As others have said, the black woman being a “Oh HELL naw” stereotype really sours any hope, and the possession joke is just pathetic. I really hope this is just a bad trailer and it turns out okay, but I won’t be seeing it unless a trusted friend personally recommends it.

Smith has done some great films, I have to say. Clerks is just full of great dialogue, which is his strength, for sure. Clerks was greate because it was driven by dialogue, I think.

This might be my White talking, but I’m prepared to wait and see the movie. The trailer did make her look pretty token-y, and if that’s what happens in the full-length film, that’ll blow. But a few seconds in a trailer isn’t enough for me to make up my mind about it, personally.

Totally understandable for others to have other reactions.

I AM A MADA FUCKIN RAGULAR!!! WHERE ARE MY LIKES!!! Ok, ok… ok. Sorry about that I had to get that off my chest. I want to like your comment because that scene is legitimately one of my favorite in movie history, you just made me want to go re-watch chasing amy. What is this topic about again? Ooooh right…

Since I can’t give you a like, have a set of female ghostbusters action figures.

I’m sure she’s contractually obligated otherwise. :disappointed:

I thought it would be great if the original team got killed by some awesome paranormal entity, and were still haunting their original fire station in the new movie. Giving Bill Murray complete freedom to be arsehole ghost might have persuaded him to be involved.

I think it’s going to be fun. Just from this little trailer it’s already apparent the cast has good chemistry. And if it leads some kids to seek out the original film eventually, all the better.

I’ve seen Murray in lots of things without Ramis and he had no problem being the funniest man in the room. On the other hand, I’ve seen Ramis in several roles where his writing is what carried the scene rather than his comedic talent.

Friends of mine have already been able to spot a bunch of Chinatown locations in the trailer.

I don’t know that I’m put off, but it definitely raised an eyebrow. I realize they’re trying to parallel the original team, but it’s a bit much, IMO.

I think people are overestimating the quality/brilliance of the original Ghostbusters. It was a funny movie with special effects. It wasn’t the defining moment of our youth or anything like that, it was just a piece of pop culture that some remember fondly.

This will be the same. A funny movie with special effects. (Except it’s also an homage to the original, which, well, Hollywood amirite?) I’ll probably enjoy it and it won’t change my whole world any more or less than the original did.

(Though I am disappointed in the sassy streetwise black lady trope, I do know a couple of women exactly like that, so… eh.)
