> [@FlikTheBlue](#): > > At least they got to see it. I get the original delay last year due to the pandemic. But it’s been delayed 3 or 4 more times since (if I’ve kept track correctly). Of all the movies that were delayed due to COVID, this one seems like it wins the award for longest delay. _Ghostbusters: Afterlife_ was originally scheduled for a July, 2020 release, and after several delays, it’s now rescheduled for a November, 2021 release. _The King’s Man_ (aka _Kingsman 3_) was originally scheduled for a November _2019_ release, then delayed until February 2020, and after several more delays, it’s now scheduled for a December, 2021 release, more than two years after its original release date. If it actually gets released then. ---

I think _Top Gun: Maverick_ will beat them all. Originally scheduled for July 12, 2019, it is now scheduled for May 27, 2022. But the original delays for _Maverick_ and _King’s Man_ weren’t due to COVID, so maybe it’s not a fair comparison. ---

That trailer makes the movie look like it’s going to be an action/thriller movie but I remember the original two films for their humor more. ---

It also looks like a mystery, it also looks like a family drama. Seems like they dipped their toes into a bunch of genres. ---

Me too. One thing that concerns me is that I hope they explain how everyone just moved on from the ghost occurrences of the previous films. Sure there would be skeptics, but that’s one thing that pissed me off about the second film. ---

Walter Peck was the hero of the first film! Prove me wrong! (And I liked them in the order of 1-Reboot-2.) Cautiously optimistic about the new one. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > Walter Peck was the hero of the first film! Prove me wrong! Even if we accept that the Ghostbusters were breaking the law and that their containment unit was dangerous, etc he still went about it in the stupidest way possible. If I’m running an unlicensed zoo in my backyard, the answer isn’t for a guy from Fish & Wildlife to come and release all my tigers into the neighborhood. ---

Oh, I don’t dispute he was a Class-1 jerk about it. But he was right to want to check out the mysterious machine these “Ghostbusters” are refusing to show him. I’ve just finished the Ghostbusters episode of a podcast called “The Villain Was Right” so blame them. 😄 ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > Oh, I don’t dispute he was a Class-1 jerk about it But he wasn’t just “a jerk”, he was criminally negligent and caused massive destruction to the city and potentially a world-ending event because he decided to ignorantly manhandle a piece of equipment he _knew_ was extremely dangerous. If someone has a bomb in their basement, the answer is get a professional explosives team out there, not to say “You can’t have this!” and hit it with a crowbar. Peck is one of those bad guys where he “sorta has a point” but went about it so stupidly that his intent doesn’t come close to redemption. ---

Watched it just now. It wasn’t horrible, but it didn’t have much humor, and I would have preferred it to be more original. In the third movie, couldn’t they have had a new challenge instead of blowing up the Death Star again? I also thought the plot had holes in the characters’ characters. Why would Egon run off with much of the GB’s equipment without a word? Why would he not be believed when he contacted tyem Hyears later? Those guys went through some weird shit together. It seems to me like Egon would have explained his ideas to them at great lenght, and tgey would have believed him. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > “Where do these stairs go?” > “They go up.” When Janine answers the door, sees a cop, and asks, in a wearied voice, “Picking up or dropping off?” I just laugh like hell. There is so, so much recent off screen lunacy in that line. Anyway, “Afterlife” was a terrific, terrific movie… for an hour, and then really went south for the next hour. falling right on its own dick in the last ten minutes. It felt like it was a different movie, written by a far less competent person than the first hour. The kid who played Phoebe was frigging amazing though.
