Looks WAY better than Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.

Why do movies take so long to release sequels?

- Ghostbusters
- Top gun
-Blade Runner
-Mad Max

Hollywood creative bankruptcy.

Didn’t Lydia end up sort of being adopted by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis at the end of the original? I wonder how they’re going to explain their disappearance.

I wouldn't say they adopter her. They just agreed to share the house with Deetz's. My guess would be they're going to pass on to the afterlife, rather than being in limbo for 125 years or whatever in that house.

Because back in the days studios mostly didn’t bother with sequels. IIRC sequels would usually get lower budgets. Remember how Arnold didn’t want to do Predator 2 because they didn’t pay him enough?

Imagine Conan releasing today for instance? Arnold would have been the Conan guy.

Entertainment industry was so infinitely better in the 90s.

Call me crazy but the goth look doesn't work when you're 50+

Call me crazy but the Harry Belefonte doesn't work when it's sang by 20 white kids.

Yeah, I agree, song was the weakest part of the teaser.

All of these were pretty good, though? Ghostbusters Afterlife/Empire are the weakest but they're not terrible. Top Gun 2 was legit better than the original. Mad Max Fury Road is one of the best action movies ever. It's not always a bad thing to do sequels. "Creative bankruptcy" is a thing but there are diamonds in the rough.

Bit of a sidenote, but it's almost as if Winona just stepped out of a time machine. Even with the heavier makeup she's still got that youthful vibrancy in her eyes.

I mean they take too long to make sequels... On the list they were all good, except Ghostbusters which seemed average to me...

This will be shit. Burton hasn't done anything worthwhile for a very long time.

 

[Toots]

Damn im in Michael Keaton is too good.

 

[Krathoon]

Some people kind of miss the point with Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice was not marrying Lydia to have sex with her. He was just using her to get access to the living world.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

gee.....i wonder why they killed off jeffery jones....

 

[Chuck Berry]

35 years too late

I remember reading articles about it in the late 80s-early 90s along with seeing a picture of Keaton's character lying on a beach in a Hawaiian shirt.

As if we need more proof Hwood couldnt be more creatively bankrupt. And I love Keaton and Winona, but yeah hard pass on this horse shit. Just stahp.

Also, without an Otho, let alone Baldwin and Davis this franchise aint shit.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. They kind of waited too long.

[Badlucktroll]

Maybe there will be a Little Nicky 2 shadow drop this fall as well

 

[Winter John]

We watched Beetlejuice just the other day. Geena Davis was cute as fuck before she turned into Marty Funkhouser

 

[Krathoon]

I always felt that Winona Ryder was a little bit loopy. In a good way.

 

[ssringo]

For 55 seconds I was incredibly underwhelmed. Then Michael Keaton says 4 words and I'm giggling like a little kid and am going to watch it just for him. Love Michael Keaton.

Edit: Also love Catherine O'Hara. Huge teenage crush on Kevin and Lydia's mom.

Wrong, Wednesday was actually pretty decent.

A couple of mid episodes of TV in 30 years.

Dudes hit to miss ratio in those 30 years is pretty much zero for me. Strange as his early stuff was mostly good to classic stuff.

Canna trust a man who not appreciates the pretty women

It was both, more his ultimate goal was just that. Don't act like BJ wouldn't tear the pussy out the frame, if he got the chance.
