Ghostbusters 3 will be so in line with Beverly Hills Cop 3, Die Hard 4, Indiana Jones 4, Blues Brothers 2000, Terminator 3, and other terrible late sequels whose names just escape me.

I loved at least two of those movies, but I refuse to say which ones.

Heh.

At this point I keep going back and forth between not wanting a third movie made and being willing to take on a very cautious "Wait and see" kind of attitude. Quite frankly I'll be amazed if the movie is actually shot.

I know I don't want some nonsense involving a bunch of new Ghostbusters with the originals appearing in glorified cameos. If the movie can somehow achieve a mix of old faces and new ones contributing to a solid script then I'll probably give a damn. Otherwise I'm not interested.

I'm a fan of 3 of those films so further proof that the loud minority internet haters aren't 'right' about them.
I don't care to change your mind, just don't make a blanket statement as if this were a truth.

DH4
IJ4
T3

All overly nitpicked.

Well I'm just hoping that IF GB3 actually sees the light of day, that they don't go the douchey route of hiring like all these "late night comedy" actors and it's just a scat-fest. Honestly the first 2 were funny without a lot of stupid fart, sex and gay jokes. I mean if they have Slimer humping people I'd walk out.

Although... what'd be funny is if they hired Jim Belushi to sort of be the voice of Slimer as a nod to Slimer's original template John Belushi. They effin' need Slimer in GB3.

Hm, and why can you make blanket statements as if they were a truth?

Because that statement is a truth.

The nitpicks of IJ4 were hashed out ad nasuem in the thread here. People would grasp at something, anything to complain about after the 'fantastic' elements were broken down in comparison to other IJ movies. When people have to resort to bitching about the color palate, lack of using the gun and more CGI than yeah, those overt nitpicks. Not saying its not A nipick one can have. The individual is just being overt about it at that point.

I agree. There are too many low-brow comedies out these days. There aren't enough intelligent comedies anymore. If they truly want a next generation of ghostbusters, then go with people that were their age when they started with GB1, and people with good track records. Paul Giamatti would make a great ghostbuster. I'm sure there are others that could competently make good ones.

Nopey, it's an O P I N I O N. Just like my statement was.

Sadly your laughing at yourself.

Why the difference you ask?

You stated it as if everyone agreed with you and it was fact.
My statement acknowledges the complaints, while still overt but does explain why they are that way.

Checkmate my friend.

Oh boy, just imagine ", imo" at the end.

It explains why you think they are that way. An opinion again.

I can imagine a lot. Since the 'net doesn't allow for mindreading thou clarification is always best.
Now that its clearly an 'imo' the prior posts could've been avoided.

Now, resuming to getting Ghostbusters 3 produced and back in theaters.

Anyone have their own ideas as to how they would write a "Ghostbusters 3"? After the Blair Witch Project came out I did a short story where the Ghostbusters come out of retirement and are asked to come to Burketisville investigate the witch. I think I would do a take on Ackryod's "Hellbent" idea which I think could be really interesting if it was done well.

[Captain Craig]

Perhaps play up the Myan 2012 angle? Have spirits and the undead all making a pilgrimmage to the natural world to welcome the end of times?
Naturally NYC is where many would gather.

[Admiral_Young]

Ackroyd would be up for that idea.

[Samurai8472]

Aykroyd's a big paranormal fan

I had an idea on how to open Ghostbusters 3. The three original ghostbusters are battling a ghost but they get sloppy and one of them gets hurt. Venkman decides to franchise the whole thing(money!) and send out applications for new recruits
