I never understood it as a kid and i still don't. How come this was called the 'real' ghostbusters when it was a cartoon? I always thought that was strange since real to me meant live action.
>>83033734
Because a company called Flimation had a kids show back in the 70's called Ghostbusters.
>it's a "things that can be answered by reading wikipedia" thread
>>83033833
When the Ghostbusters movie we know and love came out, Filmation realized they could make a claim on the name and released an animated show called Ghostbusters.
it was because the filmation company would have sued so they had to say it was the REAL ghostbusters
(which people would understand to mean it was based off the movie and not the obscure live action show from 30 years ago)
Also in the cartoon the "live action movie" existed as fictionalized version of their lives. (the cartoon characters go to watch Ghostbusters 2 at some point and its the live action version)
So they are literally the "real" version and movie is a movie based on their adventures.
>>83033872
So the animated version of the Ghostbusters movie had to have a different title, to avoid copyright issues. Since they were - in pretty much everyone's mind - the only Ghostbusters worth a damn, they chose to call their show The REAL Ghostbusters.
>>83033872
The studio claimed it didn't make any money off of ghostbusters so they didn't have to pay filmation any money for use of their name
>>83033833
Is this a clip from the new FemaleGhostBusters' film???
Didn't realize it was going to have full frontal nudity
>>83033960
What a shitty joke. Way too wordy
>>83033960
dude I am like cracking up from that
Reminder that Ernie Hudson made a cameo in Mario Bros
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-cLSdVCOiA
He requested to not include that part in the VHS release since he didn't want to sell himself out. Which is why you didn't see him in other merchandise and games with a few exceptions.
>>83033734
Wasn't there a joke in the show about the movies being based off their adventures?
>>83033960
>???
>FemaleGhostBusters
>long ass punchline
4/10
should be more like
>"Damn, I wasn't expecting the reboot to have full nudity"
which still isn't a great joke, but you gotta be short and snappy about it
>>83033865
What did he mean by this underrated post of which I was baiting for?
Hey, guys. What's the name of that movie with Bill Murray in which he is a sarcastic, unlikable character that all the other characters seem like anyway? I think he had a sort of droopy, lost look to his face through it.
>>83034480
That was real life,
>>83034480
you're thinking of Garfield I believe.
>>83034480
Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation or Ghostbusters, maybe?
>>83034137
That was cute. Good on Ernie to not want to sell out.
>>83034137
Fucking hell, how come the live action segments of that show cause me to enter hysterical fits of laughter while the cartoon itself makes me cringe?
>>83033833
The original black and white show is pure gold. In the credits they even pretend is an actual gorilla
>>83034480
OH! I know the one!
It's every Wes Anderson film ever.
>>83035192
Which is why Fantastic Mr.Fox is his best movie.
He needs to adapt more source material that doesn't allow him to climb totally up his own ass.
He could probably do a decent Willy Wonka Stop Motion.
>>83034695
Though he did audition for the VA role of Winston in the cartoon, was passed over for Arsenio Hall.
>>83034184
Yep they went to a premier and showed a clip from the film. Has Lorenzo Music Peter commenting how the movie version looked and sounded nothing like him.
>>83034137
>if I'm not back in ten minutes, put a dime in the meter
That's pretty good.
>>83034137
Ah Cap'n Lou. Best Mario.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m25NzM5OjmY
>>83035518
I always thought it was interesting that Lorenzo played Garfield and Peter Venkman in the cartoons, then after he died, Bill Murray played Garfield in the live action Garfield movies.
>>83035293
>Which is why Fantastic Mr.Fox is his best movie.
That was low.
>>83033934
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting
It's called that because they are "REAL" as in they don't play around, as in "those are some real ghostbusters!"
Who was better?
>Lorenzo Music as Peter Venkman
>Bill Murray as Garfield

Actually what happened was that Columbia Pictures discovered prior to release that there had been a Filmation show named Ghost Busters and, for the avoidance of litigation, the two companies reached an agreement over the use of the name. Filmation, which was by then making animated shows, assumed that this meant they would be making an animated tie-in to the films. I forget whether they were asked to pitch or just assumed that they would get the job, but when they didn't get it, they threw a shitfit, tried to sue, and when they found they did not in fact have the right to make a Ghostbusters cartoon, they made a Ghost Busters cartoon instead - the name and property to which they indeed held the rights.
However as by then Columbia had the rights and established property to make a Ghostbusters cartoon, they simply called it "The Real Ghostbusters" for the avoidance of doubt - ie that they could not be considered to be trading on the previously-extant Filmation Ghost Busters property - and that was that.
"Hollywood accounting", by the by, is often simply a combination of what literally every business in America does (accounting, which is a complex mystery to even most numerate Americans) and a conflation of the profitability of a single product with the profitability of a studio. This is why you always sign on for a cut of the gross on any product where it's offered - not a cut of the profit. Because the gross is closer to turnover (but not identical), it's a large figure; whereas the actual profit (the net) is probably very small by comparison, and may genuinely not exist at all even without trying to hide any income streams.
>>83033734
They were what the Movies were based on.
>>83047293
Lorenzo as both. He could call me "nigger" and I'd still love him.
>>83034604
but people didn't like him in Groundhog Day, not until he stopped being an asshole
>>83033833
>>83033872
The only reason I became aware about Filmation Ghost Busters show existing is because Chris-chan is the only fanboy of that series in the world, and he hates "Ghostbusters" with passion for stealing the name
http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Ghostbusters
>>83049540
Then how did they enjoy the movie since it was 90% of him being an asshole
>>83033833
Wow. Vince, Howard and Bollo haven't aged well...
>>83033872
Used to actually watch this as a kid, this show looks ridiculous on paper but it was reallypretty good. For a kid's show.
>>83054148
Filmation's entire lineup was great but in retrospect it was incredibly formulaic.
>>83034137
Damn, I forgot just how much effort they put into the live action segments.
based lou and danny
>>83033872
I want to be friends with that gorilla
>>83049915
OOOOH MY ACHIN AXLES!!
they weren't really all that extreme.
I mean they where hip and young but they weren't really "doing the dew" except for the wheelchair guy whom everyone thought was a jerk anyways so Id rank them at about a 6 outta 10 if we where scoring EXTREME
When will you misogynerd manbabies stop talking about the lame old cishit Ghostbusters and embrace the future?
>>83058280
Why did they always try to force a "cool" wheelchair guy into 90s shows?
>WE NEED THAT HOT DISABLED KID DEMOGRAPHIC
>>83058398
Execs thought it was important. And he was actually cool in extreme ghostbusters
I'd watch a pseudo-documentary comedy about how Ghostbusters 3 never got made.
Main character would be Dan Aykroyd who was always optimistic about it and ending would be Harold Ramis' funeral.
>>83059512
I imagine it involved a lot of Dan Aykroyd writing letters to the studios and the studios writing letters to Bill and Bill writing back "no".
>>83048185
I never heard the full version of the story before. Thanks, /co/mrade.
>>83033960
What a waste of some perfectly good casual racism.
>>83051711
Because he was an entertaining asshole, who was nevertheless suffering through the same day for a literal eternity.
>>83058398
normally I'm the first guy to shit on quotas but the dude in the wheelchair was an arrogant prick and and it made for a nice character dynamic.
>>83060983
Yeah, they played up the fact that he was a prick to compensate for his lack of legs
>>83061195
pretty much yeah, and he wasn't all bad he did care about his friends. He was a pretty well rounded character.
>>83033872
The Purple chick was hot.
>>83034184
>>83035518
I remember my favorite line from that episode. The guys go to Hollywood to "advise " on the ghostbusters movie. They go to Columbia pictures studio, meet the producer and he gives them a script to read.
The first words out of Winston's mouth after reading the script's cover was "Murray, Aykroyd and Ramis. Who are they? A law Firm?"
>>83053264
I laughed at this for way too long
>>83058336
>Ghostbuster's role call!
>Fat
>Gay
>Quirky
>Black
>>83058398
I like that guy okay? Also fuck you. He was better than McCarthy fembuster
>>83061322
It was Eduardo that suffered from status quo. He'd do something to break past being a lazy douche and then he'd be right back to it next episode. Neat that the comic referenced that as part of that reason he left.
>>83036177
It is, because it's an actual movie and not pretending to be one.
It actually got Bill Murray to act. Which is amazing.
>>83034480
I saw Bill Murray in a grocery store in New York yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was a little taken aback, and I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of me over and over again. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked away.
When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word.
After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
>>83065885
Futura, the ghost buster of the future.
I liked the ghost chick myself.
>>83049915
Yup, that's how I learned about it too.
>>83049915
I like Filmation's Ghostbusters...
>>83067286
He's a douche. You just gotta roll with it.
>>83066855
Sexist.
>>83067434
Dude, this is ancient copypasta with various celebrities put in the place of bill murray. I think zach braff was the original
>>83051902
Underrated post
>>83068323
This. Bill Murray is a legitimately cool guy and one of the most down-to-Earth celebrities you could ever hope to meet.
>>83033960
Why the fuck did you think you need to use so many question marks?
>>83053264
if you stood up and punched him in the face, people would believe you.

RAPIST MAN BABY!!!!!!!!!
>>83070764
As far as celebrities and writers going nuts defending the new ghostbusters go, I think the delusion comes from how Hollywood's culture is insane and ridiculously far removed from the rest of the world, so that they're basically living in their own little private bubble separate from the rest of reality. Bojack Horseman didn't get shit like Smoodies and Halloween in January out of nowhere. As one part of that mass delusion, you're not allowed to shit talk anything in public, ever, because everybody's connected and every time you throw out a comment that pisses someone off, a hundred doors get shut in your face. The biggest hugest celebrities can get away with it, but everybody else has to abide by the rule of always kiss the ass of everyone above and around you, just in case they come back to bite you in yours later.
And journalists are just natural born fuck-ups and it's a miracle when they can arrive at the correct conclusion.
>>83059512
>"I think this is it, this is our big chance! Bringing it back!"

ironic shitposting is still shitposting, shitposter
Also this is the biggest made up controversy since "wardrobe malfunction". Christ. Literally no one cares about any of this except two rabid groups of circlejerking fucktards wildly throwing jizz and shit at each other.
>>83070764
This pic is such a clusterfuck. Can someone give me a brief explanation of what's going on here?
>>83068694
until he's a douche that throws phones off skyscraper roofs onto people down below because despite being a "veteran actor" he can't handle his shit like a teenaged russel crowe.
>>83067286
I'll take things that didn't happen for $500
>>83071535
People getting mad at all the people who disliked the ghostbusters trailer, such as AVGN, because it's obvious that they must have the muhsoggyknee.
Honestly it's probably a lot of marketing dollars at work, combined with earnest left wing authoritarians doing their thing and shitting all over everything without thinking too deeply about it like the good moral guardians they are.
>>83071697
>If something genuinely looks like a bad cheap cash out, with shitty jokes shown in the trailer, that is intentionally sparking controversy for extra dollars, you cannot dislike it without being a misogynist.
Fuck this gay earth.
>>83071763
>Fuck this gay earth.
I'm afraid so, anon.
It's pretty much only america and the english speaking world at this point, so take heart that your future chinese overlords don't give a flying fuck about any of this shit; nor does anyone else, for that matter.
The west is so decadent that it is allowed the luxury of such thinking. One good disaster will remind it that this bullshit serves no purpose.
>>83071763
Well that's the defense they've used from the start since according to leaks this was a clusterfuck all through production they are hoping to save through the editing room and reshoots.
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/sigourney-weaver-returns-dead-ghostbusters-article-1.2635262
>“There’s been a lot of recuts and editing in recent weeks as concerns are growing over the movie,” we’re told. Even Bill Murray, who had top billing in the Ivan Reitman version of the poltergeist-pursuing classic — and supposedly a small part in the new one — has insiders wondering how “Ghostbusters” will play with audiences when it opens on July 15. The 65-year-old living legend doesn’t appear in the film’s official trailer.
>“I’ve never been involved in a project with so many different edits, re-edits and story alterations.”
>>83047293
Lorenzo
>>83071697
I think it's just libs virtue signaling since they see other libs calling him sexist, they obviously didn't watch the video since he literally said nothing against it being all female, just that he's sick of 80s reboots.
Also sad that they're probably only using him as a strawman because of his nerd persona and they hate nerds, which is funny since it's obviously an act and he's married with a daughter irl so has probably done more for women than any of these whiteknight retards.
>>83073336
And how dare can a person do that when women are involved.
He ruled Ghostbusters headlines for a week and even had people shitting on him over that Star Trek rental standee. Which might have been a purposeful placement.
His Video Rental room is fantastic BTW. Love that he has all manner of VHS rental cases examples and formats.
>>83071697
I bet when this movie comes out, it will get all 100% positive ratings for "some" reason and it's not gonna be for the content.
>>83071697what happens when female internet personalities say they don't like the trailer?provided they can keep dicks out of their mouths long enough
>>83074745
Because its a Paul Feig film they'll give it accolades since many a critic still has a chub for his early work and want him to be their next Spielberg, or something.
>>83058280
Then again, most of the ghosts were absolutely fucking scary as shit for a kid's show.
>>83034480
Don't forget What About Bob, the movie where the one character with a normal sense of personal boundaries is treated as the bad guy for not wanting to constantly be around Bill Murray
>>83074988
A blind eye is cast. In fact, one has already said the exact same stuff as James, not nearly as calmly, and it was ignored.
>>83058280
Was Kylie the de facto leader of that group when Egon wasn't around? I haven't actually watched Extreme since it aired years ago, but all this GB3 whining reminded me of it, since those pushing the film don't seem to acknowledge that they have been female members of the team before. And I just seem to remember Kylie being the one who would actually pull the group together or get them out of tough situations despite not being their designated leader.
>>83033960
>>83034249
This, I did the same joke around friends.
In about a short sentence.
The wit of the guy is just very dull.
>>83069995
>punching Bill Murray
If you want to go down on history like a faggot maybe, is that what you aiming for right now anon?
>>83075182
Course it was. The rule of this is that is hate that its women cast in these roles that is driving the dislike. (A tone that the filmmakers set from the start pinning this as "The Female Ghostbusters" and labeling the proposed and at the time being drafted sequel project "The Male Ghostbusters".
When that wasn't even true and was going for the more even keel taken on by the current comic run with their newer members. Which that project was drawing from when writing the script.
>>83075326
Pretty much, she was the one that knew the stuff and had an interest in the field. Comics carry that on as she's the only one that remains of the Extreme 4.
>>83075523
Be like kicking a Basset Hound. You're not going to look good nor feel good about it afterwards.
>>83075182
Who?
>>83075686
Game was everything a third movie would have been. Even giving a lead into a new generation with Rookie. Always wanted a Rookie figure.
Another note. New thing isn't just going to be judged by the standards of the old film but by the comics. Since they've already got a full roster of females in those.
Ghost designs from XGB are still a winner
>>83075164
>What About Bob was a precursor of things to come
