Should just call it Garbage Ghostbusters...Because its...garbage..and the movie didnt do good.... I'll just leave.

That Rotten Tomatoes score... cheeky.

Now it really looks and feels like a B movie. :v:

Ooof, the exact sort of title that someone would use for the direct to DVD spin off of a movie

Better than not giving us a subtitle and having it be labeled by it's year than something creative.

I'm glad there's a subtitle, because then that means we don't have to consider it a full reboot. We can just consider it a garbage spinofff.

Movies don't usually come out on home media 2 1/2 months after its theatrical release, I think it goes to show how desperate for money they are.

I'll admit that actually went over my head at first.

theyre a bunch of real ghoul-getters [editline]1st September 2016[/editline] i should have written this film

Now we can actually have a decent sequel.

I imagine that the possibility that having it as just "Ghostbusters" would hurt DVD/Blu-Ray sales of the original Ghostbusters was moreso a factor above anything else.

Can i just talk about how fucked up Bill Murray's cameo was? The lady releases a ghost to soothe her own wounded pride, it immediately kills Bill, and... that's it. There's no repercussions for the fact a main character got an innocent man killed for her own ego. What the FUCK. It would be like if Walter Peck opened the ghost containment unit in the original film, released all hell, and then there's twenty minutes of Egon working on the Ecto-1.

The goddamn main character of the first and second ghostbusters, the best ghostbuster of the team?? And it's not even a fucking Dramatic death?

I could swear this subtitle has always been attached to the movie. Just never actually used in the advertising or anything like that because it's not actually at all useful. It appears somewhere during the credits if I'm remembering right?

I saw it as the only text on a billboard ad for it, so it's certainly been in their marketing toolbox.

Sure the character isn't but from a meta standpoint wtf

It should have a different title even if it were good. If two movies unknowingly have the same title then sure, whatever but doing another movie and just giving it the same title is just annoying and confusing.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50985387]Not just that but Melissa McCarthy shits on him for not knowing as much about ghosts as she does because she's a ghostbuster. Sure the character isn't but from a meta standpoint wtf[/QUOTE] The part where she says something like "You have nothing to prove to this guy" seemed like a really meta jab at the reaction to new Ghostbusters from fans of the old movie. Maybe I'm looking too far into it though.

But then again, just being hamfistedly killed off like this is good for getting fans mad at the retards who even greenlit this disaster so I guess it serves a good purpose after all.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;50985538]And then everyone starts talking about Patrick Swayze while standing around next to the corpse. Because [i]comedy.[/i][/QUOTE] It's disrespectful to Murray AND Swayze. I haven't even seem the film itself but looking at this one scene gives me a personal incentive not to.

That subtitle makes no sense, but whatever movie is terrible enough already.

Reminds me of how they changed Edge of Tomorrow to Live/Die/Repeat, only I think that change made a lot more sense.

That title was in the movie. Well, it showed at the end of the credits at least. It was the official title during it's theatrical release though.
