1. Let's make the Ghostbusters girls!
2. ?????
3. Profit!
I originally was hyped about it, but I was quite disappointed in the trailer. It takes the realism (yeah you heard me) out of the way the characters were played in the first Ghostbusters. They already seem more cartoony in their reactions and the foundation of the team. There was a subtlety and grittiness and realism. Hell, the one braniac lady seems to even be a visual ripoff of Egon from The Real Ghostbusters...if you're taking pages from the cartoon instead of the original....
I HOPE that it's better, and there's more than meets the eye, and of course I'll GB nerd enough to go on opening day, but...seems rushed.
I mean, seriously, the hearse from the first movie didn't need an arrow pointed at it to say "Look, it's a f'n hearse/ambulance."
This one "It's a hearse. Yuh, but it's a Cadillac!" Come on...
