you are welcome mighty blutarsky.

and you are absolutely right about the not ready for prime time players! wanna see the only faces that can be called not ready for prime time soulwrangler? look here!



honestly…i just dont see jimmy fallon in that picture… ::scratches head::

they sure dont look happy about chevy chase being back do they? lol.

amen!

I just want to go on the record as saying I don't want to see characters replaced by other actors. But I would like to see some new recruits to join the others.

just the originals for me. i dunno, new guys is what ruins most fandoms. you know…“THE NEW CHARACTER” and then we find out the new macho character sucks.

Yeah, same here. I don't want any new recruits.

I disagree with you nile…. I didn't say anything about recasting the original Busters… But the BiG's in their current state could not do another GB movie. Danny has put on some weight.. And Ramis has put on a ton. The only way that a 3rd movie would get made is if it could appeal to a large audience… Hence the new recruits. Meaning casting today's more popular stars. Face it, eventhough we all love the GB's to death, everyone in those movies are actors from yesteryear. We need new blood to bring our fav movie back to life. We need Jack Black's, Jimmy Fallon's, Mathew Broderick's, Will or Collin Ferral.

So.. In simple terms. They need to make something that will sell.. New actors to play new recruits (not replacements) is the only way.

There's where you're wrong. Why couldn't Danny and Harold do a GB 3? Danny is alot thinner than he looks, believe me, I know. He seems to have lost about 30 pounds or so. And he has done plenty of stuff recently, hosting SNL, a couple of guest appearences on According To Jim, he and Jim Belushi released a new album, he's working on the script for a new movie, and he recently finished making a new movie called Whitecoats. And Harold recently directed Analyze That and was in Orange County. I don't see why they couldn't do a GB 3.

And I don't care if it's a new team insted of new recruits, I want the original GB's. We don't need any new blood. Just becasuse the guys aren't as popular now as they were years ago, doesn't mean that they still don't have a fan base and it also doesn't mean that the movie wouldn't make money. And for the people who would rather have a GB 3 with new actors because they aren't familiar with the old ones, that makes me sad, not to mention sick. I know people who weren't familiar with Dan, and I felt like screaming. We don't need a new cast, what we need is the original cast. (And Jimmy Fallon freakin' sucks. I would start burning bridges if he was a GB. And Jimmy Fallon and Ghostbusters should never be in the same sentence together. *Shudders*)

(Sorry for my rant. If I have angered or upset anybody in anyway, it was entirely unintentional and I appologise.)

im sitting here in a morbid state of shock right now.

silvers idea is as atrocious as recasting and remaking the original star wars trilogy or having ben affleck (hes now actually going after all of harrisons old roles including jack ryan) play indiana jones. ::goes green::

fallon as venkman? ::starts puking everything shes eaten in the last month::

ok enough puking. lets just put it this way:

dan aykroyd, harold ramis and bill murray might be the stars of yesteryear, they might be old, they might be tubby or grey. but that doesnt mean they wont be able to still act?

afterall last i heard sean connery (age 72) and harrison ford (age 61) were still being called the sexiest men alive (for ALL ages). time magazines 1998 sexiest man alive was 56 at the time…and d*mn good looking. he was also a star of yesteryear (70s, 80s and 90s mostly). sean connery was big back in the 60s!

and jack nicholson…hell, he started a LONG time ago. hes still a huge face in hollywood. still making blockbuster movies too.

hell, people still run around with posters of marilyn monroe and elvis presley. IM NOT KIDDING. if i see another handbag with monroe on it im going to go blonde again. those two died a LONG time ago. judy garland and mickey rooney too. huge icons…of the 30s and 40s!!! and shirley temple! who can forget her 80 blonde curls and her little dimple. shes from the 30s too.

john belushi was rated this year as the #75 popular culture icon of all time. thats gotta say something for a little movie that was made for 3 million bucks called animal house. bluto is one of the top selling college dorm posters today. belushi died 21 years ago. his death ranks as the #27 most shocking moments still TODAY. hes still an icon.

(yes, bluto_blutarsky, i too want to scream when somebody doesnt know who belushi or aykroyd is by name…you should have seen me when somebody who hadnt heard of harrison ford (i almost went ballistic and started asking if they were from planet earth and what they were taking.))

harold is a very successful director right now and has tons of blockbuster movies coming out. aykroyd and murray are actually pretty big faces in hollywood, believe it or not.

so all you jimmy fallon, ben affleck, and prequel sw lovers out there can kiss my little pale booty. those people all suck.

retro is still cool. retro is cooler than being current. and who gives a f, if a movie is made without young dudes who usually cant act!!!

RETRO FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez…. Do i need to bring a box of q tips in here?….. I said before that they need new recruits… NOT RECASTS. I didn't say anything about replacing the original actors… What i'm saying is that if they were the only gb's in a third movie… I'd be the biggest flop at the box office. They need to follow the lead of MiB and the EGB. And besides them being fat… they are old.. How are arthritis ridden GB's supposed to run around being action heroes busting ghosts? Let's think practically here.

I know that you said new recruits and not recasts, I addressed that in my post. And a GB movie with new recruits would flop, not one with the original cast. I, for one, would not see a GB movie without the original cast. I'm sure most people would rather see a GB 3 with the originals insted of a new team. Why? Because Bill, Danny, Harold, and Ernie are the Ghostbusters, and no one else.

As I said before, Danny is not fat. I should know, I actually met him in June. Now, you can't tell that he's thinner from the picture, but he looked like he'd lost at least 30 pounds. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-7/266142/3.jpg

And the guys didn't do too much running in the movies anyhow, just a few 3 second scenes, and they're not arthritis ridden eaither.

But who gives a flying f*** if they're old? I'd marry Dan Aykroyd in a heartbeat if he asked me, and he's almost 35 years older than me too! Just because they're in thier 50's doesn't mean that they can't appeal to today's audience.

And Harold does not weigh a ton!!!! You make it sound like he weighs 500 pounds.
