Mass Hysteria! - Ghostbusters 2016 Trailer Review from a Ghosthead

Hello New York!

Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy, and Kate McKinnon in Ghostbusters (2016)

A preface: This is my first post here. Woo! In short, I am an 80's/Sci-Fi/Superhero movie fan with a strong emphasis and way too much knowledge on Ghostbusters, Back the the Future, Bill & Ted, Doctor Who and a number of other properties. Ghostbusters is extremely special and I've been watching it longer than I am able to remember. As a kid I walked around in a Ghostbusters jumpsuit with my plastic proton pack, carrying my Kenner figures and Ecto-1, and strictly called my mother Egon for some reason. In 28 years, only the calling my mom Egon thing has changed.

But enough about me, on to the main subject, a bit of excitement from yesterday!

(Note: some of my post was previously posted in the comments of our We Got One trailer release post yesterday. Sorry if you've read any of this already)

"We got one!" Ghostbusters (2016) Trailer

Well, it's that time of year. It's finally come. After all the talk and discourse it's time for the people of America to gather together and make an important decision that could potentially affect the entire country: "Should we go see the new Ghostbusters?"

Yes, welcome to...

Ghostwatch 2016 will be our up-to-date(d) coverage leading to the Summer release of Ghostbusters (2016). Let's not bury the lead, let's get to watching the first full trailer for the new film.

Well, what do we think? Are you excited? Are you apprehensive? What will the tone be? Let's have a (positive and restrained) discussion in our comment section about this first look of the newest jewel in the GB crown. Myself and Brute Squad member FOX will be moderating.

Here's the earlier teaser trailer.


[Editor's Note: Please, respect everyone in the comment section. I hate to have to say this, I understand Ghostbusters brings up a lot of emotion from people, but that is no reason to get mean or nasty. Passionate is fine, sexist is not. All comments deemed as such will be deleted. Let's have some fun people.]

JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Tintorera...Tiger Shark aka Killer Shark (1977)

Now there is vengeance. There is man versus the sea's deadly high executioner. A monstrous killer is churning up the sea.  I am rolling my eyes. This is Tintorera...Tiger Shark (2977).

JAWS Rip-Off Trailer Tuesday: Mako The Jaws of Death (1976)

Today's film is almost too amazing to be considered "bad"...but it's pretty bad. Where last week we dealt with Universal taking a film to court for being too similar story wise this film ups the gamble by actually having the word "Jaws" in the title. Today we read the mind of Mako: The Jaws of Death (1976).

Ghostbusters Trailer Tuesday: 'Ghostbusters II" (1989)

So, with this week's Ghostbusters Trailer Tuesday we will step in it, sequel territory that it. This is 'Ghostbusters II' (1989).

Ghostbusters Trailer Tuesday: The Summer of 'Ghostbusters' (1984) and After.

Last week we watched the trailer for 'Ghostbusters' (1984) in all it's glory, but what about after the film came out. 'Ghostbusters' (1984) was a monster success and it's influence was felt long after the summer of '84. This GTT we wanted to look at the TV spots and other associated trailers released in the wake of the 'Ghostbusters' effect.

Teaser trailer Tuesday has been given a break for 30 Days of Ghostbusters. In its place we will be looking at trailer associated with...can you guess?
