    I could have sworn I heard Daniel Craig was done as Bond. I was looking forward to someone else taking over the role. I do really like Craig as an actor, but Bond is just so wrong for him. The guy doesn't fit the character at all.

    I think He and Dalton are the closest resemblances to Fleming’s original Bond character. Dalton was a great Bond in lower-par Bond movies.

    I agree with Crown, he definitely resembles the early versions of Bond in the books more than anyone else, even Dalton I think. Roger Moore, Brosnan and even Connery to an extent were more like cartoon characters come-to-life.

    He actually collected spores, moulds and fungus!

    What? No all-female cast with a sassy black chick cracking wise? How could this be good?

    ...by doing the exact opposite of what you just said. But we already knew that.

    This looks GREAT. Fans will no doubt like it takes place in the original film’s universe, while creating a unique setting and story for it.

    This is a gimmick too. They took Stranger Things and added some ghostbusters props to it. It will be bad.

    It’s a teaser. They haven’t even hinted in it that Murray and Akroyd (now legally insane) will be reprising their roles.

    To be fair, every single aspect of Stranger Things is a gimmick based on 80s movies, Ghostbusters included.

    The fact that its directed by Ivan Reitman's son is encouraging, the fact that its made by Sony is not.

    That’s the part I hated. Sony should have stuck to making stereos, they are not good at making films.

    To be fair, that is Murray’s voice-over with the “call it fate...everything happens for a reason” line. I’m not sure if it’s the original audio or a new recording.

    Jason Reitman does cut above movies, I wouldn't write it completely off, but I do agree the premise is straight Stranger Things with Ghostbusters added in. Even got the same kid. Thematically it is going to be way different being focused on kids than the original adults.

    Also, I dug Ghostbusters 2. What?

    Yeah, I like GB2 also. Its a decent sequel even if the villain is silly. Its not the first one, but its not nearly deserving of the hate heaped upon it.

    I wasn’t aware of the hate. Fans like it and some critics liked it. It managed to not recycle the same story, brought in new “gear”, it’s one weakness was a lack of likeable new characters. And no Ernie Hudson moustache.

    One of the episodes of "The Movies That Made Us" on Netflix is on Ghostbusters (Ghost Breakers!). It's fun. That series is not really groundbreaking, and it's a lot of chopped up, repeated stuff, but it's relatively entertaining. I enjoyed the Die Hard one, though I wish they could've gotten Bruce Willis to interview.

    ETA: Watched the Home Alone one during lunchtime today. It's my favorite one yet.

    I watched the Die Hard one, show was so over cooked and the voice over host was annoying as fuck I couldn't manage to finish it even with some behind the scenes footage Id never seen.

    Yep, all that. But, if you like Home Alone at all, watch that one. It's worth it, and was done better.
