as in you have to keep the protagonists women
Make a porno, Leslie is the gaffe though.
This, ghosts start haunting their veganas & they have to design new ecto blaster dildos to exorcise em
>haunted by their abortions
Fund it.
Magically give them good chemistry.
You can recreate the basic plot and subject matter easily, but the original was lightning in a bottle, you can't recreate it.
>you have to keep the women the same
The actors or the characters? If it's the actors, completely rework their characters. If it's the characters, turn them into an unlikable quadrio of ghosts that the real protagonist, Chris Hemsworth, destroys.
it was cool tho
Just show the video of Leslie doing anal and the twist at the end is you are the ghost!
don't let them adlib, have competent writers, set it in an alt universe or just have them in another city trying to ape the success of ghostbusters in New York
don't have the press attack anyone who disagrees or points out the flaws
Make it an actual sequel about the old gang training new recruits
>get rid of the moronic government funding plotline
>get rid of the shitty adlib
>make Chris Hemsworth the pov character instead of whatsherface, maybe give him some funny narration to put a buffer between the women and the audience
>get rid of all the cameos and hire no-names so instead of waiting around for "that guy from that movie" to do something funny we can get on with the actual movie and god forbid maybe tell a joke that the audience doesn't see coming
>make special effects that have some impact, not just pretty lights and neon spunk, it needs some actual gross shit
>get rid of the shitty adlib
#1 most important for me
Perhaps this kind of direction would do the trick?
Replace the director with someone who isn't "friends" with the cast and will tell them to shut the frick up. The cast could have been fine, but SONY and Fieg are just awful.
telling them to shut the frick up implies they were interrupting a script worth making into a film
I don't remember the script, but I do remember the terrible improv.
Only reason those were the women cast was because he was director. Before they hired him, Sony was still planning on using guys. Awful guys like Channing Tatum and Seth Rogan, but guys still.
>film it actually in new york
>tie it into the old Ghostbusters, have Hemsworth play Oscar as the ditsy caretaker who doesn't know how physics works so he hires a bunch of women scientists
I actually thought Hemsworth would turn out to be baby Oscar.
Then come to find out it’s a different continuity
Give them some actual goddamn characterization instead of all them being exactly the same then have them do other things beside sit around shooting "jokes" at each other.
Don't have them accidentally murder the skeptic guy and then immediately forget about it. Did anyone even clean up his corpse that would've landed on the sidewalk outside their building? Contact his next of kin or something.
Ban all improvisation would have helped a lot.
Step 1: Entire script goes into the shredder
Step 2: Hire one actually good scriptwriter
Step 3: Actually good writer creates actually good story
Step 4: Strict ban on improv
Step 5: Film the fricking movie
There was no script. They just had an outline and rolled the cameras and said “be funny”
Replace the sheboon with Fortune Feimster and cut back all the shitty cgi.
Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, and David Spade like they originally planned would have been great. Getting spooked by ghosts and slimed was the role Farley was born to play.
Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen would be better picks. 20 years ago, anyway.
Have them be the only funny characters in the movie. In the 1984, the Ghostbusters are the only really funny characters in an otherwise normal world. And even between them, Venkman is the only really outwardly funny one. In the 2016 movie, everyone is goofy. Not every character needs to be some wacky, over the top cartoon. The villain was so silly, he never came off as any kind of threat.
Make it an over the top gore fest where incredibly racist, sexist ghosts kill the incompetent female Ghostbusters in hilarious ways
the 2016 version was racist because they had the black actress adopt tired and played out cliche's surrounding larger black women. I would have her act like a regular person who happened to be black, like Winston in the original.
I'd get rid of the fat frick and have the other two constantly making out because I don't feel that actual lesbians receive enough representation in today's media and I would like to jerk off to it.
Make it funny. At least a little.
the women just get fricked by ghosts in their poopers for four hours. the ghosts jizz is that slime hi-c juice they used to sell. bring it back for the movie. also they all die at the end.
Have them get run over by a bus in the first scene. The rest of the movie is just a close-up of my balls.
The movie starts alright. Erin is reasonably relatable and easy to root for. At least at the beginning.
The movie starts to come apart when Erin meets Abby and Jillian. As soon as they meet, Ab+Ji start to bully Erin. If you've seen a comedy before, you would get the impression that this was a setup for something. You might think that there will be a punchline. You might imagine that maybe Erin will interrupt the buttholes for a moment and show them that she now owns their lease or some other turn that causes them to immediately regret bullying them. If you expected any kind of punchline, you would have been wrong. They just keep bullying Erin, until the plot requires them to then extort her. And at some point, Patty is hired.
The movie has that problem the whole way through. They wander around the city just being buttholes to everybody. Even Erin joins in. It's like everyone in the movie wanted to be Bill Murray's character, with nothing to balance it out. As an audience member, I really didn't care if they won anymore. I kinda would have preferred if someone dropped a piano on them.
If you want to improve the movie, fix all that. Have some comedy with some damn punchlines. Give the characters some kind of frailty that the audience can sympathize with. Fewer buttholes.
Caring about the sanctity of fricking ghostbusters is the most autistic thing you could do. It’s a comedy movie series for fricks sake, when I see people complain about some part of it not fitting in the canon or lore or whatever I just think they must have actual autism since it has never once been made to be taken seriously
It’s like complaining about One Punch Man or Airplane or something, it’s a comedy movie for 12 year olds you complete dimwits. If you want a property that takes itself seriously you aren’t even in the right genre
