Sony getting hacked thoughts…

Leave a comment

I think what’s going on with Sony is real sad. They don’t deserve that at all. Becoming a victim of hacking is not cool. Why are people doing this to them?

It could be that Kim Jong-un (Sp?) and North Korea are hacking Sony themselves as in retaliation for releasing that movie, “The Interview” w/ James Franco and Seth Rogen when they were told not to. Kim Jong-un threatened Sony not to release the film ’cause he felt it was offensive to him but of course, Sony ignored him and released the film anyways.

It could be that or the hacking could be by a bunch of losers with no jobs that have way too much time on their hands.

Sony getting hacked revealing top secret movie news that’s not supposed to be released yet, celebrities getting attacked like Angelina Jolie and Tom Hanks, many others. Crazy.

Hacking is becoming the next big thing in the technology world which is sad. That’s the way it goes, though. The bigger technology gets, the more it becomes “hacker” friendly.

I have no interest in seeing, “The Interview” film, by the way. I’ll still see it but I’ll wait for DVD rental for that one. I’m not really a big fan of either Franco and Rogen anyways. Both are terribly overrated actors and not that funny either. The only film I liked with James Franco in it was “127 Hours”.

Other than that, I hope Sony will be successful in finding out who is behind the hacking and hope they’ll get those responsible. It’s gonna be difficult, though. I don’t think they’ll ever find out who is behind the hacking ’cause it’ll be hard to trace them. They’re probably using proxy servers and all that stuff.

People who hack into others computers are usually people with no lives, though. They got nothing going on and that’s all they do.

Sony still wants Bill Murray for “Ghostbusters” all-female reboot film…

1 Comment

Sony won’t leave Bill Murray alone on being in the new “Ghostbusters” re-boot film. If you think about it, when Bill responded to the idea that he liked the all-female Ghosbusters… he never really said, “No, he’s not gonna be in it”. He just gave the new plot idea positive feedback. Since the new “Ghostbusters” film will be all female, it’ll be impossible for Bill to have a leading role in the film.

Sony kept bugging Bill to be in the new “Ghostbusters” film and they still are bugging him about it. Bill kept turning it down ’cause he didn’t want to be in another big studio franchise; however, he did say that he is open for a cameo appearance if the script was right. So that means that Bill is not ruling out an appearance in the film. He’s saying never say never.

I don’t care how long of an appearance Bill Murray gets for the film, I just want him to be involved somehow since it won’t be a “Ghostbusters” movie without him. A cameo for Bill would be fine. I’m all for that!

Ernie Hudson was correct… fans don’t wanna see the “Ghostbusters” all-female reboot…

1 Comment

When you look at feedback from the fans of the new “Ghostbusters” all-female reboot through facebook, blogs and movie forums… you read comments from fans about the new film… you’ll notice immediately that the criticism toward the “Ghostbusters” re-boot is mostly negative. I’m not seeing too much positive feedback at all. Most every response by a user is a negative comment aimed at the new film. This means that Ernie Hudson was correct… fans don’t wanna see it. This is something the fans don’t wanna see.

What the fans originally wanted to see was a third continuation. A third film adding to the trilogy with the 4 original Ghostbusters: Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston. Since Harold Ramis died earlier this year, it’s impossible to make a Ghostbusters reunion happen now.

With all of this negative feedback Sony have gotten over the new Ghostbusters re-boot… Sony doesn’t care. They’re not listening to the fans and Sony is moving ahead with it anyway. So far nobody likes the idea of an all female re-boot. Even women are trashing the all-female idea and female fans want the Ghostbusters to stay as male.

My question is, why was Sony quick on changing the storyline direction to all-female re-boot? Dan Aykroyd originally wanted this to be a continuation of the first two films. So Sony approached Paul Feig to direct in which Paul’s previous films are mostly chick flicks. Paul Feig is obsessed with this all-female thing. Paul gave Sony the idea that he wanted Ghostbusters to be all female… Sony and Dan Aykroyd must of agreed with him. Instead of giving what the fans want, they instead do things that pleases themselves.

As you can see, it’s very difficult and challenging to make a good “Ghostbusters” movie in this day and age. Very hard to pull off. The original Ghostbusters are aging, one of ’em died and the others don’t really wanna do it well except for Dan Aykroyd, he’s the only one that he’s game for it of course ’cause this is his movie.

The thing is, everyone just wants it to be a “true” Ghostbusters movie. The all-female thing is not true Ghostbusters… that’s what everyone is complaining about and I hear them. At first I thought it was a good idea but after thinking about it, I thought to myself… “Eh, maybe they’re right, the all female thing is kind of silly”. They’re just desperate for a box office hit.

Dan is the one who started this project. He’s the who got it going and got everyone together to make it happen. I wish Harold Ramis didn’t die. If he was still here, he would’ve stopped the all-female thing from happening and he would have done what it took to make Ghostbusters fans happy.

Another reason we don’t want this to be a “re-boot” is ’cause there are too many reboots in Hollywood and we’re sick of ’em. We just don’t want this happening to Ghostbusters since the Ghostbusters are considered important classics especially the first one. I can understand why everyone is complaining.

Since Harold died and Bill Murray wants no part of it, Sony should really leave this alone and throw this project in the trash but nope. Sony is committed to this project obviously.

I think it’s interesting of how much controversy that comes out of making the new Ghostbusters. I’m sure Dan Aykroyd will explain more and defend the project when he starts doing interviews again. We’ll soon learn more about the changes of this project.

Fans wanna see a good Ghostbusters movie, that’s all we pretty much want. Come on Dan, speak up and give us some answers!!!

Ernie Hudson slams “Ghostbusters” re-boot… he says making it all female is not “Ghostbusters”…

Leave a comment

Welp… look like we aren’t gonna see Winston Zeddemore in the new “Ghostbusters” ’cause the actor who plays the character doesn’t agree with the all-female Ghostbusters idea. Click the article above and read what have to say. He makes a lot of sense, I guess.

In my opinion, it isn’t Ghostbusters without the 4 original characters: Ray, Peter, Egon and Winston. Ray is probably gonna be in the new film in some form but if the other guys aren’t, then why call it Ghostbusters, ya know?

I can’t see Ghostbusters being good without Ivan Reitman helming it. I don’t think Paul has what it takes to put horror and comedy together.

I was on board of a new film until Harold died. After Harold died, I thought to myself, “A Ghostbusters film cannot be good without Harold being involved so they might as well trash the project”… of course, they didn’t. I’m predicting a box office bomber with this film… nobody’s gonna see this.

Bill Murray said an all-female Ghostbuster film is a good idea but Ernie decided to have some balls and have a different opinion on it. Kudos to Ernie for keeping it real!!! \m/

Paul Feig talks more on “Ghostbusters” re-boot…

Leave a comment

Originally, Dan Aykroyd visioned this movie as a continuation of some sort, leaving off from where “Ghosbusters II” ended. Dan’s original idea was that he wanted new recruits for the new Ghostbusters… 3 new young males and 1 female being trained by the 4 original Ghostbusters (Ray, Peter, Winston and Egon). Since Harold Ramis passed away, Ivan Reitman stepped down from directing and Bill Murray finally saying “No”… the creative direction spiraled out of control and the story had to make some changes.

After Sony approached director Paul Feig, Paul gave them the idea that he wanted the Ghostbusters to be all female and Sony agreed with the idea.

Paul explains that this new movie is a complete reboot. A new origin story. It will not have anything to do with the previous Ghostbusters films at all. Kind of like “Man of Steel” not having anything to do with the earlier Superman films. Paul doesn’t explain the plot to the new Ghostbusters, he’s keeping it under wraps for now but he does give us some of his ideas a little bit.

Am I the only one who haven’t seen “Bridesmaids” or “The Heat”? I’m not a chick flick kind of guy so I’d probably stay away from these movies and from what I’ve seen both of those movies got mixed reviews.

Even though I am losing interest in the new “Ghostbusters” film, I still hope we get a Louis Tully cameo. Rick Moranis coming back for a short role would be awesome. Seeing the new “Ghostbusters” film for Louis Tully alone would be worth it!!! If Louis Tully comes back that would be good enough to be in line for it.

I’m still betting my money that Melissa McCarthy is gonna be the first one to get casted.

I’ll have to admit that I’m losing interest in “Ghostbusters III”…

Leave a comment

Today it was announced that director Paul Feig is confirmed to helm the new “Ghostbusters” film along w/ Katie Dippold to help him write the script. Like the title of this post says, I’m losing interest in the new Ghostbusters film. I think I started to lose interest in it when Harold Ramis died and Ivan Reitman stepped down. Then Bill Murray finally said no.

Then there’s gonna be the possibility that Melissa McCarthy is gonna be the big star of the film and it’s probably gonna happen. Don’t be surprised. I don’t wanna see a huge woman running around in a Ghostbusters suit running out of breath with a heavy proton pack. I saw one movie with Melissa McCarthy and that was “Identity Thief” and it wasn’t that great. Melissa is not that good of a comedian. It’s not because of her weight at all. It’s just that she’s a bad actress, annoying and not funny.

Since the original Ghostbusters crew: Ramis, Murray and Reitman aren’t gonna be involved then I’m not gonna be interested. This is the reason I think this film is gonna bomb horribly. This is also why I think they’re gonna get Melissa McCarthy for the role hoping to get more people to see it and they know this film is gonna bomb without her. It’s obvious they’re gonna get Melissa for this and don’t be surprised that when they start casting, she’ll be the first one to get announced. I’m betting my money on it.

You figure that Sony would scrap this project after the passing of Harold but nope. Sure enough, they had to continue on. This film is Dan Aykroyd’s baby, he’s the one who got it going so he’s definitely committed to it no matter if the original team is gonna be involved and he doesn’t care about the public’s criticism toward the film… he’s moving forward with it whether people likes it or not.

Most Ghostbusters fans are pretty skeptical with the next film and I hear them. I’ll admit it that I don’t want the film to happen now that Ramis, Murray and Reitman aren’t involved. I’m not interested in a complete re-boot, I was hoping for a continuation with the 4 original Ghostbusters like most fans.

This film is gonna flop hard. I don’t know why Dan is desperate to get this made. Probably needs the money and desperate to get back in the Hollywood spotlight.

Speaking of “Ghostbusters III” what are they gonna do with the theme song???

2 Comments

Since “Ghostbusters III” is finally moving forward, I wonder what Sony is planning to do with the theme song. Will they bring back the original Ray Parker Jr. song? I think they should.

Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me that Sony would give “Ghostbusters 3” that song another version. I remember in “Ghostbusters 2”, they had Run DMC do a remix version. Will they give the theme another version for “G III”???

I wouldn’t be surprised that since the 4 Ghostbusters will be all female, they’ll give the Ray Parker Jr. song a pop music version like have Lady Gaga or Rihanna sing a version. Give the version electric beats and sounds. They’ll make this version that’ll sound like the current pop music of today.

I do hope they keep the original theme, though. We’ll have to wait and see what they’re gonna do with the theme song.

Bill Murray gives all female “Ghostbusters” his blessings…

Leave a comment

Bill Murray responds to “Ghostbusters 3” again and he actually likes Sony’s new idea of turning Ghostbusters to all female. Look like he is definitely all for it; however, Bill is still tight-lipped on whether or not he’s gonna be in it.

http://comicbook.com/2014/09/06/bill-murray-gives-his-blessing-to-female-ghostbusters-3/

It may look like that Bill Murray may not be in the new film but still though, never say never. Since he replied positively to the new idea… never know… maybe he’ll be up for a cameo or something??? I hope he gives us something. It’s not Ghostbusters without our Peter Venkman.

More on “Ghostbusters III”…

4 Comments

I was just doing a little research on “Ghostbusters III” and the reason that Dr. Ray Stantz won’t be able to catch ghosts by himself is that it isn’t only because of his age. It’s just that he has knee problems, he might be blind in one eye, he’ll be having hip issues and he’ll be too fat to fit into his Ghostbusters jumpsuit. Of course, things could always change with the script re-writes and all that stuff.

As you read here: http://ghostbusters.wikia.com/wiki/Ghostbusters_III

… the original idea was that they were gonna go for three young men and one young girl in their 20’s so obviously they changed it to 4 young girls instead.

Even though Bill Murray still hasn’t said anything on whether or not he’s gonna reprise his role as Peter Venkman, never say never. There’s still plenty of time for him to respond still. Dan said Bill is always welcome when he wants to. So if Bill says yes, it’ll probably be for a short role. I really do hope Bill signs on. It’ll definitely help the box office if he agrees to appear. Bill is just like the rest of us, he wants the third one to be good. He’s taking the script seriously. I hope Bill goes for it… we’ll have to wait and see. That’ll be cool to see Ray and Peter train the 4 girls together.

I’m a huge Ghostbusters fan. I’m only a fan of the first one. The first one is a classic. I didn’t like the 2nd one that much. The only scene I liked in “Ghostbusters 2” was when Louis Tully tried to defend the Ghostbusters by saying something like, “I was taken over by a dog and they helped me” and Egon responded with, “Very good Louis. Short but pointless”. That was the best scene of the whole movie but other than that, the film was trash. I can understand why people would be skeptical of GIII.

When Ray Stantz returns, he’ll be the same old crazy Dr. Ray. When the girls catch their first ghost, I can see Ray going nuts like, “WOW, that’s great!!!” Like he always does. Even though Dan haven’t played the character in a long time, I’m sure he’s gonna kill it. Dan did a great job voicing the character for the Video Game so he will be able to play the character well with no problem.

I like Dan Aykroyd. Always did. The guy is a legend and a comic genius. I’ve always admired his speed-talking skills which is what he’s most famous for.

Hopefully, they’ll finally start filming “GIII” in 2015. They’ve been wanting to do this movie since the 2nd one and glad they’re finally getting closer to finally making it.

An all female Ghostbusters group could work… and I’m willing to give it a chance!!!

Leave a comment

With Harold Ramis now being dead and Bill Murray still no longer wants any part of Ghostbusters at all, it makes a lot of sense to reboot Ghostbusters. The idea of “Ghostbusters 3” is that the original Ghostbusters will pass the torch to new and young “Ghostbusters”. In the beginning, they were gonna do an all young male group but they changed it to an all female Ghostbusters group.

I actually like an all female Ghostbusters group. While the plot to the new Ghostbusters movie haven’t been revealed yet… you can still get an idea of what the plot is going to be. This movie is gonna be about Dr. Ray Stantz training new rookie’s to be new Ghostbusters. Since Harold Ramis is now gone, they’re probably gonna make it so that Dr. Egon Spengler is gonna be dead in the film. Since Bill Murray is still not in, they’re probably gonna make it that Dr. Peter Venkman has retired and moved on. Who knows what happened to Winston Zeddemore? Ray is still the only Ghostbuster. Ray is getting old and he wants to move on and to retire. New York City is still being attacked by ghosts all over the place and Dr. Ray Stantz can’t do it all by himself ’cause of his age so he’s looking for new recruits.

Dr. Ray Stantz goes around looking for new people to be a part of the new Ghostbusters team. He couldn’t find anybody that would work so he figures that young females would be better. Why would young females be better? Probably because they are smart. More physical. Young women can move quicker and faster. Young women have the ability to catch ghosts. Ghosts would probably communicate with women better than men. Ray finds that young women are better at catching ghosts than men. That’s why he have chosen young women.

I don’t think young men as Ghostbusters would work ’cause they wouldn’t be a box office draw. Young women would be a box office draw. They would probably make the young women good looking and sexy.

Ghostbusters is a mix of comedy, action, horror and science-fiction. All mixed into one and “Ghostbusters 3” will still be the same. We will still get the same equipment and gadgets like the Proton packs, P.K.E. Meters, traps but I’m sure we’ll get a different design. I’m sure Ghostbusters uniform will still be the same. With new technology in filming these days, we will definitely get more CGI and all kinds of cool special effects with the new movie.

The new Ghostbusters will still be in the same style as the first one, just with young females instead. Having men being the heroes is getting old. It’s time for something different and something new. I think an all girl Ghostbusters is a nice idea and I’m willing to give it a chance. An all female Ghostbusters is already creating controversy. Fans are bashing this idea like crazy but honestly, I think they’ll like it when the actual movie comes out.

I think the girls have what it takes to put on an entertaining as hell Ghostbusters movie. I’m sure they’ll keep it funny and comical just like the original.

I’m sure Slimer and Stay Puff the Marshmellow Man will make an appearance. Hopefully, we get a few surprising cameos by characters of the original Ghostbusters film. It’ll be kind of sweet if Rick Moranis makes a cameo as Louis Tully. Maybe Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) could make a cameo too.

I’m interested in seeing how they’re gonna pull this off. Sony and Dan Aykroyd seems committed with this project. They’re gonna move forward with it despite the mixed criticism. I’m glad “G3” is finally happening. Now that they got a director, they should start casting soon and it’ll be interesting who they’ll pick for new Ghosbusters.

I’m sure the new “Ghostbusters” will be a success and will be a box office smash. I think young women deserve this opportunity. Mr. Aykroyd is doing a good thing.
