That one's pretty good.
Are you?
They roasted Gozer pretty good when she stepped on that church...
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man IS Gozer. It's not a separate character and they destroyed her when the portal blew up.
And knock off the condescending attitude. You can either enjoy this for what it is or be a bitch and whine about something you can't change. Choose wisely, Ray.
If you look carefully, Rocky is beating the shit out of Tommy while still wearing his wedding ring.
Standing up for your friend when somebody comes and tries to start shit with them is in no way "asking to be punched."
Why are you defending anything Duke said? Duke was an asshole; fuck Duke. Rocky fighting Tommy in the streets denies Duke what he wanted the most the whole movie-- a huge payday from a Balboa match.
I think you're referring to Michael Bolton's "When I'm Back on My Feet Again"?
Rocky Krakoff was originally supposed to play Rocky Jr. in the earlier sections of the movie and Sage would come in for the later parts. However, when Krakoff proved unavailable, they just had Sage do the whole film. But you should note that in the beginning of the movie, Sage is far more fresh-faced and youthful whereas he's visibly harder looking in the latter parts of the film.
Were you really not paying attention? Rocky does his best to get Tommy the hell out of there. But then Tommy hauls off and punches Paulie and that just wasn't going to stand.
Rocky fights Tommy because Tommy punched his best friend. And he easily knocks the hell out of Tommy and punches him into a pile of trash. Rocky didn't know just how big of a jerk Tommy was and would suckerpunch him from behind, keeping a fight going that had just ended.
The end of the movie takes place at Christmas of 1990, not '89. At the end of the fighting montages, there are magazines with Tommy on the cover reading "Dec. '90."
The Balboas probably still had HBO (a relatively minor luxury in the scheme of things), and "Christmas Vacation" probably would've debuted on HBO around Christmas of 1990.
"Ghostbusters: Afterlife" seems to imply that Egon was wrong about Gozer-- that Gozer DOES have a default form, the Slavitza Jovan/Olivia Wilde feminine form. The whole "take a different form each time" thing is the form Gozer uses to actually attack the world. In the first movie, that was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. In this one, she didn't have time enough to invade anyone's thoughts to choose a "destructor" form.
"I'm starting to think that had Murray not been such a curmudgeon"
That's not what happened. Murray had no qualms about doing a third GB film, but he did have a stipulation--it HAD to be as good or better than the first movie. And the scripts they were giving him (and despite the cavalier way he acted about the topic in public, he read every one of them) were just not up to par.
Obviously, Murray thought this one was special enough to sign on to.
(and if you're wonder what the hell he was doing in the remake, it's because Amy Pascal was threatening to sue him if he didn't appear in it, so instead of deal with a lawsuit, he just did it)
Actually, Gozer is quite a bit MORE powerful in this one. When the GBs try to cross the streams again, she's able to physically rip the streams apart.
And you know that the original "Ghostbusters" was rated PG, right?
Just because the GBs didn't try something in the original movie doesn't mean it's not effective against Gozer.
That isn't true at all.
A theater here in Oklahoma City has matinees for $4.75-ish. That's generally what I pay.
Truthfully, I found Boris far more sensible than the Russian guy.
After "One Her Majesty's Secret Service," at least once, Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan's tenures make reference to Bond's dead wife. Whether you like it or not, they're all the same man.
"They make a few movies with the same actor, then they get a new one and start over."
That is not what they have always done. The only time they "started over" was with Daniel Craig. Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan are all playing the same Bond character. Craig is playing a new Bond character (his Bond did not save the world from Hugo Drax, whereas, say, Pierce Brosnan's did). They have never done something like "No Time to Die" does before.
It looked like another Return to Sender.
Thank you for posting this!
Honestly, this should have remained the ending of the movie. Whilst Lee Marvin's character still dies, it shows that Kuroda legitimately valued his friendship. And for him to kill his Japanese countrymen in war time would've been a huge thing for him to do (possibly lost on American audiences, but not on the Japanese).
Both of the other endings render the film ultimately pointless because everything is back to how it started (even if briefly so in the explosion ending, which comes off a little edge lord-y).
"Amityville III: The Demon" was the title of the movie when it began to play on television (when I first saw it). They changed the title because on home video and VHS, the movie was not in 3-D, so the "Amityville 3-D" title made no sense.
I never saw the movie on VHS, so I don't know if those retained the "3-D" title, but it was definitely "Amityville III: The Demon" on television (with a new title card, of course). That version seems to have disappeared after the movie was remastered for DVD.
