Well guys, I just got back from the show, it was a great night. I'll post some details with some pics I made for a fun bonus, I hope you enjoy them! I saw the Ghostbusters & The Thing! Are you ready?
Pre-Ghostbusters showing! When I got My tickets I saw a young gal & guy as GBs! I gave'em a thumbs up and said awesome to them:D
The Ghostbusters Showing! A ton of people was there, nearly a sell out! After eating My Hot dog & Nachos and Cheese, the movie's starting time was almost near. The guy I saw as a GB came in and introduced himself that he was part of a GB association. He gave us history lessons of GB and stuff. A little kid asked him if the movie is scary and he replied "oh yeah, its terrifying but there is comedy so that is good". He asked if anybody else had questions and I said to him I do but it's not a question, I'm glad to see and know that he's a GB historian, that is so cool! I'm not sure what he thought about that. So he spoke some more about the film and the usual about GB 3 stuff then he left. He was a nice guy. His costume seemed very authentic (very similar like Tripoli and the rest of you dudes!) and really he was a nice treat! There was some little kids there, around the age i was when I first the film in 84, I'm like I hope they know what their watching and their parents taught them well about GB and how special it is! Oh by the way, there was a guy in audience there with a GB suit, no proton pack and also a kid was dressed up in a GB suit but with a proton pack!
The movie starts and it's the same old Ghostbusters film that I love. The picture from beginning to end seemed flawless, it was like perfect! Such an epic classic. Seeing the 4 guys and the rest is just fun. The special effects to Me still holds it's own even by today's standards! The score by Elmer Bernstein and the rest of the songs are still superb! It was ALL just so great! After the movie was over and Slimer went to the camera I clapped and the everybody clapped as well, yep I started it!
Last night was the final showing of Ghostbusters here and I'm so thankful that I got to see it again, two years in a row at the same theater around the same time!
I leave the room, eat pizza, toasted ravs and fries and watch the World Series at their nice diner and then play a giant claw machine at their arcades and get Mr. Plow/Homer Simpson! Almost got Jerry the Mouse as well. Then it is almost time to see the Thing!
Pre-information about The Thing! I loved the 1951 classic but I really digged John Carpenter's version. I'm a big fan of his. It's unbelievable that it had been 30 years for this to be made. Like Tron: Legacy, a much needed sequel of Tron, (another one that just came in about 30 years) it was very necessary to continue the Thing story and make it a prequel and NOT a remake! In My opinion if there was anything to continue The Thing's story it HAD TO BE A PREQUEL!
The Thing! I was very pleased with the story, acting, actors, special effects and score! The lead by Mary Elizabeth Winstead was surprisingly good. I like her, a really nice looking cool gal. Joel Edgerton and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje were quite good as well. Seeing the great continuance of the alien and actually seeing it's spaceship was fantastic. Gory yes but CGI gore. Marco Beltrami's score is phenomenal and dynamic, the score of the year (so far)! Not familiar with the director & crew but it was very much like the 82 film, it seemed like they were destined to do this! I digged this movie as well, I seen a lot this year and I think it's the best film I saw at the theater thus far!
Aftermath! WOW, I saw a classic movie and new prequel, that is just so dang great and fun! I'm very thankful for this! Now I'm hoping that soon Ghostbusters 2 and the 1982 The Thing will be showing soon! I saw GB2 in 89 at the show but would love to see it again and i was way too young to see the 82 Thing, I'd love to have the chance to see it now! It's a very, very long shot but it could happen and if it does I'll be there!
So there you go guys, you got questions, I may have the answers, LOL. Comments are welcomed and appreciated, thanks in advance!
Talk about anything Ghostbusters, show your love for it, what it means to you and everything else!
