Mr. Plinkett's Ghostbusters (2016) Review

[@devoinc1]

I honestly thought the director was an actor pretending to be a pompous director.

[@malmstring]

Paul Feig shouldn't direct. To me he seems totally out of his natural element - which seems more to be marketing/advertising. He has that polished front saying a lot of politically correct things that means nothing and trying to convince the other party he's constantly right. There must be a cultural problem within Sony films. I can't see how this hack would ever be trusted with a big time production like this even just 10-15 years ago.

[@chartreux1532]

Fun Fact regarding his last name "Feig" & what it means as it is of German Origin (Sorry that he ended up in the USA and create this Movie) In the 1700s when Germans who did not have a Family Name yet had to adopt Family Names per Decree, Families had to choose Names. So the Name "Feig/Feige" means "Fig" as in the Fruit. But "Feig/Feige" also is what you call someone who is a Coward, usually someone who is afraid of both Physical Confrontation but also afraid of Criticism or to "face" something. So f.e. "Du bist feig/feige" = engl.: "You are cowardly." Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

The main problem with this movie is the writers/producers think that references are "jokes." References are NOT "jokes." Jokes are carefully crafted, with a setup and a payoff and they take time and effort to create.

[@duanebarry2817]

And yet, people still love Family Guy. I guess references can be funny if done correctly.

[@tohrazul]

Which is the great thing about the original, it was funny without being full of jokes. The best/funniest lines came from Bill Murray, and it wasn't a standard "joke" format of setup punchline (mostly), although there were several of those. He was that friend we all have who is just funny because they say something witty at the right moment. Things that most people wouldn't think even could be a setup for a joke, get turned into a joke. More so, it works because it isn't "setup" in the way you would, where you know there's a punchline coming next. The best example is when they are in the mayors office and Walter Peck is going on about environmental hazards and noxious fumes. Everyone is playing it straight (which is one of the keys to the film's success), and Ray sets up the joke by insulting Peck, "Everything was fine until dickless here shut off the containment grid." (Mayor) "Is this true?" (The best part is that he is asking the question to the room, not anyone specific) (Venkman) "Yes, it's true. "This man has no dick." It's a completely smart ass and insulting thing to say, and it's played completely straight- which is why it works as a joke. No one laughs at how funny it is. Chaos ensues, Peck tries to get at Venkman and has to be restrained by the police. Venkman pulls another line out "Well that's what I heard!" referencing what Ray had just said- showing he doesn't actually have an answer to the Mayor's question, and was just being an asshole to Peck. It's brilliant, and it's funny; not because it follows the traditional setup-punchline formula, but because it fits with what Venkman would do as a character. It's the sort of thing that that one friend would say, and then move on from- because they are just being a smart ass, not because it's meant to be a "joke."

[@devilsmechanic5156]

ugh...i know a guy & almost everything he says is a reference to something, nothing original & he likes the obscure references more than the popular ones. it gets tiresome

[@sixstanger00]

Duane Barry Family Guy does parodies. Not references.

[@sixstanger00]

The main problem with this movie is that it was a blatantly obvious attempt to retcon a successful all-male lead cast franchise by swapping the genders of the characters in some kind of insulting statement about equality for women & feminism. It's why Feig relented creative control to the actresses -- the goal here was clearly to make a female Ghostbusters, inspired by women, portrayed by women, for women. It's a premiere example of how shitty a film or TV series can be when the production crew emphasizes sociopolitical soapbox preaching over a carefully crafted, well-written, well-thought out story. Nobody was asking for this to be made. Not even feminists. No GB fan, regardless of gender, gave a rat's ass that all 4 lead characters were male. If the argument is that, "the original GB was sexist because all the main characters were male," then this film should therefore suffer from the same exact form of sexism, just with the genders swapped. Epic fail.

Bill Murray is well known to adlib his way through most of his films, but if you actually look up and read the shooting script for the original Ghostbusters movie (and you can, it's available for free), there is very little difference between the dialogue written for Peter Venkman and what Bill Murray actually says in the movie.

You’re right. It’s unreal that this guy, who basically impersonates Buffalo Bill while doing movie reviews (which are fucking hilarious) for a KZbin channel, does 8,000 times better at editing a film than “Hollywood pros”. And for free! And with no budget! I take it back. It’s not unreal. It’s infuriating. All the hours of unfunny improv, all the wasted film, all the wasted time, all the wasted money. All to make a total piece of shit movie. This is why so many people hate Hollywood these days. You waste that much money and resources and we’re still supposed to believe you’re good people, artists who’ve mastered their crafts, and intellectuals who we should listen to when it comes to things like voting. Plinkett made me laugh, per usual. But that still couldn’t get around how much the very idea, let alone the execution, of this movie pisses me off. Hollywood is dead. I have infinitely more fun watching KZbin make fun of it for free. There’s actual REAL talent out there in the basements of the world, keeping great big fat women locked away, spoiling their bichon frisés rotten.

A Ghostbusters sequel could have been better. 30 years after Stay Puft, Egon Spengler dies. Financially troubled huckster, Melissa McCarthy inherits all Egon's gear that hasn't been touched for decades; the proton packs, Ecto1, the firehouse... Melissa thinks its all crap but MIT engineers, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig, had been pestering Egon for years, hoping to learn more about his work. Egon had always rebuffed them but now Kris and Kate approach Melissa, who reluctantly opens up the firehouse to paw through the trash hoping to find something valuable. They discover Leslie Jones working at the Firehouse. Egon had been paying Leslie to take care of the firehouse as sort of a custodian/guard/janitor. Leslie's no scientist but it turns out she knows more about the practical workings of the gear than anybody else. Between Leslie and Kate, Melissa realizes that reopening Ghostbusters would generate more money than selling the building but only if she can get all four of them to work together. Hilarity ensues...

In fairness to Paul Feig, trailers today are not often cut by the studio making the film, but by a completely separate marking firm who has no idea what the film is supposed to be about. They are rarely even given a complete film. Just a collection of scenes that aren't even ordered properly. Occasionally they even get instructions from executives to cut a trailer a certain way that completely changes the tone of the film.

The actors could then advise what the character they'd studied for months would and wouldn't do or say. And Scheider ad libbed the "bigger boat" line. And Robert Shaw was himself a screenwriter.

I have to believe with nearly 5mil views that Paul Feig has to be one of them. We could probably find him somewhere in the comments under some pseudonym like GhostJizz57

[@Rationalific]

The only thing positive to come out of that movie was this fantastic hour of entertainment that consisted of objectively ripping it apart.

[@amisner2k]

Now that's looking on the bright side.

[@Doctors_TARDIS]

You misspelled "ecto cooler came back"

[@evilcam]

I think, that is the case for 100% of movies in the last 10 years. I don't even bother watching them anymore, but I never miss RLM tearing them apart...or praising them as is the case in re:views and the occasional HitB. I have zero interest in movies, but I greatly enjoy watching alcoholics, and Rich, make fun of them on this channel.

[@JSchaffer214]

I don't know if it's the "only" good thing to come out of it. I mean, it kinda seems like it may have actually ruined Paul Feig's career. Only time will tell for sure.

[@HughMansonMD]

I now have the uncontrollable urge to hate dunkin' donuts unconditionally and never go there ever again.

But you have to admit that clip was fucking amazing.

[@arsarma1808]

My Dunkin’ Donuts is attached to my local baskin robins so I will never be free of them.

Lmaooo when hes zooming in on the faces of those other people on set.

[@patrickthomas8890]

This is the epitome of why comedy movies died…they all devolved into endless improv and EVERY SINGLE PERSON tries (and fails) to be funny by acting unrealistically obnoxious, dumb, or awkward. Nobody is willing to be the straight guy

[@RickDawg527]

This review was waaaaaay more funny and interesting than the movie. I actually laughed out loud alot watching this. Hahahahaha

[@ShiddyShad808]

RickDawg527 As îs the case with all of Plinkett’s reviews.

[@Station9.75]

"He's, actually, already moved on to his next writing project... his suicide letter..."

[@tetsmcgee]

Stop dancing

[@Ghenry]

It's really distracting how things in the new movie, including special effects and people, randomly go beyond the letterbox. Was that intentional?

[@Brandon-bc1fz]

Yep.

[@poptop89]

I believe that was for the 3D version. I only saw it once, not in 3D, and I don't remember that ever happening.

[@liamf2300]

Hey it's one of the best dead rising you tubers commenting on a random video

[@MattWileyArt]

They did it in Life of Pi. But Pi actually tried to make a movie.

[@CubularCreeper]

thats how they translate 3d scenes into a 2d format

[@1f5sda]

Rick Moranis was smart to say no to this film! I'm also glad I didn't see this film at all.

[@AcidFink666]

I still haven't watched that steaming pile but I've watched this Plinkett review half a dozen times

[@StRoRo]

I've never seen the new Ghostbusters but the clips where effects go over black bars are annoying as shit.

[@seth8089]

is that in the original movie? it's so bad

[@samwyse2006]

I had to crop the movie to 16:9 midway through, because the effects bleeding over the edges was distracting as fuck. I don't think I lost any amazing cinematography.

[@sarahl701]

had to rewind to make sure I wasn't imagining things, holy shit!

[@reloadpsi]

Wow, that Sonic fan movie was quite the trend setter. (There's a scene in which Sonic jumps off a Motobug and crosses the black bar.)

[@getthegoons]

ReloadPsi what are you talking about

[@Themanlyarts]

This movie is a great example of what studios (especially Sony) rely on now: framing. Framing tells the audience how they should feel about a movie even before they see it. In this new movie, the audience knows that its a comedy with funny, likable characters who are now being played by a cast of comedians. Do you get it? This movie is telling you that its going to be funny. Don't worry that that joke seemed flat, the next one will be funny because these are funny people in a comedy. Its like a fucking laugh track. If you aren't thinking about it, you just sit there and laugh like a moron. Imagine that this was a standalone movie with an unknown cast. Would you like random people standing around and constantly blabbering? No way, you idiot. Another example of this is Man of Steel. Superman is a superhero who saves people and the day because he's a hero. No need for the writers to add in any crucial pieces about character development or likability. Does he get a triumphant rescue montage? Nah, we don't need one: everyone gets it from the moment they saw the first ad. Doesn't it seem creepy that this kid was taught by his parents that its better to not help people, even if it means that other people die? Nope! We all know that little Superman turns out to be a great hero. Just turn your brain off and ignore that he let millions of people die! We all know that he's saved that city dozens of times in the comics and in other movies. Or fuck, just look at Adam Sandler's new shit. Try asking someone if they liked the new movie. They'll usually say something like: "well I totally enjoyed Happy Gilmore and some other movies, but this one wasn't so great." Its because they are struggling to reconcile the fact that such a funny comedian could be so unfunny. The movie's framing, despite the fact that Sandler made his image decades ago, is so strong that even now his shit attracts a ton of interest. The new stuff is terrible, but its like several funny movies made by a funny comedian! Wait, I'm laughing but I don't know why that was funny? Moral of the story: The laugh track isn't really dead, unlike all of the people who were recorded in it originally.

[@toasty862]

"Wait, I'm laughing but I don't know why that was funny?" this sounds best if you read it in a plinkett voice

[@shonnh1]

BAZINGA

[@koicies998]

in the near future computer algorithms will make movies based on viewer data

[@mckenzie.latham91]

+aikouka I think the point is that 1980's ghost-busters is framed as funny becasue of it's actors and writers...but is actually funny and well made... whereas ghostbusters 2016 is framed as funny...but isn't. Again paul vieg telling you the snl cast members are funny therefore the film is funny is not true in reality, Whereas Dan akroyed and bill Murray, Harold Ramis and etc. made an actually funny movie and actual payoff.

[@Llewellyn2844]

I'll say this for Paul Feig: He may be a minor-league director, but he's a major-league bull-shitter, even by Hollywood standards.

[@NPettinato14]

He should at least put an -e at the end of it. lol Better than "cowardly".

[@treycarter6736]

That cat in the bag scene was just painful. I’m glad I haven’t seen any more of this movie than what I’ve seen in this review.

[@movieguy992]

If there is a modern comedy troupe that I would love to murder it is what I like to call the "babble circle." You see this in so many comedies these days. You get a group of 3 or 4 characters and they all start babbling over top of each other while discussing something. Usually theres one character actually driving the conversations while the rest are mumbling things over top of him while hes talking and in there somewhere theres a joke I guess. You see this in a lot of Seth Rogen movies. Its similar to what Plinkett is saying about there constantly needing to be talking. Its almost as annoying as shaky cam in modern action movies.

[@nicholasvinen]

I hope it's the trope you want to murder and not the troupe.

[@andylai-fz6uc]

"his suicide note" lmfao!

[@darrenthetuber743]

andy lai wow he uses the Kurt Corbain suicide note as refrence

[@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked]

Holy shit that was funny.

[@ceciliamoy7413]

andy lai you do know imfao meand in my fucking annoying opinion so "His suicide note" in my fucking annoying opinion

[@OneandOnlyNewcomer3]

What sets the original Ghostbusters apart is that the less than one second clip of Bill Murray saying "Well there's something you don't see every day" made me pause the video so I could stop laughing. The context of that line combined with the flawless delivery gets me every time. There's nothing remotely like that in the new movie.

[@rjs6854]

One and Only Newcomer3 u good?

[@johnjackson9767]

Absolutely. The first had intelligent, dry humor. The slap-stick, ham-fisted bullshit of the new film is insulting.

[@OpenMawProductions]

LISTEN! ..... You smell that?

[@DavidVassleofYeshua]

This is why you shouldn't laugh at someone's failed jokes to make them feel better.

[@backstreetsbackalright4363]

Remember in the Attack of the Clones review when the hooker is watching it with Plinkett? Her reaction is "Oh my god, this is terrible. I've heard it was bad but I didn't think it'd be this bad." I find myself saying that every new snippet from the movie. I'm filled with horror and disgust.

[@WinterSteele]

This statement is so accurate, it should be pinned to the top of the comment section.
