Apparently New Ghostbusters is getting an extended edition for its home release. I found out because people on social media are whining that it’s getting a home release at all, claiming that the film is horrible and shouldn’t exist.

I haven’t seen the film myself, and likely won’t, but the continuing rage against it baffles me.

EDIT: Well I’ll probably watch it eventually if I catch it on TV or something, but I’m not interested enough to buy it or anything.

I saw it twice and enjoyed it very much. I will be buying it, especially since there’s an extended edition. I just hope that it adds plot elements back in, and not just extended improv jokes. There are bonus features specifically described as being those, so that’s promising.

Went to the store the other day, figured I’d pick up some Ecto Cooler if I could find it, just to give it a shot since I never did back in the day.

There wasn’t any, so I got a Crystal Pepsi instead. Actually pretty good stuff. A bit of a weird disconnect to drink a clear liquid and get a cola taste, but I liked it.

Ordered my Ecto Cooler from Amazon a few weeks ago after not finding them anywhere in stores, managed to find a Crystal Pepsi in the wild this week.

Did the blu-ray actually try to fix the colors from 2004? Besides the minor lightsaber fixes, did they try to make Hoth less blue or colors not quite as oversaturated?

Yes. Only the Hoth blue, though.

I wasn’t aware that they’d changed that between 04 and 11. But yeah, the films in general have the exact same color timing as in 2004.

I haven’t actually bothered to check, this is just what I’ve heard.

They didn’t change any colors in Hoth.

I have mine in a box far from my regular movies. It’s not hard. And hyperbole isn’t going to get around the rules about owning the media people are making fan edits/restorations with.

I don’t have the other restorations. I have the GOUT. I saw Harmy’s demo reel/mini documentary on youtube.

As long as you’re satisfied then.
