    That reminds me, any word on how the sample from the River of Slime summoned forth the Scoleri Brothers?

    Was it just lucky chance that their psychokinetic energy was somehow inhabiting that specific jar of slime, or did it act as some sort of gateway to allow them to travel here since they knew the judge? Or were they disembodied to the point that they couldn't interact with anything and were already (invisibly and ineffectively) haunting the judge and the slime merely powered them up enough to manifest?

    Presumably this is nowhere near where they died since I don't think electric chairs would have been at the courthouse.

    how do you make a marksmen version of a weapon that is about as accurate as a fire extinguisher?

    Don't get me wrong, that looks cool as shit i'm just curious about the mechanics of the idea.

    What I am most jealous about is how much god damn room there is inside that proton pack! Jesus I could live in that thing! And here I was trying to cram everything into the shell of a standard proton pack.

    I've been giving more and more consideration to starting a Seattle GB franchise, but not sure about start up costs.

    Not counting fissionable materials, the original base for the pack (pre-made with two previous owners) was $500 including shipping from Michigan or Ohio or somewhere up there to Georgia. James and Charles charged me about $330 for parts and labor to get it from this:
    HJb3e8Vl.jpg
    to what you see above.

    As far as starting-up a franchise, see if your local municipality will foot the franchise licensing fees.

    The nearby Ghostbusters of British Columbia may be willing to lend you a hand getting started.

    I'm actually pretty shocked there isn't a Seattle franchise already but somehow there's one in Victoria, BC and Spokane.

    oh, DMR usually means designated marksman rifle, hence the confusion.

    As fan-worky as that explanation seems to be, I could totally buy that it's actually from Akroyd's script notes somewhere.

    Considering that Dan had a name and expected use of every device on/in Ecto-1, I'd love to see that stuff.

    I remember how he was about to start naming everything on the roof rack during the restoration special and what it did/was suppose to do but either they cut it or he stopped himself.

    random thought as i consider the idea of breaking out each of the Ghostbusters video game attachments into their own device, what would new slime blower look like if they have self replicating slime?

  • Options
    NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    Pretty sure the slime already self-replicates, just Dr.s Spangler and Stanz cultured a strain that grew faster, hence the need for a smaller storage tank attached to the pack and not a dedicated unit.

    In my personal head-canon the slime blower mk2 operates exactly as the game portrays it, being bolted into the neutrona wand like an under-slung grenade launcher. The mk1 is still in use and is more powerful than its smaller cousin due to the increased volume and larger gun but is now issued with a more emotionally stable, positively-charged, green slime.

    Surplus mk1 blowers are issued to smaller franchises who can't afford the newer, miniaturized models. They are also used when a large-scale cleanup of negatively-charged slime is needed or when a particular buster is on disciplinary probation from using a positron collider (this happened recently with one of my trainees).

    So this whole Ghost Corp thing has been strange from day one and it just got stranger. MTV of all people interviewed Drew Pearce and got a potential bombshell.
    That Other ‘Ghostbusters’ Is Totes Happening, And Guess Who They’re Gonna Call
    Why'd you lie to us, Chris Pratt?

    by kat rosenfield 5h ago
    With additional reporting by Josh Horowitz

    Although certain people (ahem, Chris Pratt) have issued stern and vulgar denials that a second, dudely “Ghostbusters” reboot was happening, that hasn’t stopped loud whispers coming from Hollywood about a project just like that in the works.

    And every time the subject comes up, so does the name of Drew Pearce, the “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” writer who’s also scripting the other upcoming movie about ghosts, and the people who bust them.

    Fortunately, MTV News was able to catch up with Pearce at the New York premiere of the new “Mission Impossible,” and pump him for info on the project. And even more fortunately, Pearce aint afraid of no “Ghostbusters” questions (although he reserved the right to be cagey about answering them.) So, is this really happening?

    Says Pearce: OH YEAH.

    “I’ve finished my work on that in the last couple weeks,” he said. “Obviously it’s top secret, but there’s a gigantic bold idea that I came up with, and the Russo brothers — who did ’Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ and are doing ’Civil War’ at the moment — and Ivan Reitman, who did the original movie, are going to take that and run with it. Obviously I cannot tell you what it is, but hopefully in one year’s time you’ll know!”

    Even better, he wasn’t even a tiny bit coy about the dream cast for the film. Who ya gonna call? Might it, in fact, be Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum as rumored?

    “That’s definitely the cast we’ve been thinking about as we approach the project,” Pearce confirmed, but added, “Whether that happens or not is very much above my pay grade. It’s just my job to give them something exciting that maybe they’ll do.”

    And while Pearce made all the same caveats about not having final say in this part, either, he addressed the very important question of whether a new “Ghostbusters” would give proper recognition to both the original source material as well as the all-female reboot of the movie that’s being filmed as we speak. The writer revealed that “there’s been a lot of chat” amongst producers about how and how much of a franchise this will be — and yep, he’s totally pulling for a single universe.

    “My personal inclination is to try and make everything occur in the same ’Ghostbusters’ universe, because I feel, as a fan, that’s what I would want,” he said. “Standing here in New York, you just wanna tie it all together. Whether that happens or not we’ll see, but I’ve certainly given them the tools to do that, I hope.”

    So it sounds like they want to bring the new Ghostbusters into the same timeline as the originals. I hope it's a better plan than it sounds because retconning a movie while it's not even finishing filming yet seems like a poor plan.

    You and me should talk Chromdom. The fact that there's no Ghostbusters franchise in our beloved city means spooks and specters have been running roughshod over us for years. Pike Place Market alone would make us enough in consulting fees to retire on.

    As much as I would love to see another original-universe GB movie, and as much as I would love for it to be a Tatum/Pratt flick, I really don't want them to do this thing immediately following/right alongside the female-driven movie. That seems in really poor taste.

    I, for one, have always preferred the original no-ghost logo. Heck, I don't even like the peace-sign two fingers second movie logo.

    For a logo, could always put in a compass rose behind it, referencing the Mariners.

    I mean, they're a dead team anyway...

    @TankHammer How much is that running you, if you don't mind me asking?
    I've been giving more and more consideration to starting a Seattle GB franchise, but not sure about start up costs.

    You and me should talk Chromdom. The fact that there's no Ghostbusters franchise in our beloved city means spooks and specters have been running roughshod over us for years. Pike Place Market alone would make us enough in consulting fees to retire on.

    If you guys get this thing off the ground I would be happy to donate a patch design for you. Just decide what cliché Seattle thing to incorporate.

    I'm thinking either "ghost behind the space needle" or "green and white no-ghost drawn like the Starbucks mermaid holding a takeout coffee cup"

    I, for one, have always preferred the original no-ghost logo. Heck, I don't even like the peace-sign two fingers second movie logo.
    Grumpgrumgrump.

    You misunderstand. Your right shoulder has the traditional no-ghost patch, the left shoulder carries your franchise patch.

    I like that idea. Reminds me somewhat of the scouts. General icon in one location, unit/troop icon in another.

    Man, I love Ghostbusters, have done my whole life. The idea of the reboot and everything we've seen so far has me shaking with excitement...

    Having said that, I'm really, really not into the idea of them turning it into a big franchise with a new movie every few years. I'm worried that might suck the magic out of it.

    Am I the only one?
