I think the Blues Brothers movie legitimately revived the careers of a lot of the artists in it, on top of just being a great movie. Shame about the director though.
Not a fan of when they take a franchise and make the leads kids.
I mean, it leaves plenty of room for a Ghostbusters cinematic universe - those kids won't die for DECADES, imagine how many sequels, prequels, and spin-offs they can pump out!
lol as if death would stop them.
did they not just announce the casting of james fucking dean in a movie last month.

Man. Man!
There's absolutely gonna be a Harold Raimis ghost isn't there
and then on top of all the great performances blues brothers also has the car chase
"The use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues brothers has been approved."

Re: new ghostbusters trailer-
I was prepared to not like it, but actually, the premise is actually pretty good? It looks like it taps the nostalgia in a tonally appropriate way without letting it dominate the tone or themes of the sequel?
Paul Rudd is always a tick, and putting kids front and center in a goofy playful action comedy that looks like it pitches for the under-15 audience is a pretty good repositioning of the francise?
Girl Ghostbusters got trashed for all the wrong reasons and few of the right ones, but I do actually think this new one has merit. Not where I was expecting it to land, but I'm willing to be surprised.
The din from the 'we told you so crowd' is going to be fuck-off annoying, though.

Finn Wolfhard has the most distracting hairstyle. That is too much hair, child, begone with it.

I mean I hope you're right
I just... I dunno, it feels like that would be a thing that's at least suggested
Also I'm sure they're gonna find a way to dick over Ernie Hudson again

despite all these much more important reasons to hold it up as a good movie, I must say with some chagrin that my favorite scene is still the shot where the car falls to bits

I will say, I'm much more on-board with a "kids find the equipment of a previous generation" version of Ghostbusters than "a bunch of adult male comedians again."
It didn't need to be adult comedians of any shape or form. There aren't modern comedians in the same vein as guys doing coke 24/7 in the 80s working without a safety net of CGI. It needed to be the original guys, old as fuck, really struggling, who bring in talented nobodies who don't have some kind of identity branded to them. Then do Ghostbusters the Video Game The Movie.
Given the focus on the kids, I'm wondering if the plot won't be "Kids stumble onto ghostbusting, get in way over their heads, forcing the original Ghostbusters to come out of retirement to save them."
I wanted no Ares at all in Wonder Woman. Where war happens and it is shitty as hell and it's the fault of humans being shitty nothing supernatural at all. No excuses of a higher power meddling to make things worse, no we did this to ourselves all on our own.

Didn’t they do that anyway? Like yeah Ares was there but didn’t he go all “all I ever asked of him was when the bars would close”? By that I mean I think he isn’t actually the cause of war?

Home theatre stores here used to use the ball-bearing bomb scene from Swordfish to show off the positional audio capabilities of surround sound setups, but I have to assume there is a newer better movie that has done a superior job.

I mentioned this when Aretha Franklin passed away, but her version of Think from that movie is my all-time favourite song.
This and Cab Calloway's Minnie The Moocher are both honestly all time great recorded performances

What's a good movie/scene in a movie to test out a 3.1 soundbar with two satellite speakers I may or may not be using

isn’t Master and Commander usually the go-to home theater test

Kind of a reverse passing the torch.

Seconding Pacific Rim, but would also be remiss if I didn't float Mad Max: Fury Road.
Nasty!! Not Cool!
pan's labyrinth is my go to, because there are a few scenes where sound travels from speaker to speaker
Its filthy with awesome sound.

I'm sure there are very good reasons why you think the movie is set in Oklahoma, possibly even "official sources" to that effect
but this mountain of Canada's own Timbits (tm) says otherwise

they're jelly donut holes
they are unmistakably Tim Hortons' Timbit (tm) brand donut holes, don't make me summon the Canada thread in here to back me up on this.
(also the movie was filmed in Alberta, but I knew that before googling it because of the food)
