He was CGI and stand ins, yes, but it was archival footage and a lot of care put in there to make him look just RIGHT. and not having him speak made it way more than what it could have been: a cheesy add in. It would have been schmaltzy to have him talk to them. Instead, he did his knowing smile and nod.. and my eyes were tearing.The Chickapediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038776312555027551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-25665895404393383182021-12-19T01:11:56.701-05:002021-12-19T01:11:56.701-05:00Also, Phoebe's jokes are GOLDEN.

I wanted to know who played him and how much of it was CGI. According to google (we saw it at a drive in, so I think I googled during the scene-that’s how much I got pulled out) they used archival footage and stand ins.

That's what made it so incredibly hard for him when Egon turned his back on the entire team, the FAMILY. I don't think anything else would've made him do it.<br /><br />Phoebe as Egon's spiritual heir was just the best part of the movie. The glasses matching, "I'm a scientist!", and her pulling a proton pack on the cops to defend him as not just a crazy dirt farmer! <3 It was so, so, so good.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-68928817342207163122021-12-01T09:49:31.115-05:002021-12-01T09:49:31.115-05:00When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES...When someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-30873667304776495622021-11-30T17:26:57.517-05:002021-11-30T17:26:57.517-05:00I had no idea how emotionally connected I was to t...I had no idea how emotionally connected I was to these movies till Phoebe said, "I'm a scientist" and I kind of gasp teared up.

(This has led my husband to suggest that a possessed or supernaturally indebted Oliver should be the Big Bad of the next film)<br />.<br />We really loved the movie - my husband and our college roommates really are the Ghostbusters, their personalities map so well onto the characters! (As I married "Egon" I think that makes me Janine!)<br />The only disappointment we had was that there is SO MUCH backstory missing! Who is Callie's mother? (The trailer implied that Janine was Egon's widow, but that seems to have been a deliberate misdirection). Is Callie's mom still alive? Are they estranged?<br />Does the family really use the Spengler family name? If so, why has no one ever mentioned Egon and the Ghostbusters to Phoebe?<br />I look forward to the next generation going forward - I'd love to see Phoebe and company being mentored by Ray (and funded by Winston)!CaptainVideo42https://www.blogger.com/profile/06197533975292062491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-10171086531293296912021-11-30T14:27:35.843-05:002021-11-30T14:27:35.843-05:00The OG Ghostbusters was the only movie we had for ...The OG Ghostbusters was the only movie we had for a while when we first got a VCR in my family. My sister and I watched it a LOT and I can pretty much recite the entire thing still. So I enjoyed the hell out of this new movie. Even having seen all the mini puft scenes in the trailers, I still laughed out loud at those parts. I caught a bunch of these Easter eggs, but I clearly missed a couple so thank you for this post. salamanda76https://www.blogger.com/profile/10567009574833261915noreply@blogger.com
