what's with Hollywood producers fascination with making everything that shouldn't be dark and depressing?

the suits are objectively better looking
also the peace sign logo is iconic
fuck you mike

What the fuck is dark or depressing about Ghostbusters II
>>
>>200758963
It was dumb how they had broken up between 1 and 2. It was also stupid to give Sigourney Weaver that hideous infant.

It was especially dark and depressing for studio execs that year.

Unironically what is the point of the black guy. He does nothing

>>200763672
He's the average joe out of the group of weirdo nerds

>>200764519
They retconned that. He was once a nuclear physicist before becoming unemployed and joining the Busters.

He was never the 'average joe'. In the original script they go through his resume and it's crazy impressive

I dont know. I dont watch anything post 2008. And things are very optimistic and good for the soul to watch. An anon recommend it to me and I do not regret it

this is a good movie btw

Winston doesn't do nothing. Their business was exploding, they were desparate for help, they hired him on the spot and he turned out to be a good hire. He is usually depicted as the driver, and they gave him a basic training and he pulls his weight with the practical stuff. He just didn't invent/finance the tech. He's an employee, not an owner, and that's fine.

Winston is portrayed throughout the first two movies as a decent, sensible guy who also knows to look out for himself. When things are looking bad in the first movie, he says "you guys do your own thing but I'm gonna get my own lawyer on this one". He's politely letting them know that he's not going to throw in with whatever legal defense they may use for themselves, and he'll get his own. He also has good insight during the drive with Ray (a very important scene) why they're so busy. "Loving Jesus' style" isn't a bad thing to believe in when you're dealing with ghosts and the undead on a daily basis. This scene also develops the friendship between Ray and Winston specifically, which is shown again in a (much worse) early scene in the second movie. Winston also saves Ray and Egon's lives in the middle of the second movie, when the pictures catch on fire.

IIRC they were considering Eddie Murphy for the role but they didn't want him competing with the others, they wanted an understated performance for the token black guy so as not to outshine the others. Ernie Hudson did a great job playing a down-to-earth, normal, non-annoying black guy.

It's the definition of mediocre. Not terrible, not good.

It was nice to see that circle close.

Fuck you, you parrotting fucking RT faggot. It was good.

Thing is he was down to earth despite his skills. You can be smart and talented and also be a normie.

>>200767139
No actually you're right. It was total shit.

>>200767410
>"It was good."
>"I agree. It was bad."
You are literally too stupid to read words on a screen.
>>
>>200767481
I agree with you the movie was trash

The average Ghostbusters 2 hater, everybody.

They make more money if a movie flops via Hollywood accounting.

>movie about dealing with ghosts and the afterlife and ancient eldrich gods
>not expecting it to be somewhat dark and depressing, even as a comedy
I don't get how Ghostbusters II was any more dark and depressing than the first one. It was always a mix of comedy and horror. Even the kids cartoon had a surprising amount of horror in them. I was pleasantly surprised watching them again as an adult.
>>
>>200758963
I dunno but once you hit 30 you begin to question the motivations of directors older than you who wallow in depicting America as a washed out hell on earth not worth saving. It takes so much work and energy to make a film and yet so many films want to assault or dull you.
>>
>>200771713
Ghostbusters had a funny joke that made you laugh about once every 3 minutes
Ghostbusters II had 0 jokes

I didn't think that. I liked it because then I could imagine Sighorney's pussy better and bigger. Spread em hotty.

felt bad for him in hand that rocks the cradle. arguably the most racist depiction of a mentally challenged nigger in the 20th century.

John Belushi was supposed to be a GB but he was murdered. Slimer is a tribute to Belushi.

>>200767083
Would you watch a deaged Ghostbusters 3 using that original script? I would.
>>
>>200772478
Wasn't he supposed to be Venkman?
>>
>>200768164
>>200768389
that's global box office. barely made $100m domestically if that.

Venkman's Jewish

Whoa a character written by a Jew is Jewish? Wow I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time.

Hi Maddox.
>>
>>200758963
Anon, that's not a complete, grammatical sentence. You've left something out, it doesn't make any sense.
>>
>>200772591
>>200772889
>>200772679
Well Belushi couldn't play Venkman because Belushi isn't Jewish was the point, pinhead.
>>
>>200772990
Neither is Bill Murray, retard.
