great ghostbusters movie

[Dontebell]

which ghostbusters movie is the greatiest?
i pick ghostbusters 2.

[GK Punk]

I pick one, to me it was one of the best comedies of its time

[Leo656]

I could never choose one over the other, I've seen them both so many times I could probably read the entire script aloud in my sleep.

[Nyx]

I had to vote none, myself. It's been far too long since I've seen any of them.

[Barkworm]

The first one: "Yeah, it's true, this man has no d***!"
I love that movie!

Don't complain if somebody edits your post

Anyway, yeah, the first one was the best. The second one was a bit too corny if you ask me. But number one fit the description of "black comedy" very well.

[Voltron]

Come on, should this even be a poll? Look, in some way, shape, or form, one of the two movies is better than the other. That eliminates the "none" and "both" as choices from the poll, seeing how the theory of chrono/cosmic superiority debunk such things as "equal" or "level" in reality.

Next we have to understand the relationship between good movies and bad movies. A good movie kicks ass, and a bad movie does not kick ass. To figure out how it kicks ass, we must first disect the very being of both Ghostbusters movies.

There are numerous factors that can make a movie kick ass, so this may take some time, or if I get bored of making stuff up, I'll stick in lines from some odd document that I have found elsewhere upon the vast expanse of the internet.

THE LAWS OF MAKING A KICK ASS MOVIE

1) Action to Bitch Ratio- If there is more talking than people dying in Kung Fu fights, the movie sucks and therefore does not kick ass

2) Dinosaur to Bitch- If people are bitching about the dinosaur (or other odd creature that might be terrorizing the countryside) more than the dinosaur is shown wrecking the **** out of cities and killing stuff, the movie loses major points.

3) Super Powers to Bitch ratio- If one or more characters in the movie have a special power(s) and more time is spent talking about them or mastering them than is spent using them to Kung Fu fight or battle dinosaurs, the movie is not good.

4) Cool Weapons to Bitch Ratio- If a character(s) has a really cool weapon and they spend more time bitching about how
a-he'll never learn to master it in time to defeat the antagonist
b-is to wounded/ill to use it to defeat the antagonist
c-cannot find it and it is (of course) the only way he will ever defeat the antagonist
or
d-lost the ability to use it and must go on a mystical quest to regain his ability to use it or die trying so he can finally defeat the antagonist AND over come his wounds.
The movie sucks, and therefore should be burned.

5) Giant Robot to Bitch Ratio- If a giant robot is involved in the plot somehow; and is rarely used OR defeated with ease by the enemy, and more time is spent talking about it than actually seeing it happen,the movie sucks

6) Magic to Bitch Ratio- (See Super Powers to Bitch Ratio)

7) Alteration of Weapon to Bitch Ratio- If a weapon is altered or new one invented that is better than the predecessor OR is equal in strength yet absoluetly necessary to the plot and more time is spent talking about how it is essential to the story rather than using it to kick ass OR it breaks down or malfunctions at the most critical moment, the movie sucks

Bitch to Bitch ratio- If more time is spent bitching about someone bitching about something cool, (ie Super Powers, Weapons, Dinosaurs) and equal or greater time is not spent looking for, using, or fighting these things in which a wise man/oracle/old person/giant floating Hitler head spoke of, the movie sucks

9) Kung Fu- If it so happens that a character in the movie knows Kung Fu, and uses it a majority of his/her time on screen, the movie will then have some kick ass elements and can be argued to have kicked a notable amout of ass.

10) Kung Fu to Bitch Ratio- If the character(s) who know Kung Fu do not use it as much as possible during the movie, the actors who portray the characters should die for making a movie with potential suck

11) Animation- If the film happens to be animated, then it is automatically tolerable and can shift up and down the scale as the LAWS OF ASS KICKING denote.

12) Screw Flanders

13) Space Ships- Any movie with space ships in it kicks ass with the exception of Armageddon and that stupid ass movie about the dinosaurs who talk when they eat cereal.

14) Light Sabers- Any movie that even mentions light sabers (or buzz saws) kicks ass. PERIOD

15) Titanic Principle- Any movie that is about people dying and is turned into a love story is horrible and should be burned.

16) Vehicles- Any character in the movie with a car that can do things other cars can't (in a way that, coincidentally kicks ass) makes that character kick ass and in turn adds ass kicking value to the movie. Double points if the name of the vehicle appears on the license plate.

17) Authority plays role of the Bitch- If the protagonist (on top of kicking ass) has the entire police force kissing his ass, the movie is great

1 Lasers are Kill Alls- Laser beams of any kind can and will be used to kill anything or do anything. Nothing comes close to the power of concentrated photons.

19) Unnecessary Violence- If violence is totally uncalled for and focussed at a universally hated group (ie the Irish or Girl Scouts) then the movie kicks ass.

20) Xerox's Full Line of Products


Our Products are categorized by their primary capability, e.g., printing, copying, faxing or scanning. Multifunction products do some combination of all of those functions.

To place an order or for more information, call 1-800-ASK-XEROX (Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET).


21) I forgot what I was talking about

But I think I made myself pretty clear, and at this point I would recap but I'm to lazy to remember or read what I wrote. It's probably offensive and or X rated....

Sonic the Hedgehog and Batman.....man that would be a team....

Did it myself before anyone else does it!

[Peanut]

I vote for one. Two was really good but I still think one was better. BTW Voltron that was a great post.

[That Matt Guy]

One is better, that marshmallow man was great. Two sucked, the villian in that one was like an evil painting or something.

[Karpo_007]

First, but the second one has it's moments.

[Barkworm]

Yeah, it's a pretty good sequel.

[Casey Jones]

i say the first one, one of my all time favorite movies. although the second gets many cool points for being a worthy sequel(a rare thing).

i'll ignore that jab at the Irish, but how do the LotR movies do on your little chart?

[impetus]

Both are great. Among my favorite movies.

[Voltron]

First, I'm hard core Irish. My veins are green and I sweat Tulley. So if I make any joke about the Irish, it's just because the Irish are so much better than everyone else. (Sorry to break it to the non-Irish, but it's true)

2-LotR would be under the magic spells and sweet weapons. Also, never forget that

SWORDS ARE ALWAYS STRONGER THAN ANYTHING- A sword can cleave through anything, and ALWAYS has magic powers.

Good Wizards are undefeatable- Good Wizards are always stronger than bad ones.

NINJA ELVES- Lord of the Rings had some sort of Ninja Elf kind of thing going on. I noticed neither Legolas OR Gimli took **** from no one. Especially in the book.

After myself, you sir are the smartest person here. Tis true, God blessed Ireland with His own hand, and the Almighty drinks naught but Guinness and other fine Irish ale.

Okay I'm not trying to offend any trekkies here i've, already done that like a million times so instead of saying star trek sucks in general, i'll just say that Star Trek the Motion Picture was one of the worst movies i've ever seen.

aka the Pearl Harbor Principle

[That Matt Guy]

That is ridiculous. Titanic is a good movie, I mean it's great to watch that ship sink and to see Leonardo DiCaprio freeze to death. And also seeing Kate Winslet nude was great.

And I guess you're forgeting that Ghostbusters had somewhat of a love story in it too.

[Duke]

BTW i voted for the first one

[Mars-Chan]

Same here. One is the better one I've seen.
