I thought I chronicled every little thing for this movie, and I did, but not all of it was at this blog.
Turns out, I'd scattered a bunch of pieces across WF and Facebook.
So, I want all that stuff under one roof.
And I need something for the 5th anniversary next year.
Here we go....
There, I'll slap the poster there just for the Facebook graphic, and now...
Let's go in production chronology.
Let's start with set pics.
I had a shitload of these, but I deleted them, cuz the movie has all the scenes from those pics, and going to the web source I got them from...they're gone.
BUT, a message board buddy took some, and that makes those special, so I'll use those!
Sweet, he got the Chinese restaurant, the girls, and the car.
Good job, buddy.
Okay, now official non-paparazzi stuff.
Official reveal of the suits.
Official reveal of the proton pack.
Official reveal of nu-Ecto.
And finally, official reveal of the girls in full character next to ecto.
(From here)
And, this one came out much later, but it's clearly the same photo shoot, but with Paul Feig.
Both this, and the pic above it are in the blu-ray bonuses.
And this is from the subway scene, and might be my favorite.
I won't lie, I had this as my desktop wallpaper the day I went to see the flick.
I gotta put it back in rotation, I miss it.
And, from the car photo shoot, the girls again, and the first pic of Chris Hemsworth as Kevin from a scene in the movie.
(Also from here)
Okay, now posters.
The individual character reveal ones that I lumped into a mosaic.
The first full poster I dropped here.
The more dynamic foreign poster that might just be my favorite.
Dropped that one here.
Second US poster, and I the one I have printed and up on my wall next to the posters for the first two GB movies.
Not as good as the foreign poster, but it fits the style of the first two movies.
The first one with the "Answer The Call", title on it.
Dropped that one here.
I also slapped them into a little montage that kind of shows a story progression.
My favorite of the alternate designs that I dropped for my review of my third theatrical viewing.
Now, ones that aren't previously on the blog...
The blu-ray art is a hybrid of this one, and the one above.
Mostly.
Kevin doing finger guns (on the blu-ray) is from the first one, and the first foreign one.
Another foreign one.
I really like how this looks as a piece of art, but this never happens in the movie.
They never fight a ghost up on the roof of a building.
They're trapped down on Time's Square for the whole final fight.
And there's a vortex made of green shit, but it never forms into an entity.
Well, directly, anyway.
I think this is...Russian?
The only one with an image of Slimer driving the car.
This does happen in the flick.
I'm pretty decently sure this is Japanese, which means the first foreign one has to be Korean, cuz China didn't release this flick cuz of their Commie atheism.
Hey, I'm atheist and socialist, and I love Ghostbusters.
You Chinese have to lighten the fuck up.
Pull the little Chairman Mao out of your butts.
Anyway, this design is....just okay.
Okay, now banners...
Holtzie...
Abby....
Erin...
...and Patty.
These were also billboards.
The billboard versions had protruding gun barrels.
Now, magazine covers...
Empire.
I love how absolutely catshit insane McKinnon/Holtzmann looks in that one.
Y'know, I wish THESE poses were used on the blu-ray.
Pretty sure this is the pic they used on the score soundtrack.
One of them, anyway.
Both soundtracks had variant covers.
Another Empire variation.
Entertainment Weekly.
Now, this reminds me, I've noticed with the impending release of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", the critics have taken to either sweeping this flick (ATC) under the rug, or rewriting history, and acting like "oh, I NEVER liked it!!".
Muthafuckas, you were all in!!
You loved it as much as I did, and still do.
You let the internet browbeat you.
Wimps.
I love the "LGBT pop culture guide", up in the corner, and it's right above McKinnon/Holtzmann.
Say, are you a pint-sized butch?
Then Holtzmann is gonna be your convention costume.
That's just gonna happen.
That's the pop culture guide.
Cliff's Notes version.
You are welcome.
Elle covers...
McKinnon....
McCarthy...
Wiig....
.....and Jones.
And, internal Elle photos...
Jones....
Wiig....
McCarthy....
....and McKinnon.
I gotta say, the marketing for this flick was full court press.
It fucking rivals "The Force Awakens".
They went all out.
Now they wanna pretend this didn't happen?
Nope, bullshit, I've got all the receipts right here.
This movie mattered.
Goddammit.
Next, wax museum....
Okay, I mentioned this Madame Tussauds thing here, but it hadn't come out by the time I posted that.
Then, I collected an exhaustive shitload of images, then they sat on my hard-drive doing nothing, so I deleted them, now I regret it, cuz this is all I can find now on Google....
Like I said, I had way more pics.
I had the girls from every angle, and every close-up, so you could see every little tiny detail.
I had all the little props on the shelves, I had everything.
But, fresh after the flick coming out, I was burnt out from battling the fucking misogynist trolls, and I wanted to move on, and I kept pushing it to "later", and then "later", became never, and I threw it all out.
Now...locked up cuz of the plague, now's the time.
And now I lost all that shit.
Ah, well.
Lesson learned, tune the trolls out next time.
And don't engage their shit.
Shut it down.
Shut it off.
I did it more for "Last Jedi", and "Rise Of Skywalker".
I gotta do even better.
Oh, yeah, and the Tussauds thing had a VR game/tour thingy.
The prototypes for those vests, and helmets, and guns can be seen in canon in "Ghostbusters 101".
Gawd, I love the Easter eggs they put in that series.
Now, merchandise.
I did a pretty good job already here.
But, I didn't follow it all the way to home video release.
Here's the steelbook editions of all three movies.
Well, more exactly, their artwork without the hinges of the tin fucking it up.
Gorgeous!
And finally, the pic that makes all the bitching and crying from the possessive spoiled man-babies truly meaningless.
That's what the movie was for.
Mission accomplished.
Nothing else matters.
Also, here's an essay from Violet Ramis about what her dad Harold would have thought.
So, that's all the pics, an article, and now, video clips.
Vignettes.
Talk shows.
Ellen.
Jimmy Kimmel (pre-show)
Jimmy Kimmel (regular show)
Today Show
Ahhh!
There!
Done!
That was exhausting!
No wonder I waited 4 years!!
But, that's all of it now.
I can just paste this into year 5 next July, and I'm good to go.
