4 Character Featurettes + 1 upon ECTO1 - Here come the GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

Hey folks, Harry here...  The more I see from GHOSTBUSTERS, the more I see a completely different tale.  Here you'll find a playlist video that contains Character Vignettes based upon the 4 lovely ladies Abby (Melissa McCarthy), Erin (Kristen Wiig), Patty (Leslie Jones) and Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon).   There's also a featurette upon their new ECTO 1.   I've been waiting to see more of Kate McKinnon personally, I love her Hillary on SNL - and from her hairstyle in all the trailers - I've had her pegged as the new EGON.   But watching the featurettes - I got to see a bit more of each of the gals' roles and I have to say, it's looking fun.  Melissa McCarthy is the true believer, Kristen Wiig is the skeptic turned believer and Leslie Jones is a New York History buff that also comes up with the uniforms and that sweet Cadillac Hearse we see transformed into their ECTO 1 ride!

 





We'll see how it turns out soon enough.  For me, just seeing the GHOSTBUSTERS done with female comedians gives it a completely different flavor.  Then, there's a new synth version of the Ghostbusters creepy music at the end of each of the featurettes that gives me a case of the giggles.   Personally, I embrace change, because I know it doesn't change anything about what came before.  No matter what I'll always be able to quote along as I watch the original - I'll always have the slightly disappointing, but still beloved sequel - and I'll always have those blessed cartoons.  BTW - Yoko thinks that EGON's cartoon hairstyle is exactly that of Hercules The Strong's real hair!   

Now keep it cool,

 

Harry
