DorkmanScott posted:He's getting it from where I and Brian noted that it was only many years after first watching it that we realized it was a comedy. Zap, if you listen to the context of the conversation, the group of people that doesn't recognize it as a comedy right off the bat is generally referred to as "toddlers." And I don't mean intellectually, I mean literally three years old.

elemental_fantasy posted:The GB commentary was okay... but not as insightful as the actual GB commentary track.
elemental_fantasy posted:I would actually PAY for an episode 2 and 3 commentary from you guys. Any chance you'll make those commentary tracks?
Lrd_Radon posted:After listening to your commentary for Starship Troopers, I couldn't help wondering if any of you guys noticed the myriad similarities between this movie and the video game Starcraft. For one, Starcraft is largely about humanity's fight against a race of genetically mutated crab/bug like creatures called the Zerg. This fight takes place across many planets employing, among other things, marines in power suits. The Zerg, like the Bugs, have the power to take knowledge from the humans they capture. The Zerg also have an Overmind as their unifying, telepathic "leader". I just thought it was interesting that Starcraft seemed to take so much from the lore of this story. That is, unless many of the elements of this story are considered to be among the standard tropes of sci-fi.
Spiderfan posted:Trey's major beef with GB2 seems to be that it depended on the premise that no one believes in Ghosts anymore and how can that be after everything occurred in the first film. Well how can people still think that the moon landings or 9/11 were faked? Most of the incidents in the film were individual hauntings with a few eye witnesses (there are "eyewitnesses" to Big Foot, UFOs and Nessie). Much of the climax occured on a roof top out of sight, and from the ground looked like a lot of expensive loud pyrotechnics.

The Ghostbusters ran a successful, famous business for months, catching ghosts all around the city. Then, there was a HUGE supernatural occurrence in the middle of the city, and a GIANT MARSHMALLOW MAN walked through the streets. In the next movie, no one believes in ghosts. You don't see the problem here? You think that a tiny, insignificant number of crazies believing the lunar landings were faked is ANYWHERE similar to an entire world refusing to believe in something that was witnessed and caught on film and videotaped by hundreds of people?
