Ghostbusters 3 Updates | "Yes, it's true-this man has no dick"

"Yes, it's true–this man has no dick"

By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (14)

Sigh. Ghostbusters 3 is turning into one of those news sucks where we get random rumors from random sources, that never seem to add up to all that much that’s coherent. We’ve got Bill Murray claiming the film’s not happening, and that he’s refusing to be in it even if it is made unless they kill his character off. There are rumors of the writers doing exactly that, and making Peter Venkman be a ghost for most of the film. There will be four new Ghostbusters, a next generation if you will! Speculation has swirled at one point or another about just about every person in Hollywood under 30 being on the new team. Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement! Sigourney Weaver is in! The main thing everyone is sure of is that Ivan Reitman is in and that Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg are writing the script.

Well, there’s some new news that will take your mood from Slimer to Shia faster than a Crystal Skull enema. Bloody Disgusting is reporting that they have a secret inside source telling them that not only will there be a new foursome but that Dana’s son Oscar will be one of them. Not only that, but it finally will be revealed that he’s Venkman’s son. It’s funny, I always assumed that was the case, but it’s not technically canon.

That doesn’t sound like the worst possible hook for the new film, except that it was also the hook for Indiana Jones and the Increase in My Drinking Habit. I don’t know about you, but I think in the right light Shia LeBeouf looks like a younger Bill Murray, don’t you?

I should kill you and build a cage with your bones for that statement... and if such a thing should actually come to pass, I will.

If Shia LeBlegch so much as sniffs at a script of GB3 (or any remake of my fave childhood film/book/TV series/comic) I will kidnap him and lock him up in my cellar.
And coming from an Austrian, that's no idle threat.

Speaking of Indiana Jones and The Movie that Shall not be Named, have we officially replaced the phrase "jumping the shark" with "hiding in the fridge" yet?

I thought it was "nuking the fridge," Lennon.

Wait, Oscar is Venkman's son? How does that work? It's been a little while since I saw GB2, but didn't he and Dana split up well before Oscar was conceived? Oscar's father was that dude who was sniffing the Afrin in the first film, right?

In any case, I'm in to join the growing posse of people who are willing to kidnap Shia TheBeef to keep him the hell away from this movie.

Oscar wasn't Venkman's kid. If he was that makes Venkman a total shit because he had nothing to do with Dana or him until the supernatural weirdness started. Nor did he act like a father to the kid or make any mention of it at all. Neither did Dana. Or any other character. And I'm pretty sure Venkman made a crack about the kid's father at one point and I think it was supposed to be the dude from the symphony that she was talking to in the first movie. So this is some serious character assassination via retconning.

Also, Ghostbusters 2 was horrible so making me recall details of that fiasco is really pissing me off. Now my brain is demanding alcohol to wipe away the pain but I'm at work and cannot imbibe. Oh, the humanity.

Hiding, nuking, doesn't matter. The important thing to remember is that there is a fridge of yummy foodstuffs that is being violated. I label my milk for a reason!

TylerDFC is right, nothing in Murry's demeanor toward Oscar indicates that he was the father, other than the bizarre choice to make an improvised diaper out of priceless sports memorabilia in an apartment presumably full of suitable alternatives (in many subtle levels between clean and dirty).

Come on, Part 2 wasn't so bad! But if they start retcon-ing stupid bullshit like this part 3 is going to be even more of an abomination then I thought. You don't have to work in call-backs to every single joke and memorable plot development in the original. That's the [name redactetd- movie movie guys] school of screenplay writing.

Why not a fuckin' prequel-- Ghostbuser-ers: when Venkman met Stantz

Agreed, a prequel would be amazing.

"Indiana Jones and the Increase in My Drinking Habit"

Harrison Ford was in Tideland? Must have missed that part when I was refilling my flask.

I always thought the kid might be a product of the Keymaster and Gatekeeper doin' the do. Sure it's been five years and the kid should be four and a bit, but that demon seed might have been dormant, waiting for New York to fill up with enough pink shit before finally progressing to term.

As for Indiana Jones Junior - and the Crystal Skull Fuck of my Childhood I wonder if "The Beef" has ever been in any movie that has had a decent writer and director. I mean, Cate Blanchett was in that pile of shit too and she sucked because the material sucked and the direction sucked. John Turturro was in Transformers and what could he do? Maybe young Beefy just has the world's worst agent or can't pick his projects.

I mean, sure he's been shit in everything I've seen him in, but then, everything I've seen him in has been shit.
