Everything Wrong With Ghostbusters CinemaSins

Well, the trailer for the new Ghostbusters was released today. So, I figured I'd knock this one out. Hopefully, we can expect EWWs for the original 2 Ghostbusters movies leading up to the new one. Perhaps even an EWW the trailer?

1. (0:20) 20 Seconds for one logo.
2. (0:26) One Sin off for not writing New York City, New York, U.S.A. on the screen. Why? One, it doesn't matter that we're in New York right now and two, if the viewer cared enough, the building clearly has the name written on it.
3. (1:00) Did we really need to see the scene of the librarian picking up books off the table and pushing a cart? No, we did not.
4. (1:25) Is Dewey haunting this place and correcting the librarians? But, good job creating suspense without shoving it down your throat. (Sin off)
5. (2:12) Are these shelves meant to be arranged in such a way as to create a maze?
6. (2:21) And, with all the passageways through these shelves, she just happens to take the exact one to see the ghost.
7. (2:42) Again, great job with just letting the scene tell the viewer the information you need, rather than writing it on the screen. (Sin off)
8. (2:46) Someone clearly doesn't like Peter Venkman. Also, is this supposed to be blood, just paint? And, as we see, Peter clearly seems to be abusing his position in order to "date" young coeds. So, this is actually an ex-lover writing this?
9. (3:21) She guesses the exact shape that was on the previous card. Or, is this just a clever way to say she's the typical ditzy blonde. If so, kudos...but the other guy should clearly be able to see that this is rigged.
10. (4:54) Well, you're doing it completely the wrong way then. Unless this theory is all a sham to get women to sleep with you. In which case, I am OK with that, and I am not OK with that.
11. (5:01) How does his statement, in any way, validate your "theory?"
12. (5:17) Well, if you don't, I bet he CAN give it to you!
13. (5:25) Ray plays the pronoun game...but Peter is too smart for him and doesn't ask what "it" means. But, I bet Ray is going to tell us anyway.
14. (5:55) Called it!
15. (6:00) You just said there were 10 witnesses...but, it only scared the librarian?
16. (7:17) How does this remind you of that situation?
17. (8:14) Head librarian asks what the audience is thinking.
18. (8:20) Did you tag it? How are you able to tell if it's moving?
19. (9:45) Considering the manner Peter used to collect the sample, he still seems both surprised and disgusted that some ended up on his hand.
20. (11:16) How would a calculator have answered Peter's question?
21. (11:43) How do you know what the "usual" stuff is? You already established earlier that Peter has never gone on one of these outings before.
22. (12:31) Based on what we've seen of Peter's scientific method, he has no right to question Ray on his.
23. (13:42) What about that "Burn in Hell" painted on your door? Definitely not ALL the kids love you. And, Peter just called the women he's been "dating" kids.
24. (14:23) Venkman compares himself to Einstein.
25. (15:23) Yes kids, interest rates used to be a LOT higher than they are now.
26. (16:10) So....1980s New York.
27. (16:12) I don't get it...a pole is a pole...it will always function as a pole. Secondly, you asked if it works, don't wait for an answer, and immediately decide to test it for yourself.
28. (16:18) Just because it has a pole?
29. (17:11) Jaywalking.
30. (17:46) You have to go to rehearsal now? Then why were you carrying around the cello before?
31. (18:31) Even before Facebook, people overshared their lives.
32. (19:02) So, Louis mentioned she had cable. But, she has no cable box and still has the rabbit ears out. So, does she, or doesn't she have cable?
33. (19:41) Cool scene with the eggs, but if they are frying on the countertop...why aren't the marshmallows (or the plastic bag they're in) melting?
34. (28:47) So, when and where does Janine sleep? If it's there at the building also, why is she not having dinner with the others?
35. (29:03) YES! I'm finally going to get paid!
36. (30:48) Why would a cosmonaut be in New York City?
37. (32:08) Ghostbusters nearly kill a maid for comedic reasons.
38. (32:17) Movie inspires CinemaSins "What's the Damage?" series.
39. (32:52) Ray burns down the hotel by dropping his cigarette.
40. (33:12) Why does the food cart start moving as well?
41. (33:38) Peter stops and looks scared before the ghost even comes into view.
42. (33:44) If they had radios, why didn't Ray use one earlier rather than just try to whisper-yell down the hall?
43. (33:59) It won't do something and then it does cliche.
44. (34:45) A ballroom on the 12th floor? If not, how would they know it went to a different floor?
45. (36:56) The ghost just floats there waiting for them to clear enough space to trap it.
46. (37:01) I will now take time away from what I'm led to believe is a time critical matter to perform a magic trick!
47. (38:00) All I can say after this scene is do NOT let Peter and Egon handle guns.
48. (38:25) The trap wasn't smoking before...so, why is it now?
49. (39:00) Does that include the discount for the damage caused?
50. (39:45) Did you give him a discount to get those chickens?
51. (40:35) Yes...laugh it up that they are not doing anything to further the progress on your particular case.
52. (41:11) Ghost head...and, in a PG movie, too!
53. (42:46) After all the fame, and the fact that he's wearing his ghostbusting suit, how is he not swamped with people right now?
54. (43:13) As evidenced by all the people surrounding him asking for autographs, etc. Does he have a hidden entourage acting as security?
55. (43:20) Nasal guy was on the other side of the street and told to "wait here," but he moves over to the fountain anyway.
56. (45:36) Do you take the trap back out?
57. (45:49) Has she been working 24/7 this entire time?
58. (45:58) That's sexist!
59. (46:15) There's no apple, but they DID hire the one guy that plays all the 80s assholes. So, I'm guessing he's fulfilling the same role here.
60. (46:21) Did the nametag that says "Venkman" give it away? Or, was it the facial recognition from all the newspaper and magazine articles that gave it away? Because, surely, a representative of the Federal Government would've done minor research before showing up at their offices.
61. (46:27) Another fact that probably would've been mentioned in at least ONE of the articles written about them.
62. (46:36) Duh?
63. (46:43) You would think that the Ghostbusters would've proudly stated how many ghosts they've caught in various advertisements.
64. (47:15) Oh come on...even assholes get taught that by their mothers!
65. (47:26) I think the EPA would've sent letters or made phone calls requesting this information in a more formal fashion. Is this a rogue EPA agent?
66. (47:50) Simply getting a court order is not necessarily a prosecution. At this point in time, Peter is simply impeding a federal agent in their duties. There may or may not be an actual reason to prosecute them. Being that this is, apparently, a new industry with new science and technology, you'd think they'd welcome the chance to prove to the public that what they are doing is completely safe.
67. (48:25) What?
68. (49:19) Did that thing really just poke through stone with its eyeball?
69. (49:32) Venkman needs to study Louis for ESP because there's no way he heard Dana walking down the hall with a party going on in his apartment.
70. (51:56) Louis can hear soft footsteps, but can't hear this screaming.
71. (52:27) NEEEERRRRRRRRDDDDDD!
72. (54:13) But, it was in YOUR apartment...so, wouldn't you be taking the blame for the "pet" in the building?
73. (54:59) No one looking outside through the entirely glass wall sees anything. But, I guess that's just another day in New York City.
74. (55:19) Are they playing the phone game? First it was a dog, then it was a bear, now it's a cougar.
75. (55:55) When someone asks you if you're the Keymaster, you say YES!
76. (56:11) There you go!
77. (57:17) But, you have NO problem manipulating them into thinking they have ESP in order to get them into bed...
78. (1:01:51) I wanted to talk to you privately, but instead I will have this conversation within earshot of the person I'm talking about.
79. (1:02:34) Wait? You brought Thorazine WITH you...on a DATE? Did you get dating advice from Bill Cosby?! Too soon?
80. (1:04:30) We will now transition from the dark of night to early morning because reasons.
81. (1:05:32) In her mind, TV rules trump real life rules.
82. (1:06:29) At what point did he insult you? He just refused to let you see the storage facility.
83. (1:09:10) Ghost montage.
84. (1:11:26) Well, you have PhDs in Psychology and Para-Psychology, so I wouldn't really expect you know much beyond a very basic college level understanding of those subjects.
85. (1:16:56) Wait, weren't you referencing Revelations earlier? So, this would be New Testament stuff, wouldn't it?
86. (1:17:30) Politicians only do things because it'll get them re-elected cliche.
87. (1:19:42) We need to save the city, but let's take a timeout to shake the hands of the crowd.
88. (1:20:16) Where is Winston in this shot?
89. (1:20:26) Evil entity waited until the Ghostbusters were suited up and ready to enter the building before deciding to do anything about it. Guess it wanted to wait and see if the GBs were serious about trying to stop it.
90. (1:24:57) So, the two beasts, possessed two humans, to then transform back into beasts? What was the point of possessing a human?
91. (1:26:11) Yeah, that's right...I've waited all this time to get revenge on you for making me be the one to talk to the ghost in the library!
92. (1:26:25) Discount David Bowie.
93. (1:28:43) What?
94. (1:30:35) Ray plays the pronoun game again, but this time Peter falls for it.
95. (1:32:22) Are you hallucinating that, Mr 1980s Asshole?
96. (1:35:45) Did Bill Murray have it in his contract that he wanted as little fake marshmallow on him as possible?
97. (1:36:14) Awwww...how could you be mad at that face. He's a cutie-pie...yes he is.

Possible Outtakes

1. (17:41) When Louis is describing his workout, use the audio from "There's Something About Mary" where the hitchhiker is describing 7 minute abs.
2. (20:04) When Dana opens the refrigerator door, show the Alien.
3. (58:31) When Dana is on the bed, use some audio from the Exorcist. "The power of christ compels you!" or something.
4. (1:21:40) When the crowd is chanting Ghostbusters, change it to "Rudy"
5. (1:27:10) When Ghoser asks if they are a god, then says "Then die." Replace that with, "And now, young Skywalker, you will die."
