.The Glorious Ladies of Ghost Busting trailer is here, you guys!
Ahh! I'm so excited I could puke slime onto Kristen Wiig's face!
Aww somebody beat me to it. Anyway this scene seems to me is giving the whoopee-cushion to the scene in the original film where they
meet their first ghost in the library and it scares the shit out of them, which leads me to wonder if they'll riff on other scenes in a similar fashion? What I am asking is...
... are we gonna see a sexy ghost
go downtown on Melissa McCarthy or what?
Here's the trailer:

And since I have other things to say about this trailer,
here is a list of The Five Most Important Shots in it!
1. SLIMER, FUCK YEAH!
2. Speaking of the ghosts though, I like the candy-colored neon look we've got going on with them, especially all of the shots in Times Square. (I just realized there has got to be a
Times Scare joke in this movie, doesn't there?) (Sidenote: didn't they film this movie in Boston? I thought it was gonna be set in Boston? It is definitely obviously not, but for some reason I thought that.)
Continuing #2 though, these shots remind me of my FAVORITE episode of
the animated Ghostbusters series, one I always thought they should make a movie from -- the villain was The Sandman, and he was making everybody's dreams and nightmares take corporeal form, and it RULED. These shots of a massive collection of bizarre ghosts could be straight out of that episode.
3. Is Kate McKinnon's character a lesbian? It sures seems that way. And what if Kristen Wiig's character is too? What if we have a romance between them centered in a mainstream action comedy? Ahhh! Blowing my mind, these thoughts.
4. Phew, we were getting too worked up over lady action there for a minute, here's some crisp clean Chirs Hemsworth action to satisfy our manly man needs. Refreshing!

5. This trailer made me laugh several times (which is a very good sign, for a comedy!) but this bit with the wig / hat thing made me laugh the hardest. I am so excited to see Wiig & McKinnon play with each other.... maybe even in a lesbian way!
So what do you guys think?
Ghostbusters is out on July 15th, aka my birthday!
