Looks like Adam Savage is going to have a cameo in the “Savage Science” video. Awesome
See I hate to rag on Sony( that’s a lie. I don’t hate it) but most other studios would probably have made some of these as actual legit YouTube videos as a marketing thing for fans. Like the Shandor conspiracy theory video. How hard would it be to make that? And how cool would it be as fans to discover? They know we go thru these things frame by frame.
These are the things that piss me off about Sony. This would require just a little bit of extra effort but no. No viral marketing campaign. Or how about doing something with the Ghostbusters phone number? Like they did in 1984. Give us an immersive fan experience. Something! Anything that goes beyond the bare minimum of effort Sony won’t do.
Or how about placing classified ads in major market newspapers for a “help wanted” thing with the ghostbusters logo on it? Maybe a special email address that you email and they reply with something cool. Mail out some swag.
Cool shit like that. It costs very little but just takes a little bit of extra effort and imagination. Nope.
Or ya know, releasing Extreme Ghostbusters on friggin DVD, a format that’s 2 generations old! (I know, I know. They are releasing it on YouTube. And then they stopped for a few months. And now they are starting back up again. Again, the bare minimum)
Look how they treated Ghostbusters 2 on home video. How long did we beg for special features? Commentaries? Deleted scenes? Then they finally release a blu ray…no commentary. But don’t worry! Here comes a double dip steel book with a commentary track recorded so long after the fact they’ve forgotten some of the details.
I will give them this. The makers of that steel book reached out to the guy who runs Spook Central, Paul, and asked him what fans wanted to see. When I heard that it kind of warmed my heart a bit. But I don’t think they were from Sony. *I think* he said they were a 3rd party production facility that does the blu rays for them. And unfortunately they didnt include everything he asked for. Because things have been misplaced or lost.
See. Once I get going I just can’t stop. It’s just so frustrating how incompetent Sony is. The Ghostbusters 2 thing is especially egregious. When I think of some of the movies that have received DVD’s loaded with special features, B movies barely anyone remembers or cult classics that have barely made a profit. When they finally decide to record a commentary we’ve lost Harold. I mean I love Dan, I do. But that first Ghostbusters commentary is one of the best ever. And Harold is a big reason why. The GB2 commentary with Ivan, Dan &… the other guy(joking we love you Joe), it’s kinda stale.
But I digress.
What was I saying? Oh yeah. Adam Savage cameo. Should be cool.
Oh and while I’m at it, my Sony 4K player sucks too! I hate the damn thing.
