What I really wanted to ask was: has he a significant presence before the “can I be of any help?” bit?

Yes he does, and his first scene with Kumail got a lot of laughs in the theater.

@DancingToaster

Also, do you feel like they balanced all the characters pretty well, especially considering they had a bigger cast this time around? It seems like a lot of characters to juggle over less than two hours. From what I’ve heard, Kumail’s character surpassed some expectations.

I feel they did a good job of juggling all the characters, but some characters definitely could have benefit from more screen time. The movie absolutely hustles along.

Kumail in almost every scene he’s in brings the laughs. Of all the new characters introduced…I think I feel it’s safe to say he’s my favorite.

Did the other new characters have a lot of screentime, or did they mainly fill in to help the main characters move the plot along?

Also, I know you said you didn’t have to agree to keep stuff secret, but other commenters/reviewers mentioned that they couldn’t spoil things. I know the review embargo doesn’t lift until the 20th, but I’m not sure what they consider “reviews,” or if commenters were mainly keeping spoilers secret more because they wanted to than because they had to.

Perhaps the trailer “scene” of the Spenglers on the roof all in coats was the product of the same photo shoot used to generate all of the character shots used in the various posters. That’s why everyone has their coats open in both examples I’ve placed below, and Phoebe has a PKE meter.

The only costuming difference I can see is Carrie wearing the goggles… and that might have been done on post using CGI. It’s hard for me to tell since I’m traveling and looking at a phone—but the Goggles on Lucky’s head in the international trailer most certainly looked to be added after the fact.

So Lucky definitely wears a red coat in the film. Does Lars? Please tell me they didn’t cut the scene of Pinfield searching in the dark and getting nailed by a stream of Ecto vomit.

Ok? Your point being what? You can go ahead and stop asking me questions, I won’t be answering any of yours anymore then.

For those who want to know more, feel free to ask.

What about Emily Lind’s character?

[deadderek]

She plays Melody, a ghost that befriends Phoebe.

[mrmichaelt]

Nobody needs to worry about NDAs here. If something is a no-no, AJ will let us know. Ghost Corps is fast as lightning when it comes to that.

[MurraytheMantis]

Asking again!

A few things I’d like to know please.

Does it have an eclectic soundtrack as in different songs like GB 84 GB2 and GBA?

What does the score sound like compared to GB 84 and GB2?

Is there a bustin’ montage and passage of time like in GB 1 and 2?

[deadderek]

Sure. Less than Afterlife though.

What does the score sound like compared to GB 84 and GB2?

Being my first time seeing the movie I didn’t really pay that much attention but what I did notice was it seemed heavily Elmer influenced.

Is there a bustin’ montage and passage of time like in GB 1 and 2?

No bustin’ montage to my disappointment. There’s a couple of prime moments it would have made sense to have one. The passage of time between Afterlife and Frozen Empire is acknowledged.

[MurraytheMantis]

Thank you.

Care to list the songs (or DM) if you can remember them?

Also with passage of time does the movie take place over a few weeks/days or shorter such as over a few hours?

As for the lion? Best joke in the movie. Loved every second of it.

Slowmotion tail almost caused me to slime myself.

Only way they could’ve possibly improved that scene is if they had it possess the other lion as well.

Can’t wait. Beyond excited. They should have gone full lion.

Wayment…

[deadderek]

OMG Alpha you just reminded me. I completely forgot. One ghost from their past DID show up even though the bust wasn’t shown on screen.

It was the minge coat

[alphagaia]

A minge coat? Sounds fishy to me.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean anything like that at all

I just wasn’t sure why others on Youtube seemed to be so tight lipped as if they had to be, and I thought maybe it was just because they were considered reviewers or something and weren’t allowed to say more. (Basically, did certain specific attendees have to follow different rules regarding spoilers).

I’m thankful that you’re telling us about the movie, especially since I can’t find more info elsewhere. I’m really sorry again that my comment was unclear!

Seconded. Would also like to know any songs in the movie!

From the orchestral soundtrack track listing, I’d say it takes place over two or three days. Haven’t seen it though, so just a grain o’ salt guess.

She plays Melody, a ghost that befriends Phoebe.

I feel there’s going to some weird shipping fan fic between her and Phoebe in the near future.

you just HAD to put that out into the universe… like, sure, it was probably going to happen, but now? Now we have someone to blame XD

It just popped in there. Too much time on tv tropes I suppose.

To be fair, he could also just asked what you meant instead of assuming the worst and give you a veto.

I mean erik actually did ask for clarification, but then he answered for you.

I’m aware that’s not always an easy thing to do. It happens to the best of us.
