Anyone have any idea why the ghostbusters set had so many disc packing errors when the other sony 4k sets like karate kid and underworld didnt?

His GBII commentary was also awfully low-energy.

Damn.

That's sad news. Just watched GB courtesy of the new 4K release a few nights ago. RIP Mr Reitman.

RIP talented director and producer Ivan Reitman! we shall miss you. You brought us joy, imagination and all.

Here's a wake in honor of him using Bernstein's Dana's theme as a send off to him

Conan The Barbarian · 02-14-2022, 04:32 AM

This set now has a more special meaning.

Damn.

Agreed,I haven't even really cracked into the set yet but it's just going to add more weight when I do.

Very sad news to hear.

That was recorded 3 or four years ago.

Very Sad news and makes this new set even more special with him recording a couple of new select scene commentary's for it.
He's left a phenomenal body of work though and left a lasting impact on pop culture.

Matt89 · 02-14-2022, 06:16 AM

Ugh. This sucks. Reitman was a comedy legend and had a huge influence on Canadian cinema.

RIP Ivan.

You made Canada proud.

Obviously he'll always be known for giving us Ghostbusters, but he had so many other great movies in his filmography. He helped out fellow Canadian legend David Cronenberg by producing Shivers. He also raised a hell of a filmmaker in Jason.

Rest easy Mr. Reitman.

Considering how many of these got "lost", and how many copies the re-sellers seem to have (the one I ordered from still has 19 in stock!), I really wonder if there was some clandestine operation among delivery personnel to "lose" the legitimate orders and slip to the re-sellers.

Thanks for your response! Guess I’ll reach out to Amazon chat. Really sucks that it has to come to this. I was really looking forward to this set. I agree that Amazon “losing” all these orders seems suspect.

Anyone know if Sony is doing a missing slipcover replacement for afterlife? That’s the only thing wrong with my box set.

Guydowood · 02-14-2022, 02:12 PM

a bittersweet goodbye to one of the GOATS of Hollywood. I mean just look at his first 8 features! All Cinematic Classics.

Meatballs
Stripes
Ghostbusters
Legal Eagles
Twins
Ghostbusters II
Kindergarten Cop
Dave

I wonder now if his son Jason will take the reigns on the Twins follow-up Triplets. So glad he was able to see the success of GB: Afterlife! Rest Easy Sir Ivan!

RIP Ivan Reitman. Watching this recent footage (especially at 23:35) of him will always bring tears now:
