When I was at the business muggle meeting in January 2020, they showed us concept art of the mini pufts. I remember them swimming in a cup of coffee and I remember all of us Ghostbusters being amazed. The Sony girl said, "think Gremlins".

I like the clip and I like the CGI in it (it is a simple design after all), I think it fits the big guy from the first movie. This is a different situation, different size, lightning... I don't think it's a final scene. As someone already stated, it looks like they re-cut it and added the Bernstein score for this internet video. There are clearly bits missing. Also, the cinematography is very... basic. Remember the trailer? That was some impressive epic widescreen camera work with the Ecto in the corn field or Phoebe and P****** in front of the hills and Trevor having his E.T. moment when he walks to the barn
This video is great, but it's nothing to judge yet

Phillip!
Is it Phillip?!
Its Phillip isn't it?


My take away is Grooberson and I dress exactly the same for dates.

You're one letter short.

[Davideverona]

I'm buying a Z, the number 4, a Q, another Q, another Q..... and the Batman symbol.

Assuming Timo's asterisks represent the true number of letters in Logan's character's name, we have the following possibilities:

Patrick
Preston
Phoenix
Phillip
Presley
Pierson
Phineas
Pearson
Pascual
Pinchas
Paulino
Pinchus
Philipp
Padraig
Praneel

My money's on Patrick for the moment.

I agree. Something tells me that it's Patrick. And my mistake - Phillip also works. I didn't count the number of asterisks right the first time.

[Michael Scott]

It’d be hilarious if it was Patrick. Wasn’t he the user here that was always telling us every tiny Ghostbusters reference or merch was a sign that the 3rd movie was imminent?

My initial thought was Preston, even before Ben’s list.

[Timo]

I'm talking amazing camera work and all I get is this hysteric guessing game. I'm so tired

there'll be some afterlife stuff on yes have some podcast soon:

Over at Forbes, Scott Mendelson is pitching that Ghostbusters: Afterlife should move backward to May 2021 to capitalize on a gap in the release schedule, and the success of Godzilla vs. Kong (and wondering if the clip's release is evidence that Sony is already considering it).

https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmende ... 40c5be24b5

Oh god please! Then we can get the blue ray by November.

[Demon Vice Commander]

Why is there so much secrecy surrounding the name of Logan's character? Surely it has no real significance or bearing on the plot.

Thats cutting it a little bit close isn't it? Just from a sales point of view... It doesn't allow for much of a hype train build up. Is 4 weeks enough? Hows it usually work?

[pizzarat]

2.6K likes and going! I admire the shades of the Bernstein score, but I can totally tell the score is going to be its own entity.

Has anyone tried the new cereal yet? I can't wait to, myself. I feel like it should show up in Central Ohio any day now.

Anyone lol at that "Blue Velvet" reference?

[Kingpin]

Yep, but we don't mention his name for fear it'd be like invoking the Candyman.

Unless it does.

I can't speak from a Ghost Corps perspective, but it remains useful in that any "leak" that doesn't know the correct answer is easy to debunk.

The cereal tastes like Capitan Crunch with Lucky Charms marshmallows.

That's a good reason. The "leaks" we've seen so far all had Phoebe, Trevor, Celeste O'Connor and Logan Kim in it. They were bs.

My money is on PUUFFTT. It will be revealed he was named for his grandfather, marshmallow magnate, Eaton St. Aypuft.

[Michael Scott]

8 hours in, 430K views and 15K likes (vs 364 dislikes) on IGN’s YouTube Mini Pufts clip. More traffic than the Sony/Ghostbusters accounts, and a broader audience. Good to see a positive reaction outside of our hardcore fan base.

[mrmichaelt]

Oh, baby! Loved it So excited and relieved these Mini Pufts are along the lines of the Mogwai/Gremlins and Ash's little demons from Evil Dead.

Anyone else notice that Paul Rudd is wearing the same clothes here as he is in the trailer when the terror dog jumps on the hood of his car?

Yay, one of my theories seems to have panned out!

mrmichaelt will have to update the mini pufts entry on the wiki. Currently it only refers to the mini pufts from the obscure deviations comic.

Ha ha, not until next year probably because there guidelines in place about new content.

Sounds like "Jamoca". "Jamoca Almond Fudge" is one of Baskin Robbins' flavours.

Yeah, Jamoca and Jamoca Almond Fudge are two different flavors. Jamoca is the standard just coffee ice cream and the latter adds in the almonds and fudge.

At first I seriously thoughts you were riffing on Bill Murray's "World of the Psychic" dialog from ghostbusters 2.

Thats how it started, but I couldn't make the rest fit the narrative of whats going on here.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but someone on Twitter pointed our Rudd is wearing a GB pistol belt

It's none of those.

I've rewatched that over and over and you can't see if he's actually wearing a pistol belt.

Yeah I cant see a belt either. I think its just that he's a teacher in a small town and has a selection school keys with him. I could be wrong.

[RichardLess]

So just doing a cursory look at comments on Twitter, avclub & Facebook I would say it seems like this is getting a pretty indifferent-negative reaction. Lots of “they are just trying to get that baby groot/baby Yoda/Minions money”. As soon as the Minipufts became known, this was my fear. Looks like a lot of people made the same mistake I did in assuming that this was an actually commercial rather than a clip. It feels like something they would’ve made for The Super Bowl or MTV Movie Awards.

This of course will not be indicative of the film itself but they should’ve saved these guys for the theatrical experience. Releasing a clip of just the mini pufts reeks of desperation.

Makes me wonder. If Ghostbusters came out in 2021 instead of 1984, would they have spoiled the Mr. Stay Puft bit? Probably. If you are interested to see how movie goers reacted to the scene, read Roger Eberts review. It was a total surprise & a huge laugh.

[SpaceBallz]

Man...you guys need to use one good guy and cross it with your bad eye like I did and you'll see the pistol belt!

Speaking of which, what the heck is that thing they were all riding on? At first I thought it was an upside-down stool seat or something. Maybe a clock or a sign? I have no idea.
