The poses are too ... posed? They're trying too hard to be cool or edgy, and it's not working for me. The look of the characters, the costumes and the car, though, that's all fine. I'll just need to see how the film works out.

"No. I think I'd find it a bit small and wierd."
"Aren't they dangerous? Don't they get hit by stuff?"

Perhaps it's a posed photo?

Perhaps it is. That doesn't change my opinion.

The thing is that your ridiculous opinion gives off the notion that the movie may serious business because of an obviously posed photo. Paul Feig's track record shows us that it will not be serious business.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. All I said was that I don't like the way they're posed in the photo. I don't see why this implies that the film will be more or less comical than if they were standing differently.

Googling "Ghostbusters publicity photo" gives me a lot of posed shots of the original cast, all of which I dislike as much as this one. I was sure I remembered publicity shots and/or posters for Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters 2 with the four original cast members in a more relaxed group, but it appears I imagined them all.

Did you mean to imply that you thought I thought it was a still from the actual footage?
