Successful Ghostbusters?

[Winston]

It was rather popular back in the early 80's, wasn't it. I wonder how it would compare to today's comedies aimed at a predominantly teenage audience.

Please include examples when replying; I need this to keep this forum from getting so frustratingly boring.

I love Ghostbusters, but I really don't understand what you want me to say about it...

[Winston]

Talk about any 80's movie, then.

[Drake Tungsten]

What should I say about them?

[Winston]

Beats me.

[FrostyBoy]

No, nowadays, the "ghostbusters" would have to become "the one" and enter the netherworld and destroy it to save the universe.

[FrostyBoy]

oh and there would not be ghostbusters, but a ghost buster.

Friends and teams are for losers. If you can't do it yourself, you suck.

[Winston]

Good points.

The musical theme would also suck if made today, I'm sure.

That's actually the main thing I remember from the movie. That and those backpacks they had on. Apart from that, I've totally blanked out what the heck it was all about.

In this respect, it closely resembles Beverly Hills Cop to me. Save for the backpacks..

Anyone ever watch Ghost Hunters on SciFi? I like that show. It's funny when someone thinks they have a ghost and the plummer dude is all, you just have bad plumbing and a leaky circuit box...

They even went to that Hotel from the Shinning. They only had one event they couldn't explain happen to them, but it was insane.

A "real" scientific approach to thew hole show, which I like.

If someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!

I'm fuzzy on this whole good/bad thing.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

I am the keymaster, are you the gatekeeper?

I always wanted to try that line out on a girl... on second thought, maybe I don't

[Lorizael]

Just have to find the right girl.

Whenever my wife works herself into a tizzy about something, my daughter and I can be counted on to say, in unison:

"Dogs and cats, sleeping together! MASS HYSTERIA!"
