I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft!
No 189 - Ghostbusters Director - Ivan Reitman Ah nostalgia! It is a truly beautiful thing. The G hostbusters were a big thing when I was a kid. I admit that I didn't have much experience of the actual film, but the cartoons were fabulous and the toys were pretty much the coolest (non Lego ) toys I had. You could squeeze their arms and their head would change expression . Genius. Incidentally.... why is Egon blonde in the 'Real Ghostbusters ' cartoon and toy franchise? What a strange thing to change.... The problem about nostalgia is it makes everything seem better than it was. However, Ghostbusters is not a victim of nostalgia at all - it is brilliant. The film is really well made, mixing slapstick comedy with witty banter and moment that are genuinely creepy. It also introduces the character of Peter Venkman - I don't care how much I loved the cartoons, there is no way that cartoon Peter could ever challenge the mighty Bill Murray. Murray is one of the best sarcast...
