We went to see Ghostbusters (1984) at the local theater yesterday night.

( In which I talk about Ghostbusters a lot )

*How little Winston is in this. My concept of Ghostbusters when I was a kid was primarily through the cartoon, where, if I remember correctly, the four were equal team-members. Here, he's a late hire, working-class guy that's a foil to the hyper-educated Peter, Ray and Egon.

Yep, I noticed this, too. There are other things that come up and then I have to remember, Oh, that was the cartoon...

I'm curious how race, gender, etc. will be addressed in the new one.

Also, the widescreen dvds are really cheap. I got the two pack plus movie scrapbook at Barnes and Noble for 15.

How did I not know there's going to be a third Ghostbusters!?! I AM EXCITE.

Yes, hopefully their gender and race issues will be improved in the follow up. Wow, I can't believe that was almost 30 years ago! Hope they move with the times.

Were there any special features on the two pack? I'm a sucker for special features.

Commentary, deleted scenes, behind the scenes stuff and two episodes from the animated series!

I have such fond memories of the film, I'm not sure I'd want to rewatch it and remember the flaws!

Yeah, it's always interesting to go back and re-watch stuff; sometimes you notice odd new things.

It's still a really fun and funny movie, though.
