Ghostbusters

[Trekker4747]

I watched this movie recently and I'm seriously considering getting this.

I mean, I love this movie and I love the Ghostbusters.

Ghostbusters 2: Meh.

But, for me, as much as I love the first movie and can watch it numerous times it always "stops" for me after they hire Winston and the real "plot" starts. At that point the comparitively "mundane"-ness of the movie stops and they take on the deal with Gozer. There's still plenty of great moments and scenes int he remainder of the movie. But, for me, the movie was just so much more interesting and capitvating during their setting up of the business and operation of it. Fighting the world-ending baddie was a bit... I dunno out there.

Still and awesome, awesome, movie. But I can watch the Sedgwick scenes (and the proceeding "GOT ONE!!!" scene) countless times more than I can watch the Gozer stuff at the end.

"If someone asks you iuf you are a god, you say 'YES'!"

"Is this true?"
"Yes, your honor -- this man has no dick."

"The affect? The affect?! I'll tell you what the affect is, it's PISSING ME OFF!!!"
"Then maybe my theory is correct!"

Effect. Not affect.

"I forgot one important thing. Don't cross the streams."
"Why?
"It would be bad."
"I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad."
"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."
"Total protonic reversal."
"Right, important safety-tip, thanks Egon."

"You're right. No human being would stack books like this."

"Venkman! What happened?
"He slimed me."
"That's great! Actual. Physical. Contact! ... Can you move?"
"I feel so funky."
"Egon, I'm with Venkman. He got slimed!"
"That's great! Save some for me!"

Damn. I'm going to go watch this again.

"What about the Twinkee?"

"Remember that time you drilled to drill a hole through your head?"
"That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me."


"Who are you guys supposed to be?"
"Exsterinators; somebody thought they saw a cockroach on the 4th floor."
"Must be some cockroach."
"Bite your head off, man."

"You know, we've never had a successful test of this equipment..."
"I blame myself.."
"So do I."

"I didn't realize it would be so much; I won't pay it..."
"That's all right, we can just put this back right where we got it..."

Gotta do it:

Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you believe in God?
Dr Ray Stantz: Never met him.
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, well, I do. And I love Jesus's style, you know.
Dr Ray Stantz: The entire roof cap is made out of a magnesium-tungsten alloy...
Winston Zeddemore: What are you so involved with over there?
Dr Ray Stantz: These are the blueprints for structural ironwork of Dana Barret's apartment building, and they are very, very strange.
Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you remember something in the bible about the last days when the dead would rise from the grave?
Dr Ray Stantz: I remember Revelations 7:12...?And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood."
Winston Zeddemore: "And the seas boiled and the skies fell."
Dr Ray Stantz: Judgement day.
Winston Zeddemore: Judgement day.
Dr Ray Stantz: Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.
Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?
Dr Ray Stantz: [Pause ] How 'bout a little music?
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah.

Always thought that was a great scene.

(Louis)"Who are you?"
(Ray)"We're the Ghostbusters."
"... Who does your taxes?"
"You know, Mr. Tully, you're a very fortuante individual."
"I know."
"You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross-rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!"
"Felt great."
(Egon)"I'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue."
"Okay."

(Peter) "Are you, Alice, mensturating right now?"
(Library head) "What's THAT got to do with it?"
"Back off man, I'm a scientist."

[Philo]

I love this movie so much I got a copy of the hard to find score and listen to it regularly! It's great!

 

[Reverend]

"LISTEN...do you smell something?"

 

[Broccoli]

"Yes. No normal human being would stack books like this."

"Someone blows their nose, and you want to keep it?"
followed later by...
"Egon, your mucus."

Oh good god. Okay folks: Peter was testing negative reinforcement on ESP ability. Electric shocks alter the mind which would control ESP.

But effect also works, checking Dictionary.com's listing for that word. So this should be over now.
