See, I am the "right" age for Ghostbusters, and I didn't even recognize that the "dogs and cats" was from Ghostbusters. Which I guess means that it is a quote that has trancended the movie.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I saw Ghostbusters when I was seven years old, in the theatre, with two siblings and a passel of neighbor children, and I thought I had seen the heights of cinema artistry.
And it's a pleasant surprise to go back, 20+ years later, and realize it is still a good movie. Not the heights of cinema artistry, but, it's pretty damn funny, and not in a way that sacrifices the scary/exciting.
Also, marshmallow man the size of the Chrysler Building. What's not to love?

I can't even.

I agree, it holds up pretty well. Co-written by Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis, it has that Second City/SNL sensibility and the dialogue remains very snappy, which is why people remember it so fondly, I suppose.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
And their delivery was golden. Aykroyd's "It's the Stay-puff marshmallow man," had just the right note of being resigned to the absurd horror of it all.

I just checked, and my place of employ has Ghostbusters on DVD! Go Team Weekend Fun!
mr. flea has gotten really good at making popcorn in a pan. After many years of microwave popcorn, I had forgotten how much better pan-popped is.

Yummmm, pan-popped popcorn! My mom had gotten rid of the old popcorn maker when I was in college, so she started using the dutch oven pan for popping it on the stove, which is where I got my taste for that way of cooking it. Microwave has nothing on pan-popped popcorn.
I just wish it was easier to clean the oil out of the pan later. No matter how much I soak it right away, it still keeps that yucky slickness.

Why, cuz I haven't seen those movies?
Because when I was in grade school, you couldn't escape Ghostbusters.
Do you know where I was pretty much exactly 21 years ago today? At Lewis and Clark Theatre, with a bunch of my classmates, my hair in freaking curlers under a cap because my sister was getting married later in the day and I was to have ringlets, watching Ghostbusters. For the second time.

I remember you couldn't escape the Ghostbusters theme at the skating rink.
