Web comics don’t come hipper or more hardcore than xkcd. There’s something very awesome that he’s turned his eyes upon Ghostbusters. Thank you Mr. Randall for the link!
[UPDATE] See, even Wil Wheaton likes it – that’s how web hip the strip is.
The Proton Charging-80s Tees Big Ass Contest – closed!
Whoo! Exciting!
Actually, I wrote this days in advance, and set the timer to Midnight, August 5th – the closing date for the contest – so I’m not technically excited. I’m probably asleep.
But, I’ve seen the things you’ve been submitting and heard the things you’ve been doing, and I am, overall, very excited. Those of you that entered, thank you – I will contact you all shortly, and suffice to say with that pile of swag I gathered, I think I can swing it that nobody walks away empty handed!
Thanks gang!
GBTV: Interview with Tom Morga (GB stuntman)
Are you still watching GBTV? You should be – they left the gate strong and they’re still givin’er, having just posted their interview with Tom Morga, who was Harold Ramis’ stunt double on the first film (that’s Tom above, about to fall into the fake New York street outside the fake Dana’s apartment.) Check it out!
We Are Legion: The Middleman writer Hans Beimler
It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that a show – in this case, ABC’s The Middleman – which is based on a comic book, about an artist conscripted by a nameless secret agent to help defend the world from the bizarre, would have Ghostbusters references. What is surprising is the sheer number of them!
My only real introduction to the show was when Sci-Fi magazine gave it a big thumbs up – which is to say it’s 8 episodes in and I haven’t seen a single episode. But I tripped over a Zap2It review of last night’s episode; The Ectoplasmic Panhellenic Investigation.
I didn’t read the synopsis too much (I’m reluctant to link to it – it’s spoiler-tastic), but a Ghostbuster fan would be in heaven from all the nods. Let’s just say familiar names abound. I’m off to find a copy.
Anybody here actually watch this show? Is it worth watching?
SDCC RGB DVD FLV! (aka Comic Com Real Ghostbusters Trailer)
Video Loading…
If you were watching all the photos coming out of Comic Con the other week, you may have noticed some TV screens at the Ghostbusters booth showing a trailer for the Real Ghostbusters DVD – well, here it is! Short, but sweet, the trailer hypes the key points of the set, shows the familiar opening titles, and includes a clip of story-lead, J. Michael Straczynski.
Time-Life is taking pre-orders on the set, at 10% off, until September 1st, so that’s less than a month to jump on that offer. Currently only US buyers and Canadian buyers shipping to a US address can order online – I’m trying to find out as many options as possible, but for the moment, those are the two sure-fire ways to get your hands on this DVD collection.
