Bad Taste Bears to release Murray, a GB inspired bear figure. NSFW-ish

Bad Taste Bears, purveyors of exceptionally tasteless figures of bears being… well, tasteless, have had a long run of popular movie inspired figures and they’ve just announced their next line of these Movie Bears will include Murray, a familiar and unfortunate bear getting a faceful of ghost. Kind of like Venkman meeting Slimer, only far far worse. You’ll know what we mean from the pics.
It should go without saying, any link you follow here has some level of NSFW going on.
Thanks to Gary for the link!

GB look-alikes casting-call solved?

Categories: GB

Published on: April 26, 2012

Remember that mysterious casting call for GB photo-doubles a few months back? Maybe it was for this ad campaign. To promote its 3D home theater sound-system, LG’s ad agency of choice, Y&R, has produced as series of posters showing famous movie posters from the back. Besides placement of mirror-image titles, text, and logos, the posters need people who look like the original actors from behind. No sign of the Ghostbusters poster yet – in fact, it’s possible the concept didn’t work well with the GB poster (notice how all the released ones have blank backgrounds, whereas GB had a horizon and sky) in which case we may never know for sure. But still – this makes total sense.

Thanks to Troy for the smart thinking.

James “Angry Video Game Nerd” Rolfe and crew peer way too far into the Ghostbusters film plots. And that’s saying something coming from me.

This Saturday, April 21st, at The Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, MI, there is a midnight screening of Ghostbusters! 6 bucks! More info here!

IGT to release second Ghostbusters slot machine.

Published on: March 28, 2012

Last year International Gaming Technology unveiled their Ghostbusters video slot machine. Reaction to it has been good enough that IGT is set to release a Ghostbusters spinning reel slot machine. I’m not an expert on the differences between the two, but they clearly are two different machines, each featuring a unique set of video slot games. IGT has posted their press blurb, gameplay video (which was posted to YouTube on Monday), and machine stills at their website. The game features the same excellent likenesses and props as the first game. Stay tuned for more info regarding locations. Big thanks to Charles for the heads up!

Ghostbusters #6 CoverPeaks and valleys of Ghostbusters III news got you down? It’s okay, kids – that’s Hollywood. Welcome to our every day rollercoaster of emotions out here in Tinseltown. But here’s something that you can take comfort in knowing: there’s plenty of new and unexplored Ghostbusters material on the horizon if IDW’s most recent issue has anything to say about it.

As you no doubt gathered from my near (okay totally) gushing look at Ghostbusters #3, I’ve been a huge fan of the on-going series since day one, and the creative team behind the book hasn’t let up since. The quality of issue six is on par with the previous installments and continues weaving the threads introduced in issue five. Plenty of in-jokes and references are still abound but just as in the previous five issues, aren’t distracting and overly in your face. In fact, the addition of a certain “guest star” character fits in seamlessly and doesn’t feel forced. It actually opens up the storytelling to allow Burnham and the rest of the creative team to infuse stories that have been left needing to be told and sets this on-going series into a cool and exciting canon where the sky is the limit. I can’t wait to see who else shows up in every panel. (more…)

This is an ace poster, featuring the guys from what looks a lot like their first bust (plus Winston added in, because he deserves to be there, dammit.) Big thanks to Grim for the link!

Jonathan Cardwell sent a link to Amazon, which is now listing the second volume of their trade paperback collection of the on-going Ghostbusters series. Volume 1 is due out in March (featuring the Nick Runge Abbey Road cover), while Volume 2 is due out in July (no cover shown yet.)

I highly recommend supporting your local comic shop by picking these books up from them, but in a pinch, you can also order online via Amazon, which is nice to know. It’s also a fair bet GBFans’ shop will also carry some.
