How to get that Stay Puft incentive
Posted on July 31, 2005
So, here’s how you get one of those tiny Mr. Stay-Puft figures with your gift set DVD. In order to get one, you have to pre-order the disc anytime before closing tomorrow (I know, I know, I just found out myself) at Sam Goody, Media Play, Suncoast or Musicland. You’ll get the set for $15 (not $20) and apparently a keen Mr. Stay-Puft. Better hustle though. UPDATE: Thanks to Hayden “The King” for dropping me a line to let me know that the Stay-puft is a car antennae topper! Sadly, Canada is devoid of them, but if you’re in the US, try and get your hands on one.

DVD gift-set early look
Posted on July 30, 2005
Well, we’re three sleeps away from the new GB DVD gift set, and pics have started to come out from people lucky enough to get an early copy. The two disc set isn’t much thicker than the average DVD case, with the two movie discs in thin cases, then packaged with the booklet into a slip case. While early reaction to the slime motif was mixed, the sketchbook style on the back continues into the booklet and discs themselves (each disc has a pencil sketch of the movie’s logo.)
Word has it that some retailers are offering an incentive Stay Puft figure (about 5 inches tall) with the set, but calls to the local Best Buy turned up nothin’. But keep and eye out, you never know.

Post-Comic Con
Posted on July 28, 2005
Taking the GBs to the people, Bryan Fear and co returned to the San Diego Comic Con once more. And as with previous years, they wowwed the crowd. The last minute edition to the roster was a slimer thrower, which they didn’t have when I met up with them a couple of years ago. Awesome! Anyhow, I Bryan sent some pics and I wanted to share.
If anyone has the July 18th issue of variety, keep an eye out for Bryan and troupe (better yet, send me a scan) and this fall watch for them on HBO’s Entourage! This officially makes them the most visable Ghostbusters going!

RGB eps for DVD announced
Posted on July 26, 2005
So, word has it that Citizen Ghost and Partners in Slime are the two RGB episodes to be included on the upcoming Ghostbusters/Ghostbusters2 DVD double set. Someone has also been posting screenshots of the new transfers, for comparison. And I have to say, the colour clean-up looks pretty good. One week left!

More GB2 props for sale
Posted on July 20, 2005
Profiles in History (and by “history” they mean “movies”) is selling two more items from Ghostbusters 2. This time it’s Harold Ramis’ jumpsuit (complete with GB2 patch) and one of the boys’ utility belts. Better jump in fast and take out that second mortgage though - the jumpsuit’s starting price is a mere $8K.

Saving the Old 23
Posted on July 20, 2005
Greg Justis, of GB Detroit, has been coordinating a letterwriting campaign to help the Corporation for History, Arts, and Culture renovate and maintain the Engine #23 firehall in LA (which, for those not familiar with it, was used as an interior location for movies such as Hitch, The Mask, Big Trouble in Little China, and Ghostbusters.) You can follow along here, or download the letter here, print it out, and mail it off to the CHAC to show your support. There will be a gathering at the firehall in August for anyone able to attend.

Sneak peak at gift set scrapbook
Posted on July 16, 2005
DavisDVD.com has posted an early look at some of the 2-disc GB DVD giftset’s scrapbook. For the most part, it looks like some of the material found in the first DVD extras, and other familiar materials repackaged into the booklet. Which is great for the average Joe who doesn’t already have that material. For the rest of us…
