Return of the Ghostbusters

Posted on September 27, 2006

Hank Braxton gave me the heads up on this over a month ago and I only now had a chance to watch it and post. How sad is that?
I loved Freddy Vs. The Ghostbusters, but this time Braxton and co. appear to have set the bar high. At 80 minutes, it’s a feature length undertaking! Return of The Ghostbusters - coming soon!

I feel so funky

Posted on September 27, 2006

There are a lot of covers of the Ghostbusters theme - I haven’t made a point of cataloging them all. Others have done a far better job (anyone have a link for that GB music site with all the versions listed - please send.) But in this case I own the 12″, so I’d be remiss not to bring it up. And as a bonus, some kind soul has already ripped it and made it available online.

Ghostbuster 2006 - Super Villains

Get it while you can - not a cover, not a mash-up. This is a straight up club style remix. Enjoy.

Harold Ramis - Dad of the Month

Posted on September 24, 2006

iparenting.com (proof that there is a website covering everything) made Harold Ramis thier Father of the Month.

“A very powerful entertainment executive once said to me, ‘No matter how busy I get, I have dinner at least once a week with my kids,’” Ramis laughs. “In the real world, that’s a pathetic statement.”

Ray Parker Jr. on writing “Ghostbusters”

Posted on September 16, 2006

A short but very informative interview with Ray Parker Jr., wherein he talks about the making of the song in a hurry.

And then I thought, there’s no way you’re going to sing ‘Ghostbusters’ in a song and make it sound good, so instead of singing it, I’d have a crowd answer me.”

The article even lists the various equipment he used to make the song and reveals who shouted out “Ghostbusters!” in the recording.

Buttons make me feel good

Posted on September 14, 2006


As threatened months ago, I continue to look for ways to mark the 10 year mark for PC - the last batch of stickers came and went, so I thought I’d try something new (see above.)

“And how can I get some?”, you might well ask. Easy!

IN CANADA
Send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

IN US
Send me a self-addressed envelope, and a dollar to cover postage.

ABROAD
Send me a self-addressed envelope, and two bucks. Or surprise me.

Email me for my mailing address, if you’re interested.

Limited supply, first come, first served and all that.

GB C64 2K6

Posted on September 12, 2006

The Retro Remakes competition (wherein code monkeys try their hand and re-doing their favorite old games) has just ended and one clever brain decided to re-do the old C64 Ghostbusters game - better machines to run the game on mean better sound, better graphics, and in a couple of places, new gameplay.
