Get Ray on the Transformers DVD
Posted on August 30, 2007
I’m not a fan of online petitions - I don’t think they wield anywhere near the power or impact online fans think they do, but this one is just goofy enough that I’m intrigued. It’s a petition to get Frank “Ray” Welker added to the Transformers DVD as an alternate audio track to Hugh Weaving’s Megatron.
Ghostbustours premieres September 13th at ConFlux
Posted on August 30, 2007
Remember when we previously mentioned that New York group that was putting together multi-media walking tours of the city, starting with Ghostbusters? If you’re shaking your head “no”, then go read here.
For those of you that do remember, well awesome news - they’re going to be premiering the tour at the Brooklyn ConFlux this year. The gang will be hanging around for the entire event, but the tour will be on September 13th. If you have a video ipod or PSP, bring it - if not they will have a few devices on hand for you to sign out. And if you’re really clever, bring headphone splitters, and share with someone.
Hopefully some NY area ghostheads will be able to attend and give us a report.

“Send… more… Ghostbusters…”
Posted on August 27, 2007
Well, it started in a quick downpour and ended in high spirits - with 200 undead shambling three miles around downtown Vancouver, Zombie Walk 2007 is now over.
The Ghostbusters were vastly outnumbered (above, left to right - Brendan, yours truely, and Colin), but it was enough fun that we’re planning on expanding it next year - a large number of pamphlets were handed out to amused bystanders (and one police officer), and we sold $50 in I ♥ Zombies pins which will be going to the Vancouver Children’s Hospital (it might not sound like a lot, but it was very spur of the moment, plus with 200 zombies and 100 pins, that’s a good percentage sold.)
Anyone wanting to have a look a the pamphlet can see side one and side two online. (full sized versions for those without Flickr accounts here and here.)
Want a pin? Same deal as last time PC made buttons - send a self-addressed envelope and a buck to cover postage (or two, if you want to add to the Children’s Hospital pot.) to me. Email me for further details.

ZombieWalk07 - who, what, wha?
Posted on August 23, 2007
OK, it looks like there’s going to be a bunch of us - appropriately enough, we will be horribly outnumbered by the undead. Not a concern, as they’re generally harmless and we will have taken our anti-human mortis shots (or Zom-B-Gone, as Dr. Venkman likes to call it.)
Here are the particulars from the Facebook listing;
Time and PlaceDate: Saturday, August 25, 2007
Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: Vancouver Art Gallery
Street: 750 Hornby Street
City/Town: Vancouver, BC

Some will be humans, some will be zombies - your choice. The GBs may likely proceed the parade, or skip to the end. We’ll be playing it be ear. In any case, dead or not, you’ll all get some PC pins and there will be GBI zombie pamphlets to help hand out. And we’re going to make the pins available for a donation, which will be given the BC Children’s Hospital.
Final details, if any, tomorrow.
Cereal:Geek second issue coming soon
Posted on August 22, 2007
They said it couldn’t be done! Provided they means “no one” and couldn’t means “it could work.”
Cereal: Geek magazine, which featured no end of Real Ghostbusters love, has been enough of a success to warrant a second issue… which also features some Real Ghostbusters love. Just check out the back cover for more Saturday morning goodness. No word yet on North America retailers carrying the magazine, but I’ll keep an ear to the ground.

“Let’s run some red lights!”

Well, this beats the time he crashed a University party in Scotland. Bill Murray was pulled over for being intoxicated while driving a golf cart. Shrug.

An exclusive ghost! Game sale! Whoo!
Posted on August 21, 2007
Octavirate, the makers of ExorSystems Inc. have extended a cool offer to PC readers - for starters, they’re offering a 15% discount on the ExorSystems core rules, just for being you. But wait! There’s more!
They’ve also furnished me with an exclusive ghost for the game - Vertigox (Class 2 Posthumous Ectoplasmic Phantasm). There is also a memo from the ExorSystems head office;
It has also come to our attention that some franchises are ignoring regulations regarding the keeping of free-roaming spirits as pets and/or mascots. Remember, the “friendly ghost” phenomenon has turned out to be false in all but a handful of cases. Do not take unnecessary risks: trap all ectoplasmic and paramortal entities as soon as possible. We do not want a repeat of the unpleasantness in Westchester…
The store discount is for a limited time, until the end of the August, but the exclusive ghost is forever.

Cera keeps talkin’ Ghostbusters, ghosts… oh and Superbad
Posted on August 11, 2007
If I were in a hit movie and got to go on national TV to promote it… I’d talk Ghostbusters too. Michael Cera cited Ghostbusters as his inspiration for going into acting on Jimmy Kimmel and then talked about his own run in with the supernatural on Conan O’Brien.
Michael also talks about meeting Ernie Hudson at ComicCon and that he’s working with Harold Ramis. This is in addition to also working with Jason Reitman (Ivan Reitman’s son) on the dark comedy, Juno. A salute to Mr. Cera for being the highest profile Ghostbusters fan in the world right now.
There should be, like, an award for that. Or something. Maybe just go see Superbad instead.

We Are Legion - Seth Rogan
Posted on August 9, 2007
Awhile back I mentioned an interview with Michael Cera, one of the stars of Superbad, wherein he mentions a love of Ghostbusters. He’s still dropping props to the GBs in fact.
But the film isn’t just popular with Cera it seems, as Seth Rogen - the writer/director of Superbad - also mentions a past history with Ghostbusters. Though, it’s a little convoluted. And naughty.
In an interview with Rogen, a scene was described, wherein one of the movie’s characters (called, not coincidentally, Seth) admits to a secret shame, involving a Real Ghostbusters lunchbox. I debated posting about it, but it seemed pointless if you hadn’t seen the movie. Well, thanks YouTube (and Jack Story for sending me the link), now you can.
Totally Not Safe For Work (but funny)
