Posted on January 31, 2008
Game Informer’s website has posted a raft of new screenshots and concept art for the Ghostbusters video game - it’s all kind of mixed in with the images we’ve seen before, but hey, it’s always nice to look through them again anyhow.
Thanks to Daniel at the GB3 blog for the heads up.

Ecto-1 nears completion
Posted on January 30, 2008
The Hollywood Detective has sent along some recent snaps of the Ecto-twins restoration. The Ecto-1 looks pretty much done, though the bad news is that the Ecto-1a is still in rough shape. However, words is it will be up and roaring for March.

Field Trip!
Posted on January 22, 2008
Boomerjinks and some Rocky Mountain compadres hit the road in his Ecto and went looking for that Ghostbusters mural we mentioned last year. And they found it! And took pictures!
UPDATE: For those in the Denver area.
East on 6th Avenue from I-25. Left (north) on Santa Fe, left (west) on 7th, then left (south) on Lipan. It’s right next to a smallish office building, and about a quarter of a block north of the overpass.

Yes, it’s true. UK Housing officials have no dick.
Posted on January 18, 2008
When a British man explained to the representative of his local housing council that his family was afraid to move into their new townhouse because they felt it was haunted, the “woman housing official told me to contact a priest or call Ghostbusters.” True, it’s up for debate whether there are ghosts, etc., but c’mon. A little human compassion, please.
Housing officer Rita Nabakka apologised to Mr Hussain for her Ghostbusters joke when they met at the house on Tuesday afternoon.
A People 1st spokeswoman said: “When people first move into a house it can take a while to get used to the building’s noises and we hope that Mr Hussain and his family can start to relax in their new home.”

Stay-Puft 8th biggest monster sez EW
Posted on January 17, 2008
The Linear Ranger and fellow surfer Matthew sent in a heads up that Entertainment Weekly online, in honor of tomorrow’s release of Cloverfield and its mysterious, New York crushing monster, have posted their 13 favorite, big movie monsters. Everyone’s favorite sugary sailor came in at number 8 (totally should have been graded higher for having crushed New York before it was cool.)

Ghostbusters freeze for charity
Posted on January 14, 2008
Five hundred people, including the intrepid pack of Ghostbusters (and Slimer) above, took to the frigid waters of White Bear Lake, Minneapolis, to raise money for the Special Olympics. Wisely, they wore the inflatable packs that double as flotation devices.

Toronto to get Reitman Square
Posted on January 14, 2008
The Reitman family, including Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman and his sisters, along with another prominent Toronto family, are working with the Toronto Film Fest to develop a new film studies building, which will include a number of theaters, learning centers, an archive, and so on. The Toronto Film Festival has announced that a nearby city square will be named Reitman Square, in honor of Ivan’s parents (who were more than just mom and dad to the filmmaker, but important local business owners.)
Ivan Reitman and his sisters say Reitman Square will honour their parents and “give back to the city and to the country” that took them in as immigrants.
Thanks to Joe for the heads-up.

Cereal Geek #3 a comin’
Posted on January 13, 2008
Cereal Geek continues to roll out, as news of issue three has just fallen into my lap. It should be ready to hit the shelves in a matter of weeks - Here’s the skinny;
There’s an article summarizing all seven seasons of The Real Ghostbusters, along with a small article about Slimer’s role as a sidekick, and even an article about why Filmation’s
Ghostbusters is disliked - Also, there’s one double page spread showing Janine fighting another redhead of the eighties!
And better yet, it looks like there will be a fourth issue coming soon - the “horror” issue. So, you know that’s going to be chock full of Ghostbusters goodness.
