Sure, the ghost special effects somehow have gotten worse in the last 20 years, but it’s pretty much impossible to not be charmed by the Ghostbusters returning to the New York Public Library.
I am amazed at the work some people put in their Halloween costumes, like this Ghostbusters proton pack built with LEDs, an Arduino controller, and red and green lasers. I’m so lazy, I’m going to go as the Wolverine.
Next week, Ghostbusters is being released on Blu-ray. You should definitely buy it.

The mash-up was there all along, staring us in the face. Yet over the billions of years life has taken to evolve, it’s just now that we’re uniting Pac-Man and Ghostbusters in one t-shirt.
