The 1980's Archetype of Comedic Bad Guy who always gets his comeuppance in the end. <br /><br />Oh and did you catch the Joan Collins cameo in the hotel scene. Was that shot at an actual hotel because the Ghostbusters are walking in, and then Bill gets his usual sardonic half lazy smile and kind of shuts up for a second as he watches a lady walk by to the exit and she turns her head and its Joan Collins with a look on her face that reads, "That was Bill Murray, and what the heck is he wearing?" - both look actually surprised, like it was accidental.<br /><br />A couple observations on watching Ghostbusters in the movie theater again: This is Sigourney Weaver at her hottest. Pre-James Cameron Aliens, super sexy. Watching the movie again in the movie theater after all these years was AWESOME! The movie looked awesome. Rick Moranis just cracked me up all over again. It just hit me as soon as I saw Ernie Hudson (rock solid) I realized that he was also Sgt Albrecht from THE CROW. <br /><br />Bill Murray...what can one say, he strolled through the movie like he was above it all, with his classic Bill Murray facial looks, his laid back one liners. Good stuff. <br /><br />and lastly and most importantly: Dan Aykroyd was NOT over the top obnoxious and annoying as he usually is. I was shocked how he almost seemed to be just another part of the team with his classic lines and not over acting. To be quite frank, I can't stand Dan Aykroyd. In only one movie I really liked him and that was TRADING PLACES, and he was awesome in it. Other than that I have to admit I'm not a fan (yes, to this day I can't stand the movie THE BLUES BROTHERS). He was pleasantly, surprisingly, enjoyable.<br /><br />In the end it really was a pleasure watching it on the big screen again. I'll never love it like I did when I first saw it, but it gave me a nice dose of nostalgia buzz. Ripper Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074155968277502192noreply@blogger.com
