Dan Aykroyd And Bill Murray Pitched "Ghostbusters" To Theaters Owners Back In 1984

Let's talk about the prison scene:

This has always been my favourite scene in Ghostbusters. I know it may seem a bit weird to find this scene amazing but bare with me.

This scene is their most vulnerable moment, they are in a state of limbo at whether they are going to jail or walk free. No one is in control here, they have no idea what's going to happen, meaning we see the true and hidden characteristics of each Ghostbuster.

Egon

Egon mostly proves to be everything we thought. He is logical and intelligent, he seems to be the only one who has done any form of in-depth research on Dana's case. He found the architect's name (Ivo Shandor) and all his history while working full time as a Ghostbuster, inventing their equipment and keeping an eye on the storage facility's data, reinforcing the preconception that Egon is a workaholic and incredibly smart. However, it's also a moment you see a new characteristic - confidence. When Egon tells Venkman, Ray and Winston what is happening, Egon is only expecting them to listen, when everyone else in the cell decides to listen you see that Egon is shocked. It's obvious that he doesn't expect anyone to listen but when he comes to terms with the fact the other prisoners are listening, Egon gains confidence. When stating facts about Shandor, Egon becomes increasingly confident and he even stands up at the end to prove the severity of the situation. This is never seen before as Egon is usually subdued, quiet and rarely ever uses body language, and in this whole scene he is completely different. This shows that Egon has the characteristic of confident and that he can command a presence, which is shown by the fact that everyone starts listening to him. He is a confident individual when it comes to his science and facts, especially when explaining them and this is completely shown here. Egon is not always the reserved scientist we thought, he has confidence but just expresses it differently.

Ray

Ray is shown to be intelligent in multiple different ways. Ray is completely involved in the investigation of Dana's apartment as he does his part of the research and learns the foundation that the architecture is weird, it's a conductor and these are all facts Egon builds on. This shows that Ray is a intelligent individual who gives facts that are as valuable as Egon's, and along with this a different type of intelligence emerges. In this scene, Ray is the only one who realises that Venkman has been lying the whole time about studying. This took a lot of intelligence to work out as you usually trust people, especially ones you have known for a long time and come from a credential background. The fact Ray works it out shows that he has a deep knowledge of his friends, proving that he has amazing intelligence when it comes to understanding people. However, it also shows Ray's bravey. Making an accusation that big could have backfired as Venkman may have become deeply offended, if he actually had studied. Therefore, it shows that Ray is an individual who is intelligent and incredibly brave as questioning people's credentials, could result in a massive argument or a falling out. This whole scene shows that Ray has an amazing perception and intelligence of people as he deduces Venkman's lies immediately and that he has confidence in each of his analysis, as he said that Venkman was lying with full confidence, despite the only legitimate evidence being a feeling.

Winston

Winston is showed to be intelligent and logical. In this scene he seems to be the only one whose genuinely concerned about going to jail, he is the only one who shouts at the guard and tries to get out. The rest are not really bothered, they're more concerned about sharing information on Gozer, but as much as Winston believes in it he understands that the fact being in jail is the more important problem, as they can't stop Gozer if they're locked up. He is also the only one who realises that the reality of Gozer coming is just going to look insane in a court, as to the outside world ghosts are not really considered real. All of this reveals that Winston is intelligent and logical, he is a realist and has an amazing perception of the outside world and social situations. He's as intelligent as Egon but in a completely different way, his intelligence lies in his knowledge of the real world, and this gives him a vital role within Ghostbusters as without Winston's intelligence of the outside world they would have no real idea of how to navigate it.

Venkman

Venkman is shown to be helpful and caring. After Egon is finished explaining that Gozer is coming back all the prisoners are still around him. This would make Egon uneasy as he hates social situations and he has no more science or facts to make him feel confident as he's finished explaining. Venkman knows how uneasy Egon is and helps as he starts singing. He does this to draw attention away from Egon and while singing he forces everyone back, and he keeps going they are all far away from Egon. It's a small thing but it shows how much he really does care about Egon and all of the Ghostbusters. Venkman obviously understands them all on a deep level as it took him about a second to realise that Egon was uncomfortable. This all shows that despite all his faults Venkman is helpful and more importantly caring, he will do anything to insure that the rest of the his colleagues are happy and secure, even if it means embarrassing himself.

This is why I absolutely love this scene. We see glimpses of their personalities that we never see in any other situation. It's the most honest they all are, it shows their character development and more importantly gives us all a million more reasons to love them.

ermmm who u gonna call x] ?/?/????

Evolution 2001

First movie. Evolution.

Bowl: Heart Eyes, courtesy of my friend Debz

This is something that I've seen a lot. Like I mean a lot a lot. I've watched countless times with my family.

One of probably the only things I have in common with my siblings is that we are part of an addiction, an addiction to movies. This happens to be one of the ones we watched on a semi regular basis and could probably repeat in my sleep.

Something random, I named my hamster after David Duchovny's character in this movie. Yupp, his name was Ira Cane. I also named my dog as Ian Somerhalder's character in his earlier role of Boone in Lost. This one was longer, is name was Boone Ian Somerhalder *Insert my last name here*

Of course none of this really has to deal with the movie, but what do you expect from a blog starting with the word reefer lol!

And already munchie lol. Time for one of the chocolate Christmas tree cakes

This is one of my favorite Orlando Jones movies also. He cracks me up! "God gave you two god damn hands for a reason!"

You ever wonder what some actors think about when they're filing. Like during a certain part, say when Orlando Jones walks behind David D shaking his hips all crazy. Like Orlando, my man, how did you not cry laughing every time?! Like I would be busting out! But I guess that's why you're the actor!

Insert fear factor candidate! Wearing open toe heels in a cave you know nothing about having flat worms just crawling around your toes. NO THANK YOU NADINE!

Side note, I don't think I would want to live around that much sand. I sure like grass, maybe not the bugs that come with it, but still. I really hate sand. Like almost Anakin in Star Wars level of hate of sand. Same thing he says, IT GETS EVERYWHERE, impossible to get rid of.

Oh Julianne, you're so goregous! And I love EVERYTHING you're in! 13 ghosts, love it. Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carrell, another great movie!

I can't tell you how long it took me to understand why David D was saying fruit basket to the general, like wow 0.0 and then I couldn't tell it was his ass on the windshield also for a sad amount of time. I'd like to point out I was 9 when the movie came out and was raised in a very Christian household so I was/still am oblivious to some sexual innuendos and such. But I sure as hell make enough jokes myself! LOL!

My favorite part is about to come up. Orlando is about to get a bug in his body and need to have it removed from his ass! "I'd like an ice cream please" -OJ, "Yeah, what flavor?" -JM, "It doesn't matter. It's for my ass" -OJ. As weird as it sounds, my husband quote that the most. It's also a favorite of his!

"There's ALWAYS TIME FOR LUBRICANT!"

Sean William Scott is great in this as well. Can't forget about him. Stifler, the man himself! He was in a movie with The Rock called The Run Down, also another family and hubby favorite lol!

Hope you can get the point now about what this blog is about, because this is pretty much what you're gonna get. I really am stoned and typing what I think while watching this movie.

Hubby is grinding me more bud, and I'm munching again, this time on some cookies.

This lady about to get bit! like basically lose a finger from this alien. I couldn't imagine. OUCH! "We don't have a damn dog." He is nothing close to a dog, like at all lady. Fucking buzzard tongue looking mother fucker. Then it just deflates. Like wtf

So, you think that just saying to a cop "he shouldn't have touched it," several times he would just let you in?

The alien is about to give birth now, UGH its like a big loogie! Its oxygen tolerant and heads straight to a mall. How do you lose a 20ft bird in a mall? Well we sure know how to get it back, ask Sean William Scott to sing You are so Beautiful. "Rub some funk on it."

"So what do you want light meat or dark?"

My favorite song from the movie, Play Some Funky Music by Wild Cherry. Now I'm not as strong with music as I am with Movies and actors. I just had to google that so sorry if it's wrong, it was The Google! It lied to me!

Enter Dan Aykroyd! Love him too! Ghostbusters, of course another favorite, though honestly I only like the first one and the remake with my favorite Melissa Macarthy! "What the Fuzzy No Nose Chimp?"

"Haven't you noticed how shiny and flake free our hair is?" Who would have thought the solution to this movie was Head and Shoulders. Like so far off the wall am I right? And then using a fire truck to hose it down with. Feel so bad for OJ having to get covered in it and getting sucked up into a butt. Like who else can say they did that in a movie?

And sure, who wouldn't want to fuck after getting farted on by a giant ass hole lol! I mean I get the endorphins burning and what not, but they were still covered in shampoo and probably guts. I would not want to get that in my vajay!

And this brings us to the end of our movie and review! Hope you've enjoyed my randomness!

Till next time

-RRR
