Ghostbusters

I like it very much, I enjoyed rewatching it after so long, it was really a pleasure. The green ghost is kind of ridiculous now, but in 1984 those were great special effects. The only scene I never liked was at the beginning, where we meet Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and see him acting like a jerk while doing an experiment with a poor guy and a pretty girl. Lame. Then we meet Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and he's adorable, so excited about everything, that house, the car, the job, the ghosts. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) completes the trio of scientists (if we can call Peter that) that get kicked out of the university where they were working, and decide to go on business by themselves, opening the only ghostbusters agency in town with the slogan "we're ready to believe you" :-) After seeing strange things inside her fridge, Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver)  sees their ad on television, and asks for their help. It'll turn out that there's a great evil planning to open on the roof of her building, and they're the only ones equipped to stop it :-) Of course :-) They have the weapons, and also an unlicensed nuclear accelerator where they stock captured ghosts, and of course a burocrat will go all superior on them and order to shut it down releasing all the ghosts, causing even more trouble :-)
They start working a lot, and all the papers' covers are for them "ghost fever grips New York" ! so they need help, and hire Winston, who when asked if he believes in ghosts and all that kind of stuff replies "if there's a steady paycheck I'll believe anything you say" :-) In a way, more than all the ghosts, the strangest thing is that they've become so famous, on every paper, going on television, and yet when they need to hire people only Winston asks for the job. With those credentials, there should be a queue outside!
There's Rick Moranis too, but I've never been too fond of him.
Things I like most: when they pretend to be exterminators because they promised to be 'totally discreet' to the hotel manager, and a man sees them and says "that's got to be some cockroach" and Peter :" it'll bite your head off" :-) then when they decide to "split up" : "yes, we can do more damage that way" :lol:
Facing the ghosts "he slimed me" :-) and then Peter asking "bad?" and Egon answering "imagine all life stopping and every molecule in your body exploding" "that's bad. Important safety tip"
After catching the ghost : "we came, saw and kicked its ass!" and I don't know why but I love the bit where they're describing the end of the world to the mayor, and Peter among all the other things, shouts "cats and dogs living together" and I've always found that so funny! :lmao:
I know it may seem ridiculous, but it's adorable the way it is.
