April 3, 2009total classic, bill murray is hilarious in this original and fun movie. it was executed well and begged for a sequel. the nuances of the script were suprisingly well thought out and there was a seriousness fused into such a story that was so out there that could have been risky... ...( read more )

July 5, 2009I actually heard that this movie, originally, was to star John Belushi in the role of Dr. Peter Venkman and that it was Mr Belushi's untimely demise that caused them to put a halt to the film, to give them time to find a replacement for him in that role, where they then could resume preproduction, which occurs before filming. This was in an interview with Harold Ramis and he went into some detail about how the script itself had to be rewritten to fit the actor to replace him, which was Bill Murray. The script, based on how it had to be rewritten to fit Bill Murray, inevitably would have been quite different if John Belushi had succeeded in playing the role of Dr. Venkman makes me wonder what this movie would have been like.
I guess we will never know. -

March 29, 2007"I'm studying the effects of negative reinforcement on esp ability"
"The effect? I'll tell you what the effect is, it's pissing me off!"
"Well then maybe my theory is correct Mister!" -
January 6, 2007"If someone asks if you are a God.. You say yes!"
"So who wants to play Parcheesy? OK, who brought the Dog?"
"Mother-puss-bucket!"
"Yes, it's true... This man has no dick"
We Came. We saw. We kicked its ass!
And many more that currently escape me. -
