Yeah! Before Tropic Thunder, who you gonna call? Ghostbuster, of course! I watched until the VHS tape was all scratched when I was a little boy in London!

What was Stay Puft really?

Quoting from Wikipedia, " According to Sam Delaney of The Guardian, "Stay Puft's familiar mascot combined elements of real life brand ambassadors the Pillsbury Dough Boy and Bibendum (aka the Michelin tyre man)"

I can't remember Ghostbusters II that well, but I will be looking forward to Ghostbuster III (2012), which is reported to be in the process of scriptwriting, so Ghostbusters fans, we may just be lucky enough to see it in 3D one day! Or even 4D!!!
