- danielrh9, on 11/02/2009, -3/+122Back off man, I'm a scientist.
- IphtashuFitz, on 11/02/2009, -1/+98Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
- cdw070, on 11/02/2009, -1/+83Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! - PowderedToasty, on 11/02/2009, -2/+82English mother ***** do you speak it??!!
- blackhawk465, on 11/02/2009, -0/+77That's a big Twinkie.
- dj88masterchief, on 11/02/2009, -1/+56Unless Ivan and all four Ghostbusters come back and the studio lets them do what they do, I would NOT green light a Ghostbusters 3
- Coven, on 11/02/2009, -1/+49Dr Ray Stantz: You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment.
Dr. Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
Dr. Peter Venkman: So do I.
Dr Ray Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. - saltmiser, on 11/02/2009, -0/+43I am the gatekeeper; a/s/l?
- saltmiser, on 11/02/2009, -1/+40If a supernatural being asks you if you're a god, you always say YES!!!
- Elranzer, on 11/02/2009, -1/+39Why the world doesn't need Ghostbusters 3:
- CGI ghosts
- Rick Moranis has retired from acting
- "New" Ghostbusters (trained by the old guys)
- The writers from The Office penning the script
- Hollywood can't make a decent sequel anymore - JinxCrow, on 11/02/2009, -1/+36So long as they don't do that "passing off to the next generation with a hapless unpopular teen relative looking to impress a chick at his high school" crap...
- duncan202, on 11/02/2009, -1/+35I have to admit, the sound the proton pack makes when they first switch it on in the elevator never gets old for me.
- drhead, on 11/02/2009, -0/+30Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park or the sole reasons I wanted to be a scientist.
- modad, on 11/02/2009, -1/+31Are you a god?
- NolanFinn, on 11/02/2009, -0/+28"ummm, no?"
- robweber, on 11/02/2009, -1/+24That's not the point. The author also points to 'Weird Science' and 'Back to the Future' for examples of science based movies. I think the point to the article is that in Ghostbusters the heroes used science to solve problems (even if the problem was catching a supernatural ghost) rather than pulling magic or some convoluted plot twists out of their asses to save the day.
"I suppose it's a bit too much to expect [an idiot] to know the difference between [symbolism] and [taking everything literally]." - robweber, on 11/02/2009, -0/+22Same here, only for me it was Ghostbusters and Back to the Future.
- appleseed1234, on 11/02/2009, -3/+24Unique Comment! Would bury again!
- SinisterSaracen, on 11/02/2009, -0/+20Ray, when someone asks you if you're a GOD, you say "YES"!
- Suricou, on 11/02/2009, -0/+20They also disabled commenting. Presumeably because otherwise advertisers would pull out after seeing pages full of people pointing out how bad their product is.
- stainboy, on 11/02/2009, -0/+19I AM THE KEYMASTER!!!!
- Balanced, on 11/02/2009, -3/+21Ghostbusters may have advocated science to some, but it's kind of weird as it came from Dan Akroyd, who buys into a lot of stuff that is pseudo-science at best.
- coachmcguirk, on 11/02/2009, -1/+19I'm here for the quotes..
- ToksterJokster, on 11/02/2009, -5/+22The Ghostbusters were a childhood favorite of mine!
- chuckDontSurf, on 11/02/2009, -0/+16"Dr. Robert Langdon wastes his degrees solving cases to help shore up fervent religious belief in the corrupt Catholic Church."
The only "degree" Langdon has is in something called "Symbology," a non-existent major at Harvard. - Equinamin, on 11/02/2009, -10/+25Ghost Buster's 3 AND Bill Nye the Science Guy' definite needed "chick flick"
bringing dat' sexy swagger' back into science. I would call them... : ) eh. - mrebay007, on 11/02/2009, -0/+14We used to roast Stay Puft marshmallows by the fire at camp Oconda.
- boozedrinker, on 11/02/2009, -0/+13Ivan has confirmed that he is back for it:
http://digg.com/movies/Ivan_Reitman_Is_Back_For_Gh ... - Fleagleman, on 11/02/2009, -1/+14Yeah, that's a beautiful theory. But what's the reality? Nostalgia is great, until we see it on the silver screen, and realize that we're not kids anymore, and the people who brought us these movies no longer have the magic. Did we need Transformers, Indiana Jones 4, Rocky Balboa, Star Wars I-III, Zombie's Halloween remake, new Friday the 13th, G.I. Joe, etc.?
Hollywood's goal is to destroy the memories of people in their 30s. - djstrat, on 11/02/2009, -1/+13I never heard of anyone asking for Citizen Kane 2
- appleseed1234, on 11/02/2009, -0/+11On a related note, I tried to bury the Paranormal Activity ad, but it seems they disabled the bury feature. Apparently user powered content is in danger too.
- pstroll, on 11/02/2009, -4/+15If they keep delaying the Ghostbusters will be ghosts.
Har Har - geodebug, on 11/02/2009, -1/+12Everybody quotes GB1, nobody quotes GB2. Isn't that reason enough to avoid GB3?
- realeskimopimp, on 11/02/2009, -2/+13LONG LIVE SCIENCE
- Suricou, on 11/02/2009, -0/+11And most of symbology in the books is inaccurate too.
- valetudomexican, on 11/03/2009, -0/+10We have to get these two together.
- 000dnj, on 11/02/2009, -0/+9What Ray? What just *popped in there*?
- mlvassallo, on 11/02/2009, -0/+8Ghostbusters is awesome, but this guy is taking it a tad too seriously.
- chuckDontSurf, on 11/02/2009, -0/+8Yes, I understand that; however, there is still no degree program at Harvard for Semiotics.
- coachmcguirk, on 11/02/2009, -0/+8I like digg better.
I could just watch the movie if I was going to go that route... Why don't I just do that?
That has all the quotes verbatim! - Pxtl, on 11/02/2009, -1/+9Not only does ghostbusters have nothing to do with science other than featuring scientists - the guy who actually gets the girl is quite obviously a harlequin who has nothing to do with the scientists he works with. Did the article author miss the part at the beginning where he was using electroshock experiments to pick up chicks and zap the guy who annoyed him?
Ghostbusters was awesome because it was farking awesome. Not because it was from some bygone age of rationalism. - Balanced, on 11/02/2009, -0/+8I think Hollywood's goal is to make money. Anything else is a distant second.
- SoUpTheEXTREME, on 11/03/2009, -0/+7Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?
- Scrappy1850, on 11/02/2009, -1/+8i dugg you up, then i noticed you said "beacon" not "bacon". dugg down.
- inactive, on 11/02/2009, -0/+7Exactly, Ghostbusters is the science we WISH was real, it is fantasy all the way through.
- aquapete, on 11/03/2009, -0/+7no wai!
- MaruLono, on 11/02/2009, -1/+8"In Mexico, you know what they call Twinkies? 'Los submarinos.' " -Tallahassee
- rocknog, on 11/02/2009, -0/+7Yes but Defuser, you've repeatedly proven yourself to be a scientifically inept clodhopper. I don't think your opinion counts for much here.
- DrCyclops, on 11/02/2009, -0/+7The awesomeness of Ghostbusters isn't their scientific rigor (or lack thereof). It is the suggestion that we can blast ancient gods with particle beams. This is similar to Doom, which presented the idea that you can solve theological problems with the liberal application of firearms.
