Who ya gonna call?

Last night 7 of us went to the free movie at Brewvies. Believe it or not, Kate had somehow managed to go the 24 years of her life without ever seeing Ghostbusters. It was by far the most crowded we've ever seen Brewvies. I think Ghostbusters has a cult following. A guy sitting right in front of us knew all of the lines and spoke them along with the characters on screen. Seeing it with a slightly drunk crowd meant there was a little more shouting out at the screen. Kate commented afterwards that she hadn't known it was a comedy, she thought it was just a horror movie. It had all the best one-liners of the eighties. (The best ones though are not fit to be put on my blog.)

[clearing away tables in the dining room to make room for the ghost trap]
Dr Ray Stantz: I've gotta get this in the clear...!
Dr Ray Stantz: Wait, wait, wait! I've always wanted to do this...
[He yanks a tablecloth off of a table, overturning and shattering everything except the centerpiece in the middle]
Dr. Peter Venkman: [triumphantly] And the flowers are still standing!
