Have re-watched Ghostbusters for the first time in ages.

Had forgotten that the copy I watched until it wore out was taped off Channel 11.

Did not know that Egon even knew how to swear. Or that, when he lunged at Pencilneck Peck, he wasn't just frothing about having his scientific word impugned in the basement, but was in fact screaming "your MOTHER!" at the top of his lungs. Dude just became about a hundred times more human. Okay, have changed which Ghostbuster I want to be when I grow up. No offense, Peter. Egon just rocks more than you do, and in the movie is a good deal more attractive, too. Cartoon-wise, though, Peter's much cuter.

Also was not aware that Bill Murray yelled 'mother pus bucket' just before the church crushing... excuse me, I'm going to squee now, Rick Moranis just got led away by two very nice Red Cross volunteers. Sorry, organizational loyalty...

Ooh! And the synchronized Sign of the Cross brigade! And the Hassidim and the people selling Ghostbusters T-shirts next to the soldiers and... yes, I'm watching the closing credits and getting all squeeful over the details. Sue me. I've been in Manhattan when giant suspected-end-of-the-world disasters (okay, one disaster) happened. The city does respond like that.

Is the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man treyf? I mean, marshmallow's parve, isn't it? And it's not like Mister Stay-Puft has blood in him. So if he's exploded by extradimensional fire, is he... well, he'd have to be treyf now that I think about it. Forgot, he's the representative of a pagan deity. Rats.

I think your average marshmallow involves gelatin, making it emphatically non-kosher, though I seem to have memories of kosher marshmallows also existing.

So yeah, even without the pagan deity thing, it'd at the very least be up in the air.
