    Hardee’s Slimer Sundae (1989-1989): Vanilla soft-serve topped with a green, bubblegum-flavored sauce. This sundae was released as part of a massive promotion for "Ghostbusters II", and the sauce was meant to evoke the thick, viscous ectoplasm from the film

    All the films in the following list are PG-13, PG, or older and unrated, and I went light on sexual themes in the PG-13 part (except for Austin Powers, because... it's Austin Powers). This is just me quickly going through my own movie collection. PG-13: - Arachnophobia (1990) - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) - Big Trouble in Little China (1986) - Cabin Boy (1994) - Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) - Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) - Gremlins (1984) -…

    Harris Yulin - 📽️ Night Moves (Arthur Penn, 1975) RIP to a genuine character actor, stealing scenes while blending in throughout a variety of movies from Ghostbusters II to Multiplicity to Training Day. In this neo-noir he cucks Gene Hackman and, even early, summons his trademark world-weary gaze.

    35 years ago, Ocean was peddling this big-name movie game compilation. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. Robocop and Batman were both terrific, while Ghostbusters II and Indiana Jones provided great value for money for the price. A really fun and diverse selection of games!

    It's 1989, and the much-anticipated but sadly humdrum Ghostbusters II is in theatres. Activision's game-of-the-movie was also humdrum, but if you bought it from Boots, you could at least save 50p off the soundtrack. Which TBH was a franchise hat-trick in the humdrum department.😁

    #OTD in 1989, Ghostbusters II was released in theaters. Vigo was played by Wilhelm von Homburg onscreen. However, his lines were dubbed over by Max Von Sydow. Homburg didn’t realize this until he watched the film at the premiere, and he stormed out.

    Everybody on Ghostbusters II have long since admitted that movie only existed to cash in on the existence of the Ghostbusters cartoon, with Janine getting that weird makeover to make her look more like the cartoon and Slimer suddenly/inexplicably becoming the GB’s named pet in the sequel.

    35 years ago, Ghostbusters II was the big Xmas movie - and also a very big Xmas game, which Activision hyped with tons of ads like this. Most versions were fine, but not great. Still, if you bought a copy, you could save a full 50p off the official soundtrack. Where's me wallet?

    Watched Ghostbusters II last night and was once again struck by how little Kenner, kings of the movie tie-in toy line, did to cash in on it. Just the Ecto 1A and a roleplay version of the Slime Blower. I know the line was really for the cartoon but not even Vigo or mood slime-branded Ecto-Plazm?

    Do you like Bill Murray? I’ve been a big Ghostbusters fan, ever since the release of their 1989 movie Ghostbusters II. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Ghostbusters II where, uh, Bill Murray’s presence became more apparent.

They literally built their marketing around it, like we were strange beasts in a zoo, come see the females in their movie! marvel at them! marvel!!! It called itself revolutionary and simply…

    The thing I have always found hilarious and baffling about the backlash against the lady Ghostbusters movie is that they already made a Ghostbusters follow-up that followed "the ideology" of the original and even had the same cast and crew. It was called Ghostbusters II and it was super mid.

    I had a bike that I would ride on the side of the highway to get to town and spend the $8 I got for my allowance on some soda and whatever toy struck my fancy at the Eckerds. Sometimes my parents would let me rent a video game from the Blockbuster, which would always be Chrono Trigger. On Friday nights we would go to Pizza Hut and I would get a plastic cup that was a tie in to whatever kids movie was out at the time. Usually I'd have some Book-it stars to turn in to get my free personal pan…
