 Why Fox Family gave Real Ghostbusters da boot
 

The Forgotten Ghostbuster, Neil Vitale has this from the world of Gozer:

SILVERHAWKS (Mar 5, 2000) Sorry, no SilverHawks were on last night, but CN may start to show it on the March 18-19 Toonami Midnight Run. If it doesn't show up there, then expect it to be shown later this year unless CN changes their mind. One of the reasons why SilverHawks may have not been on over ThunderCats is that it takes alot of time and money to edit the show for today's current commerical lengths. This is why FOX Family Channel did not show the complete run of The Real Ghostbusters. CN must edit out 30 seconds to a minute of each episode. Also ThunderCats is more popular that SilverHawks. Hopefully they will air all 65 episodes and air the cool theme song! (offsite link)

 Custom figures a go go
  Many of you know that I'm a sucker for Ghostbusters custom figures, take a look at this one, a 12 inch version of Ray constructed by Joe the LA Ghostbuster. Way cool eh? Check out his website for more pics and stats on the figure! (offsite link)

 More on paranormal being hip and popular again
  Okay Sony, you saw the article in Movieline magazine that we posted here on the HQ right? How about the fact that an entire episode of the popular, critically acclaimed, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award winning Sopranos is running an episode based almost soley off the supernatual this week in which "ghostbuster" is mentioned several times. Sheesh, the writing's on the wall.

 Is anyone out there listening at Sony?
 

Check this out from the March issue of Movieline on page 30:

"Supernatural projects have to be just about the hottest thing going in Hollywood right now. (ed's note, gads do I need to say more, HELLO SONY!!!?!???) With the Blair Witch Project and the Sixth Sense having become box-office mega smashes and with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer soon to spook up the screen in Robert Zemeckis's What Lies Beneath, Hollywood is hot to make flicks in which things go bump in the night."

You know what Sony Pictures, if I have to make it any more clearer, I think I'd have to broadside you with a Mack Truck with it to get the point across. Thanks be to... hey, I found this one- heck credit to myself for once! ;)

 The PSX2 GB shiboinga...
  Yes, there is a Playstation 2 game out there that has a Ghostbusters selection in it called "Stepping Selection" (rough translation). It's basically like the MTV dance music game where you create mixes of various songs. Check out the screen shot here. US gamers, just wait this PSX2 thing is going to be big... the size of a Twinkie. (Thanks be to Nick for the scoop).

 Sony's Showbiz Pizza, er, scoop.
 

AMPGH brings the HQ this little tidbit of info:

****** HOLLYWOOD FREEZE FRAME ******

March 1, 1984:

The Box Office competition got slimed when, GHOSTBUSTERS
haunted theaters, giving ectoplasm the chilling respect it
deserves. Meanwhile, "I am the Gatekeeper...Are you the
Keymaster?" became the secret handshake phrase for anyone
walking the streets of Manhattan after 4 a.m.

So, yes Virginia, someone at Sony still cares about the Ghostbusters.

 Taking care of business...
 

Well, yes- I was in Washington DC for the Close Up Foundation last week (all last week) and Neil and Brandon were going to take care of the updates for me, but something went awry and alas, no updates. So, here to bring you up to speed on what happened over the week is GBHQ's main man Brandon:

INNER DEMONS (The GBHQ student film)
Greetings fellow Ghostheads. Dr.Stantz here. I'm here to bring you the latest updates on the production of Inner Demons. We are currently still working on the Special Effects Makeup and Creatures for the film. They're turning out nice and I know you will all be pleased.
We are also currently working on more locations for filming. So far, we have scouted out some pretty cool locations.

SPOOK CENTRAL (The Ghostbusters themed haunted house in CA)
We have currently begun working on the blueprints and construction possibilities for this years "Spook Central". At the entrance, visitors will enter the Ghostbusters Training Center. Here, you will learn all about different types of Ectoplasm, different classifications of ghosts, and tons of other hands on exhibits. And don't forget, you'll get to meet the guys.

 More USF antics!
  Tony, aka Cinsound sends in more wisecracks from the USF Ghostbusters crew: "Also last month at USF, the Ghostbusters visited the monster cafe to take PKE readings, and after finding one of the guests "possessed", proceeded to extract the "Ghost" from her brain in a hilarious fashion using an odd contraption they wheeled in. After the it was trapped, you could hear the "ghost" rattling around in the "portable containment unit". Actually, I saw them do something similar last year as a pre-show to Beetlejuice." Cool, eh? Egon, you genius you.

Cinescape responds to poll
 

GBHQ's main man Zuul over on the GB Message Boards posted this yesterday:

I emailed Cinescape about their poll. Here's what I wrote:Hey just look at
the results.

> Ghostbusters is winning. Not by much,
> but it shows that there is still a lot
> of interest in GB3. Even for the
> people who voted for the other movies,
> I bet the vast majority would also go
> see GB3. You guys need to send the
> message to Sony that they're fools for
> turning this down.
Then today, I got this response:
Most of the studios check our site daily. I'm sure the surprising
showing of Ghostbusters didn't go unnoticed.

 The new Ghostbusters show at USF
  The thing is, Universal Studios Florida still has "no comment" on a new Ghostbusters show, so this'll remain word of mouth, but GBHQ has got the full skinny on the new "traveling" Ghostbusters show at Universal Studios on the Spooktacular page

 More behind the scenes goodies
  Take a look at those? Look familiar with a cool twist? The crew is starting to send in some sketches and storyboards from scenes already shot and props already created. This is just one of many cool things in store for viewers of Ghostbusters: Inner Demons! Take a look!

 Now for something completely different
  Just out of curiosity, did anyone see that Batman commercial at the end of the Beach Boys movie last night? I have to say, that's the first time that I've been excited about Batman since Batman Returns. Now if a commercial director can make that cool of a Batman commercial, what does that say about the ability of Joel "I haven't done anything good since Falling Down" Schumacher to single-handedly destroy a film franchise? Anyhoo, off my soapbox. But I'd still like you guys' thoughts. Oh, and did anyone notice both Kurt Fuller (Jack Hardemeyer) and Kevin Dunn (World of the Psycic) in the show? It was a 1989 evening!

oFebruary 28, 2000 - 12:00:00am
 Fan art added
  Check out some of the cool fan art added today in the Museum of Fine Art!

 New busters show graces the Studios
  GBHQ's main man Brandon has heard that a new "traveling show" featuring the Ghostbusters and Slimer (minus Beetlejuice) is now touring Universal Studios Florida. Congrats to the guys for making it out on their own again, we're in the process of getting pictures and descriptions of their adventures!

 The promise of something cool in the future...
  I'm not going to say anything about it because it'll ruin everything, but run over to the Ghostbusters 2120 area on the HQ for a sneak peak at something really cool on the horizon.

 It's gotta be the jumpsuits
  Hot off the release of their teaser trailer which shows that they mean business (and made a statement surrounding the Blair Witch, Smare Witch) the Inner Demons crew sends in more behind the scenes photos from the production of the actual film (which will have NOTHING to do with Blair Witch) including some cool photos of the wardrobe and a pic of Ray and Peter in full gear ready to bust some head.

 It's here...
  The talent behind Ghostbusters: Inner Demons are proud to present the "trailer" to their film (though the trailer has nothing to do with the plot of the film, it does make a statement). Better head over there now, and if you don't have QuickTime, better make a slight detour to download the latest version.

 Ghostbusters theme redux
  Many people have been asking about the theme song that I used for the beginning of the Interdimensional Crossrip video series. It's the first track from the album "Peep" by Finnish group Rasmus. Well, it's available on CD (no, I won't post an MP3 in respect to the aspiring young authors without their permission) but you can import it here through Amazon (offsite link)-

  It's almost odd- there has been next to nothing to report to you guys, in the meantime violence strikes right next door in Littleton. To quote Venkman getting up from the couch, "What the hell?"
