True. But Reitman then released Evolution this year, which was the alternative to Ghostbusters III and that just looks shit. Definetly have to say that movies made around the late 80s early 90s had that good thing going on. I mean even the first Teenage Mutant Turtles movie was a classic. Today it's all about money and commercialism than the quality of the movie.

Chris, first of all you talk shite, Evolution is nothin like Ghostbusters, it is more like MIB

second of all alot of Directors are in it for the enjoyment for making it, of course money is always an issue, but when is it never?

Evolution was made because Dan Akroyd (Working with Reitman) tried to sell Ghostbusters III to Columbia but they weren't for having it. Didn't think it would make enough money. So they changed the whole script to a different type of movie. Ghostbusters III was gonna be about Hell rising up and the Ghostbusters trying to save the world. Evolution is about Aliens coming down and a group of scientists and the like trying to sace the world. Sound familiar?

And the point I was trying to make was back then it was harder to make good movies, because technology and stuff wasn't as sophisticated as it is today. Film makers had to put much more effort into making the movie. Nowadays it's just like, "Oh we'll just stick some CGI here, a couple of explosions there..." Seriously, if you make the comparison between movies like Ghostbusters and any modern day blockbuster, you'll see the difference. Money was of course a factor for all directors, but now it seems to be the ONLY factor. That's all I was saying.

Under all the shite I talk there's usually a bit of an actual point.

Stay Puft Marshmellow Man
-- Ray's chosen form for Gozer.
-- Originally, the Stay-Puft marshmallow man was to rise up out of the river, right by the Statue of Liberty.
-- A large billboard appears on a building near the Ghostbusters firehouse. Featured on it is a picture of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and the words "Stay Puft Marshmallows - Stay Puft, Even When Toasted" - an advertising slogan from Dan Aykroyd's original script.
-- An early idea was to have the Marshmallow Man change into a third, large manifestation of Gozer, instead of dying.
-- The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man appears several times in the film because the filmmakers wanted to build a continuity of his presence. He can be glimpsed on a billboard and on a package of Stay-Puft marshmallows that Dana buys.
-- One group within the production crew wanted him to be 100 feet tall, and another wanted him to be 125 feet. Ivan Reitman settled the arguement by making him 112 1/2 feet tall. In the film, he's mentioned at being 100 feet tall.
-- The filmmakers were concerned that Stay-Puft would take the movie into an area of silliness that would just discount everything else. All through the writing process and production, they were trying to come up with an alternative, but they just kept coming back to Stay-Puft.
-- The filmmakers considered either ending or beginning the Ghostbusters commercial with a Stay-Puft spot - complete with a little stop motion Marshmallow Man dancing around the countertop like the Pillsbury doughboy. They disgarded the idea as being a bit of overkill.
-- In the original script, the Marshmallow Man was pretty much a throwaway - just another effect. But it was such a great image that it was decided to use it as the manifestation fo Gozer.
