They came, they saw, they needed money: Columbia’s gonna call GHOSTBUSTERS

Hard on* the heels of the rampant success of Revenge of the Nerds V: Lamar Gets the AIDS and Police Academy 8: Hightower’s Interrogation Room Plunger Adventures, motion picture studio Columbia decided to dust off their Ghostbusters franchise and give it a fresh coat of paint. But lest you think this is some lame Michael Bay-ish remake with a bunch of 20something TV nobodies and Apatow-inspired dick jokes in place of actual humor, take heart: Columbia promises not just a sequel but a REUNION of the original proton-packers – Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and the Black Guy – at least one of whom has actually been funny in the last decade.

Another cause for optimism: Penning the screenplay will be Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (are they Irish?), Emmy-nominated co-executive producers of the actual funny TV show The Office. I’m gonna set aside my usual cynicism for this one. Ghostbusters was one of the funniest movies of its era and I admittedly have a nerdboy nostalgia boner for anything 80’s and Second City related, but Ghostbusters especially. In fact just the other day I dropped the “I am Zuul, minion of Gozer” line on the cashier in the Ralph’s express lane. She just looked at me like I was crazy. Although in retrospect her reaction could’ve been partially due to the fact that I was naked from the waist down and furiously masturbating when I said it – but come on. Ghostbusters was a huge box office hit, the reference wasn’t so obscure that she needed to have store security mace me.

I wonder, in keeping with tradition, if they’re going to have Ray Parker rip off any new Huey Lewis material for the theme song? Bump-da-da-bump da-da — that’s the power of Ghostbusters!

*Heh. I said hard-on.
