- October 21st, 2008, 10:31 am#74428I can't say I fully agree with everybody here. I honestly don't see what would be so bad about just a few things, like an inflatable Stay Puft, or light up Slimer, or something cool like that.
I mean I'll grant you one thing, it certainly is a lot cooler when we have our Ghostbusters stuff and nobody else has it. It would seem a little less special if everybody had this stuff. Still, I'd rather see the franchise continue to succeed, and I'd rather be able to have cool stuff like that rather than nobody be able to have it at all.
As long as they didn't go absolutely crazy, I don't see what is wrong with it. For example, what is wrong with inflatable Shrek and Donkey in Halloween costumes (our Santa outfits for Christmas)? I actually find that kind of funny. I mean, I've seen things go too far with other franchises. I wouldn't want to see that happen with Ghostbusters. But, I wouldn't have a problem with just a few things. Companies have to obtain the rights anyway, so maybe Sony could just be more restrictive with what they allow.
With that said, I know it could get ruined, and that is exactly what I DON'T want. I was in a local Halloween store recently and they were playing one of those stupid kiddy CDs were a bunch of little kids sing the songs. I HATE those. When they started singing Ghostbusters, I almost wanted to vomit. LOL!
