Im a 30 yr old married father of two wonderful little girls. I became aware of Ghostbusters in 1986 at 3 years old with the cartoon and vhs of the first film and have never outgrown the fun of the franchise, though as an adult i appreciate the subtlety and innuendo of the humor that i missed as a kid because, well, I was a kid. I collect Ghostbusters merchandise and would one day like an exact replica of the Ecto-1 though my tolerant and long suffering wife isnt comfortable taking the fandom that far. I dress as Ray Stantz, my favorite character, for Halloween with my on the cheap, inaccurate, $70 homemade proton pack (The kids love it.). The first movie I ever saw in a movie theatre was Ghostbusters 2 in 1989 and Ghostbusters 2 merchandise has a special place in my heart and collection.

Started a forum topic: Sony head of Product Marketing George Leon steps down
Interesting because he’s been in charge of the marketing tie ins and general promotion of gb16, and it seems to be an abrupt severing of ties. Any thoughts? What’s it mean for the summer marketing and promotion campaign. Did Leon get pushed into leaving because of the trailer?
