I have a two questions. I found something in the original Ghostbusters movie that I *think* is either a reference or an homage to "The Shining", and I would like either:
A:) to know if anyone here can confirm my suspicions.
OR
B.) If anyone here knows if Mr. Ivan Reitman answers fan mail and/or has an address I can send my question to.
Here is the question in short. Near the end of the movie there is a hallway shot where the Ghostbusters are entering Dana Barrett's apartment. In the foreground on the side of the hallway is a Big Wheel. Now, the simple fact is that NOTHING that is in a scene like that is going to be there on accident. Everything in that scene was chosen deliberately. I have a hard time believing that they would put a Big Wheel in the hotel hallway and it not be a nod to "The Shining". Can anyone confirm?
