What I learned from Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters (1984)

1.  No human would ever stack books like that.  But a dead librarian just may...

2.  The magic word is "Please." It's the gateway to proper manners.

3.  There is a HUGE difference between Summarian Gods and Babylonian Gods.  But I'm still not sure what those differences are exactly.

4.  Peter Venkman is not the kind of guy you want to date.  He carries around 300cc of Thorazine for those "just in case moments."

5.  When someone asks you if you're a God, you say "YES!"  I really didn't think Winston needed to iterate this point...isn't that a given?

6.  Don't cross the streams.  Unless it's nearing the end of the movie...

Summary:
Great 80's blockbuster.  This remains one of my fondest memories as a kid.  Quotable, fun, and supernatural!

Introduction

Welcome!

If you've stumbled on to this blog, I hope you find what you are looking for!  To give you a sense of what this blog is all about, I'll tell you a little bit about myself.  As a former primary grade teacher, I know that knowledge can be delivered by all situations whether expected or not.  I'm also an avid movie watcher.  I started to wonder what important life-lessons could be derived from film?  What inner truths are bestowed upon the average movie watcher?  This blog attempts to analyze movies through humorous, ironic, and heart-felt observations that not only capture my enjoyment for what made that movie memorable and may in fact make me a better person. 

If you like movies, or just a clever sense of humor, I hope you'll enjoy this blog.  I enjoy a wide range of movies, and while I cannot guarantee that all the movies listed will be family/kid appropriate, the content and humor in this blog will be.  If you haven't seen the movie, there may be some spoilers included in each list.

I look forward and welcome your feedback in what you like and ways to improve the blog!  Enjoy!
