Ditto, my philosophical friend!
My mom just adored Harold Ramis, and thought he was brilliantly cast as a doctor in As Good As It Gets, and Egon was her favorite GB, as she thought Harold also looked like a brilliant scientist.
But my God was she pissed when Harold Ramis didn't get a bigger role in Knocked Up, playing Seth Rogen's dad. As was I lol!
But I digress, sorry to ramble.
LOVED Afterlife!
My only complain was I wished there was an equal ration of Kid and adult story/character development. That, and I wished they would have explained why Phoebe was the way she was. Just being Egon's granddaugter wasn't enough, in my book, but I harbor no ill to Jason Reitman though.
However, one of my favorite parts was discovering how Dana got her Zuul dress in the original Ghostbusters, as I was puzzled why a classy woman like Dana would have such an exotic dress. But when we saw a possessed Callie just use magic to literally change her clothes and lose her footwear, it all made sense. Zuul created the dress herself, and made up her host's hair, makeup, and nail polish (as Dana's fingers and toes didn't have polish before, if you look real closely at her hands and feet and pause at the right moments.)
I always found it funny that Louis was still wearing the same clothes before Vince possessed him, and yet Dana is half naked and barefoot.
I'm by no means complaining, mind you 😉
Seeing the team back together, with the dear and departed Egon Spengler made me feel like a little boy again, and I just wished my Mom/cinema movie buddy, was with me to watch it......
Happy holidays, to you all!!!!!
