we must prepare for the coming of gozer

Before I could tell time, I remember begging my dad to wake me up from my nap in time to watch the Ghostbusters cartoon, which was my favorite show. Dad also had a double-VCR combo hooked up to the TV, and recorded both G-Buster movies onto a single tape, blatantly ignoring the FBI warnings because he loved his son so much, and would risk jail and up to a $120,000 fine to make him happy. I watched that tape ALL THE TIME, and I really thought the Ghostbusters were superheroes.

This is a long way of saying that I loved (and love) Ghostbusters. And after watching the Transformers, GI Joe, and even Alvin and the Chipmunks bastardized with new millennium remakes, I realized that somebody will eventually redo and ruin Ghostbusters. The worst part? I immediately checked Google, and yes, there is a Ghostbusters 3 in production. This makes me sad-panda sad.
