On June 7, 1984, my favorite movie had its premiere. (Figures that a movie about misfit geniuses and teamwork would be a Gemini, eh?)

Happy 25th Anniversary, Drs. Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler, Mr. Zeddemore, and Ms. Melnitz. I've enjoyed having you around for this much of my life, and I suspect my adolescence would have been very different without your influence. May you live, as characters may and mortals may not, until the end of human memory.

Thank you, Mr. Aykroyd, Mr. Ramis, and Mr. Reitman. I hope you are still as pleased with your work now as the day you gave it to the world. I've certainly enjoyed it.

Huh. Then I guess I know what I was doing 25 years ago tonight. Funny thing is, I didn't particularly want to go see it, but my friends insisted. I think we probably went back and watched it another four or five times.

How could you forget the REAL star of Ghostbusters: Slimer! ;D

Oh, could we please not mention the Spud? I am of the school that believes adding him to the cartoon as a regular character was a mistake, especially since he eventually stole the show, quite literally.

I understand why Ackroyd felt, now that Belushi was no longer available to play Venkman, that he needed to have the homage him in the film somewhere, but really, enough is enough.
