The developers of the upcoming Ghostbusters game thought about getting a new band to redo Ray Parker, Jr.’s theme song.
“We got booed out of the place,” Goss said. “People were really against it, going, ‘You can’t do that, there’s only one song for Ghostbusters!’ It was incredible. So we were like, okay, we won’t mess with the Ray Parker Jr. song then.”

Scenes from the lively, healthy debate in the Democratic party. From Wonkette:
Zilla is Toho Studios’s official name for the star of the 1998 TriStar Pictures film Godzilla.
Created from a French nuclear test, Zilla is a mutated iguana. Before Toho officially dubbed the creature Zilla, many fans, who did not care for the reimagining of Godzilla for the Centropolis film, developed several nicknames to differentiate its title character from the “original” Godzilla. These nicknames included American Godzilla, Fraudzilla, Deanzilla (because of writer/producer Dean Devlin), Trizilla (because of TriStar Pictures), and most popularly “GINO” or Gino, an acronym for Godzilla In Name Only.
“It’s an absolute disgrace,” [Iwo Jima veteran Donald] Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”
To someone who writes about movies for a living, this is horrifying news, akin to having spoken the English language for a lifetime without knowing the word “as” was available for use. So if you’d like, please retroactively insert a Harold And Maude reference into about half of the independent or pseudo-independent films I’ve written about for the past 10 years.
Scott Tobias finally gets around to seeing Harold & Maude.
