Warnings: Losing a stuffed animal (not really), minor melt down, involuntary slipping (I think)
Long nights were nobody’s favorites. Neither were open houses, but for some godforsaken reason it was almost 9:00 and you were still at the firehouse with a crowd of tourists. Your watch ticked at you from your wrist, making you look down and frown. You teetered from one foot to the other to stay comfortable. The other Ghostbusters were shuffling about tiredly to greet everyone politely (except Venkman, he was greeting them with a practiced rudeness.), and you made eye contact with Egon from across the room. The pained smile you shared said more than words ever could have. You reached into your coat pocket absentmindedly, feeling around for the soft fluff you knew should be there.
It was empty.
Your face must have done something very odd, judging by the way Egon frowned in concern. You began patting yourself down, reaching into every pocket and looking around on the floor until you were 1000% sure it wasn’t there. You could see the memory in your mind of you slipping the little thing into your pocket, seeing the brown fluff, feeling the fluffiness to calm you down, but it was just not there.
You hadn’t even realized you were slipping until Egon came up behind you and put his hand on your shoulder. “Is everything alright?” He asked. You shook your head, your lip trembling. Egon nodded and held out his hand. You took it and stared at the ground as he led you away from the crowd. (You didn’t see it, but he motioned to Ray to make sure no one would come barging into the lab and bother you). He pulled the door open and ushered you inside. The lab was quiet and clean, a familiar environment that made it a little easier to think. You crossed your arms over your chest and sniffled. Egon stooped down a bit, looking over your face in worry before gently wrapping an arm around you and guiding you to a stool. You leaned on him as your eyes began to water and suddenly you realized that you had fully slipped into your regression. You reached into your pocket again for your stuffy before you remembered– it wasn’t there.
Then the tears really started to fall.
Egon pulled up a chair beside you and held onto your hand, rubbing his thumb back and forth comfortingly as you cried. He knew that if he tried to push for an answer before you were ready it would just make it worse. He waited patiently until the crying turned to sniffles before using his handkerchief to carefully dry your eyes. He patted your cheek gently and pulled his hand away. “Are you ready to talk?” He asked gently. You paused before nodding.
Sadly, you showed him the empty pocket, the one that you always kept your stuffy in. Egon frowned, squinting at the empty pocket in confusion before making a noise of understanding. “Your, uh, little friend?” You nodded, trying not to let your lip quiver. Egon pursed his lips, trying very hard not to let out a little chuckle. “Sweetheart,” he said, “they’re in the washer, remember? They got slimed last time we went on a call.” Your mouth fell open as the memory came back to you. “You know, they’re probably about done, if you’d like to–” The words had barely left Egon’s mouth before you were off, bolting towards the back dryer.
You threw the door open and pulled out your little friend, who was delightfully warm from they’re time getting clean as you hugged them tight. Their fur was extra soft and fluffy against your face as you nuzzled them happily. Egon grinned, watching fondly as you spun around and happily babbled.
You giggled and ran over, beaming up at Egon as you squished your little friend tight.
He ruffled your hair gently and took your hand, guiding you over to the area he had sectioned off just for the littles, a little play area in the corner of the lab away from all the chemicals and machines.
“Hey, I’ve got an idea.” Egon started as you plopped down on the carpet. You hummed and motioned for him to go on. “We could just stay here for a bit? They don’t need us at the party and neither of us were enjoying it, so logically we should just…” “Stay?” You supplied. Egon smiled and nodded. You frowned thoughtfully.
“Wha’ about Pete? He’d get mad.” Egon raised an eyebrow. “If he does, I can take care of it.” You scrunched your face thoughtfully. “Pomise?” You asked quietly. Egon glanced around before holding out his pinky. “Pinky promise. Can’t get anymore serious than that.” You giggled and hooked your pinkies. “Okay, stay!" Egon smiled back and pushed you gently towards the toy box.
“Well then, what first?”

Fashion Friday: Ghostbusters Afterlife
I know what you’re thinking. What does Ghostbusters have to do with fashion!? Well to be honest not much. But I felt like I should start here since I just saw the new movie, Ghostbusters Afterlife. I know it’s been out for almost a year, but I’ve been waiting for it to come out on Blu Ray since the only way you can stream it is to buy the movie. So I might as well have the actual physical media if I had to buy it anyway.
With that said, the movie was well worth the wait. In more ways than one. This movie is a sequel to the original 1984 movie (and technically it’s 1989 sequel but more the 84 film). And it is a fantastic sequel. You see I’m not a huge Ghostbusters fan. But I did grow up watching the Real Ghostbusters cartoon and I watch the movies every year around Halloween. Admittedly this movie is not as funny as the original, but it is more emotionally satisfying. Director Jason Reitman infuses his love of character study with his father’s original vision. From here on be spoilers. Fair warning.
This movie is about Egon and his family. Specifically it’s about unfinished business. That’s why people believe in ghost stories to begin with. Some people die before they resolve issues with family or friends or leave behind work that must be finished. Egon dies in the first five minutes of the movie leaving unfinished business with all aspects of his life.
Having discovered Gozer might return, Egon leaves New York with most of the Ghostbuster gear because his fellow Ghostbusters don’t believe him. Hence their falling out. Egon apparently even left behind a wife or girlfriend (that we never meet) that gives birth to a daughter named Callie. She grows up to be a resentful cynic who thinks Egon never cared about her. One loser ex husband and two kids later she’s a single mom that just got evicted and inherits her Dad’s dirt farm in Oklahoma. And his debt. So the farm isn’t even worth anything.
What I love about the movie is we discover who Egon really was through his granddaughter Phoebe, who is basically his mini me. His ghosts starts to make himself known to her and she in turns discovers his lab and his old gear and the movie slowly unfolds the story as a supernatural mystery straight out of the eighties. The original movies we only really got to know Peter. So the focus on Egon is a nice change of pace.
The ending is especially perfect. The other Ghostbusters return to help fight Gozer but they’re a little rusty. Yet our pint size hero Phoebe tries to take on Gozer herself but the god is almost too much for her. Which is when Egon takes corporal form and steady’s Phoebe’s hand, helping her.
The CG they did to bring Harold Ramos back on screen is flawless. And tasteful. Egon never says a word. There’s even a shot of the Original Ghostbusters all lined up again in one shot. And when Gozer is defeated, the Ghostbusters get their chance to say goodbye to their friend. Something I’m sure was cathartic to the actors. Then they have Egon meet his grandkids and then hug his daughter. Before fading away into stardust and a simple dedication. For Harold. That’s the end of the movie. And even a casual Ghostbusters fan like me is teary eyed by that point. I’m tearing up now as I write this.
Ghostbusters has been a pop culture icon for nearly forty years. Literally as long as I have been alive. There are fans so dedicated to this fandom they form their own Ghostbuster crews in their respective cities. Fashion is a reflection of our culture. A time capsule. Movies are too. So I’m thinking of designing my own Ghostbusters shirt. Also I want to recreate the Gatekeeper dresses from both the 84 film and Afterlife
I also have this idea to make a jacket inspired by Gozer in Afterlife. That costume was a major upgrade. The original was basically a flesh and white bodysuit with faux bubbles on the shoulders and torso.
The new costume looks like an exoskeleton with spikes on the shoulders and they enhanced it with CG to have Gozer actually light up.
I’ll post designs next week. Hopefully that won’t be my unfinished business. Because that’s why I’m starting this series. To finish a dream I’ve started. To leave behind a legacy. To capture my own moment of time. When I became a Ghostbusters fan.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife review (minor spoilers)
My birthday is on Valentine's Day, and, as I do every year, I began pointing out some things my parents could get me, and being an avid Ghostbusters fanboy, I asked for the newly released Ghostbusters: Afterlife. A few days ago, as an early birthday present, my parents got it due to the whole family wanting to see it.
After watching it for the first time on Saturday, I'm super hyped still, and I want to talk about it, so review time.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife follows the estranged family of Egon Spengler, mainly his grandchildren Phoebe and Trevor, played by McKenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard respectively, as they try to solve the mysterious happenings around the small town they find themselves living in after Egon died suddenly. With the help of Podcast, Phoebe's mystery obsessed summer school classmate, and Lucky, Trevor's diner coworker and friend, they must save the world from the coming of Gozer with some of Egon's reworked Ghostbusting gadgets.
The characters are well written and interesting: Phoebe is an autistic mechanical engineer who does not connect with her mother easily and is awkward around everyone, Trevor is your typical angsty teenager who has some knowledge in car mechanics and is awkward around girls, Podcast is an oddball who has a podcast about the mysteries of the world and the occasional restaurant review, and Lucky is your carefree small-town teenager who helps the Spenglers retrieve their ghost gear from the police station. Phoebe and Trevor's mother, Callie, is your typical burnt-out single mother, tired of Phoebe's constant tampering with electronics in the house and Trevor's don't care attitude, and reluctantly moves the whole family into her father's old farmhouse when money becomes tight. Mr. Grooberson, Phoebe's summer school teacher, is a goofy/easily excited seismologist and Ghostbusters mega fan who helped her figure out just what was going on with her grandfather and his disappearance.
The soundtrack of the film is magical; all they do is keep the original soundtrack but update it a bit more for the most exciting parts, which is a fantastic way to go about this, it keeps the tone of the original film, but with a couple modern twists that don't ruin the original.
The effects are wonderfully done, a combination of practical and CG works fantastically for the Ghostbuster's universe, the effects of the traps and packs are a perfect update of the original and the sound design is spot on. The voices of the Terror dogs and Gozer are a bit off compared to the original but doesn't take away from the scenes. Gozer itself is actually pretty amazing; CGI gives Gozer a creepier look with updated spikes and fibrous body, along with an updated look to its face. The Terror dogs are also more updated, being a combination of CGI and physical, practical effects, looking just about identical to the originals.
The gear is amazing, the Proton Packs look fantastic, and I'm assuming they took a few details from the experimental pack from the video game as we get a closeup of the upgraded pack when Phoebe is testing it. The traps are accurately built even if they look weathered and well used, and the old Ecto-goggles are really well made, though the camera built into it is new to me, so either it was never used in any media or Egon made it to archive his progress without an actual camera getting in the way. The Ecto-1 is a beautiful car, and the weathered broken look is made all the better knowing it was the original Ecto-1A from Ghostbusters 2 that was just sitting in storage for the last thirty years, so the damage isn't faked. The Ecto's gear has a cool design, looking like a combination of experimental tech and eighties future, and the remote-controlled trap is actually a really good idea, especially since we know from the game that air bound ghosts are a thing. Combined with the gunner's seat, a feature that I don't think I've seen since the cartoon, is an interesting tool for the Ecto, and is actually really cool; rather than chase a ghost for who knows how long until it stops, the Ghostbusters can try and trap the ghost on the road.
The set design is well thought through as well; Egons house really shows that it was owned by a guy who cared more about his work than keeping his house in good condition, the paint is peeling off, the barn is in the midst of collapsing, and the bedrooms are weathered and yellow from age. The lab has amazing attention to detail, with Egons diplomas, his designs, old computers, and even his mold and spore collection scattered about the area; Egons penchant for snack foods is shown as well, with an old Crunch wrapper in the pocket of Egon's jumpsuit and a Twinkie in the glove box of the Ecto-1 that has most likely been there for the last thirty years.
The action is well done, the first hunt of the movie kept me on the edge of my seat, beautifully combining a ghost hunt and a car chase that goes through the town, utilizing the gunner's seat and the remote trap. The final battle is also extremely well done, with another short car chase and an interesting battle with Gozer.
The actors are also well cast; McKenna Grace plays the awkward autistic really well, and believably portrays an engineering prodigy. Finn Wolfhard is a great actor and has great chemistry with Grace, making the portrayal of the sibling duo very believable. Logan Kim plays Podcast wonderfully, bringing a young boy in wonder of the world's oddities to the unlikely crew. And as always, Paul Rudd is amazing in just about anything.
Knowing Jason Reitman, the son of original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, co-wrote and directed this film makes the love letter to the franchise all the sweeter; yes, there is a lot of fanservice to the film, but that makes it better since it is a legacy film, it needs to reference the two that came before it, so the new characters understand what happened before and why it's important.
One bit that nearly made me cry was at the end; the camera pans up to the starry sky as "For Harold" fades into view. Harold Ramis wanted to produce a third Ghostbusters film for years, but neither the actors nor the producers ever wanted to get on board; but, in 2005, Ramis and Dan Aykroyd co-wrote the famous Ghostbusters video game that so many consider to be the honorary third film. Knowing that Ghostbusters: Afterlife wasn't written in memory of Harold Ramis, but for him, so that the franchise could have the proper conclusion that he wanted for it, makes this film all the better.
The film isn't perfect; there are many things that could be written better, or the effects could be a bit more polished, there are even a few parts that could have been explored more. But as the ending to a forty-year franchise, it does it well. And, while I know the story has been told, the big bad defeated, and Egon's life lived well, I can't help but wonder if Rietman is going to make another because of the fans, or if he'll leave it be as the proper ending to a franchise that started as a joke concept.

My thoughts on Ghostbusters: Afterlife, spoilers below...
Wow, this movie actually has pacing, atmosphere, tension, cinematography, and characters that don’t babble endlessly all over each other? Ghostbusters 2016 set the bar very low and this film cleared it!
All jokes aside, I came into this movie with low expectations and for the most part they were exceeded. I knew Afterlife wasn’t going to be going for a rapid-fire comedy thing, but I accepted that because you can’t match the humor of the original so you might as well do something else, although I did worry the movie would go too far in the opposite direction and wallow in misery instead, but thankfully it didn’t do that either.
The parts where Phoebe was realizing that Egon’s spirit was in the house, played chess with him, and discovered the equipment which were done with very little dialogue were ingenious ideas and executed creatively, and I wish that was all Egon’s presence was going to be, but that brings me to my two main problems, which were:
1. I don’t care for using CG to bring back long-dead people, it’s one thing to do it to finish movies in production when people die, and this movie is not the case. The CG Harold Ramis didn’t look like how he actually did when he got older as if they didn’t want to acknowledge that he gained weight. If they wanted to have the character interact with the other Ghostbusters they should have done the more subtle ways he communicated with Phoebe.
2. The fuckin Ivo Shandor and Gozer thing AGAIN. While it was clever that they mentioned that the mine was where the selenite for the New York building came from but they should’ve done something original.
Oh well. It’s still better than that Rowan guy from 2016, at least they did some new stuff with Gozer this time with how the characters dealt with them. No repeat of “choose the form of your destructor” again.
Otherwise the fan service wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Slimer wasn’t in the movie at all and the other Ghostbusters and other cast members didn’t hog up a lot of screentime which lets the new characters have room to breathe.
All in all, it’s not a movie that will have a lot of rewatch value for me, but I’m glad I saw it and I thought it was about as good as a reboot/sequel movie like this can be.

Twenty Seven: If there will be a sequel to Afterlife, what would you want to see?
-ecto :0!!
Ty for the questions king!!
24: Definitely cheez-it’s. Marshmallows and twinkies are too sweet for me I can’t handle more than one bite ;-;
25: Janine <3 we love a bad bitch.
26: Sequel!! It looks so much cooler.
*afterlife spoilers*
27: Ok I know since Egon like “crossed over” or whatever they were implying at the end of the movie that we’re probably not gonna get cgi ghost Egon anymore but,,,,, I want so bad for him to interact with the original busters and his family more. I mean he’s cg and he doesn’t talk so why couldn’t they? I guess it’d be, for a lack of a better word, overkill. But that’s what I want :>

Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Jason Reitman Finally Addresses the Biggest Spoilers in the Movie
https://ift.tt/3oU7WnU
This article contains Ghostbusters: Afterlife spoilers.
According to Jason Reitman, he never wanted to make a Ghostbusters movie. But while most folks likely don’t stress over such things, most folks are also not the son of Ivan Reitman, director of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. And so the conversation of whether he’d ever make a Ghostbusters movie came up at one time or another throughout Jason’s professional life. He heard the question after he found early success in films like Thank You for Smoking (2005), Juno (2007), and Up in the Air (2009), and he heard it again in recent years. So it must have been the funniest thing when one day, the Oscar nominated filmmaker finally realized he did have a story to tell…
A few days after the film’s impressive opening weekend, it seems plenty of people were eager to hear it too. Blowing past all industry projections, Ghostbusters: Afterlife has very much injected new lifeblood into the nearly 40-year-old franchise, and introduced a whole new generation to the concept with a young cast of Ghostbusters which includes Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhoard, Logan Kim, and Celeste O’Connor. And yet, if you’ve seen the finished film (which we really hope you have if you’re reading this), then it’s the ending and all the little surprises which harken back to 1984 that has dominated the conversation: the three surviving Ghostbusters played by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson returning for an encore; a post-credits scene that brings back Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett; and even the inclusion of a CG-recreation of the late Harold Ramis as a ghostly Egon Spengler.
We discuss all o those elements in the below spoiler-filled interview, as well as why Reitman made the choices he did…
You’ve talked about the first images you had in your head for this movie were of a little girl using a proton pack and a teenage boy driving Ecto-1. When did you realize their stories still needed to end with the original Ghostbusters returning on-screen?
Jason Reitman: I started talking to my writing partner Gill Kenan frequently about these ideas not knowing quite what to do with them. I’ve always been intimidated by the idea of making a Ghostbusters film. The shadow of my father, the shadow of that franchise loomed large—and [the franchise] was always a place I kind of avoided. But this is a story I felt the urge to tell, and when we started breaking down how it might work, very early on did I think it would be wonderful [if this was] a film where we handed audiences back the PKE Meter, the trap, the car, the pack, and eventually the guys.
It would feel like Christmas morning as you opened a gift after a gift, and found yourself back in the film that you loved.
Was there a version of this script where the guys didn’t come back or was that always the impetus?
I would not have been interested in making this film if it did not have the original Ghostbusters.
What were the discussions like with the original actors about suiting up once more?
You know, we didn’t really talk about it. They put the suits back on and they felt very at home in them. They felt so comfortable. I remember Bill saying that ‘you put it on and you just immediately feel like a superhero.’ Which is interesting, because I’ve always thought of Ghostbusters as—not all of us are born looking like Thor, you know Not all of us are born with superpowers, but we can all put on the flightsuit, and I thought that was what was magical about the Ghostbusters.
You’ve talked in the past about growing up on the set of the first movie. What was it like for you now seeing them again in those costumes but now as an adult?
It’s funny because when I was on-set with like McKenna [Grace] and Finn [Wolfhard], I always thought I was making my Ghostbusters film. But as soon as I was on the set with Bill, Ernie, and Dan, I felt like I was a kid again on my Dad’s set.
Dan is always such a well-spring of ideas when it comes to everything Ghostbusters. Did he have any input or ideas he pitched to you?
It was more about language. What I love about talking to Dan Aykroyd is the moment he starts talking, you feel like you’re in the verbiage of Ghostbusters. He has a way that only he speaks. He has read everything, he obviously has deep roots in science fiction and ghost folklore, and when he talks about it, he talks about in just a way that no one else talks. And you immediately just want to scribble everything down and put it in the movie.
Did you put anything he suggested in this movie?
Oh yeah, particularly the dialogue for his character. When he’s talking to Phoebe on the phone and he starts talking about the fuel isotopes and things like that, this is just stuff that only Dan can come up with.
I thought it was a nice touch that you had Winston—who was the hired gun in the first film—become the most successful one while Ray is still working the Occult bookshop. How did you come up with those trajectories for these characters?
I guess we always imagined Dan, Ray Stantz, following his passion, and his passion is the occult, as opposed to Winston who always had a business mind. He came in looking for a steady paycheck, and we imagined him being a huge thriving success. If there was a way we wanted to see him moving forward, it was as more of a Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark type.
Was there any debate amongst yourselves about how much to show a spectral recreation of Egon?
I’m not really going to talk about that yet. I understand the urge to talk about it. I’m not sure I even feel comfortable talking about that yet. I will say that I knew what the ending of the movie was very early. I knew it was going to be very hard to pull off. And I knew that the success of the film depended on one moment that was going to have to depend on technology that was on the bleeding edge. And frankly, it took us the entire length of the making of the movie to accomplish. And I didn’t know whether it was going to be a success until the very end of the process.
What was it like on the day for Ivan or the cast filming that sequence?
… If you were on set that day, you would have seen four very talented actors working together. [Laughs]
To pivot to the end credits sequences, it was great seeing Bill and Sigourney on-screen again. How much of that was improv with Bill?
We had a script for that scene. Apparently the script was unnecessary. [Laughs] … That took half a day. Bill came into the movie with his own ideas, and they were brilliant. And I had grown up hearing the stories of Bill improvising, watching him do it live on-set. It was a thrill to watch him in real-time deliver dialogue that was far superior to anything I could’ve come up with in the couple of years of writing this movie.
His brain crackles in a different way, and his voice is authentically his and has been so since we first met him. So to hear Venkman come to life in his voice again thrilled the crew, thrilled me, thrilled my Dad, and it made me want to get to editing a quickly as possible.
I imagine the problem in that situation is picking which line to keep in.
A hundred percent. On every line of Bill’s, there was an alternate that was just as good.
You’ve said this movie is setting the table for potentially all varieties of Ghostbusters stories. Did you talk with Dan or Ernie or Bill about there being room to lead one of those stories?
No, I just spoke about the idea of there being more and my desire to see more Ghostbusters movies. Every culture has its own relationship with ghosts and I want to see those movies from some of my favorite filmmakers. And [the original cast] are all incredibly proud of this thing they created that lives in the hearts of others. And they seem just as excited as I am about it.

The Ghostbusters Sequels You Never Saw
By Don Kaye
Movies
Ghostbusters: Afterlife Easter Eggs and References Guide
By David Crow
Could you name some filmmakers who would make an amazing Ghostbusters movie?
I mean, there are far more talented directors than me. I’m not trying to be humble here. There’s just brilliant filmmakers out there, particularly ones who made and are making big tentpole movies, but also ones I admire from the indie world, and I’d love to see them all working in this genre.
You look at Marvel and how they’ve assembled this incredible roster of directors to tell their own kinds of personal stories in that universe. I can only imagine the kind of films we could have within the Ghostbusters mythology if those kind of filmmakers came to Sony.
We’ve seen the startup movie, we’ve seen it as a family. Do you think there’s room for Ghostbusters Inc. as a business model?
What I’ll say is the great thrill for me about Marvel is watching Taika make a movie; it’s watching James Gunn make a movie; it’s watching these filmmakers I already admire coming in and telling their version of a Marvel film. I want to see those same filmmakers come in and make Ghostbusters movies.
I want to ask then about your Ghostbusters movie. I think the best elements here are how great Mckenna is, how great the whole younger cast is. Do you have any interest in seeing them on their own adventure away from the first film’s legacy?
Oh my God, I’d love to. I think Finn and Mckenna are already two of the bright stars of their generation, and I think Logan [Kim] and Celeste [O’Connor] will soon join them. They have so much talent, they love these characters, they love Ghostbusters, and they love each other. And that’s kind of obvious, you can tell when actors really dig each other. You’re watching a movie and you go, ‘I think they get along.’ And you can tell with this group that they’re really tight. I would love to watch them continue ghostbusting.

HELLOW!! I saw that you write for ghostbusters :0 could I please request cg!Egon Spengler and little reader headcanons :D tank you!!
Y E S Egon is so awesome he's one of my biggest comfort characters!!!
CG!Egon Spengler and Little!Reader Headcannons
Egon found out about your regression during a long night in the lab
You had been studying some kind of ectoplasm since that afternoon, and you were getting into the next morning when you had begun to rub your eyes and yawn
Egon watched curiously as you shook head, trying to stay awake and not slip
You realized you were fighting a losing battle too late.
Soon you were swaying on your stool, fighting to stay up right but failing as your eyes fluttered shut and you made little tired noises
Egon (having had some experience with Ray regressing) realized what was happening and rushed to your side, steadying you and putting his lab coat around your shoulders
"Let's get you to bed, dear"
You protest halfheartedly, but (in a display of strength you didn't know he had) Egon lifted you up and took you to your bed, tucking you in and making sure you were asleep before getting back to work.
After that night, there was a certain understanding between you, and Egon became your CG :3
Misc. Headcannons
While Egon might not be great at showing affection in public, he's still very loving
He shows his affection through little things: touches on the shoulder, words of praise, things like that
He's very good at helping you regulate if you get too stressed, sad, or angry
Really he's just good at helping you regulate period
He always keeps little sensory toys in his pockets (for both himself and you) and he's caught you trying to steal them more than once (even though he would give if you would ask)
The two of you parallel play a lot
Usually when Egon is working on an experiment and you're little
Or just after a long day when you need some time to unwind
You also end up watching comfort shows and movies together most of the times you're both in his apartment
Egon always makes sure to stock up on your favorite meals and snacks in case you come over
Taking care of you is also really helpful to him
It helps him unwind and destress
He especially enjoys bedtime, and will read you lots of stories until you eventually doze off
His voice is very soothing, so it usually doesn't take long for you to konk out, but he sticks around after anyways in case you wake up
Ending it there, I hope you enjoyed!! Egon is one of my favorite characters, so thank you very much for the request :33

Inspirations 2019
Austin Kleon
Un écrivain qui dessine et partage énormément de conseils de créativité sur son blog (https://austinkleon.com/). (déjà tenir un blog en 2019 c'est admirable en soi). Chaque voyage sur son blog apporte des tonnes d'idées de trucs cools à faire et d'astuces pour mieux créer.
Grâce à lui je commence cette année un carnet de la vie. C’est aussi chez lui que j’ai trouvé l’idée de colorier en noir des pages de livre.
Photo
Je me suis mis sérieusement à la photo cette année, j'ai compris beaucoup de choses techniques, au moins assez pour que ça ne soit plus une contrainte. C'est clairement le truc le plus cool que j'ai appris cette année. (mes photos ici)
Pour ça je ne remercierai jamais assez @medvedovitch, qui m’a donné l’envie et changé la vie. Checkez son instagramme https://www.instagram.com/lesyeuxdigor/
Les photos de David Lynch m’ont donné envie de faire de la photo, en particulier sa série Nudes où les corps deviennent abstraits grâce aux ombres, au cadrage serré et au focus.
En photo je cite aussi @seantuck
Un photographe avec une chaine Youtube sans le bullshit habituel des youtubeurs, avec beaucoup de réflexions de fond pour trouver sa voix et creuser sa pratique personnelle de la photo (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_43mQmHwHPTBBqImFrWU3Q). Aussi un style de photo que j'aime beaucoup.
https://www.instagram.com/seantuck
Pour finir sur la photo, @flakphoto est un super curateur de photos, en particulier en story IG https://www.instagram.com/flakphoto/
Collage
En milieu d'année j'ai commencé à beaucoup m'intéresser au collage.
Une première inspiration c’est Kensuke Koike, qui fait des collages en utilisant une seule photo, sans rien enlever et sans rien rajouter. https://www.instagram.com/kensukekoike/ et https://www.instagram.com/single_image_processing/
Pour des collages plus classiques je regarde beaucoup The Daily Splice https://www.instagram.com/the.daily.splice/
J'ai recensé les procédés intéressants parmi les collages que j'ai étudiés dans cet article : https://confituredemurs.tumblr.com/post/187147984044/collage-taxonomy
Je publierai bientôt sur Insta un série de collages.
Cinéma
Ce cours de cinématographie a radicalement changé ma façon de voir les images
https://chrisbrejon.com/cg-cinematography/
Il y a des parties très techniques et pas forcément utile si tu bosses pas dans l'animation ou les VFX, mais d'autres chapitres hyper intéressants artistiquement, avec beaucoup de mises en pratique qui aident à comprendre les choses. Grâce à ce cours j'ai compris beaucoup de concepts que je connaissais théoriquement auparavant.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Tellement de bonnes idées graphiques partout, il suffit de mettre pause sur une frame et de piocher. Voir en vidéo https://www.artofvfx.com/tag/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse/
Voir aussi notamment les concepts arts de Robh Ruppel https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rRJYOL
Pour la peinture j’ai enfin compris des choses chez Edward Hopper. Ça m’évoque beaucoup de solitude qui se rapporte bien à la vie contemporaine.
C’est aussi une idée intéressante de retranscrire Hopper en photo. Une fois j’ai traversé Paris à pieds à 4h du matin et j’ai beaucoup ressenti son travail, la solitude et les fenêtres. J’ai pris cette photo :
Je ne peux pas ne pas citer aussi Egon Schiele. Il me présente une réalité dure et crue mais surtout sincère. Mon but artistique est d’arriver à traduire des choses aussi fortes. Les textures et les déformations des corps me rendent ouf
C’est tout pour 2019 !
Pour suivre mes tentatives d’application de ces inspirations, c’est sur Instagram instagram.com/aweusmeuh/ et @Secretographe https://www.instagram.com/secretographe/

I Like Ghostbusters (2016)
This is going to be long and I almost didn’t post it because of that, but I spent hours on this, and I’m not letting that go to waste. So here you go.
Also Spoiler Warning.
And I understand that’s a point of contention because some vocal people in the world don’t agree with the idea that some other people in the world are born with vaginas...
My heart bleeds...
I’m going to clarify before I get into the meat of this and explain why I like the movie, I don’t think it’s the best movie, I don’t even think it’s a great movie.
It’s alright. It’s about as enjoyably flawed as most other movies and I don’t see anything really terrible about it.
And I’m not saying that so I can appear neutral on the topic, I feel it’s an honest criticism that the movie is just OK, but that’s not a damnable offense.
My favourite movie (Pokémon The First Movie) is flawed as hell, from Pokemon being referred to by the wrong name, staggeringly inconsistent world-mechanics, emotional scenes almost ruined by what looks like stock on-model clip-art Pokemon smiling in the background while Ash lies “dead”, laughable uses of early 2000′s CG and even a well-meaning but ham-fisted and easily misconstrued message about ignoring the things that make people different and instead celebrating that we’re all the same in a way (which in turn limits discussion about cultural differences and why they’re so fascinating and worth sharing)
And that’s not even touching on how Meowth is honestly the true hero of the movie.
But anyway, I could go on forever about that.
What I’m laboriously trying to get to is that even movies you love and maybe consider perfect, have things wrong with them. It’s a logical truth about not just all movies, but probably all things in the universe.
And I think a wonderful way to illustrate that, whilst also talking about the main focus of this thing I’m writing right now, would be to list off a select handful of things I liked about Ghostbusters 2016 and compare them to the original movie (And maybe even the second one).
So let’s get to it.
The Ghostbusters actually all believe in ghosts.
Yeah, So I’m going to address this point with the original movie first.
You have Ray, who believes in ghosts and Egon, who also believes, or at least is interested in the actual research that goes into proving the existence of ghosts. That’s fine, you need at least one person to be a believer for the premise to make any logical sense.
But then you have Venkman, He has PHDs in psychology and a para-psychoogy. So he at least has some kind of passing interest into, at the very least, the psychological component of why people might believe ghosts are real.
But as is proven within the opening moments of the film, he doesn’t really seem to believe anything he’s spouting. You see him in the midst of an experiment on negative reinforcement and it’s affect on ESP, but he’s not doing it because he’s interested, at least not when you see him. He’s doing it to impress a female student.
Because if anything is going to get a girl probably half your age raring to go it’s electrocuting a classmate for giggles.
Anyway, moving on to Winston. It’s worth mentioning that when Aykroyd and Ramis were writing Winston they wanted him to also be a scientist, or at least someone with a higher degree of education or a background in engineering, but it was agreed later on that having the cast comprised of all scientists leaves them no every-man for the audience to relate to, so we got the Winston that is in the movie.
I have nothing against that, that’s a fine judgement call in my opinion. And I don’t think it makes his role in the movie any less valid, if anything it makes him more essential for grounding the story, because he arrives in the story to get a job hunting ghosts, something he doesn’t discredit, but also doesn’t openly believe in straight away. And remarks that as long as he gets paid he’ll believe whatever they ask him to.
So two of the four original Ghostbusters don’t believe in ghosts or at the very least don’t have a strong opinion about it either way.
In the 2016 version, all of them believe in ghosts.
Erin, believed in ghosts due to repeated encounters with an old woman who died next door when she was a little girl, prompting her parents to put her into therapy and her peers at school to ridicule her. Which is when she met Abby and they became fast friends over their mutual interest in the paranormal.
They grew up and co-wrote a book about their hypothesis about potentially encountering, interacting with and containing ghosts. Fast forward to the start of the movie, Erin has forced herself to repress her interest in ghosts and convinced herself that she doesn’t believe anymore as a means to succeed in mainstream academia.
Abby however continued to believe and eventually meets Holtzmann, who as it would seem also believed in ghosts and feels she’s capable of constructing the mechanisms necessary to fulfil Abby and Erin’s previous dreams.
Then as a result of encountering a real ghost, Erin believes again and Abby and Holtzmann have their evidence to validate their research.
Later on in the movie we are introduced to Patty, Who admittedly doesn’t indicate any previous belief in ghosts, but she is inspired to join the Ghostbusters because she encounters one, so realistically, that makes her a believer before she joins.
All four Ghostbusters are believers in the thing they set out to do in the 2016 movie for individual reasons.
Erin, because of past experiences, Abby because she bonded with her closest friend over the paranormal, Holtzmann because it’s later revealed she has a hard time fully understanding how people work and was looking for companionship from Abby and ghost hunting sounded like a cool enough reason to hang out*. And Patty actually sees a ghost before finding the right people to ask about it.
(*That isn’t to say that Holtzmann only believed because Abby did, Holtzmann clearly thinks ghosts exist, look at her reaction to the first ghost in the movie, she’s not surprised to find that Abby was right, she’s hyped as hell to see a ghost, it validated her and her friends work together.)
To move further onto this point, and introduce the next section...
The people in positions of power believe in ghosts as well.
In Ghostbusters 2016, the Mayor of New York has his people make contact with the Ghostbusters to congratulate them on their discovery, but to ultimately stop making such a big deal about it for fear of public hysteria. Because unlike in the original movie (And a little bit in two) Ghosts were happening even when the Ghostbusters weren’t around. I know it’s crazy to think about.
The original movie, somehow expected it’s audience to buy into a premise of scientists fighting against paranormal activity in a major metropolitan area where seemingly no one believed in or had ever encountered a ghost before the start of the film... It goes double for the second movie, because in the intervening time between the end of one and the beginning of two, the Ghostbusters were court ordered to stop any paranormal investigations of any kind.
So in that time, I guess nobody saw a ghost? You never hear anyone saying how they want the Ghostbusters back because they were actually providing a service? It’s ridiculous. And the men in charge of the city are still skeptics, despite everyone witnessing a giant marshmallow man about a year prior?
So yeah, the portrayal of authority in the 2016 movie is more forgiving, You probably won’t see anyone insulting the man who played the Mayor in the 2016 role for how much of a shit his character was, unlike what unfortunately happened to the actor who played Walter Peck.
And the attitudes presented by these characters (in the 2016 movie) are a constant throughout, sure there’s one scene where they publicly don’t believe Erin when she’s screaming about the impending crisis, but their role in the movie is that of a mediator between what’s actually happening and the public, it’s a facade and probably a little closer to what would actually happen in this scenario.
The Ghostbusters tech is iterative (in the 2016 version).
So everyone is familiar with the Proton packs, anyone who was a child during the 80′s and 90′s probably wanted a Proton pack or grew into an adult that eventually owned a screen-accurate one. I wager almost no one will argue that the Proton pack isn’t one of the coolest and most iconic pieces of Sci-Fi tech in film.
But it wasn’t until watching the 2016 version, that I realised I’ve always wanted to see how they made them... In the original movie they just have Proton packs, traps and a containment grid ready to go on their first mission to hunt for Slimer.
You never see the process of how they designed or constructed the tech in the original movies. The closest you get to this is in the second movie where you see Ray tinkering with the slime launcher, but even then, it’s more-or-less fully built even before they reveal what it is.
You could claim that this is a “modern cinema” way of thinking, because back in the late 80′s to early 90′s it was less important* to show how everything worked in a film like it is today.
(*There are doubtless movies from the same time that DID do it, it just wasn’t as necessary as it is today)
That’s a fine point and I honestly can’t argue against it, it is more telling about the times in which the movies were made.
But I still feel like I would have rather have seen them even just doing a montage of putting their business together.
They buy an old firehouse and a hearse, then suddenly it’s got everything they need in it?
I will also concede that, in the 2016 movie, they seem to have access to basically all of the stuff they need despite never showing any indication of having any kind of budget.
(Also, I’m not sure why they actually needed a receptionist... Let alone budgeted in the wages for one...)
I don’t know much, but I reckon it’s not easy to make four portable nuclear accelerators on the cheap, even if they’re made of salvaged scrap. But you do have to allow for a little suspension of disbelief with Sci-Fi comedies.
So yeah, both have a some inconsistencies on where exactly their tech comes from or how they can afford to make them, but whatever.
I also really enjoyed the variances of the tech in the 2016 version, you have a ghost vacuum crossed with a paper shredder, a hand mounted, punch activated proton gauntlet, the... I’ll be honest I can’t tell what it is that Erin uses during the final scenes is it a proton grenade launcher or a shotgun or what? Speaking of grenades they also have those and then the show piece, Holtzmann’s duel Proton whips.
These variations of the same basic tech are brilliant and I love them. Why would you just have one catch-all (Pun some-what intended) device that all ghosts are susceptible to? I mean there’s going to be instances where a ghost is too large or small for a proton pack right? Or what if a ghost presents itself to be too dangerous to risk the time it’d take to capture?
The original movie never really touched on the idea of killing ghosts (Despite doing so at least twice), probably because on paper it sounds nonsensical, but when you give ghosts a physical presence that can be interacted with and through proton manipulation, moved around and held indefinitely, killing them becomes less absurd. The movies can easily work around it by simply saying “we didn’t kill a ghost, we just destabilised it.”
Which honestly works for me. You don’t really need to explain further, you shot lasers at a thing until it turned to mist, righteo!
And that is a thing that actually happens in the 2016 film, during the final scenes the team squares off against an entire street of different kinds of human-shaped ghosts. And they don’t capture any of them, there are no prisoners in the 2016 film.
They successfully capture one ghost and then set it free to spite one of their biggest and most vocal naysayers. But the actual reason they don’t catch any ghosts in this one, is because they don’t have a containment grid until the END of the movie when the government has finally recognised their efforts and provides them funding.
Giving yet another reason why the authority figures in the 2016 version are better than the originals.
OK, that’s probably going to do it, because this became really long, really fast. But I would like to just very quickly speak directly about some criticisms the movie received.
“Women can’t be Ghostbusters”.
This is the most common one and it baffles me to no end. I don’t remember that being firmly established within the first two movies. I mean looking at the evidence you can at least say that until recently all Ghostbusters were male, but that in itself still doesn’t state that women CAN’T be Ghostbusters...
I’ve also heard a variation of the argument, saying that it isn’t that they’re women it’s because they’re all women, and fair enough. I can’t say that the movie would or wouldn’t have been better or at least more favourably received if there were at least one male Ghostbuster, but that’s not the direction they took, so we’ll never know.
But ultimately there is nothing stopping women from putting on a back pack and shooting lasers at ghosts. Nothing at all. I could do it from my chair, it doesn’t take much effort. So any out-dated argument about it being a physically demanding, manly job for strong, manly men, just remember, the first movie was about three nerds shooting lasers at ghosts.
“There was a Queef joke within five minutes of the movie starting!”
That’s your metric for whether a movie is bad? are you fucking five? I’ve watched movies in the past where the central joke was that people fart. If a movie with a female cast want to make something their bodies do into a joke, then let them... in the grand scheme of things, one queef joke is nothing compared to the near endless stream of farts, poops, puke, burps and erections I’ve seen in movies. Fuck in Super Bad a girl has her period on a dudes leg. Now let me just go see... Nope I checked there isn’t mass hysteria in the streets over this...
Fucking grow up.
And it’s not even like it carries on that way throughout the movie. as I said, I’ve seen whole films about the core conceit that farts are funny.
But no, if the Ghostbusters want to make one throw away gag about yet another kind of gaseous expulsion, then that’s too far!
“All the men in the movie are stupid!”
Yeah, OK. Name a comedy that hasn’t included at least one stupid male character.
Also, only two of them are stupid in the typical sense. The rest are skeptical.
And I wouldn’t mind this argument if some of those characters weren’t justifiably stupid.
Let’s look at the classic example, Kevin the receptionist. So this is a man who is textbook handsome but absolutely stupid to the point of possibly being a danger to himself and others. But he kind of has to be that way.
You’re probably confused so let me validate that claim. He at some point saw a job listing to be a receptionist for a new private business, the name of the business is a bunch of long words he can’t even remember half the time but it’s something about paranormal whats-its and it’s located above a Chinese restaurant.
Would you, go for that job? I know money is tight for everyone, but still. imagine that job listing and then imagine the kind of person who would go for it.
And I bet you’re imagining the kind of person who takes the lenses out of their glasses to stop them from getting dirty.
“We don’t need to reboot Ghostbusters!”
Actually, I fully agree. This is my one major problem with the film. We didn’t need to reboot it.
I know it’s been 30 years since we had a Ghostbusters movie and reboot is the new original IP in the current movie business. But there is one line in the original move that validates spin-off movies over flat out reboots or remakes.
“The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams.”
This is a line that Venkman says to Ray when they gather the funding for their business.
The full intention was to make Ghostbusting a FRANCHISE, not a single business.
So there is in no uncertain terms more than enough wiggle room to create Ghostbuster movies set in different places. I mean what if it became an international franchise? the possibilities are now endless.
But they went with a reboot. Because.
And that is honestly the only major criticism I can think of.

A love/hate review of the Ghostbusters (3) movie and all the things I wish it could have been. Please note these are my opinions on the film if you love it for what it is then, by all means, keep on watching it! There is far worse content in the world to fill your mind with and there is more than enough redeemable qualities to the film to justify it being in anyone's wheelhouse of flicks.
When I first watched the movie I was unimpressed by the film which failed to straddle that line of both being scary, funny, adult (in humor) and kid-friendly like the first film managed to do and the second Ghostbusters only sorta tapped into. I laughed at the Kristen Wiig joke about how expensive the Firehouse would be in New York City but found myself unamused by the schools Dean tossing up a bunch of middle fingers OR the wonton soup joke which felt forced and repeated. A movie of consistent ebbs and flows made me really enjoy the flick in one moment and kinda hating in others. This reboot failed to catch the spirit of the first two movies (wakka wakka) and ended up making something new in the process, whether it's for better or worse is up to you.
Cast and Crew (Love)
The ladies picked for this film are needless to say titans of comedy. I have been a fan of Kristen Wiig for years (loved her in Paul) and Kate McKinnon might be one of THE BEST personalities on SNL of all time (youtube Kellywise SNL). Not lacking any love for Melissa McCarthy or Leslie Jones but I admit it took time for those ladies to grow on me. The point is this movie had an amazing cast of lead female characters and an amazing cast of supporting characters that make you wish you were the wrap party. I am also a big fan of Paul Feig (any guy who brings back Joel McHale gets a gold star by me) and his attempt to provide an all-female Ghostbusters has had positive effects for young girls seeing themselves as action stars, heroes, and scientists. Anyone who can’t see that value is clearly dead inside.
Missed Opportunities (Hate)
From a writing perspective, I felt they missed a HUGE opportunity to continue the story of the original Ghostbusters movies. Oscar would be in his late 20′s or early 30′s now making him the perfect candidate to carry on the Ghostbusters franchise. It wouldn't have been hard to do and would have allowed former actors to reprise their old roles as secondary characters while building on what they have done before. Another missed opportunity was not allowing the ‘scientific minds’ of the group (Ray and Egon) be filled by African Americans switching away from the Winston trope of black characters being the ‘everyman’ role which Leslie filled in this movie. They could have hit on the same key points of females as scientists and heroes while showing some love to African community as well (Black Panthers Shuri anyone?).
Ghosts (Love/Hate)
No one can deny that CG has upped its game for the quality of movies. This is no different for the ghosts in this movie, have an XRay effect where you not only see thru them but they are layered by clothes, skin, skeletons and ectoplasm was a really cool effect if you look at the ghosts in the movie (especially the subway ghost). I would like to say from a nostalgic point of view I missed the ‘puppets’ used from the original movies. Perhaps I because I was a kid but those non-human like ghosts the first movies used were a hell of a lot more inventive/scary than the human/balloon/gargoyle/slimmer selection that the new movie used. This all comes down to preference of taste.
Kevin the Himbo (Hate)
Kevin (Chris Hemsworth) felt like a strangely step in a wrong direction that I didn't even know I had a problem with. I have never been a fan of character archetypes being so one dimensional but this felt like novice writing at its core. A bimbo role would have not have gone over well with any female audiences but for the sake equality neither should have Kevin's role where a man is literally so dumb he doesn't know how phone works, wears glasses without lenses and basically the only purpose was to be eye candy for Erin (Kristen Wiig). Which all felt doubly inauthentic as it didn't fit her character and basically ok’d a brilliant scientist objectifying a male employee much the way men do in American corporate culture. Maybe that was the joke but I honestly didn't get it.
For The Kids (Love)
Despite all my issues with the movie, there is the glaring fact that this WAS NOT made for me. I am not 100% sold it was made for adult women either but if anything it was created for the younger generation. I can chuckle and scoff all day but I can't deny that my nieces and nephew are both enthralled by the movie and ask to watch it over and over, much the way I did in the 80/90′s with the first two flicks.
Conclusion
As I said I hated the movie the first time I watched it and still hated it the second time. However on my 5th or 6th time watching it (against my will) for my nieces and nephews sake it isn't all terrible. One simply has to find the moments that are worth watching and find joy in that (much like real life). I really hope though this is both beginning and then end. I might not make friends by saying that but the movie missed the mark and there are other stories to tell but like I said this movie wasn't made for me so who knows what they will do.
Regards
Michael California
