GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) 👻 First Time Watching 🎬 Movie Reaction

[@DawnMarieX]

🌟 Hey everyone! I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me over the years 🥰 Many of you have asked how you can help with my dream of having a small farm/ranch with the goal of helping animals in need. I'm excited to share that I've set up a GoFundMe to help make my dream a reality hopefully a wee bit sooner. If you'd like to contribute, please check out the link below-every little bit helps!

PTMMD - Post Traumatic Marshmallow Man Disorder

[@KariLepola]

Now that you KNOW that the marshmallow man will be okay, try to rewatch that bit again. The real stay puft marshmallows were on Dana's kitchen counter earlier. When he climbs the building it's a King Kong reference. Obviously he catches fire, because that's what happens to marshmallows when you roast them too much. Even his destruction is harmless. Just a big SPLAT on the bad guy, who's then clearly alright. And if you turn off the sound? If you also think about it from a filming point if view. Obviously it isn't real. So precisely whow did they get the different bits on film? And where are the borders between techniques. The Stay Puft bit isn't just one take, but different tricks.🤔

While eating marshmallows to show them who the boss is.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

​@@feralart Yes! 😄😂

[@mwflanagan1]

That’s the funniest character to be traumatized by. Hilarious. Thanks for this reaction, Dawn.

15:30 I don't think it's because nobody saw it, it's because nobody cares.

[@mgordon1100]

That's right. It's New York City.

[@cbuchner6862]

​@@mgordon1100Bingo. We don't give a crap as long as you're not in the way.

[@0okamino]

Well, even for NYC, if they actually saw Vinz Clortho, there might be more concern (or not), but Louis was already being possessed by that point. Just a random person behaving like that, though? Yeah, business as usual.

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Normal NYers would care. Those snooty prats at Terrace On The Park don't give a crap.

[@raybirdman]

I’ve lived my entire life in the state of New York and I can confirm. We don’t get to the bar or club until 9pm. Sometimes, 10pm.

[@reservoirdude92]

4:55 Jesus Christ 3 different times asking if it's their first time when it OBVIOUSLY was. Seriously, I NEED to know how this woman gets through the day being as clueless as she makes herself out to be..

[@MartinBeerbom]

The guy who always locks himself out becomes the keymaster. I'm always amazed that no one ever comments on that.

[@eleegs]

SNL. There is a lot of adult xxxx subtext in t(e humor…. “Crossing of the streams” down to the slime. Keymaster and Gatekeeper to do their thing for e “goner”If you take the time to re-watch, you will catch the dirty minds of these three SNL alum’s writing

[@bobbabai]

I always thought "crossing of the streams" was a metaphor for boys peeing out in the woods together.

[@MemoristCed]

The slime is literally an element from the Victorian era, when spiritism and occultism were actually very popular. Ectoplasm was indeed a slimy substance connected with seances and spirit mediums and manifestations. It's really quite fascinating if you look into it, puts a whole different perspective on the time period.

I had sunstroke and was delirious as a kid when we watched the original Dune on TV. I had nightmares about sand dunes for years! The best way is just to introduce Mr Stay Puft into your life bit by bit until you just get used to him. Felt so sorry for you watching him! ❤ It’s called “exposure therapy” if you want to look it up. It’s not as naughty as it sounds.

[@TheWebcrafter]

3:01 - "AW, SHITE YOU SPEAK." lol. My thoughts exactly.

[@SeedFactoryProject]

I went to college at Columbia, the university shown in the early scenes, and had a student job in the library. I literally worked in the reading room and back shelves where the first ghost appears. I graduated in 1981, so the film was made after I left. Things are less scary when you have something to hold on to. A boyfriend, pet, pillow, or plush toy. Also, remember a marshmellow man won't eat you - you eat it.

In the original script, the giant monster was going to be the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I don't know if you know that character in your country. The mascot for Pillsbury cookie dough, bread dough, etc. Instead, it would have been this really large version. They couldn't get permission to use the image because they didn't want their cute little mascot to be seen as scary. Instead, they created a fictional mascot by combining The Pillsbury Dough Boy with Bibendum aka the Michelin Man. You can see 2 references to Stay Puft earlier in the movie: A bag of Stay Puft Marshmallows are next to Dana's eggs that explode and fry, and as an advertisement on the wall of a building you can see when the ghosts are freed and burst through the ceiling of their headquarters.

[@slimmccoy8863]

There was a game for the Commodore 64 (that was what we had for computers back in the day), that featured a character called "Mr Meringue", and several other recognizable monsters w/ slightly different names. I suspect that the studio spent all their endorsement budget for the rights to use Godzilla.

[@dread9030]

Ghostbusters is not a kids movie, but they did advertise it to kids. This happened a lot in the 80's. I had an Ed-209 toy growing up as a kid from the movie Robocop. Crazy times.

[@michaellarnach4161]

Being scared of mr stay puft is the most adorable thing (although tbf his official title is "the destructor")
