As I've gotten back into the fandom (I've just been mostly absent since GBFE talk geared up) I've found in my research that many of us have had questions answered by Alex (and his handy copy of Making Ghostbusters). He is a bottomless resource of knowledge and a great source of videos. His latest video especially hit home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o0_Iz85Dls and inspired me to make this thread. So won't you take a moment and just thank Alex for all he's done for this community? I know I'm grateful!
Cheers to Alex!
He’s amazing. He solved one of the biggest mysteries of GB2 I’ve had. Roger Ebert’s print review. He reviewed it on TV. He has a GB1 review. Where’s the 2nd film? Turns out he didn’t write one.
On YouTube He also has like every clip of GB2 being promoted on TV from summer 1989.
Fans like him and Derek Osborn are just the greatest. They make me proud to be a GBfan & have helped this community endlessly.
Same with Paul Rudoff and Mrmichaelt. These types of people arent just fans. They are keepers of the torch. The GB torch. They help the fire of Ghostbusters spread & illuminate those new fans who watch the film for the first time, head to the internet and google “Ghostbusters”. Chances are they’ll come across something written or assisted in some way by one of these 4 gentlemen.
I thank you all. I’d happily cross streams with any of you.
