It wasn’t until I was an adult I realize that Peter wasn’t pulling the numbers out of his butt. It was only a few years ago I noticed that Egon is telling Peter how much money they needed to keep the doors open and lights on at the fire house.
Egon is cropped out of the Pan & Scan video release in that shot. I remember a friend telling me about the Egon hand signals in college, circa 1990, and thinking he was wrong. It was around this time, taking RTF courses, that I first learned about aspect ratios and understood why movies on television always felt so claustrophobic to me. I began special-ordering films on widescreen VHS after college, and when I bought the widescreen Ghostbusters I was like "I'll be darned! There's that Egon bit that Scott was talking about." Even though the industry eventually changed after that and now most people have widescreen-capable TVs and watch all their films in their proper aspect ratio, I still hear people talk about never having noticed that subtle bit before.
@@LextheRobot The irony is that everyone now has widescreen TVs, yet they shoot all their videos from their phones in portrait and not landscape, which defeats the purpose of having a 16:9 widescreen TV at all.
Why aren't they making a 35th anniversary Edition on DVD and only on bluray cause that really bites and sucks cause I have the new edition collection of 1 & 2. Cause all the deleted footage is gold even then Oprah Whinfry interviews are gold too.
"Let's talk fees and tortillas please!" That was the best lol

I never caught onto that until like 10 years ago. It makes me laugh now. 🤣😂😂

The $5,000 fee equates to US$14,700 in 2023.
This is gold. I hope they show the sentient ecto1, and the ray and winstein deleted scene. Are they every going to release all these cuts.
Sentient Ecto-1? I never heard about that before.
@TheWestEngine Is it on the 35th anniversary Blu ray?
