Monday night I got to see the John
Carpenter classic theatrically for the first time, and it was a
transcendent experience; the movie is my favorite from him (no small
feat) and it drew a nice crowd. I am glad that the Cinemark location
at CityWalk on Universal Studios grounds is showing that and other
retro horror during this spooky season; furthermore, there was no
problem with the big audience, much to my relief.
Who you gonna call... Mickey, Donald, and Goofy?
The past week or so has been more hectic than expected for me so some days I haven't felt like or had the time for full movies, so a cartoon less than 10 minutes long is what I have to fall back on. But, after tonight things should return to normal and in fact, there may be a day or two where I can post multiple reviews. For now, a cartoon I did not even know the existence of until a few days ago.
The plot is simple: several ghosts are bored in a haunted house because no one explores their domain any longer. They decided to ring up ghostbusters-or as this short calls them, Ghost Exterminators-Mickey, Donald, and Goofy (!) and invite them over. As none of them have proton packs, the ghosts successfully troll the trio in a variety of ways, from making loud noises to tricking them. This is done in a house that looks to have been abandoned ages ago and as this was pretty funny & has lovely animation throughout, it was nice to see this during October.
To end this w/ a random aside, when I was a kid, “Bustin' makes me feel good!” from the Ghostbusters theme song did not leave an impression on me but as I became a little older and realized what it meant... much mirth and hilarity was had. If I said it still doesn't make me giggle a little, then I would be lyin' to all of you.
Now, let me discuss the 1937 Disney
cartoon Lonesome Ghosts:
