Talk:Ghostbusters/Archive 2

Reviewers at AllMusic awarded both the Original Soundtrack Album and the Original Motion Picture Score 4 out of 5 stars. Evan Cater describes the Original Soundtrack Album as "a very disjointed, schizophrenic listen" that "does very little to conjure memories of the film". However, he cited the title track, Mick Smiley's "Magic", and the two inclusions from Elmer Bernstein's score as exceptions.[1] Jason Ankeny described the Original Motion Picture Score as "epic in both sound and scale", writing that it "ranks among Bernstein's most dazzling and entertaining efforts, evoking the widescreen wonder of its source material ... his melodies beautifully complement the wit and creativity of the onscreen narrative".[2]

Can anyone watching this article help me with references regarding the film's impact? I'm struggling as Google keeps pulling up the 2016 film instead of this one. Also more information about the ghost designs/effects would be appreciated. Thanks. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 21:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Have you tried using Google's extra tools to limit results to pre-2016? eg from a Google News search? --Masem (t) 21:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes but even then it doesn't really seem to come up with much talking specifically about the original film. I won't struggle finding top 100 film lists or whatever, and prob merch but I'm after the direct cultural impact like on The Shawshank Redemption. Stuff like the massive quotability, references in popular culture, influence on directors, etc. Any help would be appreciated as I'm kind of hitting that peak when I work on articles that it's becoming more work than it's worth and I start slowing down and losing interest. I honestly thought it would be far easier to find sources than it has been. Most stuff has come from those three Vanity Fair/Esquire/Hollywood Reporter articles from 2014.

The "Aftermath" section contains this bit: "As for Atherton, based on Murray's ad-libbed insult of 'dickless'…" but Aykroyd says it, not Murray. Murray says, "This man has no dick." The cited source gets this wrong, too. (See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdoBLtLwpQQ) What's the best way to rectify this? CPColin (talk) 23:04, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

But the title for this link should be just "William Atherton", "'Ghostbusters' Turns 30! Here's How Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis Ended Up Making Timeless Comedy" should be The Huffington Post, which one is it?--Jarodalien (talk) 10:31, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Doing what you should've done after adhering to WP:BRD. Feel free to expand here without WP:EDITWARRING on a Featured Article. The link additions in the plot are WP:OVERLINK to obvious terms, reintroduce several uses of "that" when any good English guide will tell you to avoid using that as much as possible, introduced random asides like Ron Jeremy and Debbie Gibson not speaking in the film (why?), changing the credit of Jeannie Kasem from tall guest as in the credits of the film to a guest at the party, and factual inaccuracies such as they all stayed at Aykroyd's home in Martha's Vineyard when they stayed in separate homes.
