A new film by the makers of Shaun Of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim V's the World called Attack The Block has a nice Ghostbusters reference in the trailer.

“Dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!!” is paraphrased in “Rango”.

Just a few minutes ago, the pep band at the Final Four played the theme during pre-game, on national TV.

Sweet.

This guy talks about one of my all-time favourite 16bits game “Zombies ate my neighbors”, with a few GB references.

Yesterday was the World Graphic Design Day, and here in my town there was a calling for those graphic designers to design a poster about loving the career, and in the night was this screening of all those posters on the Telmex Building.
Here´s a pic of my poster.

Hey, Robocop 2 was on TV last night. (What are the odds?)

Anyway, while it's not a direct reference, there's a Real Ghostbusters game in the background of the Arcade sequence: our hero faces the corrupt Officer Duffy, bashes his head into a few machines, and throws him onto the ground. As Duffy hits the deck, just behind him is a machine with a familiar curved, blue marquee and letters corresponding to "THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS" on it.

When I saw it, I went, “Squeeeeeeeee!”

Two toy references for you:

First, here's Ghosthunter Shaggy from a new Scooby-Doo toyline.



Second, here's an Imaginext alien that bears an uncanny resemblance to RGB's H2Ghost:

So, last night's episode of Castle was about a reality-show ghost-hunter who died in a haunted house (it proved to be mundane) but it had a grand total of 2 Ghostbusters references.

At the beginning, everyone thought it was a demon, and Castle's partner says, “What do we do, zap it with our proton packs?”

Later on, she says (under much protest), “I ain't afraid of no ghost!” and a few bars of RPJ's theme played.

I haven't seen this one yet, but I'm currently reading World War Z (it's that month of the year) and caught this last night:

“Tools and Talent?

A term my son heard once in a movie.”

Not positive, but it felt like a reference to me. Here's the page (172) on google books

Hope everyone gets to enjoy it on the big screen tomorrow night!
