Hello all, it's been a while. I was surprised to hear at my videogame store that a new ghostbusters movie was in the making, all flesh and blood and couldn't resist to take a look here. A lot has changed, i can see. All topics in the gb3 sections are locked or have almost disapeared (with a couple of my suggestions). It must be for a good reason. Lucky me, I like to save most of my post.
I have read most of what was said in the topic “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” and I agree with almost everything (probably becose it's close to the concept that I have posted to “Ocean Picture” ten years ago - very bad script if you ask me - and here at gb.net ).
I was going to throw my suggestions here in the “Crew Room” (my original message started with what's said above) but I think it's not the right place for that. I'll wait then until it's unlock.
(thanks for keeping my account by the way)

So… the topic “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” is deleted now???? It's a cool way to say ‘thank you’ to all the fans who posted about what gb3 should be over the years. This is a Ghostbusters fans site, no? It even asked the fans about what they liked, their imaginations and interests about the film univers; it's going against the logic to delete the content of what made, in part, this site so popular. The subject is now Ghostbusters 3, isn't it the best way to make it a top seller by reading what the fans wish? You take some of this and some of that, and bake everything during a couple months and you obtain a blockbuster! But the site took the ingredients out of the fridge and what kind of cake will we get without eggs and butter… “Nice glue… is it a family recipe?” The site deserve to have a topic called “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” and the fans deserve to write their ideas about it. Fans ideas make the blood of this website, it can't have too much when it's full of protein/vitamins.
Now you will say that I'm writing this just to allow myself to write what I wish to see in Ghostbusters 3; what was in this topic was soo interesting that it gives you the need to reply about it and share with what other fans have to say! I talked about Ghostbusters since 2003, I'm not interested anymore in repeating what I have already said to same questions again; and I'm the one who said that the more you will talk about ghostbusters the more it will keep it alive; it's soo much alive now that it's running everywhere even the ceiling! I said what I wanted in the new game, I talked about the comic book, but why I can't talk about what I wish to see in the new movie? I'm sure the members here will agree that deleting the topic “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” is a mistake. And I'm sure you will delete my post because I'm right.
Since there's no place anymore to post about this great subject, I guess the ‘Crew Room’ is the right place now. It's like a living room here, sit down, say what you want and enjoy.

The ghostbusters should always be on business; that river of slime going in the atmosphere, nothing tells us if it's gone or not; Vigo is a sorcerer after all; you can have plenty of negative energy everywhere on Earth becose of this “unknown” factor; rain containing low quantity of negativly charged molecule of slime can do a lot of damage without our knowledge (Add one drop of salt in the water and everything change for the fishs). The activity should stay low, giving the ghostbusters enough work during a year to live, and grow with time.

The movie starts on a close up of a belt someone locks; in the background, the alarm is ringing like another day job; gloves are put on hands; camera moves on a car door someone opens, you only know what door it is when the proton pack is placed on its rack; google is placed on a head and the close up diminish at moderate speed to reveale Ray; he nods before turning back, entering ecto1 that we now completely see from behind its right corner, as the camera view elevates slowly; on this same angle, another ghostbuster enters on the other side and the gbhq's doors open; the sirene activated, the car leaves and the theme song plays. Credits appears while the camera follows ecto1 from above, its sides and into the streets. I think a remix of the original theme song is perfect for the opening, no add on, no style change, made of instrumental parts (I'll work something as an exemple if I can).
Camera on Winston driving.
Winston looks tired - Another day work.
Ray look serious, at his side.
Ray - I dont get it… No city in history has never needed anti-paranormal services of this kind.
Winston smiles - that's becose no technology of this kind was available during then. Shamans were there before us, priest after, psychic powers made them and now technology made us.
Ray stretch his neck - Good one… But we saved the days how many times… everything seems uglier.
Winston nods - Agree and to save this one you should concentrate on ecto's pke scan rather than busting your neck like that.
Ray looks down on the board, hit a button and point the left with his thumb.
Ray - Signal seems stronger south-west.
Camera angle behind ecto1's right corner as it moves away and turn left. Camera angle from inside the car, showing the street through the windshield; a cloudy light moves quickly through the buildings on the left side of the street.
Ray point his finger - There!
Winston nods to calm him down while keeping his eyes on the street - I see it, I see it.
Camera from behind ecto1 as it accelerates after the vaporous light which enters the wall of a bulding office. Camera view facing the buildings as they move quickly from right to left as the car speed up; through the many windows, objects of all kind can be seen flying everywhere and the people inside are screaming under the disorder that the cloudy light create; ecto1 appears slowly in the view from left to right, showing Ray and Winston through its window. The light comes out of the last wall, end in the middle of the following street and turn suddenly left to take it. Camera view on Winston has he turns rapidly the wheels. Camera view from inside the car, behind Winston and Ray who are observing the entity in front.
Ray - Amazing, it's already at the other end.
Far away, the light turns suddenly right and disappear.
Winston - Ray?
Ray looks at the scan on the board - Slow down, we're getting close.
Camera angle in front of a house. Ecto1 stop in front of it. Siren is turned off. Close up on Winston as he looks through the windshield.
Winston - Always the nice places that seems to have problems.
Ray turns on and off the pke meter - it's definitly there.
Winston - Looks like nobody home or has noticed.
Ray and Winston gets out of the car. Winston opens the door behind and Ray takes a pack on his shoulder.
Ray - At least we're no more accused of these problems.
Winston takes his proton pack and a metallic box.
Winston - What it change, they're always mad when we announce them the bad news.
Camera on front door. Ray knock and a lady answers.
Ray - Hi ma'am, we're the ghostbusters. We received a call and the problems has moved in your place.
Ray end his phrase while showing the active pke meter. The woman smile confused.
Woman - I know who you are but… there must be a mistake; nothing strange happened… I would have noticed.
Winston's eyes gets bigger - Ray!
Camera view from behind him above his shoulder; behind the woman, in the deep of the room, a human form walks slowly and stop. The woman feels the presence and turns.
Woman - Mommy???
Ray and Winston look slowly at each other. The presence seems to smile at her, but it's too far to tell. It walks back in the room it came from.
Woman - Mommy?!
Ray holds her as she was going to move - I doubt it's your mom…
The woman is confused as she looks at Ray. In the house, on the ground, a small shadow runs from the room where the presence disapeared and stop brutaly in the middle of the place, looking at the woman with its two blue eyes; a cat.
Woman - Pearl? But you died tirty years ago!
Winston - ShapeShifter!
The cat makes a scary sound before running into another room. Woman is scared. Ray is excited. Winston put his box on the ground.
Woman - what is it?
Ray - it scans your home and its rooms to send small units in each corners.
Instantly, the device separates itself into small units of few centimeters each, moving everywhere on the floor and disapearing in each rooms they can find; leaving only an antenna on a smaller box from where they came. Ray and Winston take the woman away from the entrence.
Ray - Four in each rooms, they will then activate themselves to create an invisible energy field, harmless to us but a bit itchy for ghosts. It's better to stand back just in case.
Camera view follows units entering a room while Ray explains. Each one takes a corner to separates themselve in two; one part stays on the floor and the last one is pushed in the corner above by a magnetic field. Outside, the box receives a signal and bip.
Woman - But why my own mother would do this to me?! And my cat?!
Winston - Have you been living here a long time now?
Woman - since my childhood.
Winston - Then I guess you could meet everyone you know. Your home is filled with soulprint…
A bright light comes out of each units, illuminating the rooms, and a horrible scream is heard from inside the home; Ray grabs his particle thrower while Winston takes the scared woman a few more steps away.
Winston - …We're all made of energy. The longer we stay in a place, the more we left there our signature. If you receive alot some friends at home, that thing could have look like one of them as well!
Camera view on the front left of the house from winston; as he finish, something appears inside the home, flying behind the window, bouncing on the walls, like if it was searching desperately for an exit; the system at the entrence shutdown and the thing escape instantly from its cell through the door; what was a cloudy light looks now like a giant rotten potato that picasso could have painted.
Woman is disgusted - No way my friends looks like that!
Camera on Ray, surprised by the thing as it stands above in front of him. The ugly face sense a danger, it reads Ray's mind. Ray throw the particle beam and the ghost does a quick spiral around it before sending him on the ground, covered in dark slime. Winston grab is particle thrower and capture the ghost in a bright flash. The ghost fights for his freedom and Winston is holding desperately against the pressure when Ray gets up and add his help.
Winston - Ok Ray, throw the trap!
Ray shouts - It's you who has it!
Camera view from the ground to above, right side of Winston; the ghost is getting mad and stronger as he tries to escape.
Winston - No, I was the one who took the ectofield…
Ghost is fighting and almost made them cross the streams; Ray and Winston cut the power just in time. The ghost escape in the sky, disapearing from the view with a victorious scream.
Winston smiles at Ray - Ahh, days like this.
Ray put his particle thrower on his belt and go meet the woman.
Ray - I'm sorry, ma'am. It was my mistake. There's nothing more we can do.
Woman is nervous - But, but, but, you leaving?! You cannot leave! That thing…
Ray takes off his gloves, pick a card from his pocket and gives it to her. Winston walks to the car to put his pack on the rack.
Ray - If you notice anything unusual, call us, we never sleep. We'll finish the job for free…
Ray turns back and walks to her home. Woman is anxious and mad as she follows him. - “Finish the job”? You mean this thing may return???
Ray push a button on the ectofield and lights appear - We leave you the ectofield for a month. We do that to our customers in these situations. It'll turn on if anything happens.
Ray looks at the slimed walls inside. - We'll send you our cleaning services, your home will look like new. Free of charge. And our insurances will pay in case of broken furniture.
Woman is mad - But I don't want money! I want you to stay here until the ghost is gone!
Winston takes Ray's pack and go put it on the rack.
Ray shows the pke meter to the woman - you see, this detect paranormal activity and it doesn't react; your home is safe and secure, I wouldn't be affraid if I was you…
Woman - But you're not me and I order you to stay here!
Ray starts to walk away saying goodbye politely.
Woman screams - I swear I'm gonna sue you for this if you leave!
Winston enters the cars and Ray opens the door.
Ray - Oh and don't touch the slime until the cleaning services arrive.
Ray enters and close the door.
Woman - I'm gonna sue you for this!
Camera view on Ray and Winston.
Ray - Another happy customers.
Ray smiles and wave politely as ecto1 leave.
Woman is out of herself.

Of course, it could be anything, I only wanted to write this idea about how the ghostbusters may work in residential zones. To take the ghost outside is better than destroying everything inside… with the company's credibility with it. I don't know what will follow. Only this next steps pops up in my mind:
Because of the corrupted atmosphere, other towns slowly need the ghostbusters and more gbhq will see the day. A containment unit is good but limited. You can't put everything in it. During the years, more will be needed. Too dangerous to keep more than one on a site, at the company's demand, the city will open a maximum security area outside, where a warehouse will hold all the fully loaded CU.
I like the idea of having a criminal group who target the site during the story, but without puting any spotlight on them and without giving them any magical power (it's “Ghostbusters” not “Terrorists or Vodoobusters”); we could hear about them during the news: “Becose they weren't listened by the US governement, the terrorists are now preparing to take actions, say secret sources…” Put it in a scene where another action is holding the viewers concentration, they will soon forget about this news and it'll do a good surprise later when the terrorists will walk on the ghostbusters maximum security site. Or just send police officers racing for the site becose they received informations saying that a bomb was on it. But my first idea was a powershortage, created by the attack of an evil entity. But a terrorist attack is a very good idea.
If you want hell on Earth, I say that this dangerous site is the key to open the gate; the concentrated energy in each containment unit, suddenly free, mix togheter, creating one terrible hurricane of paranormal activity under the explosion, destroying most of the surrounding, bringing darkness and chaos all over the city, its shadow growing slowly everywhere. Water becomes slime, animals turn into dangerous creatures, what had life lives again (optionnal), waves of negative energy give birth to new ghosts while others rule already the area; never before soo many ghostbusters were seen advancing in the street using soo much power; from the sky, they are like ants, spiting particle beams everywhere as they open slowly the road to what was once the maximum security site… where an horde of terrordogs charge them in one nightmarish vision, creating a doubt in the mind of even the most experienced ghostbusters. “We're on the way!” screams a voice through the radio and before the creatures enter inside their rank, the new Ectobuster arrives loaded with the most powerful ectoshield and weapon ever created: a modified military vehicle. Terrordogs are lifted off the ground by multiple particle beams, making the vehicle look like one giant octopus as it moves its large electric tentacles; the terrordogs are droped in the two portable containment units on the back or thrown meters away. Four large units disconnect from the Ectobuster and get into positions to create a strong energy field where the ghostbusters outside take shelter from the ghosts attacks. The six proton packs connected inside the vehicles, which give power to all its systems, are constantly under observation as the ghostbusters approach their ultimate challenge.
What will it be… Gozer again? Vigo again? Both of them? It can also be a new entity who will fusion with the creatures in the surrounding to become the darkest vision ever seen. It can also be the lord of all evil himself.
During the fight against whatever it'll be, the door is wide open to see Venkman appearing to help (if he died). Why not make the ghosts of the terrorists charge against the enemy while at it, it'll be fun to see those wrong persons turning good after they die “Vengence in the name of the Light!”. Ok I forget about the terrorist idea.
Have you see the movie “Excalibur”? At the end, Lancelot arrives at the last second to help Arthur; the great effect of the scene, I think, comes from the fact that you forgot about him. Lets say Egon made the ultimate weapon or has the ultimate artifact to destroy our devil, the only problem is: you need to reach and touch the thing with it. Ectobuster is out, its shield offline, the ghostbusters are on foot, back to back, as they try to push through the energy waves and lightning that our devil casts against them. Their particle beams is concentrated on him, almost ineffective. They often block some of the attacks with the help of lady luck. The ghosts around strikes like mad crows. One ghostbuster falls. They scream to stay togheter under the tidal waves of energy. The heat is sufficiant to make someone collapse. You can't see your feet on the ground in this almost blinding light. A member of the team is striked and disapear. The ghosts around have no mercy. The last ghostbusters believe they're near their enemy but in fact the target is farther; wearing ectogoogle, the member in the back sees his teamates charging the entity in one desperate attempts, he screams “target's too far!” but cannot be heard. The ghosts above elevate to dive for the deathblow when an army of good spirits appears under them to fight back; Peter Venkman's soul is running like the wind through the ghostbusters, grab the artifact/weapon, takes the lead and spear the devil when it was moving for the kill.
A flash follows, everything becomes grey during an instant and a fog fade slowly. The striked ghostbusters lying on the ground start to move and look around. No trace of the ghosts or any paranormal activity. In front, the other members of the team look at themselves.
Ray is shocked - It was Venkman…
Member - He was with us all the time?
Ray looks around him slowly and the sky, and then smiles at the member - Who knows if he's not looking at us right now.
Member - Aren't we supposed to detect it?
Ray pauses and smiles at him again - we never detected this Holy presence above us.
Winston - I guess it explain why it's important to believe.
I also had the funny idea that Egon's invention would collapse this univers on all the others, making them jump back in time to the days they were in the university. The only difference, they study in another domain, they are sucessful and won't be kicked out. In their mind, the shadow of a memory disapear, they look at each other, are about to ask if they have the same feeling, but forget already what they wanted to say. But it's not a realy good ending. The viewers won't understand.
Well that's about it. Gb3 should be about the end of all paranormal activity and the ghostbuster company. Not the team. Gb2 happened becose the source of this activity, what's allowing the spirit world to return in the world of the living, was never vanquish in the first movie. The reason why the ghostbusters are here must end in this one… or we'll always think that Ghostbuster is a normal job, that it is perfectly normal to trap a soul and stop its evolution, and to built another containment unit after another when it's full, poluting the planet with a timebomb at same time, is perfectly normal.
I want no leading role, no main character. All the attention needs to be everywhere: gbhq to ghbq, to CU site, bust in the cities, the news tellin about how the world has gone wrong, people's life getting sick, the race to find a solution before it s too late, the destruction of the CU site, hell on earth as a result, all the gbs reunited for a plan, the bust through the street to get to the site, the Ectobuster, the evil entity, the fight against it, the help of venkman and the spirit world, the ending of the ghostbusters company and the opening of the GB museum to remember what they've done for our world. Well, a concept turning like that.
So no Oscar (or put only his name in the credits). No Dana / Venkman affair, marriage or anything. No Spotlight on anyone. We know the characters, no need to slow on them and their recruits.
If the ghostbusters have new technology, the original tools should stay the basic. Why not some add-on like we see in the new game, it's great becose it respect the original design. But no slimeblower, it's too dangerous; you can't keep a slime positivly charged for long.
I like the dead of venkman idea. But I don't like venkman to return already, talkin bout what the outer side is, his frustration, etc. I dont like the gb searchin for a way to bring him back. They're no gods, they can't open another univers, they can only be interractive with phenomenons that are occuring. I know, alot won't agree, but I prefer to see them do this in the cartoon only.
And openin a parallal univers to bring back Venkman will collapse all the others on themselves; to substract an element of a logical structure, which is chained with others who depend on the same elements, is the last thing to do when I think about it.
If there's gonna be any reporters, just make a quick scene where they ask a question or where they follow ecto1. But after all the paranormal activity the world saw, I think reporters would prefer to cover a civil war instead of taking the risk of being haunted for the rest of their life.
Also, the grim reaper idea was not only used in FamilyGuy but in the StoryTeller; one had a bag and he captured the dead, nobody died and they asked the man to release it so they can be free at last from this world.
Well, that's it. I know, it's not realy good but it's not bad I think… well I hope my english wasn't too bad on that one.

Water becomes slime, animals turn into dangerous creatures, what had life lives again (optionnal), waves of negative energy give birth to new ghosts while others rule already the area; never before soo many ghostbusters were seen advancing in the street using soo much power; from the sky, they are like ants, spiting particle beams everywhere as they open slowly the road to what was once the maximum security site… where an horde of terrordogs charge them in one nightmarish vision, creating a doubt in the mind of even the most experienced ghostbusters. “We're on the way!” screams a voice through the radio and before the creatures enter inside their rank, the new Ectobuster arrives loaded with the most powerful ectoshield and weapon ever created: a modified military vehicle. Terrordogs are lifted off the ground by multiple particle beams, making the vehicle look like one giant octopus as it moves its large electric tentacles; the terrordogs are droped in the two portable containment units on the back or thrown meters away. Four large units disconnect from the Ectobuster and get into positions to create a strong energy field where the ghostbusters outside take shelter from the ghosts attacks. The six proton packs connected inside the vehicles, which give power to all its systems, are constantly under observation as the ghostbusters approach their ultimate challenge.
What will it be… Gozer again? Vigo again? Both of them? It can also be a new entity who will fusion with the creatures in the surrounding to become the darkest vision ever seen. It can also be the lord of all evil himself.
During the fight against whatever it'll be, the door is wide open to see Venkman appearing to help (if he died). Why not make the ghosts of the terrorists charge against the enemy while at it, it'll be fun to see those wrong persons turning good after they die “Vengence in the name of the Light!”. Ok I forget about the terrorist idea.
Have you see the movie “Excalibur”? At the end, Lancelot arrives at the last second to help Arthur; the great effect of the scene, I think, comes from the fact that you forgot about him. Lets say Egon made the ultimate weapon or has the ultimate artifact to destroy our devil, the only problem is: you need to reach and touch the thing with it. Ectobuster is out, its shield offline, the ghostbusters are on foot, back to back, as they try to push through the energy waves and lightning that our devil casts against them. Their particle beams is concentrated on him, almost ineffective. They often block some of the attacks with the help of lady luck. The ghosts around strikes like mad crows. One ghostbuster falls. They scream to stay togheter under the tidal waves of energy. The heat is sufficiant to make someone collapse. You can't see your feet on the ground in this almost blinding light. A member of the team is striked and disapear. The ghosts around have no mercy. The last ghostbusters believe they're near their enemy but in fact the target is farther; wearing ectogoogle, the member in the back sees his teamates charging the entity in one desperate attempts, he screams “target's too far!” but cannot be heard. The ghosts above elevate to dive for the deathblow when an army of good spirits appears under them to fight back; Peter Venkman's soul is running like the wind through the ghostbusters, grab the artifact/weapon, takes the lead and spear the devil when it was moving for the kill.
A flash follows, everything becomes grey during an instant and a fog fade slowly. The striked ghostbusters lying on the ground start to move and look around. No trace of the ghosts or any paranormal activity. In front, the other members of the team look at themselves.
Ray is shocked - It was Venkman…
Member - He was with us all the time?
Ray looks around him slowly and the sky, and then smiles at the member - Who knows if he's not looking at us right now.
Member - Aren't we supposed to detect it?
Ray pauses and smiles at him again - we never detected this Holy presence above us.
Winston - I guess it explain why it's important to believe.
I also had the funny idea that Egon's invention would collapse this univers on all the others, making them jump back in time to the days they were in the university. The only difference, they study in another domain, they are sucessful and won't be kicked out. In their mind, the shadow of a memory disapear, they look at each other, are about to ask if they have the same feeling, but forget already what they wanted to say. But it's not a realy good ending. The viewers won't understand.
Well that's about it. Gb3 should be about the end of all paranormal activity and the ghostbuster company. Not the team. Gb2 happened becose the source of this activity, what's allowing the spirit world to return in the world of the living, was never vanquish in the first movie. The reason why the ghostbusters are here must end in this one… or we'll always think that Ghostbuster is a normal job, that it is perfectly normal to trap a soul and stop its evolution, and to built another containment unit after another when it's full, poluting the planet with a timebomb at same time, is perfectly normal.
I want no leading role, no main character. All the attention needs to be everywhere: gbhq to ghbq, to CU site, bust in the cities, the news tellin about how the world has gone wrong, people's life getting sick, the race to find a solution before it s too late, the destruction of the CU site, hell on earth as a result, all the gbs reunited for a plan, the bust through the street to get to the site, the Ectobuster, the evil entity, the fight against it, the help of venkman and the spirit world, the ending of the ghostbusters company and the opening of the GB museum to remember what they've done for our world. Well, a concept turning like that.
So no Oscar (or put only his name in the credits). No Dana / Venkman affair, marriage or anything. No Spotlight on anyone. We know the characters, no need to slow on them and their recruits.
If the ghostbusters have new technology, the original tools should stay the basic. Why not some add-on like we see in the new game, it's great becose it respect the original design. But no slimeblower, it's too dangerous; you can't keep a slime positivly charged for long.
I like the dead of venkman idea. But I don't like venkman to return already, talkin bout what the outer side is, his frustration, etc. I dont like the gb searchin for a way to bring him back. They're no gods, they can't open another univers, they can only be interractive with phenomenons that are occuring. I know, alot won't agree, but I prefer to see them do this in the cartoon only.
And openin a parallal univers to bring back Venkman will collapse all the others on themselves; to substract an element of a logical structure, which is chained with others who depend on the same elements, is the last thing to do when I think about it.
If there's gonna be any reporters, just make a quick scene where they ask a question or where they follow ecto1. But after all the paranormal activity the world saw, I think reporters would prefer to cover a civil war instead of taking the risk of being haunted for the rest of their life.
Also, the grim reaper idea was not only used in FamilyGuy but in the StoryTeller; one had a bag and he captured the dead, nobody died and they asked the man to release it so they can be free at last from this world.
Well, that's it. I know, it's not realy good but it's not bad I think… well I hope my english wasn't too bad on that one.

So… the topic “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” is deleted now???? It's a cool way to say ‘thank you’ to all the fans who posted about what gb3 should be over the years. This is a Ghostbusters fans site, no? It even asked the fans about what they liked, their imaginations and interests about the film univers; it's going against the logic to delete the content of what made, in part, this site so popular. The subject is now Ghostbusters 3, isn't it the best way to make it a top seller by reading what the fans wish? You take some of this and some of that, and bake everything during a couple months and you obtain a blockbuster! But the site took the ingredients out of the fridge and what kind of cake will we get without eggs and butter… “Nice glue… is it a family recipe?” The site deserve to have a topic called “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” and the fans deserve to write their ideas about it. Fans ideas make the blood of this website, it can't have too much when it's full of protein/vitamins.
Now you will say that I'm writing this just to allow myself to write what I wish to see in Ghostbusters 3; what was in this topic was soo interesting that it gives you the need to reply about it and share with what other fans have to say! I talked about Ghostbusters since 2003, I'm not interested anymore in repeating what I have already said to same questions again; and I'm the one who said that the more you will talk about ghostbusters the more it will keep it alive; it's soo much alive now that it's running everywhere even the ceiling! I said what I wanted in the new game, I talked about the comic book, but why I can't talk about what I wish to see in the new movie? I'm sure the members here will agree that deleting the topic “What should Ghostbusters III be about?” is a mistake. And I'm sure you will delete my post because I'm right.
Since there's no place anymore to post about this great subject, I guess the ‘Crew Room’ is the right place now. It's like a living room here, sit down, say what you want and enjoy.
…
You realise the topic's still in it's current place, right?
What should Ghostbusters III be about?
You have to tell the forum to display all threads from the beginning.
The reason why it was locked, which is a temporary measure, is to prevent Ghostbusters3willrock from spamming the forum. Once he's gone it'll be unlocked again.

OMG
Please, be easy on the new recruit…. he never studied.
(…and I was wondering why the topic disapeared.)
It's weird how a day seems to come from a different dimension; I made a search in the past in my profile and couldn't find some of my messages. Now, I did the same thing to find them back. I don't know if I clicked only “Find all threads started by” to forgot “Find all posts” or if my forum options was hiding them.
All topics in the gb3 sections are locked or have almost disapeared (with a couple of my suggestions). It must be for a good reason.
Come on, you should have told me :p

I can't believe it! He just finished school, summer is there and my 6years ol nephew… broke his TWO (*2*) ARMS!!! I just received the news around 2am! He was playing in the parc, you know those high bars? He's small for his age but very strong. Always on the move and never tired. He was doing the bars again, around 6pm, and he fell.
Becose of the quality of our hospitals here, low on money becose of the governement/economy, he had to wait SIX (*6*) HOURS before seeing a doctor. The nurses studied him, gave him tylenol. After all the waiting, he had Xrays, the results will come tomorow morning. He's now in his home, with something to prevent him from moving his arms. They will probably make him a plaster (i dont think it's the right word in english, I used google translator) on both arms.
It's RIDICULOUS! and, you know what he told me today, before this happened? “I'm gonna go swin tomorow, and tomorow, and tomorow… everyday of the summer!”
He always beg to go to the parc each day; strangely, today, he wasn't interested, but his parents like to talk with the other parents there, so he followed them. Was life trying to keep him home today to avoid this? BOTH ARMS! Damn it!

Just returned from seeing my nephew. He visited the hospital today around 9am, where he had to wait 5 hours again before they put his two arms in plaster.
We're happy, his elbows are not immobilized and he can hold small things with his hands, well, his fingers. And, lucky him, he received a special type of plaster which allows him to go in the water; it's important to dry it after. No sport for summer, they said, he'll need the plaster for two month (or is it one?).
It's weird how this little guy can bring you back to life. He's amazing; at home, while we were on stress, him was acting like nothing happened. What strenght.
