Daily Dose of Awesome: Ghostbusters re-release

Back in 2011, there was a very limited theatrical re-release of my all time favorite movie, Ghostbusters.  I was intent on going, but circumstances prevented me from being able to do so.  Fast forward three years and the studios decided to mark the 30th anniversary of the film's release by giving it a limited theatrical run.

Unlike the previous re-release, this one was significantly more flexible.  There are more showings, it's showing at more theaters, and the run seems to be a bit longer.  At the very least, the days are consecutive as opposed to just being open for one day a week for three weeks in a row.

Having missed the last run, I made a point to venture out to the local theater to catch the flick on the big screen and it was all I could have hoped for.  Hearing Gozer issue its ultimatum has a lot more umph in Dolby surround sound and the immense size of the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is better displayed on a theater screen.

I was happy that I was able to make it out this time around.  It would have been a shame if I had missed another opportunity to see the film in all it's glory.  If you get a chance, I would definitely recommend making the trip out to see the classic.  It is definitely worth the 8 bucks.
