--But first, more peer-created "Where the Wild Things Are" art! The movie's official We Love You So blog has been supporting a Crailtap contest asking for imaginative Photoshop work-ups of "Wild Things" art in pop culture imagery. The results have been impressive, to say the least. (We Love You So)

--This next one comes compliments of MTV Movies Blog reader Rebekah Burgess. I love myself some "Ghostbusters." It's a bonafide classic, and it's set in a New York City that doesn't really exist anymore. Not that you'd be able to tell by simply comparing the locations. A pair of new posts on Scouting New York show a series of "then & now" photos -- movie stills compared with current-day locations -- from "Ghostbusters," with appropriate commentary. It's fantastic; I urge you all to click through and see for yourselves. (Scouting New York (Part 1) and Scouting New York (Part 2)) Read more...

"Ghostbusters" is pretty much the best that movies get, at least from where I'm sitting. I've always been up front about my undying passion for "Star Wars" here on MTV Movies Blog, but "Ghostbusters" is one of the tens of flicks that fit comfortably into the second place spot on my all-time favorites list.

I should be clear before we continue that today's eBay Prop-Watch showcases an item which is not in fact a prop. It is a replica. A really, really freaking cool replica. I don't think I'll be ponying up the cash to add this particular item to my collection, but that doesn't detract in the slightest from the fact that some massive fan crafted this beautiful thing by hand. Bustin' does indeed make me feel good, but whoever this item's creator is, it undoubtedly makes him/her feel better. Read more...

Anyone who calls themselves a fan of the seminal 1984 supernatural comedy should immediately know what I'm talking about. After getting their first big break, the ghost-busting trio appear on television to advertise their wares in what's become one of the most classic parts of the iconic film.

Now fans can hear the commercial's backstory with a brand new extra on the Blu-ray edition of "Ghostbusters," which hit store this week. Check it out below as director Ivan Reitman and his colleagues take you inside the scene.

Great comedy doesn’t necessitate a great plot. All it needs to have is a solid premise and interesting characters to succeed. Heck, sometimes it’s even funnier when things don’t make sense. "Year One" director and co-writer Harold Ramis’ storied career proves the rule. The man’s early films, made in the wake of his stint as head writer on Canada's “Second City TV” sketch comedy series, could barely sustain a narrative thread. They were nonetheless brilliant, their narratives fueled by manic energy, killer one-liners and a hearty nostalgic spirit. Picking the best is no easy task, so instead look at this list as a beginner's guide to some of the most well-written comedies of our time. Read more...

Blu-ray ain’t afraid of no ghosts. The budding hi-def format has scored one of the most anticipated releases of the year in “Ghostbusters,” and fans of the 1984 supernatural comedy couldn’t be happier to plunk down cash this Tuesday when the new special edition hits store shelves.

You can add another voice to the cheerful chorus: Ivan Reitman, who directed the iconic film and its 1989 sequel. MTV’s Josh Horowitz recently caught up with Reitman to discuss his film’s arrival on Blu-ray, how “Ghostbusters” was originally slated to be a space-faring epic, and the latest on plans for a third outing. Read on, and be sure to head after the jump for more of this week’s releases. Read more...

Let’s first clear up what a “family-friendly” horror movie is. Clearly, you’re not going to want to show this stuff to squeamish little siblings if it’s just going to scar them. Unless it’s part of your plan of course, but that’s your own business. Sam Raimi’s “Drag Me To Hell,” out this week, has been designated by the MPAA as kosher for all human Americans aged 13 and older. From what I hear, it’s also a hella scary ride.

Director Sam Raimi is very good at capturing disturbing imagery on film. Stuff that just doesn’t quite look right. There’s his “Evil Dead” series of course. And the hard-to-find classic “Crimewave” (written by Ethan and Joel Coen) is filled with twisted absurdity. Even “Spider-Man” had its share of chilling imagery and occasional jump scares. Raimi’s not the only one out there who’s interested in scaring children however. Check out these other examples of family friendly horror flicks.

To quote the always-shrill Janine Melnitz, "We've got one!" After years of fan speculation and incorrect rumors, it looks like "Ghostbusters 3" is finally moving forward. And we're not talking about the upcoming video game. "Ghostbusters" star Dan Aykroyd, who along with Harold Ramis has been very much involved with the aforementioned game, said that there is a genuine third film in the works.

"I think we're going to be in production fairly soon," Aykroyd told the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex blog. "We could be in production by winter."

Aykroyd has been championing a third "Ghostbusters" flick for quite some time, and he's finally been able to motivate previous cast members to sign up for another tour. Even the normally cagey Bill Murray will join the fray, despite years of gossip that blamed him for stalling a third outing. Aykroyd defended his fellow actor, saying that the blame lies on several sets of shoulders. Read more...

It's been god knows how many years, but we're finally getting our long-awaited "Ghostbusters 3." Kind of. "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" has been described as the third film in the iconic franchise and if its opening cinematic is any indication, that's an apt label.

Starting off with museum security guards facing down Gozer, it quickly transitions to the opening credits. "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" hits store shelves on June 16 for all consoles.

Last month, Harold Ramis told MTV that the old crew from "Ghostbusters" has been abuzz with plans to reunite for a long-awaited third movie. Sigourney Weaver said she would be ready to return, and Bill Murray suggested bringing on a new female Ghostbuster. Now, in addition to provoking hopes for the film, Ramis' words are sparking unexpected predictions that the original cast members from the first two movies will be on board -- including mostly-retired actor Rick Moranis.

"Everybody said they'd do it," Ramis told Entertainment Weekly, who listed Moranis alongside Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray as locks come back "They’ll be looking at younger actors [for the lead roles], I’m sure. But we’ll be in it as mentors or advisers." Read more...

Sure we get pop stars and movie stars dropping by the MTV News offices day in and day out but it's a rare treat to get a visit from an honest to goodness Ghostbuster! Heads turned as we walked Harold Ramis through our halls. The actor/writer/director was chatting with us primarily about his forthcoming Jack Black/Michael Cera comedy, "Year One," but he was kind enough to give us a "Ghostbusters 3" (or whatever they end up calling it) update as well.

No first draft yet, said Ramis. But he and Aykroyd are consulting and yes, the original Ghostbusters are all in. Even Bill Murray. Ramis joked that the enigmatic actor is "just waiting for the truckload of money to arrive to get him out of his office." Ramis also talked about who might direct the film and what sort of roles we can expect for the original gang. Check out our full "Ghostbusters" update here.
