So it happened that I saw the trailer of another Ghostbusters movie and I remembered that I have a Netflix account (because I really wanted to see One Piece Live Action and I liked it a lot!) and that there is Ghostbusters Legacy and I remembered that didn't have it seen yet. I'll be honest and sincere, I didn't like it. Yet I am a fan, consider that I saw the first film on VHS when I was 8 years old in 1985 and the second at the cinema, as soon as it came out, and I saw them every time they were shown on TV even though I had the VHS... and when I had Netflix for the first time in my life... it was the first film I looked for and saw, in the original language (I know it by heart in Italian). But I'm not here to tell you why I didn't like it, it's too long to explain why. I'm here to tell you that although I didn't like it, I watched it carefully, only once and it will remain that way, because I am an attentive spectator ^_^

In one scene Ray is on the phone and although the room was dark and I only had to pay attention to him and the dialogue, I noticed the Wheel Of Fortune tarot card that I recently designed on commission for Generic Phoenix! And it was surprising, because the size of the paper is exactly the same as my drawing...why is it hanging there? Is this a sign that I'm going to be lucky? XD Let's hope!

Then, for a few seconds, I saw the only noteworthy ghost in the movie, the 80s Kenner BUG-EYE Ghost toy! OMG! Those few seconds of appearance are the only thing that exalted me and made me truly happy about the movie, LOL! XD Because although the film is filled with sequential, repetitive, banal and obvious cameos, sometimes even annoying for this reason... THAT was the coolest cameo for me, because I thought only a child of the 80s could notice and appreciate it. As a child, I really envied this toy from my cousin, who never wanted to give it to me, even though he didn't like it very much. A few years ago I met him at his wedding and asked him "Do you still have that ghost with the eye?" and he said "Yes, in the cellar" and I said "Give it to me" and he said "No". I hate my cousin so much.
