You know, the guy they stuck in there to bring an element of reality to the action in the movie. Remember how many times he was like, "What the shit's going on? How is this possible?" Every story needs its skeptic turned bewildered believer. He's sort of a refreshing presence when juxtaposed with the whackadoo parapsychologists.<br /><br />The fact that he's a person of color could have been an afterthought. "Hey, we need this peripheral character. Why not stick a black guy in the bunch to try and even out the white-dominated cast?"<br /><br />But then, I'm probably just making excuses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672515173999750909.post-67549823260520360132013-02-18T12:10:40.169+00:002013-02-18T12:10:40.169+00:00Well now, there's something else we have in co...Well now, there's something else we have in common (although I had to look up Egon.)<br /><br />The one thing that bothers me slightly is that the fourth member of the team - Ernie - seems to be a bit 'peripheral.' He's also black. I hope there isn't a connection.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069822009799120415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672515173999750909.post-28215885000200261062013-02-18T11:36:44.797+00:002013-02-18T11:36:44.797+00:00I saw Ghostbusters II for the first time when I wa...I saw Ghostbusters II for the first time when I was three, in '93. Instantly, I was enamored and have watched both films so many times over the years. Still, to this day, I love those Egon-like science types.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
