Peter Aykroyd Puns

Wanting to read Hawksmoor, but it seems pretty difficult to get a physical copy in the States for any sort of reasonable price. Can anyone here point me in the right direction concerning a digital copy?

As some have been putting together, there was a large amount of footage deleted or reshot for GBA, including much more involvement with the original cast.

From people I know who worked on the film, there was a scene shot with Janine and Carrie Coon at the diner, where the beginnings of the original GB’s exposition would have begun after they’d met at the farmhouse.

Janine did indeed take some ‘keepsakes’ from Egon’s farm that she dispersed to the original team throughout the film, including the shocker box that she gifted Peter and Dana, of which they were using in a later scene when they receive the call back to action.

What’s interesting to me are a few gossip rumours from when the film was in production, including that Aykroyd’s Ray Stantz character had gone a little loopy and was living in the upstairs section of the firehouse… this is interesting is because that appears to gel with his appearance at the climax, including his gibberish speech to Gozer (which would explain why Venkman muttered ‘bravo’ — he’s well aware that Ray went a little nuts years before) as well as somehow forgetting how to answer ‘are you a God?’ correctly.

None of those moments make sense with the calm and very mentally-stable version of Aykroyd that we saw earlier in the phone-call scene, but also they couldn’t reshoot the climax, so they had no choice but to leave in two VERY different takes on Ray Stantz.

Aykroyd’s exposition dump phonecall scene was almost certainly a late-stage reshoot to plug all the holes left after Reitman decided to cut all of the OGBs scenes. It seems like everything Ray Stantz explained would likely have been shown in the scenes that the original actors were in — and in doing this reshoot, it was decided to not have Aykroyd be as loopy as his original character’s trajectory looked to be at the final climax of the film.

I’m hopeful we get a longer cut of the film with the OGBs scenes reinstated. Janine as the throughline to the actors, dropping off mementos from Egon, was a great narrative device, and now that we have footage showing Janine onset for other scenes, including the farmhouse showdown at the end of the film, it really makes me hope we can see a more in-depth film with our favorite characters featured more prominently.

I've been a fan of RLM for years, and I'm beginning to see something unfolding here. It seems to me that because Ghostbusters was such a prolific film to Mike and Rich, it basically permeated into their lives and became their reality. I'll detail my pieces of evidence.

1. Schlubby guys start their own business, trying to get rich off of doing something sensational. (Filmmakers/enthusiasts want to expand further than guns for hire, and choose the sensational internet and youtube to attempt their luck at "Pop Culture Payoff".)
2. Intention of business is to handle the paranormal by capturing them, studying them, and giving explanation, and the eventual greenlight to the public. (Watch potentially terrible films, both modern and old alike; give takes, potential hilarious anecdotes, and ultimately breakdown how things failed, or where things could be improved, through a simplistic film analysis even a guy like William Shakesman would approve of.)
3. Each fall into their very specific archetypes of the Ghostbusters original 4:
   1. Mike is very much Egon Spengler/Harold Ramis, as he is the most knowledgeable when it comes to the scientific and nerdy stuff. He has loads of facts on hand, and seems to be a bit out there every so often. He draws up technical analysis in the form of the ancient art of handwriting, and I'm sure the pieces of paper he has that are "printed" are actually from a word processor.
   2. Jay seems to be more of the Peter Venkman/Bill Murray. A dark, cynical asshole. Loves horror and psychological genres, weird fetishes (ROLL AROUND ON THE GROUND!) and maintains quite the charming personality. While he is hilarious in his own right, he still points out objective analysis, and brings the glaring things to the forefront. See Ghostbusters "Dickless" joke, both in the film and the "Re:View".
   3. Rich Evans is Ray Stantz/Dan Aykroyd. The guy who is an eccentric genius hidden behind an eccentric buffoon. Basically, he knows stupid.
   4. Essentially all of the other cast members of all their shows and segments are Winston Zeddemore/Ernie Hudson. They are the everyday working class schlubb doing their part, as long as there is a steady paycheck in it. Could be anyone... And as a sidenote, I always found Winston's last name unique, and I offer a small theory. Zed is the English way of saying Z, and it tends to get used in zombie films to label the undead. Maybe it's Zed More, like more zombies, going with the paranormal vibe? I dunno... Maybe s

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
