'Ghostbusters' Reimagined As Silent Movie (VIDEO)

Who you gonna call? Sorry, make that "Whom shall you telegram?" The commercial from "Ghostbusters" has been awesomely reimagined as a silent film, complete with a silent film-y piano playing the classic theme song. So for all your supernatural elimination needs, we've got "The League Of S.T.E.A.M" - the Supernatural and Troublesome Ectoplasmic Apparation Management. Obviously. (via Boing Boing)

And check out the original below to see how closely they nailed it.

Nicely done but the jittery effect was overdone.

I recently was in NYC and visited the actual firehouse. It was a dream come true.

For those intersted, it is in Tribeca, and is about a 20 min walk from the Chinatown subway entrance off the 4,5,6

What do you mean, "how they nailed it"?! First, the "original" is just three people standing in front of a stationary camera--what is there to "nail"? Second, all they did is replace the dialog with inserts. This is so uninteresting, I must be reading HP!

LOVED that movie as a kid. The scene with the rogue soda machine still cracks me up.

League of Steam would be a good band name.
