I love how Egon's all: "OMNOMNOMNOM!" in the background.

I think they ended up kind of downplaying the sweet tooth thing in the final cut of the movie compared to the novelisation.

That and the Egon/Janine budding romance (which was then nixed by Ramis for GBII). *shakes fist* Oh well, we still get the huge-ass smile and off-frame hand grabbing during the end credits.

Also not in the movie, alas, is Janine standing next to Ecto and waving sweetly at Peck as marshmallow lands on him but not her.

Ramis not liking the E/J thing is his prerogative and all, but Louis Tully? REALLY??? What did she ever do to him? :P

Hahaha, Janine rocks! I love her so much!

I love Ramis to death but... yeah. He should have let Aykroyd have his way with that. Egon and Janine were supposed to get married (in Vegas, with Tully as their witness, ROFL) towards the end of an early draft of the script, LOL. What would have happened if that would have been the produced version?

I'm a professional paper-pusher... Janine is my hero. =>

...wut.

Well, it might have taken some of the fun out of RGB. =)

I work in data entry, not that far removed from secretary/receptionist, in a way, haha!

It might have... since half the fun is watching Janine go after Egon, while he's 100% clueless. Even if the romance had been up to the level of the novelization, it would have taken some fun out of the series, I think. Or their relationship dynamics would have been more along the lines of (possibly awkward) dating, and less her hinting and him being all O.o???

WWJMD? (Probably something that would get you fired or at least reprimanded, but it's fun to imagine just the same.)

He's so cute when he's all O.o. Makes me think of "Rollerghoster," but isn't that the one where he informs Peter that "It wasn't a daaAAAte," in the same silly tone Peter used?

It would have changed the initial background of Extreme Ghostbusters fairly significantly, too; though in many ways EGB only directly referenced the movie, not RGB, aside from character stuff and... like... its very existence.

Hahahahaha! For real!

I had to re-watch "Rollerghoster" actually, because my English wasn't so great when I used to watch RGB, haha. And yes, he does inform Peter that "It wasn't a daaAAAte" in that tone. Not that he doesn't look pleased whenever she's clinging to him or complimenting him... *cough* Their date, or whatever it was, was about as funny as when she dragged him to her parents' in that other episode I don't remember the title of.

I haven't really seen much of EGB, and I'm not that fond of what I've seen of it. And since everything was written by different people, the movies, RGB and EGB sometime feel like AUs compared to each other.

Heh, that one was "Janine's Day Off" with the big ugly red hand-demon.

Yeah, EGB seems completely divorced from RGB except for the final two-part episode, which is a little bizarre.

I watched a five-minute clip of the RGB episode "Night Game" on YouTube the other day and even that little bit was kind of depressing because it reminded me how good the series was at the beginning, and how absolutely soul-crushingly AWFUL it was by the end. (I watched the entire box set, even the Slimer! episodes.)
