I doubt that he refused to let them use the video. I'm sure he has no say in the matter, especially since Huey Lewis sued his ass off for stealing the melody from "I Want a New Drug".

Huey sued but they settled out of court. The in 2001, Ray Parker sued Huey for break of confidentiality when Huey talked about the original lawsuit on Behind the Music.

Wait! Wasn't it COLUMBIA who announced a grand new Special Edition of ANNIE...? Look what they gave us. I'd adopt a wait-and-see stance on this. What we really NEED before we get another GHOSTBUSTERS (which was good to begin with) is one truly decent release of OLIVER! and A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS and 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD and THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER, etc.

i thought ray parker jr. sued huey for stealing the beat? i guess not

Huh. That's weird, since "I Want A New Drug" came out in summer 1984 and Ghostbusters premiered on 8 June 1984 - both right around the same time.

Since the movie and song would have been in production for at least a year before then, it seems most likely that it was just a coincidence.

And am I the only one not really hearing the similarity?

I'll stick with the current release as I'm not a huge fan.

Fyi...Superbits of 1 and 2 coming in Japan.

Were any of you successful in loading this? The damn rollingstone.com script keeps bouncing me to the first page :(

Anyway, I would double dip on this providing there's lots of new extras and less annoying menus. I love this movie. Takes me back, I guess.

See if Google's cached version works for you

Just curious if this new Ghostbusters 20th Anniversary Edition is still a go. I don't see any listing for it on Amazon and it was supposed to come this month. Was it pushed back? I would think they would want it out in time for Halloween. Anybody have any news on this?

I dont even think it was announced beyond the first post.... I havent heard anything from anyone since then.

Close this thread. There is no new edition.

I'm keeping my originals that I got for really cheap. :D

New Edition Lives!

This thread was saved. It was very close, folks. So close.

BOBBY BROWN SAVES ALL THREADS!

Every 5 years I guess we get a fill-in-the-number anniversary edition of just about any movie that has some renown. I'll pass on this one as well.
