Christmas Carol-cember, Day 17

Of all the 80s films that have become a franchise, I’m surprised Ghostbusters even had one with such longevity that extended outside the Reagan-era "business ventures that provide a service but is being held back by environmental regulation."

A movie born out of Dan Aykroyd’s personal interest in the supernatural and to co-star with his SNL buddy, Jim Belushi, “Ghostbusters” was truly the film that beat the odds set against it considering the lack of faith from the studio heads as it grossed over $200 million in 1984 and became a pop culture juggernaut with toys, movie sequels, comic books, video games and animated television shows.

Course that’s not much if you consider Robocop, The Toxic Avenger and Rambo got their own animated TV series in the 80s and their franchises haven’t exactly had the same longevity of popularity like Ghostbusters. When the fifth movie came out this year yet the Toxic Avenger remake shows no signs of being released and the other two licenses show no interest in being revisited, clearly Ghostbusters got what the hip kids call “that special sauce.”

So it should come to no surprise that the company responsible for creating these kid-friendly versions of movies that were aimed for older viewers was DIC Entertainment, the same folks behind the 1997 Tim Curry film I covered last week. In the case of today’s outing, “The Real Ghostbusters” (called such over a title dispute with Filmation’s “The Ghost Busters”) was recorded in Los Angeles under joint operation by Columbia Pictures Television with Coca-Cola Telecommunications funding the distribution. But typical of DIC, they shipped the storyboards, scripts, vocal performances and music over to their Japanese HQ and handed over to studios TMS and Toei to put the episodes together before returning them to the Unites States for airing. Though more often than not, DIC would outsource the work to South Koreans studios to do the work for a lower cost, a practice that continues to this day. Which one is hard to pin down as they weren’t credited and all most fans have to go on is speculation.

Regardless of who animated what, ABC aired this episode on December 13, 1986 with the title “Xmas Marks the Spot.” One that also plays on the Dickens tale with their own twist to the narrative.

It’s Christmas Eve in New York City, but for the Ghostbusters, it’s another work day as they return from a countryside haunting during a snow storm. When their car stalls and they walk out to get help, the four are transported to 1840s London where they spot an old man being attacked by ghosts. Stepping in with good intentions, though only assuming the town is just some old fashioned historical commune, the four bust the ghosts, only to be coldly reprimanded by the old man with a “Humbug.” They return home to discover everyone hates Christmas and the best selling book is an anti-Christmas manifesto written by one Ebenezer Scrooge (Peter Renaday). Realizing their mistake too late after the captured ghosts are placed in the Containment Field, the four have to work together to try and save Christmas. Egon Spengler (Maurice LaMarche) dons a special suit and enters the Containment Field to locate the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future while Winston Zeddemore (Arsenio Hall), Ray Stanz (Frank Welker) and an equally scroogey Peter Venkman (Lorenzo Music) return to the past with technology to try and haunt Scrooge themselves as they take on the roles of the three ghosts until Egon can return. For if they fail, Christmas will forever be a Humbug…

This episode has all the feel of a Saturday Morning Cartoon.

Limited animation, big goofy expressions with a comical sidekick who babbles and characters talking to one another in ways that feel like the writers wanting to impart a “lesson of the day.”

That said, I applaud the writers for getting creative with the premise.

When you establish these guys hunt ghosts, why wouldn’t they immediately bust some ghosts haunting Scrooge without a second thought?

That part is hilarious and still retains the goofiness that defined the Ghostbusters.

I’ll even extend praise to the vocal cast playing the characters. Maurice LaMarche, best known for his stellar Orson Welles impression, does a solid job capturing the flat monotone of Harold Ramis while spewing pseudo-science. Frank Welker’s Ray sounds more like a child-like Fred from Scooby-Doo, but he sells it. Arsenio Hall’s Winston has his moments of wit and he really shines when he pretends to be the Ghost of Christmas Present. Then there’s Lorenzo Music as Peter Venkman, who certainly pairs his lucid tones to match the sarcastic wit of Bill Murray while also showing some depth of feeling when he takes on the role of the Ghost of Christmas Past and his attempts to teach Scrooge how his rough past forms his present causes Venkman to see a parallel between each other.

Also, cause I know it will be brought up if not mentioned, yes, Lorenzo Music was also the voice of Garfield for the cartoon series and then Bill Murray was Garfield for the 2004 movie.

That hot take is as old as as the Numa Numa video.

“The Real Ghostbusters: Xmas Marks The Spot” has a few moments of inspiration, but it’s buried in the same trappings as was present in most 80s cartoons around this time. But that’s not to say the people who worked on it didn’t give their heart into the project, the voice cast clearly commits to the bit, I like that the writers were able to use the one Ghostbuster who doesn’t like Christmas to find the merit in good tidings by finding a parallel with his own past to learn his own lesson and the idea of regular people having to step in to serve as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future using modern technology was amusing and original. Its corner-cutting animation is ultimately what keeps it from rising above a passive recommendation, but certainly worth saying that it showcases what made this show popular.

That and toys based on the show. Cause who doesn’t want their own proton pack?

“The Real Ghostbusters: Xmas Marks the Spot” can be purchased on YouTube, Amazon and AppleTV. But you can also watch the full episode for free on YouTube with the link down below.

Next time, we’re headed to Gotham City as it seems the Batmobile lost it’s wheels and the Joker got away.

Churchill Square, Edmonton (No. 2)

Churchill Square (officially "Sir Winston Churchill Square") is the main downtown square in Edmonton, Alberta, which plays host to a large number of festivals and events including: the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival, Edmonton Fashion Week, The Works Art & Design Festival, Taste of Edmonton, Cariwest, and Edmonton Pride.

It is bordered on the north by 102A Avenue, on the west by 100 Street, on the south by Harbin Road (102 Avenue) and on the east by Rue Hull (99) Street. In 2009, 102A Avenue was closed to vehicle traffic permanently, providing easier pedestrian access to City Hall.

Surrounding the square are several cultural and governmental buildings, including Edmonton City Hall to the north, the Law Courts and the Art Gallery of Alberta to the north-east, Chancery Hall and the Francis Winspear Centre for Music to the east, the Citadel Theatre to the south-east, the Stanley A. Milner Library (the main branch of Edmonton Public Library) to the south and Edmonton City Centre mall to the west.

The centrepiece of the square builds a life-size bronze statue of Churchill, unveiled by Lady Soames on May 24, 1989. It is a copy of a statue made by Oscar Nemon.

Historically, Edmonton's main square was Market Square, located just to the south of Churchill Square, on the site of the present Milner Library. The City Market was housed in Market Square from its beginning in 1900, originally with the market happening outdoors. Successive plans were considered to develop the square into a civic centre, beginning in 1912. A building was built far away on 107 Avenue for the market to be moved indoors in November 1914, but was never used for this purpose and was boycotted by vendors and customers. The market returned to its original location and the city agreed to help construct a shelter. Beginning in 1915 the market was moved indoors, and by 1920 only overflow stalls were outside. From 1916, when the shelter was built, to 1965, when it moved off the site, the market flourished as the hub of Edmonton life. The City Market was finally shifted east to 97 Street, and the area was redeveloped according to a plan to create a "civic centre" in the area by constructing the new art gallery and library to accompany the new city hall which had been built in 1957.

In 1969, Lillian Shirt drew national media attention for protesting housing discrimination by erecting a tipi on the square. During the protest, which lasted 12 days, was joined by several others who set up tents and an additional tipi.

Churchill Square has undergone several face-lifts, the most recent, expensive, and most controversial, being completed in 2004, in time for Edmonton's Centennial Celebrations. These renovations saw the removal of a large amount of green space, as well as the building of several new structures in the square including an amphitheatre, a waterfall, as well as several structures for retail space (currently occupied by the Three Bananas Cafe and Tix on the Square).

Although Churchill Square is not the name of any street in Edmonton, and all the streets in the area are named, the square is used as the address for buildings facing it, they are numbered clockwise starting in the north.

Here are my ideas for ‘Ace Attorney 7’ (aka “Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney”), which will consist of 6 cases:

1)Athena is the main protagonist, while Pearl serves as her assistant

2)Bring back Gumshoe, Franziska, Iris and the 'Investigations' characters

3)Upgrade the Mood Matrix by adding new emotions and functions

4)Contain anime cutscenes

5)Gumshoe is the detective, Franziska is the main prosecutor and Winston is the tutorial prosecutor

6)Forensic science segments with Ema

7)Add new game mechanics

8)Cross examine multiple witnesses at the same time

9)Tie up all loose ends and mysteries

10)A main villain who challenges Athena’s morality and resolve like never before

11)Contain full voice acting

P.S.

1)The names in the hashtags below are the characters who will appear in ‘Ace Attorney 7’.

2)I ship Phoenix x Iris, Gumshoe x Miles, Larry x Maya, Adrian x Franziska, Eddie x Katherine, Klavier x Ema, Eustace x Kay, Apollo x Athena and Simon x Nahyuta.

3)After his attempted murder, Phoenix starts suffering from PTSD and mental illness.

My pitch for Athena Cykes Ace Attorney. Been sitting on these pieces for a while and I don't think I'll end up going back to work on them, so here they are...

I think the dynamic between these four could kill. Maybe literally.

The Arrival of Prosecutor von Karma

Bonus... Fran and Ema. The prosecutor and her irritating detective.
