A must have for your film collection

This film is still funny despite its age and no matter how many times you watch it. The dialogue is snappy and the comedy priceless.

Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.

I enjoy watching Game 7 over again and again. This has been a long long time coming. The bluray has all 7 WS games rather than just the documentary. No doubt I will be watching this many times over.

Speedy transfers
on December 3, 2016
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a large capacity USB drive to move files between computers and to expand the amount of storage for a Samsung tablet. It is much easier to carry your music and vids on a thumb drive rather than rely on cloud based solutions. The USB 3 drive rapidly transfers files between computers but there is no speed advantage for Android phones and tablets. The additional storage allows me to carry videos and music while saving my SD card for other things. A large capacity thumb drive is necessary since most tablets and phones do not provide a lot of storage. You can change thumb drives faster than you can change SD cards. And storage is the biggest reason why I don't buy and Ipad or Iphone.

Extra storage for a tablet or phone
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was on sale when I purchased this card for use in my tablet. I use it mainly for documents and music so I cannot say if it meets expectations for video. But the price was right so I recommend this for extra storage, particularly the Samsung tablets since they cannot address any card over 200 GB.

The best keyboard for Samsung tablet
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
The tablet easily snaps into the case and connects through Bluetooth. It doesn't draw a lot of power and can be used for a laptop replacement if you are looking for a light duty alternative. It needs to be charged before using it and the charge lasts a long time if you are not using it for long periods. The tablet battery will lose its charge a lot faster than this keyboard so you won't have to worry about it going out at an inopportune time.

A tablet that won't break the bank
on October 22, 2016
Posted by: MikePags2
from Morton Grove, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This tablet is a great alternative to a pricey Ipad. You can do most everything that an Ipad can do and better. The best feature is the ability to add storage. An Ipad has limited storage unless you are willing to pay the price of a laptop and that defeats the purpose for buying a tablet. I recommend this as a low cost alternative to any Ipad.

Easy upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this to replace an internal card because the driver was a problem for Win 10. It took more time to pull the internal card out than to install the new one. Install the software and just plug in the USB connection, preferably USB 3 if your computer has one. Transfer speeds are great.

Need a wireless adapter, have a dell pc. What is the best for using internet on a different computer?

What is the best wireless adapter for a dell pc owner who has another computer with the internet router (with wifi) and wants the best internet connection available at Best Buy.
Just find any wireless N or AC USB adapter to plug into a USB slot. The connection is dependent on the wifi range and the location of the computer so there is no "best" adapter.

does it work with my blueray dvd player that's compatible with wifi?

I have a blue-ray player that requires wired Internet cable for Internet connection. However,we don't have cable plug-in in my house. So can I use a USB wireless adapters to connect it with the wifi in my house?
I found a small wireless adapter that had an ethernet plug connection. But you cannot use a regular wireless adapter to connect unless you have a slot in the dvd player for such a connection.

Is it possible to use a second wireless router as a wired Ethernet connection?

I recently had DSL installed and unfortunately I could not have it installed in the room I would have liked because AT&T wanted $140 to install a new phone jack. The area I wanted to install in needs 3 ethernet ports accessible.

With my dsl and router in another room, would it be possible to buy a second router, place it in the room with my devices, tie it into the existing network and use it as an ethernet hub?
There are wireless routers/gateways you can link to the main one, but I found it has slower download speeds on the internet than a direct or wireless connection through the main router.
