Just wanted to share a fascinating website I came across the other day called "The Shippers Manifesto" ...great Egon/Janine links...

http://community.livejournal.com/ship_m ... ne+melnitz

But really got me was this paragraph...

Making Ghostbusters, written by Don Shay. Originally published in 1984, this book contains the original script for the first Ghostbusters movie, as well as an alternate ending that was never filmed. The original ending included Janine and Egon running off to Las Vegas to get married. I highly recommend this book to any Ghostbusters fan—even if you might have to either sell your house or your soul to find and afford it. It is very rare.

I haven't heard about this before...has anyone else? Nor have I seen it mentioned on any other message board or E/J discussion...anybody actually read this script, or the book, or hear of this in any other capacity?

Sorry if it's old news, but it's new news to me. :|

It's mention at Spook Central, in the section about the Third Draft (July 6, 1983)

INT. A LAS VEGAS WEDDING CHAPPEL

Spengler and Janine are getting married in a very tacky nuptial parlor. Louis Tully is the witness. Spengler looks preoccupied, Janine looks very happy. She kisses Spengler and Louis throws some rice on them.


Irony points for having Louis be the witness, especially considering what they had him doing to that character badly impersonating Janine in the movie sequel.

*dry heave* ...don't remind me...

It sorta irks me (okay, I'm being kind...it really pisses me off) that weeeeeeeeeeeeee seem to have more interest in maintaining the integrity and consistency of the characters than the actual writers of the film did...there's something wrong with that...I guess that's why fanfiction was created... 8-)

I didn't know that people didn't know that. Sorry I would have said something. Its the only reason I dropped 60 buck on the book. I just had to read it myself. I wish they had of...

Wait... WHAT? They were going to marry? In Vegas?

Were there any other scenes in the first script that hinted E/J were going that way - or was that planed as a joke at the end? You see the chappel and think its Peter and Dana only to find out its Egon and Janine.

If only the book weren't so damm expansive...

Its more like an epilogue they wrote for the movie, just little snapshots of the future, Dana and Peter's scene is them at an apartment living together, Ray goes back to the fort to visit the ghost he met there (another deleted scene) and Winston gets out of a limo in front of the new GBI headquarters in an expensive suit.

In other words it's the "and the all lived happily ever after" moment. It was cute.

I guess you don't know about Egon staring at Janine's clavicles either, lol ;)

You should know that my only response to this was an evil laugh.

It's good to have on hand though. I never once regretted buying mine.

I paid way to much for Legion, I can pay way to much for this (and still be happy). At least I can get it via amazon and don't have to drag my family through the country (my mum could tell you stories about a certain Janine Actionfigure :roll: )

And after this draft, all I have to say about GBII is: way Harold, way?

Okay Okay, Stop pulling on my arm guys-- here's what you want to see, directly from the book. :D

This is an aside comment in the book next to this scene:

" Dialogue between Janine and Spengler was shot as written. Janine's first speech was eventually cut into the film before Venkman's phone call, but the remainder of the scene was deleted. "
----------
Janine (worried)
Egon, there's something very strange about that man.

(she indicates Louis)
I'm very psychic usually and right now I have this terrible feeling that something awful is going to happen to you. I'm afraid you're going to die.

Spengler
Die in what sense?

Janine
In the physical sense.

Spengler
I don't care. I see us as tiny parts of a vast organism, like two bacteria living on a rotting speck of dust floating in an infinite void.

Janine
That's so romantic.

She hugs him. Spengler responds awkwardly, not sure where to put his hands.

Spengler (nervous)
You have nice clavicles.
(he gulps)
I wonder where Stantz is, I think we're going to need him.
----------

The next scene was the Fort scene that got cut, this is where Ray and Winston were coming back from in the scene where they were crossing the bridge talking about the Bible.


So why did they cut this you ask? Well that was discussed ealier in the book.

" Though the script suggests a secondary love interest between the romantically-inclined Janine and the blissfully out-of-it Spengler, the budding relationship is barely in evidence in the film's cut."

Harlod Ramis-"Most of the Janine and Spengler scenes were shot but, ultimately, their romance was not really close enough to the crux of the film for us to spend a lot of time on it. I think (oh the irony in his not grasping the enormity of this) the audience got a slight hint that there was something going on between them and that was enough (for 7,999 fanfics, lol)."

And that is love... when you find that kind of technobabble romantic ;)

And yes Harold, we got the picture... until you had to do GBII.
Still moire stuff woud've been nice (yes, I'm that greedy :twisted: )

Pardon me for a second, I need to vent:

W. T. F?

Quote:

Yet they had plenty of time for that sleazy Janine/Louis burlesque show, which had even less to do with the "crux" of the movie--since neither of the parties involved were actually the title characters--in the sequel :roll: :hurl:

[/vent/

All this time and I can't believe I still haven't worked in some sort of clavicle joke somewhere in a story. :P

Why the hell would anyone want to spend over $60 on a book to read about a tacky Vegas wedding between Egon and Janine when there's an amazing and much better-written story on this website where Egon and Janine get married, and it's free! :roll:

I'll even give you the link!

I'm pretty sure that just means shoulders or arms or something like that. Does sound sugestive though. :lol:
