As with most kids my age, playing Ghostbusters was just as common as running around with a flashlight and claiming Jedi Knighthood. He, LilBro, and I would run around as the original

I had the same sort of reaction when Jim Henson died. His creativity and joy were associated with my tween life watching Sesame Street with my younger sibs, and all the years since. So yes, these losses in the public realm hit many private hearts.

It's good that you remember so many great things about your brother, even if they give you some pain.

And last night, I watched Ghostbusters in full for the first time not on a copied VHS, despite having owned the Blu-ray for over a year now.

While the effects are dated, the movie still holds up really well, which makes me happy.
