This comment on the Guardian’s review of Ghostbusters must win some sort of prize for weirdness

Taken from the comments to Mark Kermode’s Guardian review of Ghostbusters, it has to be read, IT HAS TO BE READ.

Reminds me of when I went to the cinema with my wife to see the original Ghostbusters

film as a last ditch attempt to save our marriage (she left me for a driving instructor in the end).

Halfway through a woman in front of us started shouting the word ‘Ghostbusters’ every few minutes, much to the consternation of the audience. After being asked to desist several times my wife took matters into her own hands and punched this woman very hard in the back of the head. rendering her unconscious!

Imagine our surprise when she turned out to be part of a contingent of disabled patrons who were on a day out!

Red faces all round!

By way of an apology we bought the whole group ice cream from the skivvy that came round at the interval – with a flake in for the unfortunate lady involved.

We have no explanations. NONE.

OK, maybe one:
