This is the true me, Judge Alvin from Nothing But Trouble. The film cost Warner Brothers $38 million and made 4. It effectively ended my directorial career, but was the best experience thanks to having Spielberg’s crew—Dean Cundey, Cinematographer and Michael Lantieri, Special Effects. As well as William Sandell, Art Director. We came in under budget but the studio opened us against Jodi Foster in Silence of the Lambs and Julia Roberts in Sleeping With the Enemy. We didn’t have a chance. But I’m proud of the picture as a perfectly serviceable comedy. I can be and prefer to be addressed as Judge, by virtue of my serving as a sworn Canadian federal judge for 2 hours wherein I welcomed new immigrant families to Canada. So Judge Aykroyd will be fine. And also Doctor. Judge Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor…

Happy belated Birthday to the Murricane. The greatest comedy leading man of our time. So many adventures over the years. One night shooting GB2, we appropriated two fully equipped police motorcycles from the movie’s motor pool and spent an hour chasing each other around a closed Central Park with full lights and sirens. No consequences. After all, we were Ghostbusters.
