I’m sure there must be some out there, but in the English speaking world I’d say it’s the most unique name I’ve heard.

      Yeah, the only place I heard it was from that story, Sigourney Howard, a peripheral character. No other Sigourneys ever (in my experience).

      I’m sure somebody must know a real one.

    Wikipedia has a couple of them! Sigourney Thayer was an American theatre producer born 1896, Sigourney Trask was an American missionary born 1849, and Sigourney Bandjar is a Surinamese footballer born 1984

        I still find it upsetting that nowhere in the ghostbusters lore have they ever touched on why a ghost randomly gave Ray a blowjob, or how he knew to let it happen.

        Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

        And speaking of not making sense…the second movie starts off with the city of NYC not believing in ghosts. They JUST had a 50 foot marshmellow man make global news a few years earlier! It would have made more sense for them to be out of business because they think all the ghosts have been busted, and therefore nobody hires them. Instead, we see people snickering and calling them crockpots.

        Just imagine if in 2008 nobody remembered 9/11 and called TSA crazy for thinking planes could be hijacked. Thats the level of news coverage a 50 foot tall marshmellow man destroying NYC would get.

        And and and!!! What about at the end of the movie when they cross the streams, and blow up a building in NYC, but are somehow perfectly fine afterwards? And then Winston yells I LOVE NEW YORK!!!

        Why did he yell that? That makes no sense! The mayor spent the whole movie trying to shut you down. The citizens treat you like criminals. The city has attracted an invasive species of afterlife spirits that seek to kill you. You just attempted a move that had a 50/50 chance of destroying the universe. And AFTER surviving a massive bomb on the roof of a building, you randomly yell that out.

        Ya know what? Winston had a concussion. I’m going with that. It’s the only thing that makes any sense. He’s suffering from a concussion and doesn’t know what’s going on.

        So how’s your guys day going? I’m doing fine as you can see. I’m clearly not a lunatic.

          The kids never quite understood what happened but it was so quick they just moved on.

            I honestly don’t know if that makes it better or worse.

            Like…imagine being the director.

            “OK Ray, now this is where the ghost is going to edge you, and tease your balls with her tongue. Obviously we can’t show your balls, so make sure to express it with facial cues! Aaaaand ACTION!”

            Then they review the footage, and decide not to use it. And Ray is like “WHAT THE HELL MAN???” And the director is like "Oh. Yeah. That was just a goof. Bill Murray dared me to see how long I could get you to do that scene for and waste your time.

            And just think. There is a non-zero chance that footage still exists, and could be discovered some day. I remember in 2017 they found some long lost silent film era films. So there is a chance that one day they’ll release the directors cut of the BJ scene.

            And by then, we’ll probably all be dead. And kids born 50 years from now will be confused by films from the 1980s.

        She wasn’t his girlfriend. He found her interesting because she was a client, and she slept above the covers.

        Four feet above the covers.
