Reply to TIL that it took several years for writer Bruce Rubin to sell the script to Jacob's Ladder, because it was "too metaphysical" and "Hollywood does not make ghost movies". Rubin would later write the screenplay for Ghost, a box office success that grossed over $500 million. by WouldbeWanderer
For the young men out there Watching Ghost with your girlfriend will most likely end with you getting laid
