YouTube will be streaming the entirety of the film Ghostbusters for seven days using Sony's Crackle video player to celebrate the movie's 25th anniversary, starting tonight at 8:00 EDT. The YouTube blog doesn't mention commercials, so hopefully it's an ad-free event intended to remind everyone that yes, YouTube has movies. But even with commercials, it'll probably be worth a look.
