r.i.p

i'm not well versed in his stuff but groundhog day is absolutely wonderful and inspires me to be a better person

 

[Socreges]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

Even if this wasn't in horrible taste, it still wouldn't be funny.

 

[eXistor]

He wasn't much of a household name outside of the US and Canada, but his influence is undeniable. Ghostbusters is one of the all-time classics as far as I'm concerned, same with Groundhog Day.

Yup, time to bust out the 'ol Ghostbusters DVD again.

 

[Kettch]

I didn't know he was sick. Thought he was the driving force behind Ghostbusters 3, so him being unwell didn't even occur to me.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yup, time to bust out the 'ol Ghostbusters DVD again.

Its even on Netflix streaming last I checked.

 

[Sadist]

Ah man, feeeeeeels

Can't count the times I've seen Ghostbusters, Stripes and Groundhog Day.

RIP

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Egon but not forgotten :-(

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Do, Ray, ......

 

[- J - D -]

Goodbye, Mr. Harold Ramis. You were brilliant.

 

[EternalDarko]

Really sad, RIP.
Absolutely loved his films and Groundhog Day is one of my favourite films of all time.

 

[GDGF]

His life was like a Slinky. Full of potential and hilarious to watch unfold.

And sadly, he straightened it today.

RIP.

 

[Kingbrave]

Fuck.

Loved him.

RIP Egon...

Was gonna post this, funny clip. Need to track down SCTV, but from what I'm reading the Shout! dvd releases are the less-good seasons?

 

[rasberryjam]

Rest in peace, Mr. Ramis. Your mastery of twinkie-based metaphors will never be forgotten, I promise.

 

[CTE]

RIP

Thanks for all the great memories growing up.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Even if this wasn't in horrible taste, it still wouldn't be funny.

It was worse then anything I saw in Year One for sure.

 

[Jack_AG]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO
RIP, Harold. See you on the other side :'(

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

Damn. Just like print...

Do, Ray, ......

Was just about to post this.

RIP

 

[Tizoc]

'Do...'
'Ray...'
'Egon...'

RiP, I will give caddyshack a watch as I've never heard of it til now.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

I am heartbroken. My childhood and favorite Ghostbuster.

 

[Meesh]

I feel like I'm at this really weird time in my life where so many talented people are passing away...and so suddenly. Often it's those I grew up enjoying, and some I've only discovered recently.

Anyways, this is sad news, it'll be hard to fill those ghost busting shoes.

 

[Raptomex]

Wtf? Everybody is dying. Too fucking young. Death is an asshole. RIP.

 

[RangerX]

Man Thats terrible news. I grew up with the ghostbuster films. My very first cinema experience was ghostbusters 2. RIP.

 

[Conor_Fool]

I've been meaning to rewatch Stripes lately, as well as Ghostbusters. May as well go for Caddyshack and Ghostbusters II at this point. Fuck, this is sad. We lost a great today, and like many other cases, it seems that it was not until his death that I realized how genius this man really was. All this time I had no idea of the work he did in St. Louis (my home town). Much respect.

Harold Ramis . . . great on-screen and even better off-screen writing.

Animal House, Groundhog Day . . . two genius movies right there written by Harold Ramis.

He also co-wrote the screenplay for Caddyshack and directed the film. And co-wrote Stripes.

 

[Jasup]

This is a very bad news day

 

[Avon Barksdale]

Damn...R.I.P.

 

[demon]

That is sad. He was integral in more ways than one to perhaps my favorite movie growing up- Ghostbusters, and of course there's all the other great shit he did. RIP you hero of comedy.

 

[Schmo Florez]

He was and always will be my favorite Ghostbuster. RIP.

 

[Trouble]

'Do...'
'Ray...'
'Egon...'

RiP, I will give caddyshack a watch as I've never heard of it til now.

I... I don't even...

How is that possible?

 

[KalBalboa]

I actually organize a group of ~40 Ghostbuster costumers that do the Boston St Patty's parade every year. We're marching for an animal shelter in Fitchburg, MA this year.

We're talking about all wearing black arm patches with "HR" on them this time around.

 

[Jarmel]

He was a true legend.

 

[kingkitty]

I liked him in Stripes.

He also directed Groundhog Day.

Rip.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

What a terrible shame

Rest in piece Ramis.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

didnt even know he was bad off him and aykroyd been pushing ghost busters 3 hard so thought he was in ok health this is terrible

 

[GlamFM]

Two departed comedic stars.


Harold Ramis . . . great on-screen and even better off-screen writing.

Animal House, Groundhog Day . . . two genius movies right there written by Harold Ramis.

Harold also directed Groundhog Day. He's even on screen in one scene.
One of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[Salmonax]

Weird, I thought he commited suicide in 2009 with Year One.

Yeah, dance on that grave!

 

[one_kill]

Damn

Groundhog Day is one of my favourite movies ever

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Children of the '70s and very early '80s are going to have it rough over the next 10-15 years. RIP.
Rewatched Groundhog Day a couple months ago and it hasn't aged a day.

 

[Dog Problems]

I just read this on CNN. Really sad to hear about this. Rest in peace.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Quick, somebody initiate the GHD loop and he'll be back tomorrow morning, right?...

He will be missed. Also no way in hell I watch a Ghostbusters 3 without him involved in some fashion.

 

[MormaPope]

Pretty surprising and sad news.

 

[Gustav]

Terrible news.

 

[StudioTan]

Terrible news RIP

 

[yyzjohn]

Fuck. Another legendary SCTV alumni gone. RIP.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

First actor death that I feel has affected me. I grew up watching Ghostbusters pretty much on repeat and still watch the film quite a lot

RIP.

 

[big ander]

I... I don't even...

How is that possible?

I get not having heard of it for anyone not in an english-speaking/golf-playing country-- though obviously the movie is not at all merely for golf people

 

[Enron]

Wow, I come back from the office to this news.

What a horrible day. Caddyshack and Ghostbusters are two of my favorite flicks.

'Do...'
'Ray...'
'Egon...'

RiP, I will give caddyshack a watch as I've never heard of it til now.

.......what

 

[massoluk]

Good bye, Egon. Will watch your movies in tribute.

/salute.

 

[Astro Monster]

Constantly watching Ghostbusters and Caddyshack when I was a kid made me the man I am today.

RIP
