RIP. At least he did see his son made a good Ghostbusters movie.

RIP, loved his movies. He was able to walk the line of absurdity while still making a movie that appeared to take itself 100% seriously.

Ghostbusters and Heavy Metal.

What a legend. Ghostbusters and Evolution rank up there as some of the best sci-fi films I’ve seen.

75 is a decent score i guess. It could be a bit better though. RIP.
