Title: Harold Ramis
Post by: Saxman on February 24, 2014, 12:10:41 PM

Actor/Director Harold Ramis dies at 69. (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-news/-ghostbusters--actor-harold-ramis-dies-at-69-173530161.html?soc_src=mediacontentsharebuttons)

Ramis was a comedy legend, and Ghostbusters and Stripes are still two of the funniest movies of all time. There had even been buzz recently of a third Ghostbusters film.

Damn shame... He was great. Watch the old SCTV reruns. He was great even then.

Glad I lived in a world with Harold Ramis. There would have been a lot fewer laughs without him.

Just last week I was reading about Caddyshack co-writer Douglas Kenney who was good friends with Harold Ramis.  Kenney fell/committed suicide in 1980.  Ramis said "Doug probably fell while he was looking for a place to jump".  I can't imagine a world without both of their many movies.

I enjoyed his work.

An interesting tidbit, he took a bunch of (acid? Speed?) drugs prior to his Army physical to avoid being drafted. Whatever he took, it worked. He failed his physical.

I really liked him as an actor, I thought he was under-rated.  I especially liked him in Stripes.   :lol

A truly great comedic talent who will be greatly missed by all.

The world won't be quite as funny now.

The movie "the year one" was very funny but the way the media covers hit you'd think he stopped making movies after ghostbusters.

I have read multiple interviews where Ramis stated that he and Bill Murray had a falling out after filming Groundhog Day because Murray at the time was going through a divorce and was a pain in the arse to work with.  Ramis said that Murray would donate a kidney to him if asked, but will not pick up the phone.  I have also read that they had recently reconciled with the help of Bill's brother Brian Doyle-Murray, and were on good terms again.

Regardless, Murry's Oscar shout-out was awesome.
