Harold Ramis dead at 69

[Jimzz]

Oh man, guess the Ghostbusters movie that was in the works is going to die or be a mess now.

 

[Fritzo]

Wow! That's a shock. Was hoping they would finally get Ghostbusters 3 together

Oh man, guess the Ghostbusters movie that was in the works is going to die or be a mess now.

On the contrary, I bet it's put on the fast track now. It'll need some rewriting, but still doable. I bet even Bill Murray gets involved now so that some "hack" doesn't tarnish Harold's legacy.

who??

what are you, five?

 

[Sonikku]

ugh. Talk about a punch to the gut. His death hits me as a tremendous loss.

 

[Thebobo]

Everyone is dying.

 

[NFS4]

Damnit! Why do I have tears welling up in my eyes for someone I've never even met?

RIP Egon!

 

[Sonikku]

I will buy these in tribute to him.

I was a huge fan of his, have been since the first GhostBusters movie.

RIP Egon, you will be missed.

He could play a ghost

I've always confused him with Rick Moranis. All these years I pictured Harold Ramis as the short chubby guy.

 

[SunnyD]

What astounds me is I will ALWAYS remember him as Egon, and every time I see him as the chubby older Harold Ramis I'm like "No fuckin' way that's Harold Ramis." Looks like two different people.

 

[EvilYoda]

Damn, I absolutely loved his humor. And yeah, my first reaction was "what about GB3?"

 

[Kaido]

Egon noooooooooooooo

 

[poofyhairguy]

Print is dead!

He had an autoimmune disorder that caused him to be very sick for the past few years.
I liked most of his movies and his eye for great comedy will be missed.

If it was autoimmune, why didn't he just stay away from cars? He seemed like a smart guy in the movies he acted in...I guess he was just acting.

 

[Linflas]

Truly a gut punch for me. The guy has given me so damn many laughs over the years.
RIP.

Dammit, just dammit

Oh jesus. I will watch Caddyshack, Stripes, and Ghostbusters in his honor!

He had some amazing memorable hits when I was growing up, Caddyshack being my favorite comedy.

He will be missed!

 

[JackBurton]

who??

GTFO!

This is really sad news. Shocked he died so early.

May need to watch some GB.

 

[preCRT]

RIP

Had a major crush on him when I was a kid, always made me laugh.
