Terrible news folks :(

 

 

Feel like a massive part of my childhood has gone.

On another note, makes Ghostubsters 3 a lot less likely, not that that's the important thing right now.

I've been meaning to pick up 'Groundhog Day' for a while now, been holding out for a steelbook release, might grab a copy now.

Terrible news.  :sad:

 

Ghostbusters was a big part of my childhood (from the movies to the cartoon, etc.), and is still one of my all-time favorite films, so this hits especially hard.  R.I.P.  :sad:

Sad news indeed, R.I.P.

 

Has to be a coincidence: looking into my wardrobe this morning, I was thinking that I didn't wear my Ghostbuster T-Shirt for ages and decided to put it on...

And I had my "Groundhog Day"-BD in my hands while re-arranging my shelves, thinking about how well this was directed.

 

Terrible disease, by the way, that got him at such an early age.  R.I.P., Mr. Ramis.

A great talent, in front and behind the camera, and his work will never be forgotten by any generation, that's for sure.

 

RIP.

A good friend of mine was a huge fan of Ramis. I believe he cried too. AMAZING talent and a tragic loss. Rest In Peace, Egon.

He wrote some of my favorite movies: Animal House, Caddyshack, and of course Ghostbusters. His performance in Stripes was so great, and I still make a few quotes of his from that movie today. I was so sad to hear of Harold Ramis' passing, but I bet he's got them laughing in Heaven.

I didn't watch the Oscars on Sunday, so I missed this, but that was a nice tribute from Bill Murray.

R.I.P I think it's sad that he has passed away, but look at the legacy that he left behind. Ghostbusters will always be a classic movie to watch.
