Harold Ramis dead aged 69

I always loved this:





Funny and cool guy.


RIP

I love Ghostbusters and Animal House

don't cross the streams... here's to you Egon

he did some great movies much better then the crap filmed today

First time I have seen something with Harold Ramis' name in it that didn't make me laugh.





RIP Harold Ramis...

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!"

I know I'm just showing how much of a nerd I am..but I'm pretty sure Winston said that


...this overall has been some upsetting news today

he was in so many awesome movies, i had no idea he was that old.

Hmm for Ghostbusters 3 this is how I would play this off. Have Egon die and funeral is where the movie kicks off. Rick Moranis comes to the viewing. Egon possess Rick Moranis's body have him come back to bust the ghost that ended up killing him. ;) Once they do that goofy Rick Moranis character back.. Egon goes off into the great beyond, or sticks around like Slimer.

Aw wow that sucks... I first saw Harold Ramis on SCTV back in the 80's... not sure if it ever played in the US but it was on every weekend here in Canada. John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short and others were all on the same show. Sad day.

that sucks, one of my favs

Yea I really hope they don't need to stick Egon in the containment unit...

They could do a cgi version of him as a ghost as well. Sure someone can nail his voice if need be. hehe.

I always found it amusing how they did his character in the cartoons.

Feel sorry for the guy but I don't know who he is

you're right.. but that's my favorite line from the movie.

he's one of the bad guys now R.I.P.

Great, so who I'm gonna call now, Ernie Hudson?
Shit.

R.I.P. Mr. Ramis

it is an awesome line...

"I collect spores, molds and fungus"

Comedy genius, I came of age in a golden era of comedy and most of it came from the Second City and National Lampoon where all these comedy legends honed their writing and performing talents.

Ghostbusters was far from his best work though.

He was very talented.RIP Harold

RIP. We have his amazing legacy.

Great actor...
May he rio.

R.I.P Harold

What a shame... he was amazing.

Loved him on SCTV. That comes to mind for me before anything else.

Egoooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn

for some reason this picture made me sad/happy

rest in peace Harold Ramis...
