Yea this stings...

And I don't what you guys are smoking... Akroyd is going to be more inclined to make GB3 now. "Let's honor Harold's memory!"

Re: Harold Ramis Dead at 69

That's right woodchuck chuckers it's GROUNDHOG DAY!

He'll be much missed. A very funny man who was involved in some excellent films which were cultural touchstones, but I'll always associate him with Groundhog Day, a brilliant movie which is a deeply spiritual and touching film as well as a funny one.

Re: Harold Ramis Dead at 69

Huge fan. Comedy movies as we know them would be vastly different without his influence, IMO.

RIP.

Re: Harold Ramis Dead at 69

This sucks. Big time. I really really enjoyed his movies. Loved his sarcastic wit as an actor.

Yeah, this hurts.

Re: Harold Ramis Dead at 69

Director of Caddyshack, acted in Stripes and Ghostbusters, I believe he was involved in someway with National Lampoons Vacation. All classic's that still hold up much better then the crap comedy movies today.

Re: Harold Ramis Dead at 69

Just saw a tweet that mentioned what a comedy genius he was and how he'll be missed. Knew that there would be a thread already. He was a comedy genius and he will be missed. I think I can quote from most of his films that was involved in. His ability to say the funniest things while looking and sounding so deadly serious was one of those things that I really liked about him.

I fucking LOVE Groundhog's Day. One of my all time favorites. RIP Harold, and please I hope this puts Ghostbusters 3 to rest.

There are a few clunkers, but over all that's an amazing resume.

He and John Candy were icons of my childhood. It's not fair he died so young. RIP.
