Well another good one is gone over to the other side.

    Just read about this. Rest in peace Mr. Ramis. I loved pretty much everything he worked on.

    :(

    I hate to say it but the name didn't ring a bell and the face in the link didn't neither but I google Egon Spengler and there was a faces that I knew, I loved Stripes, Groundhog Day and Analyze That.

    looking at his career I had seen most of it, but only one of them I can truly say that I have told people to watch without being thinking of the Director or cast, just is a good classic movie that you should see is Groundhog Day

    "Willing to Learn "

    RIP Harold

    I'd hoped this was a net hoax when I first heard, but really saddened to hear :( My favourite, and I can never remember the title of, was where he went into the army, and was 'the cool one' of the group :cool: RIP Harold...

    Stripes, with Bill Murray. Another classic.

    I think, however, the saddest part, aside from the loss of the sort of comic genius that's becoming all too rare in formulaic Hollywood, is the fact that now we'll never get to see Ghostbusters III. And just when it seemed like Murray might be coming around...

    That's the one, thanks :cool: Only saw it the once, but was immediately my favourite of his works... And yeah, shame about Ghostbusters III... On that note, I would love to see Dan Akroyd's original script for Ghostbusters, which apparently involved multiple dimensions, the Earth's rotation and stellar expansion as the explanation, and it was apparently Harold Ramis who revised it into something more accessible to folks :cool:

    All things considered, that's probably for the best. I'd rather have remembered Ghostbusters for what it was at the time rather than another horrible reboot (Aykroyd mentioned it'd be the Ghostbusters 'passing the torch' to a new team) milking the 1980's for all it was worth.

    Maybe my childhood dodged a bullet this time. Without Ramis or Murray, and with Rick Moranis happily retired for show biz? Aykroyd has nothing.

    Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd do not a Ghostbusters make.

    That was only one of a few different ideas/scripts in rotation for the Ghostbusters reunion/remake/reboot/third in the franchise.
