no.

he'd be in his own solitary containment unit.  you don't want to put him in with gen pop.  he'd be eaten alive.  metaphorically speaking.

Truth.

Man, imagine a Twinkie represented my normal level of emotional distress.  My current sadness would be a Twinkie 35 feet long, weighing about 600 pounds.

Groundhog's Day is my favorite comedy ever. The only one that has remained timeless (ironically).

Very good, Mandark. Short but pointless.

The Ghostbusters Theme was the pinnacle of the "movie theme songs where the title of movie was a lyric in the song" craze.



Unless we can count that Space Jam/Persona remix.

I thought this was going to be about him celebrating an approved by Bill Murray Ghostbusters III script at Olive Garden.  :fbm

Man, this is sad. The guy was only 69 years old. I saw him once in Santa Monica, in some bookstore on the Promenade. I left him alone, but the bookstore clerk was trying to give him stuff for free because he was Harold Ramis, but the guy just wanted to be treated normally.

It's sad that we'll never get a Ghostbusters 3: We're Too Old For This.

just watched The Ice Harvest for the first time again in years very recently.

Frigging shame it tanked so badly, as its a pretty dang good film.  He did so much light, humane comedy, that his black hearted little crime thriller/comedy I think suffered only in comparison to his previous work.  Its a very good, acrid, small town noir with comedic elements that relive and accentuate the despair of its characters.

Its a good movie, had it been received better who knows where it could have taken him, heck, he could have even been taken seriously as an artist in his own lifetime, instead of now as being a well eulogized dude after the fact.  Somebody who provides consistent and quality entertainment throughout a long and fruitful career should have been better appreciated in their own time.  Thanks Harold for being so good at what you did that almost every critical/awards group took it for granted.

It's probably just as well, the studio would find some way to totally screw it up.

I was totally surprised to find out he was in Funny People. I haven't recognized in anything in a decade and he was still out there just looked a bit different.

It was probably removing cocaine from the equation. Or was that Ackroyd?
