I pulled up his IMDB and I was actually surprised to see how little he actually acted on camera and most of those rolls were minor.

 

I've always thought of him first as a writer/director. Ghostbusters was a funny movie, but you don't make that (Insert Celeb Here) is Dead thread based just on that role.

Harold Ramis, writer/director/actor, 69.

 

Going to have to watch Caddyshack tonight in his honor.

Great screen writer. Many laughs.

RIP

Stripes was a much better role. He deserves celebrity based on that and SCTV work alone.

Egon :-(

Too young, he was a funny guy.

 

He once randomly walked into my gym class senior year.

I really think Harold Ramis is severely underappreciated by the general public as a great percentage of people pay no mind to who writes and directs comedies. I mean look at his filmography.

 

Writer/Director

Caddyshack

Groundhog Day

Analyze This/That

 

Director

Vacation

 

Writer

Animal House

Meatballs

Stripes

Ghostbusters/ II

Back to School

 

Many of these are considered amongst the greatest comedies of all time. He really is amongst the greatest comedic minds to ever live.

Yeah, I don't know that you get much better than that in the comedy world. He belongs on the Comedy Mt Rushmore with guys like Mel Brooks and George Carlin.

 

Comedian Tim Wilson dies at 52 of a heart attack. Anybody that listens to the Bob and Tom show should know his work well.

Dating Game host Jim Lange, 81

Probably not a celebrity to most but Dr. Frank Jobe died at 88. He is the person responsible for most of the current ideas in rehabbing pitchers. He invented the "Tommy John" surgery as well as the "throwers Ten exercises that all pitchers still use parts of today.

 

He is an innovator that will be missed.

Fred Phelps, 84, founder of Westboro Baptist

Absolutely no one should go to his funeral. Let him go to hell in absolute silence.

That is also preferable. I just think it would be nice if any nice things said about him by his family could be completely drowned out by the motorcycles that drowned out his hate at Soldier funerals

I believe they will find that he's still dead.

The news from Seattle came online and spread quickly on Thursday: Seattle police were going to reopen the investigation into musician Kurt Cobain’s death! One small thing: It’s not actually true.

How many people will get arrested for public urination on Fred Phelps grave!

I saw donations to LGBT groups had an uptick today. I think that's my favorite way I've seen so far of saying "f*** you" to Phelps.

It is not worth pissing on.

Correct, that means you made an effort ans cared about him and the opinions. Now if I was visiting someone else's grave and happened upon it, that is a different story.

Do you think they will play Macklemore at his funeral?
