Harold Ramis, 1944 - 2014

Sad day today, Hollywood lost another true talent and dare I even say legend. Harold Ramis, the actor, writer, and director who had a pivotal role in developing (or in some cases creating) comedy classics like Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, Animal House, Meatballs, Stripes, and others has died today at the age of 69. I know I don't normally do these blog tributes very often, but Harold Ramis is a special case. Not only was he one of those rare exceptions of Hollywood figures who not only made me laugh time and time again, but since Ghostbusters was such an integral part of my childhood and upbringing (and a movie that even after seeing it 100+ times is just as entertaining as ever), Ramis' passing managed to hit me pretty hard. Whether it be the awkward antics of Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters, the existential hilarity he brought to Groundhog Day, or just his spot-on comedic timing in Stripes... he was a true comedic genius.

If there's one silver lining to this sad news, it's that he has left behind quite a legacy, and if nothing else his talents and spirit will live on in his array of hilarious movies and shows. RIP Mr. Ramis.
