    Noooo! There goes the sequel (even though apparently Murray wasn't going to be in it).

    Any Idea what Murray's issue was with it?

    RIP Egon!

    I have always heard that Murray is one of the most impossible actors to get a hold of, especially when making him an offer or getting him to agree on a new film role.

    urban legend at one point had a 1-800 answering service hotline number being passed around Hollywood types who were trying to get a hold of him.

    I'm guessing what he said, haha. Maybe he thinks he's better than that now? Or he thinks it's a cash grab. (it is)

    Murray and Ramis had a falling out after Groundhog Day. Murray wanted his character to have more depth and Ramis wanted him to be a typical Murray character. As far as I know, they haven't spoken since that movie wrapped. Ramis has reached out to him numerous times but Murray hadn't responded.

    I wonder how Murray is feeling today.

    Yea.... This guy had his hand in so much. Ghostbusters was IT when I was a kid and I still have boxes of the old toys. I remember the Ghost Busters Fire House came with this blue rod (the firemans pole) and I used it as a sword and hit my sister with it across the nose.

    Damn. Rest in peace, you comedy legend. Few are responsible for making us laugh as much as you have.

    Thank you, good sir.

    We should all celebrate by watching some of his work.

    Ugh, loved so many of his movies. Didn't even know he did Back to School.

    RIP

    And this coming three weeks after PSH. February 2014 has not been a kind month for Hollywood.

    From what Robin Meade was saying on CNN Headline News this morning, it's when your immune system starts attacking your own blood vessels. She also said it started or he was diagnosed about 4 years ago.

    That sounds pretty messed up.

    He and Mel Brooks are the 2 greatest comedy writers/directors ever. I've tried to think of another, but can't.
