Thanks for the laughs, Mr Ramis. You’ve entertained us well over the years. ---

I’m sadder about this than I thought I would be - always thought he seemed like an nice person, and I loved his work. ---

This is so sad. He directed so many funny films, but with Groundhog Day, he made one for the ages. ---

Bedazzled (2002) is immensely viewable. I like to think it’s because everyone looks like they had a blast making it. ---

I bet you’re right. And I bet fifty years from now people will still be watching and enjoying it, which isn’t a bad legacy. RIP. ---

Ugh, of all the celebrity deaths in the past few years, this one hits me the hardest. I bonded with my best friend over Ghostbusters, and I watch Groundhog Day with my girlfriend every year on our anniversary (February 2nd). ---

I bonded with my best friend over Ghostbusters, and I watch Groundhog Day with my girlfriend every year on our anniversary (February 2nd). Agreed. I really haven’t felt this way since Phil Hartman. ---

It’s only fitting to have four threads about Ramis’s death, as he did direct Groundhog Day. ---

Let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of sadness I feel when I hear about a celebrity death. Based on this morning’s report of the death of Harold Ramis, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long weighing approximately six hundred pounds. ---

sad, sad, sad. I had a crush on him when I saw “Stripes.” now that I’m 61, 69 seems way too young to die. No, it’s too young, period. He certainly left a great legacy in comic film. wonder if he and Bill Murray ever stopped their feuding and talked to each other again. ---
