Egon has died :(

Post by flojocabron »

Harold Ramis, the man who played Egon in Ghostbusters and directed many popular 80's movies has passed away.

Man I didn't wanna believe it :cry:

If the new GB movie was ever to come out, I was looking forward to a few more scientific one-liners out of him as he passed the torch.

Sigh, gonna watch GB tonight with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye.

There's no way it will have the charm or live up to the others, especially after all this time. Better to leave it with fond memories of being great instead of ruining it like Indiana Jones 4, Matrix 2 & 3, Everything Highlander after the original movie, etc.

So confused right now. All major news outlets are confirming death, but this says it was a hoax?

He died this morning (2/24). The hoax claimed that he dies on Saturday (2/22), and the agent confirmed he was alive on Sunday (2/23). The timing of the hoax is a bit strange, but nothing in the linked article is actually inconsistent with today's reports of Mr. Rami's death.
