    Sad news. He had a helluva run though; I was always a huge fan.

    John Winger: C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin.

    Russell Ziskey: Well I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!

    And now he's literally collecting spores, moulds & fungus.

    Esquire's Oral History Of Ghostbusters is an entertaining read.

    That faces he's making during John Candy's speech are great. RIP such an unbelievable influence on so many comedic film makers and actors. He really brought a lot of joy to a lot of people who still watch his movies over and over. Just in the past month I've watched Stripes and Ghostbusters for the god knows how many umpteenth time and I still enjoy them.

    When I'm picking out a movie to watch comedies are pretty low on my genre preference scale, but Ramis made a fistful of comedies that are among my most-watched movies ever. Fuck a Mamet, this guy was a genuine GOAT candidate in his field.

    Like I care.

    I figure enema documentaries are your top priority.

    "Parallax and the Nozzle of Doom, " coming soon to a shit cinema near you.

    Now run along and watch "The Nutty Professor" for the 100th time. You know you want to.

    Yay! Beef in an RIP thread.
    It's been a while; too long, in fact.
    Carry on.
