I didn't realize how many of his movies I've seen and loved.  What a talent.

A very underrated talent. How the hell did I not know that he directed National Lampoon's Vacation?! I feel ashamed  :-[

The more I think about it the more depressed I get too. I think it's because I just loved his writing and sense of humor and have since I was like 8 years old and his movies are a huge part of my childhood. And I didn't even know he was sick :(

Very sad. He was one o' the Good Ones. Also, now he and Bill Murray will never get to work out their differences. That's gotta weigh heavy.  :(

according to the piece Bill went to see him a few times

I've never been clear on the details, but they had a falling-out during the filming of Groundhog Day.

I think it was discussed in another thread - iirc they fell out on groundhog day, Bill having different ideas and Harold trying to direct him

If I understand it right it was what stopped any progress on a new Ghostbusters film

and there was Murray's divorce at the time.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Yeah it wasn't creative differences it was Murray getting very depressed about his divorce which led to him showing up late or not all for shoots of Groundhog Day.

It was a combination of the divorce and creative differences. Murray was incredibly difficult to work with at the time. During the Groundhog Day shoot, he went so far as to hire a deaf assistant who could only communicate through ASL and had all of his communication with the production staff go through her. Neither Murray, nor anyone else on the production knew ASL.

It got to the point that Ramis basically had to tell Murray to do scenes as written. Murray wasn't happy and did not speak to Ramis for years after.

Dan Akroyd refers to Bill Murray during the time of his divorce as "The Murricane".
