Is it me or does it feel like people back then, especially great people, were so much smarter, original, creative, and down to earth. Love this guy RIP
I mean…it depends on where you’re looking. Not to discount the wonderful nature of Harold Ramis, but a lot of it is the venue you’re looking at. “Old media” television interviews like these are a dying thing for sure. You rarely see directors and writers interviewed on TV these days, it’s much more focused on the “sensation” (similar to how Harold speaks of the Belushi book in this).
@@emogolem that makes more sense, with him smoking weed as he got older, and I think he started taking it easy with the hard drugs when he was directing Caddyshack because he wanted to show the executives that he wanted to become responsible enough for becoming a director.
It's amazing, she asked so much about John Belushi, I wonder if she knew Belushi was originally set to star in Ghostbusters before it was rewritten. Harold Ramis is still one of my heroes, as a person and as an entertainer. I always liked hearing him talk and admire his intelligence and modesty. So missed. And Ghostbusters (1984) is still the best movie ever!
Sandra Bogan Wow, no shit? That must have been absolutely unforgettable. The same year Ghostbusters was released too. I hope you have many fond memories of that time that must seem a lifetime ago
He seemed like a REAL person... like someone I might have helped find an item at a retail job I used to have. Wish I had had the pleasure. Rest well, Mr. Ramis.
I never got to meet Harold That’s one of my biggest regrets like when I never got to meet Brittany Murphy , Chadwick boseman , Stan lee, and others. There was so many heartfelt things I wanted to tell Harold so badly. But now I will never get to. Poor man. He truly was taken from us far too soon. He had a family and children to be there for. Not to mention he had to be there for the ghostbusters cast members and keep playing as Egon in future ghostbusters films. Rip Harold ramis. May you Rest In Peace with your very own collection of spores, molds and fungus and a whole paper bag of big twinkies
If Harold had a fault, it was his extreme modesty. No compliment went to his head, apparently. He seemed to be a very humble, quiet and lovely nice man, almost embarrassed when attention came his way. The final minutes of this video are an illustration & education of how fake 'Hollywood' has become, not to say that it was ever "Real" - a series of questions & phony reactions without the interview-ee even being present. Did Belushi mind being considered "Chubby"? egads.
On the contrary, I feel new respect for the reporters of that era, not only they had to make their job, but they had to be part actors. Cameras were expensive back then, so they didn't have the luxury of taking two cameras, and two cameramen, to the interview. And they had to remember what was said, after the actor left, react on their memories and do it quickly, because surely there was another interviewer waiting for his turn. And sometimes the part of the reporter would be erased completely in shows and substituted with the show host pretending that he or she did the interview.
@@badideabearcub2747 and they're not the canned affairs they are now - with pre-drafted questions akin to the old radio station schick from the 60s, answered via editing.
prowlie they were planning to continue with the original crew but due to Harold's sudden passing and dan's losing his ambition to star in another movie made the director make a new crew R.I.P Harold Ramis
Conocer la voz real de Harold es sensacional; estaba acostumbrada a su voz en Español latino que le queda perfecta...doblaje oficial no solo para las cintas sino tambien para la serie de dibujos animados de los 80's
Remember when interviewers had non invasive questions and interviews left people with good feelings and certain good questions, not awkward tension; What a breath of fresh air this was, R.I.P Mr. Ramis. If you haven’t seen ghostbusters afterlife you must 😢
I had a huge crush on Harold Ramis as a tween in the 80s. My friends were into Tom Cruise and the like, but to me Harold beat them all. Handsome, smart, funny.
