Egon But Not Forgotten (Happy Birthday Harold Ramis)
"I Had A Slinky...But I Straightened It"
- Dr. Egon Spengler
On November 21st, 1944, Harold Ramis was born. Early in his celebrated career he was part of the legendary Second City improvisational comedy troupe and SCTV.
He is known for directing comedy classics like "Caddyshack" and "National Lampoon's Vacation." He co-wrote and directed the masterpiece that is "Groundhog Day." That alone cements his legacy.
But as a young child growing up in The '80's, I knew him specifically as Dr. Egon Spengler in the paranormal comedy franchise "Ghostbusters."
For a period in time I was obsessed with Ghostbusters. I loved the films, the cartoon show...I had the toys and to this day I still await the Hi-C Ecto Cooler when a new Ghostbusters film premiers.
He will forever be an important part of my childhood and he still means so much to me. As a fan of Ghostbusters, I've seen the good and bad in the fandom. But I'm praying that this trilogy properly ends the classic era and gives Mr. Ramis a proper sendoff.

Intentional Parallels? ("Conclave" Movie Review)
"Conclave" is a mystery thriller based on the 2016 Robert Harris book of the same name. Starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the film focuses on the most powerful group of the Catholic Church cardinals as they mourn their recently deceased pope and prepare to vote for a new one. As they continue to vote and debate the merits of the nominees, many twists and turns present bumps in the road. And that last twist...well, it's a doozy. Being a registered independent, this film firmly leans in the progressive side of things, though corruption seeps into all sides. It is a fight for those in the middle to choose which way the church will continue into the future. Whether it should go back to reading Latin and become so conservative that they choose not to accept other religions or liberal points of view, or whether to continue to go in a more progressive way and deal with the world as it changes. As I watched this film I couldn't help...
