Bill mother****ing Murray

After re-watching Lost In Translation yet again a while ago, I decided Bill Murray is my hero.

I grew up watching stuff like Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Stripes (awesome movie, look that shiz up), stuff like that. Old Saturday Night Live DVDs with Bill and John Belushi and Chevy Chase. Great stuff.

But I also think it's cool that he's taking more serious roles. Lost In Translation is probably my favorite movie of 2003. Life Aquatic, I liked. I need to see Broken Flowers all the way through. Coffee and Cigarettes was good.

Bill is just an awesome guy all-around and I really dig the direction he's taking his acting career.

What do you guys think of him? Do you wish he would stick to funny stuff? Do you like his serious stuff? Any upcoming projects you're excited for? Thoughts on him in general?

Bill Groundhog Day Ghost-bustin' *** Murray!

[iarescientists]

i liked him in rushmore

[Against Miik!]

I've never dug him in anything besides SNL and Caddyshack. I don't know how he got swept up in the Wes Anderson **** show, but he did, and his career has suffered. And hell, he's got another one of those coming out in 09'. The only good movie he has done in 10 years is Rushmore, which is also Wes Anderson's only good movie. He needs to cut this elitist, snobbish, pseudo comedy **** and get back to doing what he does best.

Don't misunderstand me here. I'm not one of those people who thinks Will Ferrell is like Gods gift to comedy. I can respect a lot of oddball things that most people would not find funny. But Bill Murray, and Wes Anderson for that matter, try way too hard, and that kind of pisses me off.

I don't know how a guy like Owen Wilson somehow remains the only shining light in the Anderson movies he is in (I guess just Tenenbaums and Darjeeling?). He is actually funny though.

No really, it was awful.

[EightMilesHigh]

Newman from Seinfeld was in that too. "He's fixing a divet!"

Owen Wilson is a terrible actor.

[EightMilesHigh]

Owen Wilson isn't terrible. He's not going to win oscars for dramatic performances, but he knows what he's good at and sticks to it.

[Against Miik!]

He really only plays one character, but I like that one character.

lost in translation is one of the best movies ever.

[A Dead Modernist]

lol

[ohcleverhansyou]

Was someone dissing Space Jam in here? I watch it once a year to reflect on how closely my life at the moment parallels the movie.

[cobert]

The Life Aquatic is my favorite movie.

Bill mother****ing Murray is the man.

[static]

lol

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Pastorius]

I saw Life Aquatic in the cinema, all I can remember thinking afterwards is "what the hell did I just watch"

Loved it.

[jrowa001]

Life Aquatic is great. i never could get into Lost In Translation though. his role in Ghostbusters was awesome

[Klown]

his head looks really big in that picture emh

[Txus]

I ****ing hate his roles in Wes Anderson movies, but that's because I can't stand those **** films. Lost in Translation is brilliant, one of my 10 favorite movies ever. Also his older movies are pretty good too. His roles in SNL were really funny, but like I said before, I hate his roles in Wes Anderson movies. Rushmore was decent.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

He'd be nowhere without Harold Ramis

life aquatic wasn't THAT bad.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums were good movies. And Bill Murray was good in them. It was a different kind of comedy then he normally does but it brought the lols.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.

[dub sean]

I liked Scrooged and Space Jam, that's pretty much it...

[cometuesday]

Bill Murray is pretty much the man. Loved his cameo in Coffee and Cigarettes. Tenenbaums has got to be one of my favorite movies, and I really liked his character in that too. I dunno, I can see how someone might not like him but I think he's sweet.

[form]

he sucks

[Mr. Ron]

I finished about half way through Life Aquatic and got the feeling that pretentious indie kids would love this film.

But idk, I guess I'll have to watch it again. I love Bill though.

[Time]

Osmosis Jones is the ****.

[Interstate]

Can't beat Ghostbusters.

[-Listy-]

I want to see Scrooged again, tis been years.

[Aficionado]

Osmosis Jones is the ****.

lol no its not

Osmosis Jones was terrible

and **** you Space Jam was a great, wholesome family movie.

[iarescientists]

yo Afic, i think you need to get your irony detector checked out

[Aficionado]

kay

But I mean, the combination of Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan is INGENIOUS

[iarescientists]

just lookin out for you bro

[Pastorius]

Osmosis Jones is the ****.

Hell no, he was in Osmosis Jones?

That was one hell of a movie

[Chrysostom]

Bill mother****ing Murray is the man.

The end.

I love Bill Murray. A real legend.

No really, it was awful.

When my kids ask me, 'Dad, what were the 90's like?', I will not speak. I will simply hand them a copy of Space Jam and plug in the already ancient VCR.

[Txus]

Space Jam was ****ing awesome!

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

the **** is a "VCR"?

does the thread title of this thread come from when GZA says "bill mothafukin murray" "bill ghostbustin-*** murray" in coffee and cigarettes

[EightMilesHigh]

Yeah I love that part.

"You're Bill Murray. Bill, Groundhog Day, Ghostbustin' *** Murray. Who you gonna call?"

[Apocalyptic Raids]

don't swallow, bill murray

[Spiritofmosa]

Bill murray is such a cool guy, i dont know why but he and tom hanks have something in common.

[Meatplow]

I really like him, he's just a great personality all round :)

[Brewing Up With]

I like his Wes Anderson appearances.
