What! Why not? Aren't you the author of The Bill Murray Appreciation Thread? |
||||||||
|

I am Shane. However, my GF does not like Bill Murray and I couldn't find anyone to go to the cinema, and I don't like going by myself :[ PITIFUL! |
||||||||

Ah this old thread. Yes he is great. Although the Life Aquatic was a bit too much. I can't remember anyone smiling in that film at all. It was like all the actors were asked to perform Bill Murray types.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I finally watched Aquatic last night. Although some bits were a bit forced, and it was slow to start, by an hour in I was lovin' it and laughing my head off. Best Bill moment probably when they find the sunken vessel and he looks at the camera, not smiling except for his eyes. A-fucking-mazing. "We fuckin' stole it man" |

havent seen it, wonder why it had so little praise wanting to see it for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably so little praise because it's not a facile piece of shit and it's more subtle than a Bush presidential speech. |

watched it on dvd last weekend....... really enjoyed it, quirky little style to it.......... loved the little slo-mo when he smokes the joint after meeting his son for the first time |

|
|
so it is good in the mood of the tennembauns? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah! That was great, very fitting. The film had so many things going on it'll be great for multiple viewings. Gotta check out the commentary this weekend. Nacho: The tone is identical to Tenenbaums in my opinion. You liked that, you'll like this. |

BILL MURRAY IS APPRECIATED!!! |

The Razor's Edge would be a good one to own. |

ha, osmosis jones! i completely forgot about that film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Enjoyed his cameo in The Darjeeling Limited... I have to be honest, I'd have liked to have seen him a few more times in it, although it was quite nice that he bookended the film. |
||||||||
|
|

|

its so awesome that after that taxi driver risks their lives and everyone in the street, murray just totally stiffs him. |

Quick Change, under appreciated classic |

priceless banter in coffee and cigarettes between him and rza. broken flowers is the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, good film - I don't think it was ever released on DVD was it? At least, not in the UK, I had to get it on video :| |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
today i end the watch of Rushmore Academy then Bill Murray appears,its good actor,yes. |

"Suck up the guts, guys. We're the Ghostbusters" This being quoted, I must add that 2 is nowhere near as good as 1. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the first half of Ghostbusters 2 and then it turns a bit rubbish... I love the World of the Psychic show at the end when Bill "telepathically" sends his message to the viewers: great stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I meant at the end of the tv show, not at the end of the film! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true. 1 has a lot of promise, but they fuck it up! (maybe not completely, there are some pretty good moments). the first part is fun because they show how they picked up their lives after the state sued the shit out of them. everything they end up doing is so typical (as Janine says).. ghostbusters 1 seemed more naturally funny... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, 2 has a lot of pomise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

godamnit... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Get out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I felt the same way. When I sat down at the beginning of the film I didn't know Murray was going to be making an appearance (cameo or otherwise), which was a nice surprise, but I wish he had had a bigger part. Last night I watched Meatballs for the first time, and I was hoping for some classic 80's Bill Murray action, but the movie wasn't very good at all. It was a bit annoying, actually :( |

"the first part is fun because they show how they picked up their lives after the state sued the shit out of them. everything they end up doing is so typical (as Janine says).. ghostbusters 1 seemed more naturally funny..." - you best not be raggin on ghost busters 2!!! Everything about it is spot on. 1. The slime, you gots to have some slime. 2. It has wotshisface (yanesh?)....the one that becomes hypnotised by the evil painting. 3. It has all the best 80's montages like the 'higher and higher' bit with the statue of liberty (fuckin yess!!!). The montage where the ghosts are taking over the city!!! 4. More slime, the bathtub is brilliant! 5. The bad guy is cooler, the plot has a more comfortable structure, and geek guy (wotshisface2) gets it on with her....y'know...the gal with new yoik accent :"ghowst bwustez, waddya want?" (<------sorry it's crap I know). But overall it's just so chocablocked with american cheese that you simply can't hate it.....can you???? GB 1 is all good but you just can't get american cliches, bubbling slime, and hollywood heros like you can with GHOST BUSTERS 2. oH AND THE SOUND TRACK IS COOLER. "I,I,I,I AINT AFRAID'A NO GHOSTS>!GHOST BUSTERS!" (singit!!!) |

i may come across as being critical towards ghostbusters 2, but i really do enjoy the film and have been watching it regularly ever since i was 7 years old. it just doesn't hold up i'm afraid. alot of the reasons you mentioned for liking it, are actually reasons why i feel it is not as good as the first. i preferred it after peckerhead (dean yeager) decided to shut the down the system and all the ghosts were set free. they use these subtle yet effective laserlike effects which i really enjoy. in general the movie is darker and more atmospheric plus the music is better. and like I said...it's funnier. the situations have more to them. there are way more LOLs. imhotep. |

I just had on the immortal Ghostbusters rap by RUN DMC earlier. Zeph: Meatballs is not without its charm - I DLed Meatballs IV the other day because it had Jack Nance (Eraserhead, Pete Martel from Twin Peaks) in it - it also had Corey Feldman as the lead... watch the original and #4 back to back and you'll be thinking the first is a masterpiece ;) |

^ haha, classic quote Fly. [EGON] (about Dana) I'd like to run some gynaecological tests on the mother [VENKMAN] Who wouldn't? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow, I didn't know there are 3 other installments in the series. Somebody must've thought the premise of the first film was rock-solid! I agree, though, the movie was not without its charms. I think I was unfairly expecting a great movie when I watched it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, yeah... Bill Murray in summer-camp hijinx.. the premise promises... As far as I know, the other three are just cash-ins on the name, at least two of them were changed to "Meatballs" after filming had begun and I think Nrs 2 and 3 are more soft-porn than "comedy".. no doubt you'll be renting em now :p |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha. love that line. |

|
|

haha, now I've got to see them. :p |

|

Wowzers brings back memories reading this thread. Or not in some cases, man I smoked too much pot a couple years ago :) Gotta get Darjeeling Limited when I get some cash, even if Bill's only fleetingly in it. I still watch Aquatic every few months and laugh like a total arse! |

News just in: Bill Murray's wife of 11 years files for divorce. Reasons: "abusive behavior, marijuana and alcohol addiction, and frequent abandonment." |

he always seemed like the abuser type to me |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yeah, I always thought so, too. bill abusing drugs and then his wife just seems like par for the course. |
