Then (IMO) he fell victim to indie flick overexposure (Royal Tannenbaums, Lost in Trans, Darjeeling, Coffee and Cigs, Life Aquatic, Broken Flowers, etc.)...
bingo
I can agree with a lot of these but would exclude Broken Flowers. Think this played on his persona to perfection as he spends almost the entire film in a sort of walking coma, semi reacting to what life throws at him.
One of my all time favourites but would be nice to see him do something a bit less dry again.
I'm not going to articulate my thoughts here very well as I'm feeling rough as a badgers arse, but is there a better use of fame than to just enjoy yourself, do stuff other people couldn't, but it makes their day?
Bill Murray is excellent, and exists in the same pantheon as Kevin Kline & Jeff Bridges for me.
Appreciated. Grew up watching Caddyshack, Stripes, SNL, etc. Dad loved him, older brother loved him, there was no getting around being a fan of Bill Murray for me.
Recently Jeff Bridges was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and brought some photos of wacky LP covers that looked like they were lifted directly from Waxidermy....rumor is he may even lurk there!?
I've said that his role in king pin was performance of the year, should have won an oscar for it. One of, if not the most, funny characters in a movie ever for me.
Approximately 10 years ago, Edith Head and I had a bowling challenge in which the winner would take something from the loser. Edith put her framed picture of Bill Murray on the line and I had an autographed picture of Tiffany.
I won, but I was nice enough not to take the picture away from Edith.
When I was watching Zombieland and they kept talking about him I was thinking "I wonder if he's pissed they had all this stuff about him in the movie," thinking he wasn't in the movie. Then he shows up and was hilarious.
I have no idea why people get excited over this guy.
Wow, you have just solidified yourself as the lamest dude ever to post on Soul Strut man. Challenging Bill Murray is unredeemable.

"Spidey," you are a known cornball. Known. I take your condemnation as further confirmation of the impeccable nature of my taste.
With all that Bill Murray hate, homie, you're playin yourself and with those skin tight jeans you're playin yourself And all that rah rah rah, you're playin yourself You're playin yourself, you're playin yourself..

saw him on Varick St one day with 2 women and i said "Mr. Murray HUGE FAN would you mind taking a pic with me?"
he said "can't sorry babe with these women"
i don't know why i even said a thing. it was just one of those moments
my friend sold him shoes and said he was the nicest guy ever
also heard he shows up randomly to Brooklyn hipster loft parties, drinks beer, hangs out and goes home

every moment of these clips is amazing. Bill is the best.
