Bill Murray Appreciation Post

Has there ever been one yet on the strut?From SXSW...GZA on Bill Murray peer pressure."I started hanging out with Bill Murray. I got so wasted. Then, I started hearin' about the show later on, and I was like, Show? What show?" "It started off with some beers. I actually forget the name of the beer - it was dark, like a Guinness. It had a funny, foreign name. I drank maybe four of those, which was cool. I probably drank two on stage, throughout the show. I had a shot too. After that [first] show, we went across the street to this bar that Bill was in earlier, and he just started drinkin', man. Shots was goin' down, down, down. A couple of more drinks, and boom! You know when it hits you? Then dude starts talkin' about, "Come on, we've gotta go do this other show." I was like "what!" I was messed up. Most people could see, I was out of it. Lesson learned."I can't imagine ordering in a bar being served by Murray and asking for something and getting tequila instead. Would anyone every complain? I highly doubt it.

Has there ever been a really shitty Murray movie? Besides Garfield?The Razor's Edge is under rated. I'm really hoping Ghostbusters III doesn't suck.

    Was thinking that he got no mention in the "I don't know anyone who doesn't like..." thread.

    I spent a few summers on Martha's Vineyard and saw Murray once in Oak Bluffs. He had and ice cream cone in his hand and a huge grin and behind him were like 8 or 9 little kids all following him in a row with their own ice cream cones. If that doesn't make you smile nothing will.

    i saw Bill a couple times last year at Austin City Limits. He was rocking out to Beck and Band of Horses.
    he's such an interesting dude...but i definitely didn't want to go up and distract him from the good time he was having. I overheard some dude at the club saying to him "dude...Rushmore basically, like, changed my life."

    It was interesting, but ultimately so-so.

    I'll forever ride for this one though...

    Man, I really hate to sound like the lone debby downer here, but I honestly don't really get it. Even the coffee and cigarettes thing, I just don't really get it. Although I haven't seen a lot of his 80s stuff though, except for ghostbusters. but that "rant" clip wasn't funny, and that interview wasn't funny to me either.

    I did see groundhog day in the 90s but I don't remember anything about it.

    Stripes was essential memorization in my childhood neighborhood.

    Funny, a friend just showed me hipster-y picture of Bill Murray hanging out with some friends in Detroit. Seems like he's on the scene these days- getting it in.

    His SNL work, Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Scrooged, Groundhog's; no one's f*cking with these.

    Then a brief, amazing resurgence with Rushmore and Kingpin.

    Then (IMO) he fell victim to indie flick overexposure (Royal Tannenbaums, Lost in Trans, Darjeeling, Coffee and Cigs, Life Aquatic, Broken Flowers, etc.)...

    Now I'm sad to say I hardly check for him.

    "Appreciation Post"


    Hate all you want. Dude had more people laughing in one of his last film appearances (Which was for 3 mins) than most dudes you could post up in the last 5 years.
