dib Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I finally did buy National Treasure and I enjoyed it. I also bought The Life Aquatic and thought it was a festering pile of Dog manure. Murray should have quit after Ghostbusters.

Murray should have quit after Ghostbusters. 338205[/snapback] Bill Murray should have quit? Are you serious? The man keeps getting better. Look at what he has done since he peaked according to you: Scrooged Quick Change What About Bob Groundhog Day (Should have been nominated for an Oscar here) Kingpin (one of his best comic characters ever) The Man Who knew too little (Dumb movie, yet Murray was hillarious in it) Wildthings (T&A / sex thriller, but again Murray steals it) Rushmore (again, he deserved an oscar for his portrayal of Blume)
Peter Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Yes. I thought it was pretty good. I especially liked the actress who played the sister of the king. Very talented.
Arkady Renko Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I was rather interested in it but stayed away once I heard from the critics and more about how they were going to portray the time period.
CosmicBills Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 uhmm... Lost in Translation? 338355[/snapback] I left that one off on purpose. Murray was good in it, but I didn't care for the film. Thought it was much ado about nothing personally.

She needs to blow her nose; she always sounds like she has a cold.
drnykterstein Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 ok, well we better at least give it honorable mention.

USMCBillsFan Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I'm going to a free preview on base of The Longest Yard on Saturday. It looks pretty funny to me.
CosmicBills Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 ok, well we better at least give it honorable mention. 338363[/snapback] Fair enough:) I left off a bunch of his other films too. But it's hard to deny that Murray has done a lot of good work, even in films that weren't as good as his performance. Not only can he be funny, he can also act. Something that not enough people give him credit for.
gantrules Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Osmosis Jones. I think that's one of the funniest family movies ever.
Reuben Gant Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 I'm going to a free preview on base of The Longest Yard on Saturday. It looks pretty funny to me. 338378[/snapback] I'm going to wait on this one. The one with Burt is one of my all-time favorites. I just can't imagine Adam Sandler improving upon it. Let us know what you think.
Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Murray was hilarious in Stripes as well...
Dr. Fong Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I finally did buy National Treasure and I enjoyed it. I also bought The Life Aquatic and thought it was a festering pile of Dog manure. Murray should have quit after Ghostbusters. 338205[/snapback] So you liked National Treasure, but hated Life Aquatic and think Bill Murray should have quit after Ghostbusters despite his performances in movies such as Rushmore, Lost in Translation, Kingpin, What about Bob?, Groundhog Day, etc...... Where's that ignore button?

Where's that ignore button? 338756[/snapback] I think what makes National Treasure so dissapointing was its potential. Good cast, good writers, good director. But it just never came together.
Simon Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 I didn't care much for the Royal T'baums but I thought The Life Aquatic was hysterical. I keep waiting for somebody to register as Kingsley Zissou.
