dib Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs to blow her nose; she always sounds like she has a cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBillsFan Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gantrules Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Osmosis Jones. I think that's one of the funniest family movies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Gant Posted May 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Murray was hilarious in Stripes as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
