Short responses regarding the Bill Murray movies I have watched so far.
Monday December 13th - Ghostbusters
Bill Murray's character in Ghostbusters is just downright amazing. I really don't get what Dana Barret's problem is. I would go on a date with Venkman in a fucking second. The movie is also full of excellent one liners which I have been dropping incessantly all week.
I had not watched Ghostbusters since I was a kid so it was very much like watching it for the first time. I realized I actually have all three of them jumbled up in my brain so I will have to watch the next two during my Bill Murray-a-thon.
Tuesday December 14th - Caddyshack
Bill Murray's character is not funny. However, despite my usual disgust with Rodney Dangerfield I found his character to be a pleasant foil to the judge. His character was the only one who made me chuckle out loud the whole movie. This movie was also about a half an hour too long to keep my interest.
Wednesday December 15th - Groundhog Day
This movie bored me for the first act, I actually got up and made cheddar cheese scones during it. I did find a few moments particularly awesome however. The first time he remembers not to step in the puddle, and watches another man do so is probably the most hilarious and simple moments of the film. I actually laughed heartily for a good moment afterward. I was also especially fond of when he watches jeopardy and knows all the answers... BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I WOULD DO TOO. This movie also made me think about how fucking dumb groundhogs day is and now I'm curious as to the background behind it, anybody?
In order of preference:
1)Ghostbusters
2)Caddyshack
3)Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day, in my opinion, is a fantastic movie. I have a renewed love of it after listening to Stephen Tobolowsky talk about it: http://www.slashfilm.com/the-tobolowsky-files-ep-29-the-classic/
Also, not to take Dana's side, but the chick had a ghost in her fridge. I'd say she's got some stuff to deal with before thinking of dating.
Awesome! Thanks Jeff!
I *guess* Dana had pressing issues, but if I had a ghost in my fridge I'd be even more into snuggling up with a MOTHER FUCKING GHOSTBUSTER
