    Bullshit, "Whatever you do, don't cross the streams" can be worked into any conversation.

    well it's been a long time since I've been in a wrigley field bathroom

    You're missing the point. You've all heard that something called Ghostbusters existed, she didn't.
    It's such a staple of pop culture that knitdan can quote it without seeing it.

    And she wasn't even that young, so no reason to feel old Crimsondude.

  • CrimsondudeCrimsondude Registered User regular
    Did she grow up in a cave?

    Honestly, now...


    Is she a bear?

    I'm pretty sure even Fuzzbutt's heard of Ghostbusters.

    I can easily imagine someone in their early 20's not knowing about ghostbusters. They got their own stuff

    I don't recognise any of these Ghostbusters quotes. The idea that Ghostbusters gets quoted a lot is weird to me.

    When I was watching the new RoboCop I was thinking about how awesome it would be if someone rescored it with the soundtrack to DX Human Revolution

    I almost never hear Ghostbusters quotes

    I didn't see it for a long time though, I think I was 19 or 20 when I saw it for the first time

    I can imagine not knowing who Bill Murray is, he's been all about the indie films since Rushmore back in '97

    People that were born when he started his indie stint are now 17

    EDIT: Oops, it was '98, and those people would be 16. Still!

    This thread is beginning to make me feel old as fuck. No Ghostbusters, Eddie Murphy action comedies or early Schwarznegger.. Kids these days, get off my lawn and so forth.

    Whenever I'm trying to explain something but can't find the words I give up and shrug/exclaim "he is Vigo!" 2 is actually full of awesome quotes. It's on all the time on Australian tv. Also I can imagine not having seem the movie or not knowing who bill Murray is, but I can't imagine not recognising or know about ghostbusters, the theme tune, who u gonna call, etc.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    So what happened with Eddie Murphy anyways

    I remember Tower Heist was supposed to be this shot at bringing him back

    And it was actually relatively well-received and did good box office numbers, so...where the hell has he been since then

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah I am surprised by Bill Murray not because of stuff like Ghostbusters or Groundhog Day but because he is still a really popular pop culture icon to this day and BILL FUCKING MURRAY is a thing I've seen all over the place, from T-Shirts to posters

    Age is not an excuse, I think people should be more proactive in seeking out media that is outside of their lifespan.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    If you're way into film or want to be, sure

    If you're just a casual viewer? Nah

    People watch what they wanna watch, which is usually new stuff

    I don't really have any positive emotions regarding Ghostbusters. That shit was ambrosia when I was a kid though.

    Fuck off and die.
  • MacGuffinMacGuffin Registered User regular
    In case of old Bill Murray movies I'd always recommend Groundhog Day over Ghostbusters.
    Both are funny, but Groundhog Day is profound.

    The Lego Movie was fucking fantastic! I did not expect it to be this good. It was just so much fun and the twist in the third act worked wonderfully too.

  • Crimson KingCrimson King Registered User regular
    it's because of that urban legend about how bill murray will come up to people and take a bite out of their sandwich and whisper "no-one will ever believe you" and run away

    i say urban legend but it could easily be true

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    From a GQ interview:
    Last question. I have to know, because I love this story and want it to be true. There have been stories about you sneaking up behind people in New York City, covering their eyes with your hands, and saying: Guess who. And when they turn around, they see Bill Murray and hear the words "No one will ever believe you."

    [long pause] I know. I know, I know, I know. I've heard about that from a lot of people. A lot of people. I don't know what to say. There's probably a really appropriate thing to say. Something exactly and just perfectly right. [long beat, and then he breaks into a huge grin] But by God, it sounds crazy, doesn't it? Just so crazy and unlikely and unusual?

    I'd like to believe he does it

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    I believe it less as time goes on because the story changes to be like 6 different things

    I don't think Bill Murray uses "no one will ever believe you" as his catchphrase

    Well duh. If he used something obvious, people would believe it.

    This is an attitude I am increasingly impatient with.

    The idea that I have somehow "missed out" because I haven't experienced some arbitrary piece of 80s pop culture is just silly.

    I have seen parts of Ghostbusters and Caddyshack. Neither gave me any desire to see them in their entirety, and frankly all the good lines are so over quoted that I don't need to see them to get the idea anyway.

    You know, I very rarely heard Ghostbusters quoted.

    You and me, Zon. Let's change the world into a better place.

    I've been waiting my whole life for this invite!

    I'm pretty sure I've seen photos online of him showing up un-announced at random parties and serving drinks, and washing up afterwards.

    Remember everyone, in movies, tv shows, music, and pretty much all forms of media, there was more of it than you could consume in a lifetime dedicated to it a long time ago. They are only making more, you will never catch up, there will be gems you miss. Everybody just breathe, try and consume stuff they like, and move on. All stating "You have not lived until you have seen X!" does is attempt to position yourself above someone for an arbitrary reason.

    On a happier note, my favorite Bill Murray story is the one about him showing up at a bar with Rza and Gza, and letting themselves behind the bar. They start taking drink orders, talking patrons through complicated drinks, promising something special for everyone. No matter what the person ordered, they received a shot of tequila.

    Michael Keaton acted extremely well in Robocop.

    He was not great in Robocop as Robocop the movie forgot what it was.

    I get the feeling a director's cut would help flesh out the movie a bit. It seems like there's a jump in Murphy's case, or I may have just missed it

    Geebs is it possible that you don't actually like musicals

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    No, I like plenty of musicals. And not just weird ones like Avenue Q. I mean, I like Fiddler on the Roof, the Music Man and Singin' in the Rain a lot, and Wicked wasn't terrible. It's just really hard to look at all these STREET TOUGHS look menacing and then just...start prancing out of nowhere

    Is this like, some kind of meta film where they make a time machine to send someone in back to prevent such an occurrence from happening?
