get it together, man. Take up painting or something like Anthony Quinn did. You have really crossed into Bill Murray Cliche territory here.
and really: TWO girls named Sophie? that are friends?
c'mon, guy.
Is Bill Murray NYC's New Party Boy? (http://www.nypost.com/pagesixmag/issues/20081207/Bill+Murray+NYCs+New+Party+Boy?page=1)
-
My friend went to a Halloween house party somewhere in Florida and Bill Purrey showed up. He said he was a pretty decent guy, but was obviously taken back that Carl Spackler was drinking with his twentysomething buds.
-
Deadpan, detached and seeming a bit lonely,
You have to have money for that schtick to get you girls.
Also, his liver spots are visible in that photo. Time to pack it in.
-
I have a soft spot for the guy. If he's going through a tough time ~ it happens. Hope he comes through it for the better.
-
I agree with KtB. Stealing a golf cart in downtown Stockholm? Charming. This? Come on now with this.
-
When would you mark his downfall? Coffee and Cigarettes?
-
Leave him alone.
-
For me, this has nothing to do with his career.
-
Leave him alone.
-
Bill Murray can do no wrong in my book.

looks like he's doing alright to me
sheeeeeeeit
-
I really want to be in the "Leave him alone" crowd, but I'm a little concerned about the whole "may have beaten his wife" thing. I don't really care how many 20-somethings he parties with.
-
I think if any of us actually could live out the real Lost in Translation, we'd do it too. He's just clearly in a much better position to do it than me. I envy him.
Moments Later: Oh wait, I didn't know he beat his wife. What a scumbag.
-
Yeah I didn't realize that either. That fucking sucks, Bill Murray :(

Is it just me, or do those girls not look like twentysomethings? Sophomores in college at most.

A few things I picked up from Wikipedia and IMDB...
Bill Murray was married when he started an adulterous relationship with his second wife, who divorced him this past June.
He married his first wife when he was 30, during the filming of Stripes, in 1981. I don't know how old she was. They had two sons. They filed for divorce in 1994, because of the affair. The divorce became final some time in 1996.
The second wife had 3 sons with Murray before they were married; the birthdays are January 11, 1993, October 6, 1995, and January 27, 1997. They were married July 4, 1997. They had a fourth son, born May 30, 2001.
The second wife's birthday is May 11, 1966. She's almost 16 years younger than Bill Murray. Based on the date of birth of their first child together, it's very safe to assume that they started their (adulterous) relationship before her 26th birthday. She was a costumer on Scrooged (1988), Ghostbusters II (1989), and What About Bob? (1991). For that last film her credit on IMDB is costumer: Mr. Murray. So they met when she was 21 and he was 37, assuming that the filming for Scrooged happened in 1987.
I'm not saying that these facts paint a flattering picture of the guy, but it's not like his attraction to young women is anything new. If you backed him any time after Little Shop of Horrors this is the guy you were talking about. The evidence seems to point to somebody who is a terrible spouse and an absentee father. On the other hand, did you buy tickets to The Life Aquatic based on the actors' personal integrity? Is it that hard to believe that someone who has spent decades as an out sized comedic actor might not be as grounded as your uncle, the bank branch manager?
If you ask me, the guy who made the comment to him that he's "making bad life choices" is the dick in that Page Six article. What does that judgmental 24 year old chump know? Ever been married? Ever had a rough patch that you couldn't just walk away from with a call to your parents? No? Huh... that's strange. Drop me a line in 15 years and let me know if any of your self-righteousness has faded. Life throws you curveballs every once in a while, and as you get older it becomes harder to be right all the time.
And really, who wouldn't want Bill Murray to show up at their party? Are you kidding me?
-
Bill Murray's great, but Wes Anderson (after Rushmore) movies suck. I'm torn.
-
Bill Murray seems funny and charming and made 4-5 memorable movies in his lifetime and may or may not have beaten his wife and drank himself out of a marriage. The standards in Hollywood for being an authentically nice, funny or interesting guy seem seriously low and Bill Murray is above-average, but he doesn't walk on water.
Now Dan Ackroyd.... that dude's in the Zone.
-
Just think... he's the Murray brother they let out in public.

Speaking of...
The Pride of Staten Island was kind enough to post a link to the "Get a Life" archives last week (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,4576.0.html) and I've been watching every episode and re-appreciating/re-evaluating Brian Doyle-Murray.
Verdict:awesome.
-
I guess that my point was that there are, in my opinion, much more classier ways to ride out a late mid-life crisis.
for ex: just drop everything for a few years and do some long haul trucking (http://www.all-trucking-jobs.com/ATJ.asp?ID=2).

That's weird, I've been thinking about long-haul trucking a lot lately.

"Give me a break, said Daniel Maurer in New York magazine. The New York Post also “preposterously describes Murray as a ‘ghost’” in the night—“hilarious! A celebrity gets a drink at two places that aren’t the Beatrice and suddenly he’s Frances Farmer.”
This is just Bill Murray being Bill Murray, said John Del Signore in Gothamist. “He's rich, famous, single, perennially hip—and how cool is it that he's wandering among the little people instead of staying sequestered behind the velvet rope like his peers?” Murray can “crash our office party” any time."

Then again, perhaps he's just toying with us all. There's an urban legend that's gone round until no one is sure who it happened to, or if it happened at all. It was late one night, a few years ago, when a young man was walking through Union Square Park. He suddenly felt someone behind him, their hands over his eyes. When he turned in surprise, there was Bill Murray, his creased face leaning in close. Bill whispered, "No one is ever going to believe you," and then just walked away
.
I experienced a whole range of emotions while reading this paragraph.

im with you, jbissell. especially, "no one is going to believe you."
yikes.

If my face was ever famous enough to make this possible, finding situations where I could do this would be something I lived for every single day! It would bring me joy equivalent to the moments Tom Heaves people Ho that set him up perfectly for it. I'd have to be REALLY famous though. Any less than that, and I'd just look like a total asshole.

Wasn't this you? Or was it some other FOT? Or does Bill Murray just say this to everyone?

I think Liz Noise had a similar (but significantly less whimsical) anecdote.

Yeah, I thought that was just her seeing Bill and him mouthing "I know!". That's funny. It's the "late one night walking in a park, someone sneaking up behind you and covering your eyes" thing that gets me. It's funny, but at the same time, I probably would've blown my rape whistle.

I'd be too afraid of getting stabbed.

I read the same story on another board (could've swore it was here), except in that version he headlocked a guy as they were crossing the street from opposite sides.

I heard about an encounter in Vegas. What happened was that in a hotel/casino some guy stepped into an elevator, and there were a bunch of very large African American men that looked like bodyguards, and some dogs. He couldn't see who they were trying to protect. One of the bodyguards yelled out "Sit down, boy," so the guy sat down on the elevator floor. They all started laughing and the guy stood up, realizing they were talking to the dog.
So the guy goes to his room, washes up a little, and then goes back down the the casino floor and gambles a little. When he goes back up to his room, there's this enormous fruit basket. Like 6 feet tall, full of every kind of fruit imaginable. Inside, is $100,000 worth of casino chips. There's a note attached: "Thanks for giving me the best laugh I've had in a long time. - Bill Murray."
I'm not sure where I heard that story.

I thought someone called in to the show with a crazy meeting Bill Murray story once?

I'm beginning to suspect Improv Everywhere is behind all this.

Yeah. I loved that story. They went into some store and spotted Bill Murray, and then Bill Murray feigned surprise and gasped "I know!"
I'm beginning to suspect Improv Everywhere is behind all this.
I also like this one from the Page Six comments' section:
Sidebar: 16 years ago we were driving in NYC and came to a stop near Columbus Circle. My then 2 year old daughter was in her car seat next to me when Bill Murrary walked straight up to our car, leaned in the window and said "Hey, is that baby for sale?" We laughed. He said "No, seriously, I heard that there are babies for sale today and I was wondering how much you want for that one?". We said she's not for sale. He gave us an 'oh well look' and said "Thanks anyway, I guess I'll have to just keep looking..." The light changed and we drove off. Talk about improvisation!

My friend called in with one! It was controversial at the time. He got GOMP'd for besmirching Bill Murray. I didn't know he was bill murray guy until later. It wasn't that crazy. He and his brother were little kids and they were playing basketball and Bill Murray appeared to play some hoops as well. I believe this was probably mid-80's era. Ghostbusters-era or in the years thereafter. Anyway, Bill Murray asked to play some hoops or something, then they sat down for a little bit. The little brother, who was like 7 or 8 asked Bill Murray if he saw some movie (wish I could remember) and Bill Murray was like "Haven't had a chance to see it" or some such and the big brother (a.k.a. the caller) who was probably like 11 was like "I heard it sucked." and Bill Murray was like "I heard you're an asshole". The End.
Epilogue: Years later either the caller or the caller's brother ran into Bill Murray yet again at a restaurant and actually brought up the incident to the by-now-gracious-and-older Murray and he apologized and said "I was probably drunk or something".

This reminds me of one of my favorite moments in Rushmore: Bill talking on the phone and blocking that kid's shot.

Actually, that might not have been pure improvisation but a little reference to the scene in the fancy restaurant in The Blues Brothers where John Belushi leans over and in a strange accent says, "how much for the children?"
I did phone in with a Bill Murray story. It was in the middle of the afternoon and I was walking down Columbus Avenue around 72nd street. Bill Murray and a beautiful woman came out from an art prints store on a corner. I was shocked and stood totally still in the middle of the sidewalk looking around at the other pedestrians looking for some confirmation at what I was viewing. Bill Murray saw me, imitated my posture (stock still with mouth open) and he mouthed the words, "I know!" It was a pretty exciting moment for me.
Also, I would like to say that the photo of Bill Murray with those young women looks like millions of other photographs that people take when coming upon celebrities in public. I don't condone the bad behavior but I also don't believe every party story that I've ever heard about people supposedly bumping into celebrities.
I'm not on Facebook so I can't completely vouch for this but I'm told that all of Fred Armisen's Faceboook photos consist of pictures that he has found on the web of random people posing for pictures with him.

I'm not sure where I heard that story.
One night I was walking along the beach with Bill Murray, and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to Bill Murray. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that several times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest time in my life, when this...this thing happened around late 1996 that I don't want to get into here, but, ugh, believe you me, not a good time.
This really bothered me and I questioned Bill Murray about it. "Bill, you said that once I became a fan of yours, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome time in my life there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in the time when I needed you most, you left me."
Bill Murray replied, "Oh, that was when I was over in London, filming The Man Who Knew Too Little. Did you ever see that one? It's got Pete Gallagher and...Val Kilmer's ex-wife, I forget her name. I know it's not my best work or anything, but it's a good, light little comedy spoof that gets slept on. Definitely better than the one with the elephant. You should check it out next time it's on cable."
And I went home and I saw a few days later that one of the Encore channels was playing The Man Who Knew Too Little and I taped it on my DVR and watched it one afternoon when I was waiting for my clothes to finish drying. And I knew then that Bill Murray was right, that it was a pretty good little movie carried by Bill's limitless charisma and a delightful turn from Alfred Molina.

From Entertainment Weekly: (http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/12/bill-murray-mos.html?cnn=yes)
At the Halloween party, [Bill Murray] reportedly helped the host pick up spilled beer bottles. When hanging out with the pretty girls in the bar, he bought them champagne and offered to send them awesome avocados.
Is that a euphemism?

What happened was that in a hotel/casino some guy stepped into an elevator, and there were a bunch of very large African American men that looked like bodyguards, and some dogs. He couldn't see who they were trying to protect. One of the bodyguards yelled out "Sit down, boy," so the guy sat down on the elevator floor. They all started laughing and the guy stood up, realizing they were talking to the dog.
So the guy goes to his room, washes up a little, and then goes back down the the casino floor and gambles a little. When he goes back up to his room, there's this enormous fruit basket. Like 6 feet tall, full of every kind of fruit imaginable. Inside, is $100,000 worth of casino chips. There's a note attached: "Thanks for giving me the best laugh I've had in a long time. - Bill Murray."
I'm not sure where I heard that story.
I can't be the only one who remembers that story.
What was the story, it was something about a fan going bonkers wanting to take his picture and not believe it was really Bill Murray, and Murray says something like " I cant believe it either"? I can't remember the exact details.

I'm remembered a story where a guy passes Murray on (or perhaps crossing) the street and gets all excited, and Murray just looks at him and says, "I know!"

This was a woman from Chicago who works at NPR. She hasn't called for a while, and I don't remember her name.

I think this was Liz from Chicago, but I'm not sure.

Guy, gal. One of those.

Yeah that was the story. Jesus my recollection of that story was bad.

So was mine, since the guy was in fact Liz Noise, who is not a guy.

"For a follow-up, he began his appearance Wednesday on “Late Show With David Letterman” with some literal Dumpster diving — as in, he went for a swim in a waste bin filled with water and what appeared to be some actual garbage."

Boycott Bill Murray for a Better America (http://christwire.org/2010/07/boycott-bill-murray-for-a-better-america/) (warning: deranged)
Mr. Murray likes to play the gentle, befuddled older man, one who could ask a child to help him find a puppy in a quiet corner of a public park. Yet once you agree, it’s too late. You’ve been drawn into his celebrity orbit, like some delicious secret Bill has deigned to share with the modest creature that is you. Yes, this is the Bill Murray experience, showering the simple with his celebrity charm in the dark alleyways of America. But what is the endpoint here? The pattern is familiar to criminologists and it’s not hard to draw similarities to the lives of Jeffrey Dahlmer or John Wayne Gacy. Murray has not yet been charged with anything more than narcotic arrests and drunk driving, but at the very least parents should be deeply concerned. Is it not better to be safe than sorry when dealing with a man who may be the next national scandal for his bloodthirst and perversion? Would you not do everything in your power to protect your children from death and failure?

We need adults who act like adults: grandfathers who impart patriotism on their offspring, dedicated employees who keep the engines of our economy greased irregardless of their aging, noble gentlemen who are humble before their great God. We do not need perverts like Bill Murray lusting after our beautiful children with a reckless almost urgent need to tear them from innocence so he can insanely explore his lost, burning childhood on their soft bodies on old couches in dirty apartments in the ghettos of America. What have we lost? What will we ever gain? What does it mean when we say that Jesus died for our sins? What has happened to the country I once loved!

Oh my word!
He has also been spotted by gossip reporters and police investigators showing up uninvited at “hipster” parties in places like Williamsburg, Brooklyn, once a Jewish enclave now a secret community of bearded 20-somethings wasting their parent’s hard-earned money on cocaine and clothes.
A "secret community"?!
And then down at the bottom, a link to "Stephen Baldwin: Portrait of a Christian- American Hero."
Wait a second... this is a joke site, isn't it?

Now, with posts like "With Unemployment Benefits Extended, Rates of Domestic Masturbation And Sodomy Are Poised to Skyrocket," why would you say that?

For my sake I hope that would have been obvious had I actually paid attention to the other articles on the site (then again it should have been obvious by the time he brought up Williamsburg).
Are they making money off this site? Maybe it should be called Christthesekidshavetimeontheirhandsforce.

They probably make some middlin' ad revenue but it's never been funny enough or fooled enough people to generate a ton of traffic. People have been linking to there for a couple years via Reddit, Urlesque, etc, but they don't seem to have the writing chops to be the next Onion or whatever.

The comments section is where the lines really start to blur.

Slightly off topic. Well not really. But I have heard Bill Murray is a follower of Gurdjieff. A Russian mystic who a number of famous people have followed. SOmeone in my family is quite deep into it, and says that if you go to the Gurdjieff meetings in San Francisco, you can hang out with him. Not sure if this is true. But quite interesting. In my experience the people that are into Gurdjieff are really intelligent and good people. There's a little too much indoctrination and overtly mystical stuff in if for my taste.

Christwire is the place that broke the story about Olivia Munn leading young men to sin.
