Bill Murray

September 1st, 2005

Ever since I was a child and I saw Ghostbusters and Stripes. I was struck by something that I didn’t see in other people on screen. Yes Eddie Murphy was funny but all so flamboyent and got his laughs from being a jerk. But Bill was light, quick witted, so sudtle. In my childhood I would say Bill was Bugs Bunny and Eddie was Woodwood Pecker, Murray was more of a get even or crafty in his sceams. Murphy just pecked your freaking head and laughed at you.

That’s what I thought was funny about him. The magic word thing with Walter Peck (Ghostbusters) and the funny spatular thing with the girl on the stove (Stripes). I still love his work. If I could meet anyone person I think he’d be in the top five or the top one.
