I actually don't find Bill Murray funny at all, but I have avoided most of his films, so my opinion may not hold much water. I have seen the commercial scene in LiT and hated it. I don't think Groundhog Day is very funny. And I agree that Ed Wood outside of Martin Landau is pretty boring.

I think both performances are pretty good. Depends on what you are looking for. But yes, the Henrik thing would have been genius. You gotta tell me these things before April 2nd. The Murray thing was just a quick, impulse idea. “Were you being serious when you said Murray was a better HST than Depp?”

It's not particularly funny and I thought it was pretty obvious. But it sure did stir up a hornet's nest. Which is why I couldn't let it go. So just to set the record straight, I like just about <em>all</em> of Murray's movies. I personally think he's comedic gold. Groudhog Day is one of my favorite comedies of the past... ever. I still can't fathom that you guys bought in to this. And yes, as some of you have figured out, this was my attempt at an April 1st gag.

I seriously don't get Bill Murray's humor. It's not really dry. It's slapstick sort of disguised as dry. Sometimes the screenplay actually has some funny lines, but the way Murray characterizes them just feels like "trying too hard" to me. Dunno. You should leave me alone about it anyway.
