Bill Murray is a genius – that much we know. He’s also one of the funniest people ever, and one of my very first celebrity crushes (along with Eddie Murphy and Kermit the Frog). Bill Murray is a reclusive bastard. He only makes movies when he wants to make movies, and that’s a rare thing. Rarer still is actually getting Bill Murray to promote one of his films. Maybe he’ll do Letterman. Beyond that, not much. So it’s surprising that he granted a really extensive interview to GQ Magazine to promote a supporting part in his latest outing, an independent film called Get Low, which stars (in the lead role) Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek. Since I don’t want to waste any more space with my prattle, here are the highlights of Murray’s GQ piece (full GQ piece here).

You have a lot of lines in [Get Low] that get tons of laughs I doubt were on the page. It’s all in the rhythm, the delivery. How do you pitch something like that? How do you make something out of nothing?
I have developed a kind of different style over the years. I hate trying to re-create a tone or a pitch. Saying, “I want to make it sound like I made it sound the last time”? That’s insane, because the last time doesn’t exist. It’s only this time. And everything is going to be different this time. There’s only now. And I don’t think a director, as often as not, knows what is going to play funny anyway. As often as not, the right one is the one that they’re surprised by, so I don’t think that they have the right tone in their head. And I think that good actors always—or if you’re being good, anyway—you’re making it better than the script. That’s your f-cking job. It’s like, Okay, the script says this? Well, watch this. Let’s just roar a little bit. Let’s see how high we can go. But you asked how you get the comic pitch. Well, obviously a lot of it is rhythm. And as often as not, it’s the surprising rhythm. In life and in movies, you can usually guess what someone is going to say—you can actually hear it—before they say it. But if you undercut that just a little, it can make you fall off your chair. It’s small and simple like that. You’re always trying to get your distractions out of the way and be as calm as you can be [breathes in and out slowly], and emotion will just drive the machine. It will go through the machine without being interrupted, and it comes out in a rhythm that’s naturally funny. And that funny rhythm is either humorous or touching. It can be either one. But it’s always a surprise. I really don’t know what’s going to come out of my mouth.

Is the third Ghostbusters movie happening? What’s the story with that?
It’s all a bunch of crock. It’s a crock. There was a story—and I gotta be careful here, I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. When I hurt someone’s feelings, I really want to hurt them. [laughs] Harold Ramis said, Oh, I’ve got these guys, they write on The Office, and they’re really funny. They’re going to write the next Ghostbusters. And they had just written this movie that he had directed.

Year One.
Year One. Well, I never went to see Year One, but people who did, including other Ghostbusters, said it was one of the worst things they had ever seen in their lives. So that dream just vaporized. That was gone. But it’s the studio that really wants this thing. It’s a franchise. It’s a franchise, and they made a whole lot of money on Ghostbusters.

Oh, sure, I remember. The soundtrack. The lunchboxes. The action figures.
Right. And it’s still one of the biggest movies of all time. And ever since that story broke, everywhere I go people are like, “So are you gonna make that movie?” I was down in Austin at South by Southwest, and you go at it hard down there—fun but, man, you need to sleep for days afterwards. Anyhow, I got into it one night with a bunch of younger people who were like, Oh, I love Peter Venkman! I grew up with Peter Venkman! We got to talking, and the more we talked about it, the more I thought, Oh Christ, I should just do this thing.

A generation awaits, for sure. You weren’t even supposed to play that role, right?
Yeah. Originally it was Belushi. Like a lot of my movies. [beat] God, John died, what was it, twenty-five years ago?

It was ’82, right?
Yeah, I think it was ’82. I dunno. That part of life is getting fuzzy.

I read that you wanted to play a ghost in the movie. That’s kind of brilliant.
Well, I hadn’t wanted to do the movie. They kept asking, and I kept saying no. So once upon a time I said, just joking: “If you kill me off in the first reel, then fine, I’ll do it.” And then supposedly they came up with an idea where they kill me off and I was a ghost in the movie. Kinda clever, really.

But has the Zombieland cameo stolen that gag?
[genuinely confused] But that was a zombie. Not a ghost.

Okay. Well, how about Garfield? Can you explain that to me? Did you just do it for the dough?
No! I didn’t make that for the dough! Well, not completely. I thought it would be kind of fun, because doing a voice is challenging, and I’d never done that. Plus, I looked at the script, and it said, “So-and-so and Joel Coen.” And I thought: Christ, well, I love those Coens! They’re funny. So I sorta read a few pages of it and thought, Yeah, I’d like to do that. I had these agents at the time, and I said, “What do they give you to do one of these things?” And they said, “Oh, they give you $50,000.” So I said, “Okay, well, I don’t even leave the f-ckin’ driveway for that kind of money.”

And it’s not like you’re helping out an indie director by playing Garfield.
Exactly. He’s in 3,000 newspapers every day; he’s not hurtin’. Then this studio guy calls me up out of nowhere, and I had a nice conversation with him. No bullsh-t, no schmooze, none of that stuff. We just talked for a long time about the movie. And my agents called on Monday and said, “Well, they came back with another offer, and it was nowhere near $50,000.” And I said, “That’s more befitting of the work I expect to do!” So they went off and shot the movie, and I forgot all about it. Finally, I went out to L.A. to record my lines. And usually when you’re looping a movie, if it takes two days, that’s a lot. I don’t know if I should even tell this story, because it’s kind of mean. [beat] What the hell? It’s interesting. So I worked all day and kept going, “That’s the line? Well, I can’t say that.” And you sit there and go, What can I say that will make this funny? And make it make sense? And I worked. I was exhausted, soaked with sweat, and the lines got worse and worse. And I said, “Okay, you better show me the whole rest of the movie, so we can see what we’re dealing with.” So I sat down and watched the whole thing, and I kept saying, “Who the hell cut this thing? Who did this? What the f-ck was Coen thinking?” And then they explained it to me: It wasn’t written by that Joel Coen.

And the pieces fall into place.
[shakes head sadly] At least they had what’s-her-name. The mind reader, pretty girl, really curvy girl, body’s one in a million? What’s her name? Help me. You know who I mean.

Jennifer Love Hewitt?
Right! At least they had her in good-looking clothes. Best thing about the movie. But that’s all ugly. That’s inappropriate. That’s just… [laughs] That’s why, when they say, “Any regrets?” at the end of Zombieland, I say, “Well, maybe Garfield.”

Just out of curiosity, since you crossed paths way back in the day: Have you seen Community? What do you think of what Chevy Chase is doing?
I’m hoping it’s funny. It looks kind of funny. Chevy in life can really be funny. I don’t see him that often anymore, but in life he’s a hell of a lot more fun than I am—he’s always going; he really, really, really wants to make people laugh. But I haven’t watched it. What about the other show that has the girl from Saturday Night Live?

Parks and Recreation? That is the best comedy on TV right now, to my eyes.
That’s good. I want those things to work, but I’m out of touch. I have no idea. I never saw the original Office. I never saw this Office. I never even saw Clerks. Like I never saw, what’s-his-name, Larry David’s show.

Curb Your Enthusiasm?
No! The other one. With the other guy.

Seinfeld?
Seinfeld! I never saw Seinfeld.

Come on.
Really! I never saw Seinfeld until the final episode, and that’s the only one I saw. And it was terrible. I’m watching, thinking, “This isn’t funny at all. It’s terrible!”

So what the hell do you watch, then? Sports?
I watch sports, I watch movies, Current TV on the satellite—I kind of like that. Honestly, I’m just easily bored. C-SPAN can be really great. Like the night Obama won the election, C-SPAN was the greatest. There were no announcers, just Chicago. It was just that crowd in Grant Park, and it was just f-ckin’ jazz. You know, it was just wow. And that’s my town, you know? It was just: “Oh, my God, it’s gonna happen! [getting genuinely excited] It’s gonna happen!” You just saw the pictures of it, like, oh, there’s someone from the Northwest Side, there’s someone from the South Side, someone from the suburbs. It was the most truly American thing you’ve ever seen. [pause] Oh God, I get jazzed just thinkin’ about it. I don’t know anyone that wasn’t crying. It was just: Thank God this long national nightmare is over.

You haven’t spent a lot of time in LA? I would have thought that would have dragged you out there all the time.
No, no, no. Never. It just never took. It’s like the first day you check into a hotel in L.A. there’s a message under your door. The second day, there’s eleven messages under your door. The third day, there’s thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy messages. And I realized that they just want fresh blood. They. Just. Want. Fresh. Blood. You gotta get the hell out of there. And you really feel, if you live in New York, that you’re three hours ahead of them—I mean that literally. It’s like, Oh man, we gotta help these people! And the longer you stay there, the less ahead of them you get, and then you’re one of them. No way, man. Not for me.

Did you cross paths with John Hughes at all? Both of you are Chicago guys. He worked with some of your friends.
I don’t think I’d have known him if I bumped into him. I was kind of surprised they gave him a big thing at the Oscars. I mean, I remember Hal Ashby barely got mentioned, and this guy made half a dozen unbelievable movies. The Breakfast Club is really an American gem, though. An amazing film. As important as any of Marty [Scorsese]‘s movies. It’s just a real f-ckin’ piece. And those kids were never better than that, and he let ‘em roll. Dunno. Never met him. I guess he was famous for shooting 10 million feet of film. Steve Martin said to me once, “You’d hate him. He’d say, ‘Do this, where you stick something in your nose!’ ” That kind of stuff drives me nuts.

[From GQ]

There’s so much more in the whole piece that I didn’t have the space to include. He talks about his 800 number – the one that producers, writers and directors can call if they want to offer him a part, and Bill just says matter-of-factly: “Well, it’s what I finally went to. I have this phone number that they call and talk. And then I listen. I just sort of decide. It’s exhausting otherwise. I don’t want to have a relationship with someone if I’m not going to work with them. If you’re talking about business, let’s talk about business, but I don’t want to hang out and bullsh-t…. I don’t like to work. I only like working when I’m working.” There’s also Bill talking sh-t about Dan Ackroyd (“Danny is… Canadian.”). He also talks about how much he wants to direct again, and how he’s friends with a few of the older film critics and he hangs out with them in Venice! Also – now that we know Bill Murray is a fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt (or her body), should we give her a temporary pass? Yes, I think we should.

Bill Murray has brought laughter to audiences for more than 30 years, introduced to the public at large on Saturday Night Live in 1976 and starring in movies as diversely funny as Caddy Shack and Lost In Translation.  In roles from his most juvenile to his most quirky, he’s put smiles on people’s faces.  But last May the smile disappeared from Murray’s face when his wife filed for divorce.

It was last May that Murray says the bottom dropped out when his wife of nearly 11 years filed for divorce. In the papers filed by Jennifer Butler Murray, she alleged that Murray abused her and was addicted to alcohol and marijuana.

“That was devastating,” Murray said.  “That was the worst thing that ever happened to me in my entire life.”

A judge ruled that Murray’s four children would live with their mother, plummeting the actor into months of depression.

“I was just dead, just broken,” he said of the situation.  “When you’re really in love with someone and this happens–I never had anything like this happen.  It’s like your faith in people is destroyed because the person you trusted the most you can no longer trust at all…The person you know isn’t there anymore.”

[From OK! Magazine]

It wouldn’t be a stretch to believe that there was some substance use interspersed in that, in looking over Murray’s Wikipedia, it says he dropped out of med school after being busted in an airport for marijuana possession.  But Murray seems genuinely surprised and hurt by the level of accusations levied in the divorce.  Much to his credit, though, he seems to have come out the other side of it with a higher level of insight and positivity.

”I’ve had a great deal of success in life — not just money or fame or anything like that — I just feel like I’ve done well in many areas of life,” said Murray. ”I’ve learned how to live and I think I’ve learned things about living. It’s almost like: `OK, you learned that much, now let’s try this. Let’s see how you can do if this happens to you.”’

[From OK! Magazine]

Murray has certainly grown past his What About Bob? style of humor in recent years and I’ve held the belief since Lost In Translation that he’s entered a more introspective, somewhat sad phase of life.  Still funny, but understated and melancholy.  A much more enjoyable genre of movie has resulted in my opinion, but the old sophomoric form of humor that made Murray famous certainly had, and has, it’s place. 

A third installment of the extremely popular Ghostbusters movies is in discussions.  I admit I would weather the movie theatre-going experience to see Ghostbusters 3 as long as the central characters are reprised by the original actors and they don’t try to recast it.  I was surprised to hear that Bill Murray was excited about the prospect of playing Venkman again, but maybe it’s part of the healing to go back and reprise one of his zanier, more free and fun characters.

Bill Murray really has guts. While a lot of celebrities will do some crazy things for attention, Murray isn’t generally one of them. Rarely do you see him falling out of Bungalow 8 with his panties around his ankles. Instead Murray goes for the more planned kind of attention – though albeit a bit more dangerous. He jumped out of an airplane at 13,500 feet this weekend for the Chicago Air and Water Show.

Bill Murray landed in Chicago on Friday like he never had before — by jumping from an airplane 13,500 feet up. The 57-year-old actor took several deep breaths before stepping out the open doors of a C-31 Fokker and dropping at about 120 mph to the city’s lakefront with members of the Army Golden Knights Parachute Team.

An exuberant Murray, whose jump kicked off the 50th Chicago Air and Water Show, landed safely on a beach. The actor pretended for a moment to stagger as if dizzy, then smiled broadly, waved to the crowd and shook hands with some of the Golden Knights. Friends asked Murray to participate in the show, which features demonstrations and performances in the air and on Lake Michigan, to support the Illinois United Service Organizations… “It seemed like a good idea at a time,” Murray said. “I’ve had second thoughts, believe me. I’ve been really nervous. All the jokes (from friends) involve death.”

At more than 2 miles above Chicago, the air temperature in the unpressurized plane dropped to 30 degrees. The roar of the plane’s engines and winds coming through the open doors was deafening. Up in the plane, Murray, a native of Wilmette, Ill., looked out the window and took short calming breaths from a yellow oxygen tank. A buzzer went off in the plane around 3 p.m. It was Murray’s time to jump. He and Jones, connected by ropes and harnesses, ambled down the aisle. After a countdown they stepped off, instantly disappearing into the skies below.

Once he landed, Murray said a Golden Knight jumper had tried to ease his nerves by telling him he would want to repeat the jump. “But right now,” Murray said, “I really feel like having a drink.”

It seemed like the Bill Murray divorce was on the verge of getting super ugly. First, his wife Jennifer came out swinging, calling the actor an abusive, drug-addicted alcoholic. Then, Bill shot back the Jennifer was a drunk and a pill popper who wasn’t so nice to their kids. Just when things looked like they were going to escalate to something of Richards/Sheen proportions, the couple quietly settled their divorce.

A month after after his wife sued him for divorce in a shocking filing alleging abuse and infidelity, Bill Murray and Jennifer Butler Murray have worked out an agreement to end their marriage.

According to court documents dated June 13 and obtained by TMZ.com, Butler Murray, 42, has been granted primary custody of their four children and will keep the couple’s homes in Hemet, Calif. and Sullivan’s Island, S.C. Bill Murray, 57, must pay child support and will keep other property in California, New York and Massachusetts.

Bill Murray must also pay Jennifer a lump sum. The Murrays signed a prenuptial agreement in which Bill would pay his wife $7 million in a divorce, and, according to court documents, it is still valid.

In May, Butler Murray filed for divorce on the grounds of drug addiction, physical abuse, adultery and abandonment. She also requested a restraining order against her husband.

According to Butler Murray, she felt forced to move with their children to a new home as a result of the actor’s alcohol, marijuana and sex addictions, among other reasons. According to a newspaper report, the filing said that Murray once “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.”

At the time, the actor’s lawyer, John McDougall, said only: “I can say that Bill Murray is deeply saddened by the break-up of his marriage to Jennifer. They remain loving parents, committed to the best interest of their children.”

[From People]

Well, I don’t know what snapped them out of it, but I’m glad. With four kids to think about, these two were heading to a bad place, and once the name calling starts, it’s hard to take those things back. It looks like Jennifer is going to get a nice little settlement for herself and the children are going to be provided for- that’s really the best case scenario in a divorce, isn’t it? If the allegations are true about Bill, I hope he gets some help. I still think he’s a fantastic actor and hate to see him getting this kind of publicity.

On a side note, I’d also like to point out how easy it is to settle a divorce financially when there is a pre-nup involved. Too bad Paul McCartney didn’t take that advice.

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about the impending divorce between comic actor Bill Murray and his wife, Jennifer, who dropped a bombshell that Murray was an abusive alcholic. Now, it looks like Jennifer may have some similar issues of her own. TMZ is reporting that the soon to be ex-Mrs. Murray was picked up by police back in March for verbally abusing her children while seemingly under the influence.

Bill Murray isn’t the only Murray who gets lit and lets it out on the kids — allegedly.

Murray’s wife Jennifer Butler-Murray was pinched by the po-po in South Carolina on March 17 after allegedly getting drunk — and then violent with her kids, according to a report filed with the Sullivan’s Island Police. A witness caught Jennifer yelling at one of the couple’s kids, and the cop who cornered her wrote that she was “very impaired.”

Butler-Murray’s been blabbing in a divorce filing that Bill was addicted to booze and drugs, abused, abandoned, and once said she was “lucky he didn’t kill her.”

[From TMZ.com]

This happened months ago, but it’s just coming to light now…wonder who leaked this to the press? This divorce is shaping up to be one of those Charlie-Denise “He Said, She Said,” type of deals. Which is sad for the couple’s kids. I hope they can find a way to resolve their differences privately from here on out and concentrate on helping their children deal with the fallout that goes along with divorce.

On the rare occasions that I’ve pondered Bill Murray’s private life, I’ve assumed that he’s the type of guy who gets drunk and tries to drive to 711 in a golf cart. He seems like a goofy fun-loving guy, and maybe someone who would cheat on his wife, but not someone with an abusive temper or a mean streak. His second wife of over ten years claims otherwise and has filed for divorce along with a restraining order against Murray, 57.

Jennifer Butler Murray filed for divorce in Charleston counrty, South Carolina on May 12. Her reasons include adultery, drug addiction, alcoholism, and abuse. She details an incident in which he hit her in the face and said she was “lucky he didn’t kill her.” Under the provisions of their prenuptial agreement, Jennifer would get $7 million with no alimony or child support:

Jennifer Butler Murray cites the allegations as grounds for divorce, according to the complaint filed May 12 in family court. Records in the case were sealed Friday by a court order…

Jennifer Murray also seeks a restraining order barring Bill Murray from her Sullivan’s Island home and asks the court to determine if the couple’s premarital agreement is valid and enforceable…

According to the complaint, Jennifer Murray moved into a Sullivan’s Island home in 2006 with the couple’s four children due to her husband’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment.”

Jennifer Murray purchased the Sullivan’s Island beach house in 2006 for $3.65 million, according to county property records.

It was at the Sullivan’s Island home, according to the complaint, that Murray allegedly abused his wife in November 2007. The six-page court filing says Murray “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ ”

The complaint alleges that Murray physically abused his wife on more than one occasion during the marriage.

[From Charleston.net via TMZ]

The couple have four sons together, Caleb, 15, Jackson, 13, Cooper, 12, and Lincoln, 7. Murray also has two sons with his first wife, Margaret Kelly: Homer, 26, and Luke, 23.

Maybe Murray’s wife is emphasizing certain aspects of her husband’s character to try and get out of her prenuptial agreement, but if those claims are true that’s awful and she deserves a hefty settlement along with substantial child support. Bill Murray has three movies coming out this year: Get Smart, City of Ember, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. He is also a co-owner of minor league baseball team The Charleston Riverdogs.

Remember a few weeks ago, when Bill Murray was given a DUI citation for driving a golf cart drunk? Well he’s finally spoken out and explained himself, and it turns out it’s all because he’s a good samaritan bus driver type who just can’t let friends walk home or call a cab – so logically, why NOT borrow your hotel’s “for display only” golf cart and drive all over Stockholm?

“Bill Murray says he was just dropping people after a party when he was stopped in downtown Stockholm driving a golf cart. The police ‘asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer,’ Murray told reporters Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where he appeared before the premiere of his new film The Darjeeling Limited, which also stars Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson.

The star of 1980′s Caddyshack said he was in Stockholm last month to play in a pro-am golf tournament, and hitched a ride to a post-event party in a golf cart. When no one wanted to drive home, he volunteered. ‘I ended up stopping and dropping people off on the way like a bus. I had about six people in the thing and I dropped them off one at a time.’ He said police called him over as he was dropping the last couple off at a 7-Eleven, adding ‘I didn’t know they had 7-Elevens in Stockholm.’ Swedish police took a blood test after the actor refused a breath test. He could face drunken driving charges.

It’s not illegal to drive a golf cart through downtown Stockholm, just unsual [sic].”

Apparently he’d had one or two drinks – though driving with much of anything in your system is illegal in Sweden. They have a zero-tolerance approach, which appears to apply to golf carts as well. Murray’s blood alcohol results from the blood test haven’t been released yet, so we’ll see if he ends up getting in trouble or not. I don’t know how I know this, but I’m pretty sure that gopher from “Caddyshack” was behind this somehow.

So Bill Murray’s been kind of quiet lately. That’s not really news in and of itself, supposedly he’s a recluse and not exactly on the list of hot young celebrities. But he’s really smart and talented and once in a while puts out a really great movie, so he certainly deserves to get a mention when he joins the hot young destructive celebrity set, and gets his very own DUI. Yes, at the age of 57, Bill Murray finally has what it takes to be young and powerful in Hollywood these days. If only he’d have a pantyless crotch shot, he’d be made.

Murray was taking part in the Scandinavian Masters golf tournament in Stockholm this weekend. He had a bit to drink. Not so much that he was slurring or tipsy or falling over or anything. But enough that driving a golf cart through the streets of Stockholm seemed like a good idea. Driving a golf cart on the streets isn’t illegal in and of itself, but driving much of anything after imbibing any drink more potent than a dose of Nyquil is quite illegal. Europeans are famously more tolerant towards alcohol, but much less tolerant towards DUI/DWIs. Which is how it should be. A first infraction can often mean significant jail time and a loss of a person’s drivers license for the rest of their life. Apparently that won’t be the case for Mr. Murray, as he wasn’t ridiculously drunk and likely returned to the States.

“Bill Murray could face a drunken driving charge after cruising through downtown Stockholm in a golf cart and refusing to take a breath test, citing U.S. law. Police officers spotted the “Caddyshack” star early Monday in the slow-moving vehicle and noticed he smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over, said Detective-Inspector Christer Holmlund of the Stockholm police.

“‘He refused to blow in the (breath test) instrument, citing American legislation,’ Holmlund told The Associated Press on Wednesday. ‘So we applied the old method — a blood test. It will take 14 days before the results are in.’ Murray, who had been at a golf tournament in Sweden, signed a document admitting that he was driving under the influence, and agreed to let a police officer plead guilty for him if the case goes to court, Holmlund said.

“‘Then he was let go. My guess is he went back to America,’ Holmlund said. He said the 56-year-old actor-comedian would only be charged if tests show his blood alcohol level exceeded the legal limit, which is quite low in Sweden. A very high alcohol level could lead to a prison sentence, but Holmlund said fines were more likely.

“‘There were no obvious signs, like when someone is really tipsy,’ he said.”

[From Yahoo News]

The things unknown untalented actresses will do to get attention these days. Oops, I mean Bill Murray. Apparently the golf cart had been outside of the hotel Murray was staying in, on display for the past week. I guess temptation became a bit too much to take, and Murray absconded with it, driving the cart to the Cafe Opera nightclub. The nightclub was less than a mile away, but I’m guessing that was one long, slow mile. I wonder what role that crazy Caddyshack gopher played in this whole debacle, and if he was cited too?
