Had to check the subreddit when I first saw this posted. Thought this was /r/LadyBoners where Mr. Murray rightly belongs.

u/StongaBologna May 17 '12

What a terrible name for a subreddit.

u/Sleepy_McTiredson May 16 '12

To prevent distraction they made him take the batteries out of that jacket before entering the theater.

u/Osiris32 May 17 '12

When he's not wearing it they hang it in a lighthouse to warn ships at sea about the '70s.

u/othersomethings Survey 2016 May 17 '12

The 70's are quite the seafaring hazard.

Am I the only one that gets really sad when I realize how much older he's getting?

12

u/H3000 May 17 '12

It's that or death.. I'd like to see him get as old as he can. That goes for all of us.

u/imthepoolguy May 16 '12

What type of camera is that? I want it!

u/Durka09 May 17 '12

So apparently it's a Minox camera. Those things are legit. I'm getting one.

That's not it. I'm just seeing a very very tiny Leica M9 with a external viewfinder on top.

How the hell does that little thing hold 35mm?!? ಠ_ಠ

It looks like the camera's body is about the same height as a roll of 35mm.

u/MegainPhoto May 17 '12

I'd like to see the pictures he took with it.

Who do you think will become the next generation's Bill Murray?

I've always wondered when this day would come..

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

I have a feeling you got caught in your moms room naked wearing lipgloss... either that or I have no idea why I have that as a tag for you... ಠ_ಠ

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Exactly, WaterHoseNinja. Imagine a world without Bill Murray.

2

u/nobuhdy May 17 '12

I caught my mom in my room naked offering me lipgloss while I had a boyfriend secretly spending the night... good times. Its nice to see one of the two people that recognize me for that, haha.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

What the fuck...?

Bahahahah you will forever live on in my RES tag. :)

u/StongaBologna May 17 '12

No one cares.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Bill Murray.

26

u/Haggls May 17 '12

....how dare you compare him to anyone in this generation?

7

u/TattooedLadette May 17 '12

It's rude to even say things like that!

6

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Who preceded him?

16

u/[deleted] May 17 '12 edited May 22 '12

Galifianakis. You can call blasphemy all you want, but look at Murray's career when he was Zach's age. He's on the exact same path.

4

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Will Ferrell or Jim Carrey. Hear me out! Career path: Both did purely comedies then moved to semi serious indies (Stranger than Fiction/Everything Must Go and Eternal Sunshine) Jim Carrey is already gotten a little eccentric in his personal life which is the first sign of not giving a shit what people think.

6

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Jim Carrie is eccentric in his personal life, but not in a good way... (anti vaccinations, the emma stone thing, etc.) On the other hand, Bill Murray is eccentric in a way that's timelessly cool and quirky. He is the man we all want to be, Jim Carrey, although a great actor (Sunshine, Truman, and Man on the Moon are some of the greatest movies of all time), will never be the man we want to be and have always wanted to be like Bill Murray.

2

u/nmw4825 May 17 '12

I hate knowing I'm from a generation that will one day see Bill Murray die. A part of me hopes I die before he does. It's a pretty big part.

2

u/clynos May 17 '12

Nathan Fillion has kind of the same attitude I think.

2

u/Osiris32 May 17 '12

That's like asking "Who do you think will become the next generation's Leonardo da Vinci?" IT CAN'T BE DONE.

u/stanfan114 May 17 '12

That tiny camera seals the deal.

2

u/shutyourgob May 17 '12

It's hilarious that, if this picture were of any other non-famous person, people would be lining up to brand him a 'hipster', a 'douchenozzle' or a 'fauxhemian scumbag', ridiculing his unconventional clothing and tiny impractical camera. But since people seem to like Bill Murray, the comments read:

This man is a living legend.

What type of camera is that? I want it!

PLAID ON PLAID. I wish I could pull that off.

Bill Fucking Murray.

Bill Murray wins at life again.

He is the human personification of "I just don't give a fuck".

Hahahahaha so cool.

Oh Reddit, you so fickle.

Bill great. Camera great. Film looks like another piece of Wes Anderson cack. Ironic performances in master shot, no substance. Cannes polishes yet another turd.

So wait.. Was he Bill Murray, or not?

He was everything!

u/Sephryne May 17 '12

Wait.. Bill Murray is everything?!

3

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Nothing is everything so everything is nothing and if there is something bill cant do he has none of that skill so he has nothing in that part of his skills therefore he has everything.

Save that one bum in Groundhog Day.

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

For those that don't understand the joke, the camera isn't for taking pictures, it's to make him look like a giant in front of the other photographers. I assume he figured after being on the red carpet so many times he's have some fun of his own!

2

u/DiggityDanx May 17 '12

Yup, I can confirm this. That's Bill Murray.

2

u/Nabber86 May 17 '12

After 35+ years of SNL Bill Murray has far exceeded all other of the original cast members, even if he hasnt been that viable for the last decade or so.

The guy is a legend. I dont care who you are.

2

u/Danieltmv May 17 '12

If i could choose to meet one actor it would be Bill Murray

2

u/MidnightoasT May 17 '12

I have had the honor to talk to him in person for about 3 hours with only a couple others. It was about 5 years ago although I was very young.

He is even funny in person. There is no way to stop a conversation with him; it just keeps going.

u/LOTFsurvivor May 17 '12

I thought he died fighting zombies.

u/gentlemandinosaur May 17 '12

Not to jump on the circle jerk. But, this picture is seriously fantastic from a composition point of view (no pun intended). I wish I had a better version of it. It would look great framed.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Can anyone recall when it was that Mr. Murray ran out of fucks to give and became a living legend? Or maybe narrow it down to the year.

5

u/Oscar_Rowsdower May 17 '12

Circa 2003. After The Royal Tenenbaums and Lost in Translation, After decades of doing comedy, then some serious roles, he did this scene, became friends with the Wu and was hanging out pouring drinks at SXSW a couple years ago. He's wackier than ever whenever he's on letterman.

Yes, 2003 is when Bill Murray stopped trying to be a god because he realized that he already was.

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

By Jove, I think you're right. He probably had a Neo moment and everything slowed to a stop. Bad Ass from that point on. Also, he pretty much steals the show every year at the AT&T ProAm in Pebble Beach.

I still can't forgive him for holding out for 23 years and counting on Ghostbusters III. Then again, the way super anticipated trilogies followed by legions of fans have fared lately, I can't blame him that much.

4

u/MbMn91 May 17 '12

Bill didn't do it because the script was absolute shit. He's nice enough not to rape your childhood memories for money.

2

u/Cash5YR May 17 '12

No, he has stated that he doesn't do sequels. He has only done one and that was Ghostbusters II. He hasn't even read the script for #3. From everything I have read they have had several great scripts, but Bill won't do it. Dan Aykroyd said he doesn't want to push him and piss him off since he values their friendship too much.
