you should write about the things you love, right? so, what a better way to start this blog than with my Bill. anyone who knows me knows that i'm obsessed - i've loved him faithfully for years, but in all honesty, i have no idea how i'd react if i saw him on the street. i'd probably just freeze or something, like Bambi in front of a Buick - which actually scares me a bit, because i think if we were to meet, we'd become friends.
can you imagine having Bill Murray as your friend?
!
in my fantasy, we're best friends, and we laugh and have fun ALL THE TIME. then he'd teach me how to play golf (or at least how hold a club properly) and we'd wear crazy hats and tartan pants. i’d give anything to spend just one day with him. i’d murder to go grocery shopping with him at a market – imagine him at the cheese shop. or with the fish monger. or taking control behind a butcher’s counter - he so would! no one does funny as perfectly as Bill. the deadpan delivery, the subtleties - his amazingness is almost too much.
i started crushing really hard when i watched him in Ghostbusters. it's actually the first movie i remember seeing in theatres - i was 4-years-old. that alone should be reason enough to have him as my first actor tribute - so, let's start with the man who initiated me into this unyielding crazy movie obsession. there are many, many wonderful Bill Murray movies; however, for the next several days, i'll be listing just ten of my top favourite here, in no particular (impossible to) order...
