Yeah, the article is, not shockingly, blatantly wrong. It’s AV Club these days. The union members who walked off were camera crew and assistants. 

Rushmore. It just has so much in its favor— a simple story arc with lots of room for quirk, a spectacular debut by Schwartzman, a surprisingly deep turn by Murray, and a great soundtrack. Rushmore felt new and fresh. Bottle Rocket as a solid 2nd.

Don’t forget his brief one-shot on the West Wing...

I just read an article that said a “live” round can also be a blank, it just means that there’s gunpowder in it.

Had a construction contracter once tell me that every OSHA rule was the result of someone’s death.

And why the fuck do they use real weapons anyway? They should use a toy gun or even a water gun filled with water dyed red, and hit a drum to simulate the shot fired sound.

I can report, from a very brief encounter I had with him fifteen or sixteen years ago, that he was extremely nice, at least to me. I interviewed him at a movie premiere immediately after a humiliating and disastrous on-camera interview with Peter Tork of The Monkees. Scolari was a balm. He couldn’t have been more…

I have no reason whatsoever to distrust any of the facts presented in this article, but in the rush to get information about this out, it seems that *everything* that has been written up about it so far feels like it has an agenda behind it, based on who is being quoted. It’s finger-pointing in real time.

i don’t fall out with the top 3 - exact order depends on my mood - but i’d probably have life aquatic in at 4 and i feel like a lot of people do too? (unless there has been some downwards revisionism since it was released). i find it endlessly rewatchable, whereas i was zoning out at points of moonrise kingdom…

Here we go with this bullshit.

‘ The publication also reports that “a member of the producer staff then ordered the union members to leave the set,” hence why the production ended up with a nonunion prop master.’

LA Times article doesn’t say anything about union prop people leaving the set, just that the camera crew (minus the DP) did.

This is why we can’t have real guns and squibs in movies anymore.

We can argue about his best, but Isle of Dogs is his worst film.

Rushmore is the best Wes Anderson film, partly because of it’s caustic nature.

This is so depressing. Loved him in Newhart, and I especially remember him from a filmed theater performance of Stop the World, I Want to Get Off.

His work with with Julia Duffy on Newhart was fantastic.

Bill Murray in Rushmore talking on the phone while walking through kids playing basketball and just casually blocking a kid’s shot is, for some reason, about as hard as I’ve laughed at a movie.

This is sad. He was someone who just came across as enjoying what he did.

Bottle Rocket at the bottom?! I’m rioting.

Didnt we learn from the Crow?
