Review of Meatballs (1979) by James H — 05 Jan 2005

Here's my first entry. I saw "Anchorman" last night, and it was damn funny. The only thing I didn't like about it was everything except for Will Ferrel (and actually Steve Carrell was good too, but a little beside the point). Then I started to think about other movies that were total garbage, except that they contained one incredibly funny actor who couldn't help but make the movie rad. I came up with... "Meatballs"... "Quick Change"... "The Man Who Knew Too Little"... hmmm.... Now that Bill Murray is Art Movie Bill Murray, I vote for Will Ferrel to take over being Regular Bill Murray.

Here's a little meditation to end on:

The idea that one day Bill Murray will be dead is at least as difficult to accept as the idea that one day I will be.
