Culture, Politics: Bill Murray: Is he a Closet Libertarian?

  • I think we ought to be personally responsible.
  • Bill Murray • Speaking during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” The actor made clear that he believed we should all help ourselves and any others we can. Saying that many people forget America is a “pioneer country”, Murray stopped short of condemning the social safety net; however, he did say that “we’ve sort of gotten used to someone looking out for us”, though we apparently shouldn’t, because some people are simply  “compost for the whole planet.” The interview left many wondering, is Bill Murray a closet Libertarian? source

Culture: Everyone’s on board for a third Ghostbusters movie. Even Bill Murray.

  • Will the franchise stay puft after all these years? Dan Aykroyd revealed recently that the entire main cast has signed on for a third movie, including Bill Murray, who’s famously been very reluctant to do a third film and who’s spent so long going after Oscar bait that it’s going to be weird to see him back in this mode. Aykroyd doesn’t blame him: “I don’t put not making the third movie on Billy. We can’t do that.” Anyway, the film itself will focus on passing the torch to a younger generation of comic actors. As long as they don’t hand that torch to Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, we’re OK with this. source
