The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day has seen shit that would turn you white!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes Pic!
Today’s pic is pretty rad, if I may be so bold. We all love Ghostbusters, most of us love the early days of SNL, so seeing Bill Murray and Chevy Chase fucking around on the steps of Gozer’s temple should be an instant smile-maker.
Especially since there was famously some bad blood between the two after Chase’s early departure from SNL.
It’s not the clearest shot in the world, but you can definitely tell (especially when you click on the bigger image) that Murray and Chase are mimicking a dance of some sort… maybe a Fred Astaire number? I’d love to see video of this, but I’m afraid we may just have to settle for this still.
Thanks to Nick Tierce for sending this pretty rad shot along! Click to embiggen!
If you have a behind the scenes shot you’d like to submit to this column, you can email me at quint@aintitcool.com.
Tomorrow’s behind the scenes pic won’t resort to threats. It will merely tell you the future of your planet is at stake.

Murray vs. Chevy - it's hard to decide who's funnier
by David Cloverfield
Chevy makes me giggle like an idiot even as an old man. It's been a while since Murray made me chuckle. They're both greater talents than what we deserve.

It looks like someone said, "Hey why don't you guys get up there and do something funny for a publicity still" and they begrudgingly agreed.

Seriously, those two films continue to make me laugh out loud all these years later. He's amazing in those. Murray's had more misses than hits since GHOSTBUSTERS, but how amazing would it be to have them both in the new film? The universe would collapse.
-
And really, does anyone really think Ghostbusters could have been made better? No, it couldn't.

I use this phrase often, to the consternation of people uninitiated in the ways of Ghost Busters. I now feel a certain kinship with all of you here.

If you read that excellent oral history of "SNL," Bill explains that he didn't really hate Chevy, and that beyond their initial dust-up when Chevy returned to host, they've more or less gotten along famously.

Yes, he picked some bad films in the 90s, but so did a lot of comedic greats. But his brilliance cannot be denied. Want evidence? Watch Caddyshack, Fletch, Three Amigos and the first three Vacation movies. And he is still got enormous comedic talent; watch Community for proof of that. Murray is a great, but he takes himself way to seriously and is more sullen than funny anymore.

"Needs some suspension work and shocks. Brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear-end. Also new rings, mufflers, a little wiring." "How much?" "Only $4800." the look on Venkman's face when he hears $4800 is the definition of priceless... last one from me for a while I promise... I just love this movie so much... it is arguably the best comedy ever made...or at least in the top 3...

This is completely unrelated to this post, but I figured it'd be getting decent traffic. Trying to figure out the name of a movie. It's a very recent (within the last year) release. Horror documentary (ACTUAL documentary) about...I wanna say a mental institution? I believe it's called something along the lines of Chopsey, Chopley, it's supposed to be very scary and available on netflix. Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? Killing me that I can't remember the name of this flick.

Murphy getting slimed by Slimer would have been pretty funny
by Bobo_Vision
And him thinking up the Stay Puft marshmallow man would have been hilarious, too. <p> Ghostbusters would have been different with Murphy....but it would likely still have been a classic.

I found him unfunny and a bit of a Johnny-come-lately with regards to being part of the ghostbusters. The other three created the ghostbusters, they went to school together and knew each other for years. Winston was just a hired hand. <p> If Murphy had been Winston and had been there from the start....I think that would have been better.

bobo_vision, Winston was the everyman of the group, which was a necessary role
by The Krypton Kid
Think of the scene when Ray and Winston are discussing all the phenomenon suddenly occurring. Ray sees the prophecies of the Bible as simply ancient prophecies and little more, but it is Winston who points out that maybe the prophecies of an Apocalypse are what's happening. While the rest of the Ghostbusters see matters from a strictly scientific perspective, Winston provides a perspective which helps them stay a bit more grounded than they would be without him. The Winston of The Real Ghostbusters animated series is far better written and treated as an equal. Here's a cool fact: Arsenio Hall provided the voice of the animated Winston, and he did a great job.

"Maybe the dead HAVE been rising from their graves...."
by Hint_of_Smegma
Those of us who were old enough (just) to be movie lovers already when Ghostbusters came out, fuck man. We were so lucky. Spoiled in the 80's for amazing movies but it really didn't get better than this. I'll never forget the feeling of seeing this for the first time on the big screen, what a fantastic time. Still drives me nuts that Rick Moranis basically retired early after his unfortunate family circumstances - that guy stole the show in this movie and that was no mean feat. Speaking of Rick, QUINT - when are you getting a pic of Little Shop of Horrors up here man?
-
That is a fairly significant moment. Nice to see those two having a moment of fun together.
-
It's perfect. It can't be better.

In "Ghostbusters" was some of the strangest and finest I've ever seen. In his heyday, Bob Hope had spectacular timing, and watching him riff off Bing Crosby in the early "Road" movies was sublime. Ghostbusters had that, the sense of three guys who genuinely dug each other's sense of humor and let each other do their thing. Ernie Hudson was a normal human being dropped into that mix, and pretty much represented the audience. It was perfect. "Ghostbusters 2" had almost none of that. Everyone was a parody of their earlier personas, and it felt as if the writers had suddenly noticed Zeddemore was black, and stopped remembering he was supposed to represent the audience. A sad piece of work. I remember J. Michael Strazenski, Michael Reeves and the guys at the animated Ghostbusters having been told to "stay away" from the Statue of Liberty on their show so it could be saved as a punch line for Ghostbusters 2, and how their eyes rolled at the obvious, clumsy metaphor. Just...TV movie quality stuff. Phonin' it in.
-
exactly what happened to Bill Murray? I mean there he was, one of the most successful comedians/comedic actors on the planet, and then fast forward 25 years and he's a cantankerous misery, doing his utmost to destroy his own legacy! Jesus Bill, was Hollywood that bad to you?

On top of all these great comments and quotes about/from one of the greatest modern comedies...
by WriteForTheEdit
...I can only add that Elmer Bernstein's score is an almost note-perfect accompaniment to the visuals. Creepy, comedic, epic, silly, as needed, sometimes all those things at once. Seek out the orchestral score in the dealer halls. Worth the money.

IF THEY DID MAKE A G3, MAYBE THE SYMBOL WOULD BE THE GHOST FLASHING THE SHOCKER
by Meadowe
I know people pee on it, but the only real gripe I personally have with g2 was that it was too repetitive of g1's beats. Since the g2 symbol was the ghost flashing a two or peace sign, maybe the shocker would be for G3, if they ever made it.
-
"Vacation" and "Fletch" are also classics, but Chase has an undertone of arrogance that spoils alot of his delivery for me. In the early Murray comedies, Bill came off as a guy you'd definitely want to hoist a few with. Not Chase. (One exception: "Funny Farm." Chase was pretty charming in that, and pretty funny.)
-
May 19, 2011, 11:45 a.m. CST
And it's also pretty hot that a female is suggesting it...
by WriteForTheEdit
...you are female, right? Otherwise, I respectfully withdraw this post.
-
I would disagree, essentially for the reasons you've stated. What makes Chase so funny is that he's kind of a douche. Example, Caddyshack. One of the biggest kicks I get out of that movie is in the beginning where he's chatting with Danny, giving him life advice, and then realizes that he's been calling him the wrong name.
-
Really appreciate it, been meaning to check it out for quite some time now.
-
I hear you, and those that love Chase do love him for his douche-ness. I can love asshole-comedy, but for some reason, it just rubs me the wrong way with Chase. I think part of it is because I never really cottoned to his SNL "Weekend Update" schtick. "I'm Chevy Chase and you're not..." ha-ha-ha... But that's just me and I know I'm in the minority. He is pretty funny in Caddyshack...
-
I think the last really good funny silly comedy perfomance he did was in Kingpin. Still, I like the super dead pan/dry humor of the Murray in Wes Anderson's work.
-
Thats great! Save some for me! I feel so funky.
-
I guess because he was a supporting actor, but he was, to me at least, the funniest part of Tootsie. One of my favorite Bill Murray lines ever is from that movie. "...you slut."
