I have to admit that I love the new screen persona that Bill Murray is cultivating. He started it with Rushmore and has been honing it ever since. The only way I can describe it is "odd schlub". He's kind of a pathetic, yet not uncool, bitter everyman. I hope he keeps it up.
Of course, teaming up with Jim Jarmusch in Broken Flowers (the French loved it, natch) is a good place to start. Again, it looks as though he's taking this numb, bitter man and making him human. In a numb and bitter way.
I've loved the last several Bill Murray movies. And I love Jim Jarmusch. To have them together is like chocolate and peanut butter.
