Get Low (Bill Murray, Robert Duvall)

[popdisaster00]

For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush. People say he’s done all manner of unspeakable things — that he’s killed in cold blood; that he’s in league with the Devil; that he has strange powers — and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral. It’s not your usual funeral for the dead Felix wants. On the contrary, he wants a ‘living funeral,’ in which anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in. Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn enlists his gentlemanly young apprentice, Buddy Robinson to win over Felix’s business. Buddy is no stranger to Felix’s dark reputation, but what he discovers is that behind Felix’s surreal plan lies a very real and long-held secret that must get out. As the funeral approaches, the mystery - which involves the widow Maddie Darrow, the only person in town who ever got close to Felix, and the Illinois preacher Charlie Jackson who refuses to speak at his former friend’s funeral - only deepens. But on the big day, Felix is in no mood to listen to other people spinning made-up anecdotes about him. This time, he’s the one who is going to do the telling about why he has been hiding out in the woods.

This looks like it could be pretty good. Trailer is here:

Duvall had a shitload of Oscar buzz before this got pushed back. I'm very excited for it.

[popdisaster00]

[Wake Up]

Duvall looks great, but I've never been a Murray fan.

[NateFoundGlory]

Wow, I'm insanely interested in this.

[xevandox]

[Smash Adams]

Duvall looks great, but I've never been a Murray fan.
I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read this

Yeah looks interesting-a bit worried of it being overly sentimental

[yellowhouse]

The story sounds interesting as hell. I'd check this out.

[the seventeenth]

Me too. Looks like it could be a winner

[Indoor Living]

Extremely excited for this. Love Duvall and Murray, and this could be the film that changes my opinion on Lucas Black.

[I am Mick]

Bill Murray is my fucking hero, and him with Duvall is intense. I'm in

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Duvall looks great, but I've never been a Murray fan.

You're going? Lucky.

[pshh]

You're going? Lucky.

yeah, im pretty excited.

[Wake Up]

How is this possible?

I just never found him funny. Maybe I haven't watched enough of him.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

I just never found him funny. Maybe I haven't watched enough of him.

Ghostbusters? What About Bob? Caddyshack?

[Wake Up]

Ghostbusters? What About Bob? Caddyshack?

I liked Ghostbusters. Caddyshack, ...eh. The only Murray lead film I remember liking was Groundhog Day.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

maybe because he's really not fucking funny?

I grew up with Ghostubusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day and a bunch of his other comedies but I can't really get into them anymore cause he's uber unfunny . On the other hand I really love his more dramatic stuff such as all his Wes Anderson roles and Lost In Translation so I'm pretty excited for Get Low


That's your opinion and I respect that. :-)

[Wake Up]

Hey bud

[jbaseball44]

Many thanks. Going to see this tomorrow, pretty excited based on the reviews so far

[Thomas Balkcom]

Duvall looks great, but I've never been a Murray fan.

blasphemy.

[zion the lion]

God I wish I could see this.

[summer skin]

anyone who says bill murray is unfunny has not seen meatballs and should fuck off.
REAL TALK.

[jbaseball44]

Murray is the man, going to see this in about an hour.

[Wake Up]

Murray is the man, going to see this in about an hour.

Be sure to come back and report your findings, young sir.

Many a thanks will be given upon arrival.

[jbaseball44]

Will do, has anyone else seen this?

[jbaseball44]

Just got back from seeing it. Overall I thought it was a very good movie but not a great one. It had a very quaint sort of feel and all of the performances were fantastic, Duvall was superb. I could see it getting nominations for cinematography, score, and actor. Maybe even supporting actor considerations
