9 Movie Gadgets We Desperately Need

24 May 2012 12:39 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

This weekend, Will Smith and his expensive sunglasses are taking you back in time. Back to the 1960s, for the action of "Men in Black III" and back to the late 1990s, which is when you last thought about "Men in Black."

There's been much jawing among we fanboys about the awesome looking aliens that celebrated special effects designer Rick Baker has created – and, man, they are really great fun.

But for me, the "Mib" are all about the whacked-out gadgets. Indeed, the most famous of 'em all makes our list of 9 nifty gadgets most coveted on Planet Fanboy, which, as luck would have it, happen to be written below.

9 – The Mib Neuralizer

I don't know about you, but I say a lot of stupid stuff that comes back to bite me in the ass. To co-workers, check-out clerks, heck, even to the cat – I am a walking larynx of regrettable remarks and inadvertent insults. »

Bill Murray Guide To Life: Lessons From An Acting Legend

18 May 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Last week, as the most glamorous cineastes walked the red carpet at Cannes, there was one star who stood out among the rest: Bill Murray. (The "Ghostbusters" actor came dressed in a multi-plaid suit reminiscent of his "Caddyshack" days. He even had a miniature camera to snap photos of the crowd.) This shouldn't come as a surprise. What happened in France wasn't a moment of pure spontaneity; it was pure Murray. Over the years, the actor's on- and off-screen shenanigans have become legend. Whether it's crashing a karaoke session or initiating a dance circle, he knows exactly what he's doing. On Friday, Murray's antics continue in his newest film, "Moonrise Kingdom." Here, Bill plays a shoe-throwing father of a love-crazed tween. In honor of Murray continuing to set the curve for cool, let's take a look at the (long overdue) Bill Murray Guide to Life. Take notes, people! Watch: »

Bill Murray Clowns Around Cannes

17 May 2012 8:10 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Cannes, France -- Clad in a plaid jacket that could have come out of Rodney Dangerfield's wardrobe in "Caddyshack," Bill Murray clashed with traditional Cannes fashion but made the most of the film festival in every other way.

Murray has been soaking up the atmosphere on the French Riviera, where he joined other stars for the opening night premiere of Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom." The 61-year-old actor has been to Cannes before but his attendance is never assured, leaving film publicists to cross their fingers and hope he shows.

But he hit Cannes in high style, first appearing for the Wednesday photo call in the aforementioned jacket, with checkered pants. At the fancier, black-tie premiere, he wore a mangled purple and orange bow tie, reportedly tied by his driver en route to the event.

Usually, he was dancing. He sashayed down the red carpet, took pictures of the »

Interview: Joel Murray Takes No Prisoners in ‘God Bless America’

8 May 2012 8:53 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Joel Murray, as most people know, comes from the Murray clan of Wilmette, Illinois, which includes his fellow actor brothers Brian Doyle and Bill. He has established himself as a memorable TV and movie character actor, and portrays a man gone wild in the Bobcat Goldthwait-directed “God Bless America.”

Murray is Frank, a middle aged man recently divorced, fired from his job and possibly terminally ill. With nothing much left to live for, he decides to take out his frustrations on what he considers the idiotic in society – he begins a shooting spree by targeting reality TV stars. He finds an unusual accomplice in a high school student named Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), and together they embark on a nationwide assault on the pseudo-celebrities of America. This is Murray’s second film collaboration with director/writer Bobcat Goldthwait, having appeared in “Shakes the Clown” in 1992.

McHale Hopes Community Feud Spurs Hike In Ratings

12 April 2012 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Community star Joel McHale hopes the public war of words between his co-star Chevy Chase and show creator Dan Harmon will lead to a spike in ratings for the show - because the series has yet to get picked up for a fourth season.

The Caddyshack star famously lashed out against Harmon during a expletive-laden voicemail earlier this month, calling the scriptwriter an a**hole and an alcoholic. The message went viral after Harmon aired the clip at a Los Angeles comedy club.

The pair has continued to hurl insults at one another, with the writer confessing he should not have gone public with the audio.

But McHale, who leads the cast of the sitcom, thinks the war of words is great for business - opening up about the feud for the first time while hosting U.S. morning show Live! With Kelly on Thursday, he stated the fight might be just what the show needs to drum up publicity.

He joked, "There's been some awesome recorded messages from Chevy... We don't have the fourth season pick-up so if this somehow helps (the show get renewed), then... let's hope that happens." »

SNL’s first breakout star struck comedy gold with Caddyshack, Fletch, and Vacation, but then he crashed and burned. This week, as an angry voicemail Chase left for Community producer Dan Harmon went public, it looks like he might be heading down that path again.

Chevy Chase recalls the precise moment he hit bottom. It happened in front of unflinching television cameras, as he sat alone on a dais with his eyes masked by tinted sunglasses. »

Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd to Reunite for a Movie -- Probably a Comedy

20 March 2012 1:35 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

Two of the old-old-old-school Saturday Night Live comedians are heading back to the big screen together. Based on this Hollywood Reporter piece (which cites a famous comedian's own Facebook page), it seems that Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase are writing something together. Says Mr. Aykroyd: "Cannot say too much about the concept, but the joy of working with [Chevy] again is one that I am extremely excited about." Fans of chaotic '80s comedies will no doubt recall that the actors worked together, and rather well, in John Landis' Spies Like Us -- and again (rather poorly) in Aykroyd's terrible Nothing But Trouble and the truly unwatchable Caddyshack 2. Also Chevy Chase had a funny cameo in Michael Ritchie's The Couch Trip, which stars Dan...

Ed Helms Shoots Down 'Vacation' Rumors

12 March 2012 9:46 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Ed Helms says he is not taking over the "Vacation" franchise in a reboot of the classic Chevy Chase series.

"I have no idea how and where those rumors got started. I'm not aware of any conversations about me doing that movie," he said while promoting his new film, "Jeff, Who Lives at Home."

Of course, he's a big fan of the original films and Chevy Chase.

"The whole reason I do what I do is because of 'Animal House,' and 'Caddyshack,' and 'Vacation' and 'Ghostbusters' and 'Fletch' and 'Trading Places," Helms told Moviefone.

Now that the idea's out there, would he want to be the new Clark Griswold?

"If it felt like the right package -- I don't know. I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I'm not a big fan conceptually of remakes but anything's possible. Anything done »

'Diner' 30th Anniversary: 25 Things You Didn't Know About The Guys-and-Fries Classic

5 March 2012 5:27 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Sure, "Diner" is a landmark movie, one that launched numerous careers (including those of Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Ellen Barkin, and director Barry Levinson). But is it really the most influential movie of the last 30 years? Vanity Fair seems to think so. According to an article in the March 2012 issue, "Diner" -- released 30 years ago today, on March 5, 1982 -- is indirectly responsible for "Seinfeld," "The Office," "Pulp Fiction," and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." Such writers as Nick Hornby, Stephen Merchant, and Judd Apatow acknowledge its impact on the way they write scenes that others omit, scenes were guys reveal what matters most to them by chatting over coffee about things that don't matter at all. Like its trivia-obsessed characters, "Diner" is full of unspoken tales beneath the surface. Even fans may not know how closely life imitated art in the alliances, rivalries, pranks, and power games that helped make the movie »

Bill Murray's Wild Pebble Beach Outfit

11 February 2012 4:06 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Bill Murray has still got it.

Much to the delight of fans, the legendary actor donned a Ghillie suit (channeling his inner Carl Spackler, perhaps?) at the At&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament in California on Saturday.

Murray has been a hit at the tournament since it began on Thursday. After missing a putt on the 18th green on Friday, the actor attempted to putt backwards with his hand over his eyes, Sb Nation reports. He then proceeded to tickle a cameraman after he finally made the shot.

(Scroll Down For Photos)

Murray is famous for, among other roles, his portrayal of Spackler in "Caddyshack" in 1980.

Deadspin has some great video of Murray teeing off (and punting a football) in the camouflage Ghillie suit, so be sure to swing over there to check it out.

Bill Murray Dons Camouflage Suit to Blend In at Pebble Beach Golf Tourney: Fail!

Carl Spackler, is that you?! Bill Murray channeled his claim-to-fame role in Caddyshack Saturday at the At&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament, swinging up laughs for fans and fellow golfers alike by donning a camouflage ghillie suit on the green. The actor, who has participated in the tournament for 20 years now, has been quite the comedian on the course since the tournament began Thursday. According to Sb Nation, Murray missed a putt on the 18th green Friday and attempted a backwards putt with one hand over his eyes and then tickled a cameraman. With the golf not going as well as it has previously, the goofy former Pro-Am champ has even taken to punting footballs on the course. »

It has been over thirty years since he featured as Carl Spackler in "Caddyshack," but Bill Murray still knows how to be a star on the golf course.

Murray, equal parts avid golfer and theatrical spectacle on the links, returns this week to the At&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, the annual star-studded tournament featuring the top names in golf and entertainment swinging clubs side-by-side. Always one of the biggest draws, the Oscar-nominated actor won last year's tournament with partner Da Points and his face plastered all over this year's event, including on the tickets.

Points, whose share of the victory marked his first PGA tournament win, was taken aback when he became aware of all the Murray-centric hoopla.

"I got the program, and I looked at the tickets, and I thought: 'Wait a minute. Didn't I win?'" Points told reporters on Tuesday (via the New York Times). "There are pictures of Bill everywhere. »
