Bill Murray talks GHOSTBUSTERS III on Letterman, and he isn't happy

What the hell is up with that outfit? Bill Murray never ceases to be strange. Unfortunately for Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd, he never seems excited or interested in Ghostbusters either. He was the last holdout for Ghostbusters 3 and according to this interview, he only agreed to do it if they killed him off in the first reel...so they found a way to kill him off in the first reel. Interesting. 

Since that video was so fun, here's one more from an older appearance on Letterman. This one packs more hilarity.

Don't gay up my Sherlock, says Holmes copyright holder

Guy Ritchie's interesting take on Sherlock Holmes is ruffling some feathers. In a statement to TotalFilm, Andrea Plunket, the U.S. copyright holder to the Holmes franchise, threatened to revoke permission to make more films if gay or homosexual themes are explored. Her reaction was prompted by Robert Downey Jr.'s recent appearance on David Letterman where he joked that the legendary detective might have been gay. She was not amused. 

I hope this is just an example of Mr Downey's black sense of humour. It would be drastic, but I would withdraw permission for more films to be made if they feel that is a theme they wish to bring out in the future. I am not hostile to homosexuals, but I am to anyone who is not true to the spirit of the books. - Andrea Plunket

This quote is most entertainingly read with the accent of an outraged 19th century rich British woman, perhaps with a monocle and parasol. Plunket is not from the 19th century, but her sense of humor might be. Guy Ritchie's new Holmes has gay undertones to it, but those are hardly it's biggest problem. Where was she when they turned Sherlock Holmes into superman? I guess completely changing Holmes is all right, as long as you don't make him gay. 

Bruno does the Top 10 on David Letterman

Sacha Baron Cohen gave the Top 10 Reasons to See Bruno on David Letterman last night. Not too bad. I like the one-sided sassy smirk he gives inbetween each reason. It reminds me of a friend of mine, who gives a great shit-eating grin. Check it out. My review of Bruno can be found here.
