I haven't touched this space in forver, LOL.

Really not that active on here, due to my current fandom not getting much action on here, though I may change that. I mean, why the hell not?

I'll be the trailblazer.

Dustin Hoffman is a really good actor, in my opinion. And yes, Murray's known for his deadpan snarker roles (Venkman, John Winger in Stripes, among many others).

I don't remember seeing him in The Little Shop of Horrors either, but then, I was distracted by the awesome geeky cuteness that is Rick Moranis.

I love Murray in Stripes, by the way. It does help that he's opposite Ramis in it too.

Agreed on the awesome geeky cuteness of Rick Moranis, but you gotta watch that again if you don't remember Murray. :D He was the guy who really loved a long hard root canal. (That must sound doubly dirty to Australians.)

Stripes I haven't seen! IMDB informs me it's an army comedy. Also, I see, an Ivan Reitman film.

Oooh, I heard that referenced before (the "long hard root canal" thing), possibly by a friend of mine. I'm not up on Australian slang, but it sounds dirty as it is, even though, well, I've had a root canal done before, and gawd, it's pretty awful.

Stripes is funny! And if you manage to get your hands on the Extended Cut, there's some naked!Ramis bathtub antics with a cute naked!girl in it... I have screencaps I could post! We don't see naughty bits, except for Murray's girlfriends' boobs.

:D In Australia, "rooting" means sex.

It's funny you don't remember that. There was a whole thing about how the sadist dentist is confused and enraged by this guy who has a total kink for dental pain.

I've never had a root canal done, thank goodness, but I also didn't get local anaesthesia for any of the dental work I had done until I was in my teens.

Boobs? So it's one of those 80s comedies! I'm gonna have a dig around and see if I find it.

Yes, it is one of those 80s comedies, and an Army comedy, and a buddy comedy... lots of bromance between John (Bill Murray's character) and Russell (Harold Ramis' character).

I highly suggest getting the extended cut, because there are some priceless comedic scenes in there. Including Russell accidentally getting high on acid, thinking they're motion sickness pills (he says he gets airsick), and then hilarity ensues.
