Airplane. Dodgeball.

I am prepared for your animosity.

With you on airplane. I can't stand Leslie Neilson.

What generation are you btw? I was horrified to discover that a lot of zoomers hate Bill Murray's comedy/acting so wonder if it's an age thing.

Not a big fan of Bill Murray either. Except in lost in translation, amazing. Gen X.

Hmm I'm a mid-millenial and always liked both of those actors and their schticks. I guess that's my theory debunked!

I think it's the type of comedy they employ.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Both of them are kind of playing themselves in every film. Murray in particular has this brand of sardonic humour which is really distinctive. I could imagine someone not vibing with it but it just never crossed my mind until it came up in a similar thread to this one that some people hated Murray.

Honest question because I’m curious. Why can’t you stand him?

Fair point, was curious if there was a reason beyond what I suspected. I love his comedy, but my opinion of course. Totally okay for you to have your own preference and recognise you don’t find that style funny at all.

My mom was huge fan. I'm 50 now and still can't stand his acting after watching him a lot as a kid. You can add Chevy Chase to that list too.

Have you seen Fletch?

I have to agree, his delivery really doesn't work for me. It feels like he's elbowing me in the ribs with every gag.

That said, it's not enough to spoil Airplane for me. Airplane is a masterpiece.
