Bill Murray May Have Literally Shredded the Ghostbusters 3 Script

by | December 22nd, 2011

I guess Bill Murray finally found the time to give that Ghostbusters 3 script a read. Extremely reliable news source The National Enquirer has reported that Murray hated it so much he physically shredded the script and sent it back to Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, along with a note saying, “No one wants to pay money to see fat, old men chasing ghosts!” Now, it is tempting to decide that this story is simply too AMAZING to be true, like unicorns or fairies, but, as with unicorns and fairies, we must still believe. We must always believe.

Tim and Eric Coming to the Big Screen in Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie?

by | February 28th, 2011

Rumor has it that Tim and Eric are prepping their first full-length movie, one entitled Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and potentially featuring a pretty stellar cast. Apparently, they've been talking to the likes of John C. Reilly, Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, Bob Odenkirk, Harrison Ford and Will Forte. Yes, Harrison Ford is a Tim and Eric fan, as if we needed any more proof that he's a huge pothead.

There's no real word on just what the movie will be about beyond Tim and Eric owing someone a billion dollars and John C. Reilly playing a character named Taquito. The question is really if these [...]

Could Eddie Murphy Show Up at SNL This Weekend?

by | October 5th, 2011

Eddie Murphy hasn't showed up in Studio 8H since leaving the show in 1984, nor has he appeared in any reunions, specials, or interviews about the show. But all that might change this weekend, because shit, he's gotta promote Tower Heist!

Ben Stiller, Murphy's co-star in the upcoming Brett Ratner action comedy, is hosting SNL this weekend, and rumors are flying that Murphy will make an appearance. I buy it. While there have been long-standing rumors that Murphy and Lorne Michaels are no fans of each other (which makes some sense, as Murphy was on the show during the years Lorne wasn't involved), one source of Murphy's animosity [...]

Is Dave Chappelle's New Show Headed To Netflix?

by | June 16th, 2011

Given that the comedian reportedly bailed on his Comedy Central show out of pure frustrated misery, it makes sense that Dave Chapelle's new show would have a more circuitous route back to the public's eyeballs. "Dave Chappelle’s going back to TV. It’s not for a network. It’s for Netflix or Crackle or some other subscription service,” a source informed The Daily.  Opting not to work within traditional television channels could potentially be the right way to go, if it's personal control that Chappelle is looking for. Nor is the idea completely novel; Netflix recently signed David Fincher's House of Cards, while Crackle offers web series "Groundlings" and [...]
