Three Kings is the best. I’ve made people angry with this opinion, but their opinions about the Gulf War and GWOT are probably wrong and dumb.

Red Zone Cuba is probably the best, or at least the most accurate, movie about modern mercenaries. Because it's utterly terrible and the mercenaries are a bunch of murderous rapist criminals.

I said what I said. Stripes isn't funny. It lacks charm, and has loving hack Bill Murray. Sgt Bilko is loving better, and that's not even that good. Three Kings fucks, and is underrated as a movie.

I'd been directed to call cadence exactly twice. The reason I was not asked a third time was because the second time I used the I CAN BARELY MOVE MY LEGS from Sgt Bilko I am proud that I got all the way thru it before PSG yeeted my rear end to the back of the formation though

He might have a small part he doesn't ruin here or there, but his shtick is the same in most of his poo poo, and it's smarmy, and unfunny. I can't think of a single movie he improves, besides his bit part and death in Zombieland. And that's based on just his art- not touching his personal life.

I wasn't a fan of his 80s slapstick, but he was fantastic in his later movies, starting with Groundhog Day, and then later on with Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Lost in Translation.

I think Bill Murray is hilarious but I can 100% see how someone would not enjoy him. Basically because 95% of what he's done, and absolutely 100% since The Jerk, has me hitting with Steve Martin the same.
