It's not exactly a Cinderella story ... but it's pretty damn cool that Bill Murray is opening a Caddyshack-themed bar in the Windy City! Bill and his 5 brothers are reportedly moving forward with a golf-themed bar in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Rosemont ... according to the Daily Herald. The brothers already have a verbal agreement to take over the space and working on getting everything in writing ... so they can start serving up drinks to Carl Spackler enthusiasts, ASAP.
“The best thing to do is ignore the plot about Danny Noonan getting a scholarship and concentrate on Murray, Dangerfield, and to a lesser extent Chase and Ted Knight (Dangerfield’s foil )”
From what I’ve heard that’s ultimately what the makers of the movie did also. It was originally supposed to mainly be about the caddies and their various plot lines, with the Chase/Dangerfield/Murray parts being more like extended cameos. But the “cameos” (many ad libbed) were so much better/funnier than the caddy related crap that the makers of the movie rightly decided to flip the two in terms of screen time.
And a classic was born...and that’s all she wrote.
“so I got that going for me”
I didn’t realize the script was creamed and buffed with a fine chamois afterwards.
Will it open? It just doesn't matter.
CHOP CHOP!!
Baby Ruth Bar will be the signature dessert item.
Was just thinking....what took him so long??
Wish him/them the best. I’ll stop by, if I’m in town.
“Hey You! On the water skis!”
It’s easy to grin when your ship comes in and you’ve got the restaurant business beat. But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat.
Yeah, he was in "Osmosis Jones" too.
Bret Baier took heat from the “harridscente” for this question, but I though it was hilarious:

The Murray brothers grew up on the North Shore of Chicago. Their parents, Ed and Lucille Murray raised nine children in a sweet little house on a leafy street in Wilmette, Illinois. As teenagers, “the boys spent their summers working as caddies at the local private country club; it was that experience that inspired Brian Doyle Murray to write the classic golf comedy, Caddyshack. Many of the brothers participated in the making of the movie and can be found standing around in some of the funniest scenes.
...
Most of the movie ended up being adlibbed. The original script focused on the kids, and Carl Spackler didn’t have any lines.
No offense, but how many people actually remember Caddy Shack?
And its it going to have an animatronic gopher as its host?
The pond would be good for you.
But if it’s just a Caddyshack bar, not many people can relate to a movie that is almost 40 years old.
...
Wait a few hours, then go back and read this thread.
I think J.K. Simmons' Farmer's commercial with the gopher and Ricky Fowler is a tip of the hat to Caddyshack. I should probably rent or buy it for my wife. She has never seen it, and she loves to watch PGA Golf. St. Vincent also looks like a movie she would like.
I just wish they’d stop shouting “ It’s in the hole! “ at the urinals.
