n a career spanning 45 years and 90 feature films, Bill Murray has managed to age like a fine wine, though he prefers vodka. He loves it so much, in fact, that in 2010, the Oscar nominee (for Lost in Translation) and part-time bartender (at his son Homer‘s Brooklyn restaurant, 21 Greenpoint) invested an undisclosed sum in his own brand. Called Slovenia, the buckwheat-derived vodka carried at Mondrian Hotel Sky Bar and Chez Jay in Santa Monica (and recently added to the offerings at Upstairs at the Ace Hotel), has “this viscosity that stays on your tongue — it makes it slightly different,” Murray tells THR.

I'd love to go to some of these places.
And he's had some good roles in some fine films.
Will always be Carl Spackler to us, no matter what.
More like 50+ year career.
Murray and his eight siblings grew up in an Irish Catholic family.
Good man.
He was on this, that I had never heard of.

Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell is an American television variety show that aired on ABC from September 20, 1975, to January 17, 1976, hosted by Howard Cosell and executive-produced by Roone Arledge. The series ran for 18 episodes before being cancelled
Any vodka kept in a freezer has an oily viscosity when it’s consumed. Problem is, too much vodka, or any form of alcohol can kill you.
The story is from 2019, so yeah its been a little longer….
I thought of the line today when Bill Murray as Karl the Assistant Groundskeeper kindly offered Chevy Chase a place to sit down in his cluttered room.
“Uh, not thanks. I’m afraid I might stick to somethng.
Memory of that was triggered when I saw a clickbait that Jeffrey Toobin was going to analyze the polls for the Trump speech. No one sits down in his office, I think.
I remember it. It was a curiosity of Cosell trying to be Ed Sullivan. Unlike the NBC version it was in prime time. It didn’t last long.
I like Murray but generally I only hear drunks speak about drinking with such reverence.
To each their own I guess. I never developed a taste for it.
“I only hear drunks speak about drinking with such reverence.”
You just never hung out with a more sophisticated crowd.
At Level Three, you get drinking fantasies (“Hey fellas, if we bought our own bar, we could live together forever. We could do it. Tommy, you could cook.”).
-Larry Miller (Five Levels of Drinking)
Alcohol is poison. Just finished reading a bio of Beethoven, whose last years were absolute torture for him due to his cirrhosis of the liver. The MDs description of the state of his organs during autopsy is horrific. He never listened to his doctors’ pleadings to stay off wine, Madeira, etc. and died at 55. Although, astonishingly, he composed some of his greatest works in between bouts of agonizing pain and suffering.
You can definitely see the aging effects of alcohol in people in their 50s and 60s compared to those who don’t drink.
I’d love to go to some of these places.
It’s where you hear the best stories jokes and lies fun.
"When business people say, “Let’s have lunch together,” I always say no. You wanna talk business, we’ll talk business. You wanna have lunch, we’ll have lunch. But if you do them both together, you’re not doing either one justice."
LOL. Tube In, Tube Out.
