I feel excited, because 2 of my favourite things are joining forces to make the best movie of all time: Wes Anderson and NBA basketball. This is a picture from the set in a scene where he is feeling aloof, and goes to an NBA game and ‘feels nothing.’ Apparently, Bill Murray stars as a down-on-his-luck bro who just got divorced from Margot Tenenbaum, and gets back from sea. He wants to rebuild his life, and get a decent paycheck playing in the NBA.
Eventually, Bill Murray must go through a series of whimsical conversations to get himself a tryout. He eventually makes the team, but then finds out that black men h8 old white men. He goes through adversity, gets dunked on by LeBron James, and eventually becomes a contributor and vocal team leader from the bench on a championship team. He also reunites with his estranged son.
I feel excited about this movie. I think it will help to ‘humanize’ our perception of professional athletes, instead of thinking of them as lucky/blessed / relevant / important 2 society / ass holes / spoiled / new money bros who buy tyte cars / etc.
Think that the tentative title of the film is HE GOT BBALL DIARIES.

Looove Bill Murray. Sometimes I feel like he plays the same ‘disconnected’ character in every movie…but maybe that’s a good thing. I have only seen his post-Rushmore stuff, so I don’t even know if he is like a ‘comedian.’ I can’t believe he was on SNL once… do yall think he made ‘digital shorts’ like that Jewish guy on SNL now?

@JSHAW, you’re right. Thank you for explaining to me why I shouldn’t care about being 1st or 6th. You know (if I can just be real with you for a moment here), the whole issue had really dominated my life for so long now. 1st, 6th, 2nd, 3rd: I couldn’t handle the shame of losing. Thanks to you, and your lucid explanation of why it is unimportant to want to be 1st, I feel like I can really move on with my life. Start doing “other shit,” as you put it. Thank you.
Think Bill Murray wants 2 be Daft Punk. Plays robots who ‘just want 2 b human after all.’
