VIDEO IS NOT BROKE - GIVE IT A SECOND

The dinner scene is proof that Rushmore exposed Bill Murray's genius, not to mention the brillance of Wes Anderson. Why? It's all based on the semi-repressed laugh/choke. It's awkward and it's real. Max makes a dumb joke and Mr. Blume laughs inspite of the awkward situation. Someone besides Anderson would have made that a more outright reaction if not simply ignoring it. But he doesn't and it makes all the difference. It adds comic relief to an incredibly tense dinner party. I can't watch that scene without feeling completely out of place and uneasy which is exactly how it should be. Caddyshack is funny and Ghostbusters rules, but this is my favorite Bill Murray scene of all time.

What did you ever do?
