Today's Webtip: Nothing Lasts Forever

A long lost science fiction film with Bill Murray.

Let me start by saying I haven't watched this film yet.

But I will be watching it later on today, and I'm pretty certain it is at least worth checking out. It's an 80's film by Saturday Night Live writer Tom Schiller. A film described as a mix between Terry Gilliam's Brazil with a bit of Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 thrown in. A film dealing with bureaucracy run amok, featuring a bus trip to the moon, true love and cameos by people like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Larry "Bud" Melman.

A film very few people have ever seen since it was shelved immediately after a test screening. Which either means it was too good or too bad for it's time.

I'm willing to take a gamble.
