Bill Murray goes to summer camp in Meatballs.
The Blu-ray debut of the 1979 comedy Meatballs, one of Bill Murray’s (Get Low) earliest films, offers fans another opportunity to giggle over their favorite lines (via the prompting by a high-definition presentation).
Directed by Ivan Reitman (No Strings Attached), the film stars Murray as Tripper, the head counselor of Camp North Star, an off-the-wall summer getaway for kids and various misfits. Tripper guides his loveable campers and spirited staff members on a quest for fun in the sun. But this one summer has a couple of unique situations brewing for Tripper in the form of a runaway camper (Chris Makepeace, My Bodyguard), a cute fellow counselor (Kate Lynch, New Year) and an end-of-the-season Olympics competition against a rival camp filled with rich kids.
The Blu-ray will reportedly include an audio commentary by Reitman; Lionsgate is also re-issuing a DVD edition of Meatballs for a list price of $9.98.
Oh, and as for those memorable bits of dialogue, here’s a pair of my favorite lines, courtesy of Bill Murray:
“Mmmmm. Look at all those steaming wieners. Do you know what they’re saying? They’re saying, “This is the year that Fink beats ‘The Stomach’.”
and
“Well I feel sorry for her, you know. She’s got a glass eye. And, uh, I’m one of the few people who knows exactly which eye to look at when they’re talking to her, so she’s sort of fixated on me.”
