Rick Moranis

Last night, Colleen and I watched the musical classic, Little Shop of Horrors. The 80s version. It left me thinking, why did Rick Moranis not have an immense career? He was/is so talented, although I imagine he's all old and fat now, so the boyish charm he had in the 80s has likely faded. Then again, Bill Murray has yet to lose his charm, no matter how old and fat he gets.

Speaking of Bill Murray, Colleen suggested that Bill Murray's best comedic performance may have been the single scene he had in Little Shop of Horrors. It is an amazing scene. Hard to argue. Steve Martin, however, steals the whole movie. He is incredible. If you haven't seen the movie, check it out if only for Steve Martin as a would-be serial killer who became a dentist to satisfy his sadistic tendencies.

I do love Rick Moranis, though. That is the point. He shrank [sic] the kids, he was the keymaster, and he was Lord Dark Helmet. I am hoping for a Rick Moranathon. We'll see if my giving, selfless, generous, amazing wife will agree. I know she will. She loves me.

Here's Rick Moranis, sketched in pen.
