Great Moments in Movie Douchebaggery

I love douchebags at the movies. I’m not talking about the asshole noisily munching nachos two rows behind me, or the stupid bitch who turns to her boyfriend every forty-five seconds and loudly asks, “Who’s that?” and “What just happened?” No, I’m referring to the actors on screen portraying prickish windbags who relish abusing and or screwing over everyone they encounter. Those guys rule.

To pay homage to these cinema fucktards, I’m kicking off a semi-regular FlickSided feature called ‘Great Moments in Movie Douchebaggery.’ I figured it’s high time these fellas got their due, so I’m gonna oblige them now and again.

First up is Big Ern McCracken from the brilliant 1996 bowling comedy Kingpin. Played by the incomparable Bill Murray, Big Ern delivers a bevy of douchebag moments throughout the film. None better than the following scene where he leaves a painfully naive Roy Munson in a lurch after hustling cash from some bowling alley baddies.

This has been Great Moments in Movie Douchebaggery. Until next time….
