TFD: Let Bill Murray -- actor and St. Paul Saints co-owner -- take you on a tour of 'Moonrise Kingdom'

Good times.

Consider this video for a few reasons:

1) It's awesome, and it should make you want to see "Moonrise Kingdom," the latest Wes Anderson movie and one slated to open this weekend in select places.

2) Bill Murray, in the midst of taking you on a fabulous trip through the movie's characters, reveals he has never seen "Bottle Rocket," Anderson's first film and arguably his funniest.

3) This is our public attempt to organize a giant viewing party of "Bottle Rocket" with Mr. Murray, perhaps at Midway Stadium -- home of the St. Paul Saints, a team he still co-owns.

We're only 20 percent serious about Drew Butera becoming a reliever pitcher/backup catcher with the Twins after some minor league seasoning, but we're 120 percent serious about watching Bottle Rocket with Bill Murray.

Thanks to @rackael and @ejipp for bringing this to our attention.

In any event, the video:

The team will open its WNBA campaign on May 10 against Atlanta, assuming the league and the players union have a deal by then.
