Are you the guy who changed "Groundhog" into "Butthog" in the Wikipedia 
page? I just had to revert that.

I was beginning to think I was the only one... No one I've known seems 
to like the movie in the least. I quite enjoyed it.

oh, no, you're quite wrong!  The movie is something of a cult classic by its
own. My father, which is not a Hollywood-digger, enjoyed the movie very, very
much.  And we're both brazilians, which is to say Groundhog day meant squat to
us.  I believe it's because of the larger message of self-discovery and
self-improvement in the movie, which is quite universal.

In the "making-of" which accompanies the DVD, the director and cast became
surprised with its popularity and said many people from different faiths
expressed the movie has some spiritual quality about it.  Was the time-warp a
work of God?  Has Phil dropped in some kind of wormhole?  The movie never says
it and that makes it more universal to the viewer...

I think it's one of the best movies to come out of Hollywood in the 90's... a
true shiny, little gem.

I see you don't like cynicism.  too bad...

Bill somehow is a loved figure, despite all the cynicism his characters ooze.

Hey, careful with that. People would confuse you with an idiot American.

nothing, just the idiot ones)

Well, I'd have to say that without Murray, the film wouldn't have been 
the same....<g>

I don't have much memory of that one.

But I have to admit I also liked Scrooged....

Definitely!  Have you seen "What about Bob?"?  It's the film he worked on just
before Groundhog.  By Frank Oz and with Richard Dreyfuss playing Bill's
psychiatrist.  Very fun movie as well. :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_About_Bob%3F

seems Spielberg liked Murray's performance so much that started a campaign to
get him an Oscar nomination...

BTW, Murray is also the voice of Garfield in the movies...

you can't go wrong with Dr. Pete Venckman or Garfield! :))

They're more curves than angles, methinks.

How could you not love a character that would say this:

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria."

I mean, come on :) where's the love?

The second one *did* suck.

The first one was pretty neat - just not because of that particular 
character.

How about: "Morons!  Your bus is leaving!" :)

I find it hard to believe someone has issues with such cynical but loveable
characters Murray come up with.  Many of his lines are improvised, BTW...

LOL, yes, true - but "Charley's Curves" doesn't have the same ring to 
it. ;-)
