Ground Hog Day

[fflo]

I have rented the movie Ground Hog Day to watch tonight. I've seen it before; I like it. I like its message of eternal hope for redemption. That even a complete social schlub can eventually get it right. It's a "keep plugging" kind of tale, and we need more of those, particularly when it's a message to keep plugging at interpersonal relations.

Unfortunately, I don't much like Andie McDowell, having seen her be quite the snoot on Letterman (I think it was). So I think Bill Murray's character should get a better reward for his perseverance. Nominations? It should be a female character in a movie. I'll start with these:

1. Barbara Bel Geddes in Vertigo
2. Sigourney Weaver in Alien (or sequel)
3. Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday
4. Olympia Dukakis in Tales of the City

I've never watched "Groundhog Day". I used to think I would hate Bill Murray in anything until I saw "Cradle Will Rock".
I did see Andie McWooden er... McDowell in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Why isn't she doing store front windows?

Ha! Love it.

Have you seen Lost in Translation? Bill Murray as caricature of himself sorta works in it, I have to say. And it's great to look at, all that Tokyo lit up at night stuff.
