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

Well, I'm not a big fan of Letterman any more, so Andie McDowell being a snoot to him doesn't really bug me. But I'll play!

How's about:

1. Can't remember her name, and my dialup is too pokey to Google right now. Cary Grant's fiance in Arsenic and Old Lace. Irene something?
2. Katharine Ross in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
3. Eve Marie Saint (I think I spelled all that right)in North by Northwest.
4. Geena Davis in A League of Their Own.

I pondered on Katharine Hepburn and Susan Sarandon in anything, but decided Murray's character didn't deserve that good of a reward. Whaddaya think?

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?
