star Bill Murray in scene from Groundhog Day #2,268
I have wondered whether Bill Murray's
Groundhog Day is a cultural / ideological sleeper, scoring higher on the scale of importance than standard cinematic analysis might suggest.
Many of us have lived through an experience that in retrospect we wish we'd handled better.
Groundhog Day embraces, explores that common human experience.
“When I was in Bangkok, I was eating at a restaurant with a friend when Bill Murray passed by, took a French fry from our basket, dipped it in ketchupate it, and said "No one's ever going to believe you" before walking out.” chatchy

London mayor's office calls Trump's comments 'appalling and bigoted' published at 10:23
Asked to comment on Trump's claims about Sir Sadiq Khan trying to impose Sharia Law in London, a spokesperson for the London mayor's office said: "We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response.
"London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major US cities, and we're delighted to welcome the record number of US citizens moving here."
And UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting has also pushed back, saying Khan, who is the first Muslim mayor of London, is not "trying to impose sharia law" on the UK capital.
Streeting wrote on X: "This is a mayor who marches with Pride, who stands up for difference of background and opinion, who's focused on improving our transport, our air, our streets, our safety, our choices and chances.
"Proud he’s our Mayor," Streeting added.
Loud gasps at UN as Trump denies climate changepublished at 10:20
The reaction from delegates here at the UN to Trump's speech has been relatively muted, with only smattering of applause and laughs at various points.
The most audible reaction, it seems to me, took place when Trump spoke about what he termed the climate change "scam", the fighting of which he believes is holding nations back.
At that line, I heard a loud gasp from various corners of the General Assembly floor. Several delegates shook their heads visibly, and I saw others turn to their neighbours and whisper some commentary, which I couldn't hear.
