>groundhog's day ends because phil learns to be selfless>it actually ends the day he buys life insurance from ned ryerson
I lived for 35 years of my life with people all around me telling me that I need to go watch Scrooged.I finally watched it this christmas and it was pure ass. I assume Groundhogs Day will be more of the same, so I will wait another 35 years before i watch it. (or at least until bill dies)
>>217212979What movie is this, unc?
>>217212979Is it true bill murry has a micro penis?
I heard this was supposed to be much more serious than it turned out. I'd love to see a dark existential remake of this.
>>217213213It had its share of dark. He tried to save that homeless dude multiple times but he kept dying, there was no way to stop it even when he took him to the ER immediately, it was just his time to go. That part of the movie always stuck with me.
>catched
>>217213514You've been here too long. You need to leave.
>>217213213Ramis wanted it to be serious, Murray wanted it to be a comedy and they constantly butted heads about it.
>>217212979>Life insurance Has it always been a scam? I got tricked into it a few years ago and I see a lot of friends getting suckered into to as well. Is it our generations version of time share schemes?
>>217212979uncslop
>>217213213How do you do that without it turning into a comedy though? Like it could be all about him losing his mind and going on a daily rampage and rape and murdering everyone, but the next day when he wakes up and everything is back to normal would be extremely funny.
>>217213605>>217213605no, its for people with families. so if you die, your wife and kids wont be brokeif you're a neet, you don't need life insurance.
>>217213605it only makes sense if you're broke and you dont want your family to have to cover your funeral expenses.
>>217213168Nah you've been done dirty. Scrooged is ass but GD is one of the all time greats. I'd put it as one of the best films ever made.
>>217213619Well, it would have to be a completely different film entirely, with different actors and situations. The alarm radio song would have to change too.
>>217213705>Nah you've been done dirty. Scrooged is ass but GD is one of the all time greats. I'd put it as one of the best films ever made.If I find out you're lying, I'll be back here in 35 years and be super pissed.
>>217213168>>217213189>>217213615I can't stand you faggots. Everybody over the age of 30 leave this board right now.
>>217213168Bill Murray is the most overrated actor ever and his movies are overrated as well. Groundhogs Day is actually good though.
>>217213738If you couldn’t tell by the title, it’s Bill Murray doing an 80s yuppie take on A Christmas Carol. Weirdly it was his first comeback movie after taking a long break post Ghostbusters.

>>217213758I’m a fan, but he seemed pretty insufferable back in the 80s. Ghostbusters was a huge hit and his passion project movie (The Razor’s Edge) predictably flopped, so he moved to France and studied philosophy at the Sorbonne (eyeroll) and didn’t do another movie for five years. It’s like okay Bill, you clearly fancy yourself a serious artist, but all of this is being funded by Ghostbusters money.
>>217213605If you had a real job it would be part of your company insurance planIf you had a family you would understand why you might need itThese sorts of questions prove you have neither and should be rounded up and put in a labor camp
>>217212979Because Ned Ryerson is the devil and starts the cycle when Phil doesn't buy insurance
>>217212979This is what would have happened to me>Decide to finally rape>Time loop stops
>>217213758>>217213887Bill Murray is responsible for people thinking they can just make this face and look smart
>>217213917>we're going to give your family money so they won't be poor>if you die>well, couldn't you just->NO
>>217213738Groundhog Day is what, February 2nd? Make a point to watch it. It and The Truman Show are probably the best films of the 90's.
>>217213917kek. I was about to get married and had a lot of cash saved up but not invested. A friend of a friend claimed he was a "financial Advisor" and that he could help me invest and grow. After a week of back and forth meetings, going over budgeting and investing goals, and hours of paperwork, only then did he mention it was a life insurance policy. Me being dumb still went through with it. Turns out he was a glorified mlm salesman with a fancy title. He pretty much ditched me as soon as we signed up and it took a mountain of effort to get out of it.
>>217213960Realistically it would probably take several hundred days for you to feel confident enough to do anything bad, by which point you no longer care.
>>217213964Clearly someone talked some sense into him or he realized he just liked being a rich guy, because his first projects when he came back were Scrooged and Ghostbusters 2.
>>217213213Edge of Tomorrow
>>217213960that's the point,you wouldn't risk it
>>217213168Scrooged is 80s slop with a hamfisted moral but Groundhog's Day is a delightful high concept romp that doesn't tell the moral directly to the camera. It's still cheesey so don't expect kino of the highest order but recognize there is a real reason why people love this movie.
>>217214070No need for rapage anyway. Just steal a sackful of cash and offer it for sex. No woman would turn that down. In the 90s maybe, but not today.
>>217212979Ned is the devil. This has been proven. "The Head" is his nickname because he is the god of this world.
>>217213967>Give me money just becauseAnd clearly doesn’t understand how insurance works
>>217214042Ghostbusters 2 was a straight up contractual obligation. And he only did the first movie so the studio would green light his passion project: the razor's edge (its a very good movie worth checking out). He did everything he could to minimize his time on set of ghostbusters 2. And he was always the holdout for a third movie.
>>217213168Groundhog Day was so good Tim cruise copied it for edge of tomorrow. A piece of shit movie I bet you already seen. Watch the original.
>>217213168scrooged is nowhere near as good
>>217213917>If you had a real job it would be part of your company insurance planThis is an americanism because americans are in constant debt.
>>217214118The economy is fake. You want proof? No airlines went out of business during covid. It isn't even money printer go brr, it's faker than that. It's all just bleeps and bloops on a computer screen.
>>217213213It's already dark existentialism in its own way. Imagine you could loop a whole day for years and years. Ok, first you're surprised about it, do some mischief, steal some money, get some girls because there are no consequences to your actions anymore. The day resets and you start all over again. Suddenly you become bored and angry about your situation and you walk a dark path that ends with you unable to tolerate your life anymore**,** and you commit suicide to escape from the loop. Except you can't. You are essentially a cartoon character, like Tom in Tom and Jerry: you get electrocuted, run over by a car, you jump off a building...and yet nothing happens. You can't escape the hell of existence. You suddenly open your heart to a woman you love. You choose to be a better person, help some people like the beggar over and over, unable to save him whatever you do. You begin to choose good over evil. You help people to help yourself, even though it doesn't matter in the long run(or at all) You choose love for your fellow human beings. A path of righteousness. And to have fun while doing it, even though you're stuck in a loop. You attain a sort of enlightenment, and you are released from groundhog samsara. I think the movie tells a beautiful and profound story through comedy
>>217214192Is this your excuse for not having a job?
>>217214174You don’t work for a company that has an insurance plan, do you?
>>217214216It really sounds like the speech he gives his family every time they ask him about the job search during dinner.
>>217214023>friend ends up hocking some MLM shit and gets two other friends drinking the kool-aid>they're so eager to sign me up they let me use their credit card to do the initial buy-in of shit>humor them for a while, use the stuff i have a use for and chuck the rest>try to cancel everything but it's a total cunt>stop being friends with those people for other reasons>ignore calls for months about how my payments keep coming out and he wants me to pay him back for them
>>217214216One of the major ones, yes. That and I will never, ever lift a single goddamn finger to help zog ever, and neither should you.
>>217214255Based. I had a few highschool friends fall into internet sales. Its pretty pathetic and kind of sad.
>>217214264I have a bronze star and a combat infantry badgeEnjoy being a faggot!
>>217214290>someone reaches out to me from high school>feel touched they want to rekindle a relation with me>instead they ask for money or try to do some mlmIf I were smarter I would fuck their life up for pulling that shit.
>>217214313None of that means anything to me and I don't know why you'd think it would. You sold your body to help zog steal from brown people. Go take some more ptsd pills, bub.
>>217213168groundhog day and ghostbusters are the only good bill murray movies I've seen and I've seen a good number.
>>217214355>hey anon>you always seemed like a pretty smart guy>how would you like to start your own business
>>217214355Just take solace in the fact that they probably threw themselves into debt for that sales job and are likely pretty fucked already.
>>217214070In the original script he was in the loop for like ten thousand years.
>>217214389And I got a free degree, free healthcare, a fat check every monthNo down payment on my mortgageCombat training and experienceWhat the fuck you got?
>>217214476A soul? lul
>>217214149Yeah, this is my post >>217213887. The Razor’s Edge is fine, but Murray clearly had this pompous opinion of himself. I’ll never understand why he seemed to have thought Ghostbusters was some paycheck piece of crap when it had plenty of talent behind it and was a huge hit.
>>217214525My soul is savedI have life insurance, remember?
>>217214568I definitely think he kind of resents that everyone remembered that movie and not the one he really wanted to make. I think the kinds of movies he always wanted to work on are closer to quirky dramatic comedy like lost in translation, the wes anderson movies, and the stuff he's done with Jim Jarmusch. But Bill Murray gonna Bill Murray
>>217212979That would suck to murder someone then the curse stops.
>>217214780What pisses me off is the sheer entitlement. He got to make this big studio movie with his buddies who let him improvise and do whatever he wanted and on top of that he got funding for his passion project. Some people are just inherently miserable I guess.
*ahem*I like Bill Murray.
>>217213189>unc?So are you faggots not using "boomer" anymore?
>>217212979>catched
>>217213168ive never even heard of scrooged, who the fuck has been telling you toalso looking that movie up i just learned bill murray has 3 other brothers, the fuck
>>217217564>ive never even heard of scroogedIts a great modern retelling of a christmas carol with some dark humor. Some neat creatures.And you've seen Brian Doyle Murray in a million things, he was a go-to character actor for grumpy dickhead boss with a froggy voice. Comedy Central used to have a show that was just Bill Murray and his brothers going to various golf courses and talking shit while they played nine holes.
>>217213705I like Scrooged
>>217213967if you die unexpectedly. if you live to get paid out they pay you less than if you invested it yourself
>>217213168I love Scrooged, it's probably my favorite Christmas movie ever, but it's objectively not that good.Groundhog Day is much better and one of the best comedies ever made.
