Random question, flisties:

I recently watched something, a TV show or a movie, in which the characters have a conversation about the movie Groundhog Day. (Which is totally an awesome movie, by the way.) They talk about how Phil wakes up every day on Groundhog Day, and he tries everything he can think of to break the cycle, and then finally one day he gets out of the loop. I know the question is posed, what does Phil do different on that last day to get out of the loop?

Now, I can remember neither the show/movie this came from, or the way they answer the question. I can't tell which one I want to know more. It's killing me. Ring any bells?

Anyone?

I just have to go rewatch that movie. Part of the suspense is I get so into his same day that I forget how he gets out every time. :-) I think he kinda doesn't even want to at the end and I kind of never want it to end, either.

I love that he learns to play the piano. :-)

I think that might have been the answer -- he stopped trying?

I was reading some article that says in order to have done all that he did he must have been caught in the loop for at least ten years. And then the director gave an interview in response to the blogger who calculated it and said no, more like 30 lol.

Scary!

Also there's a lot of reading about how the movie is very religious (many different religions) in nature and what his sort of "re-birth" and "redemption" represents. Very interesting stuff.
