I. Still. Don't. Fucking. Get. It.

If it's cloudy and the groundhog doesn't see it's shadow, spring comes early. If it's sunny and the groundhog sees it's shadow then there is 6 more weeks of winter.

Why can't we just look out the window and see if it is cloudy or sunny?

I saw this movie for the first time about three years ago.

I hated it. Hated the protagonist, hated how he got out of the loop, didn't find it funny or insightful or clever or even interesting. Just a frustrating bore.

But I live in a post Groundhog Day world so pop culture has been shaped by the film and will be for eons... blargh

It used to be mine. Now I find myself wishing to be trapped in an actual Groundhog Day before Trump won the presidency.

Incidentally, my local movie theater is screening Groundhog Day... for FREE... on Thursday night.
I haven't watched this film on the big screen since it was first released.

I seriously hope Trump doesn't do anything horrible today because if I'm going to live the same day over and over, I'd like it to be a little less stupid than it has been.

In Spain the movie is officially called "Atrapado en el tiempo" (Trapped in time), but the majority of people still call the movie the name El Dia de la Marmota (The Groundhog Day). Strange fuck up by the translators that thought the new Spanish name for the movie would work better for marketing that translating the original English name as it is.

Man I was looking forward to this annual thread because it was hilarious and everyone seemed to play along. Must be a lot of new members here now that aren't accustomed to GAF traditions and lore. The DEEPEST LORE.

Maybe it really was too early for flapjacks

Yeah, I've been through this day a few times. Trump's going to do something stupid today, trust me. Don't really get why I haven't leaped though.

Ehh, is Groundhog day really a thing in Spain? Can't blame them for the title change.

Happy Groundhogs Day! I actually really like this holiday. Even though it doesn't mean matter of a fact that it is the end of winter, it feels like more of a symbolic turning point! Kind of like we have gotten through the most of winter and turning a corner into spring.

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.
