what would you do first, once you were sure you were experiencing groundhog day?
i'd take a shitload of drugs, knowing that there would be no adverse consequences. if you can't get addicted, i reckon heroin's a right lark.

I must admit, I'd be tempted to use the intel-gathering strategy Bill Murray uses in the film to trick ladies lovelier than i to bed me.

Groundhog Day rocks... I would just let my imagination go crazy and wing it from day to day, doing crazy fun things!

heres a thought..... imagine meeting somebody who was experiencing g-day. They'd be acting really strange after say, 100 g-days - listless, bored, excited, annoying, "knowing" etc.
weird!

listless, bored, excited, annoying, "knowing" etc.
so basically it'd be like being around a chronic cokehead!
even more fucked up: what if the entire world experienced g-day at the same time? some crazy shit would go down. it'd be anarchy, people killing their neighbours knowing that they'd come 'back to life' the next day anyway... in fact there'd be a new world order based on who woke up first and was located closest to a cache of weapons.
wouldn't it be weak if you were hungover on your g-day? every day, waking up with a banging headache, all dehydrated and shit.

I think Bill Muray pretty much covered the whole spectrum in that movie. Frustration, Despair, Liberation, Apathy, Contentment.

the sometimes amazing series, "Stargate SG-1" had an episode where 2 of the characters get stuck in a temoral loop that amounted to g-day for months and months.
Unluckily for one of them his loop started thje moment he banged his head of a roof beam while jack found himself forever starting off munching into fruitloops.
In order to break the loop they both had to study up on the physics, languages and technology of the aliens that caused it and it showed them getting really into it, learning to juggle, spend whole days pissing about etc. it was hilarious....

hmm that changes things somewhat.
for example, it's no biggy to be in a prison cell for a night, but for a whole week? might have to show some restraint with the illegalities. which is no fun at all.
if the week was turning out boring you could just kill yourself and be instantly transported to the next monday.

i reckon if it was just me and a few other people experiencing g-day, with the rest of the world oblivious, it'd just turn into a great big deathmatch played out on the city streets. if you know your mate's gonna wake up fine the next day it'd be kind of fun to kill them in an amusing and preferably humiliating manner.

he made her fall in love with him by doing loads of good stuff for everyone in the town. bit cheesy but murray pulls it off, you can tell that he's still the same cynical cunt, but posing as a pillar of the community. and he gets the girl anyway!

oh yeh..... it was a love thang
its a very Kaufman kind of story isn't it really. imagine he got his hands on it first - it'd be alot darker and visually more appealing probably.

i don't think the script needs much tweaking (except perhaps the cheesy ending), it's kaufmanesque enough as it is.
could have done with some darker direction though, a bit of michel gondry perhaps. my favourite bits are the really dark bits when he's an absolute wreck and keeps trying to kill himself.
what does that say about me?
