There was an X-Files episode based on this concept. It was fucking awful. It blows my mind that nobody in the script-meeting realised that it would be boring to watch the same events unfold 4 times, with negligable differences in each occurence until the final one.

Stargate had a similar episode. One of the best episodes in the series.

Too early for flapjacks?

Good flick.

This thread has been magical, and one of the reasons I'm glad I have a GAF account. The moderators knew to just let it roll, the posters had fun with it but didn't go overboard by spamming duplicate posts, everyone had a good laugh and I'm sure it will get locked and quickly fall off the top page without anyone being upset or doing any harm.

But ElectricBlanketFire needs a "Too early for flapjacks?" custom tag, linking to this thread, to preserve for posterity the great Groundhog Day thread of 2013.

From Wiki:

Desson Howe of the The Washington Post noted that even though the film is a good Bill Murray vehicle, "'Groundhog' will never be designated a national film treasure by the Library of Congress". The film was selected by the National Film Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress in 2006.

I love the idea that he could have been stuck in a loop for 10,000 why is this thread unlocked again? Soo weird.

I dont know how you managed to get first post. Its a miracle.

It was never locked.

I just wanted to add my support for the flapjacks tag for the op.

Cyan locked it last night.

Ah, missed that.

 

[B-Dubs]

Ah, missed that.

He didn't make the right post though so it didn't take.

Guys, I just got out of an eternal time loop! However, I spent the whole time reading GAF and TV Tropes, so I didn't accomplish much.

How did you break the loop?

 

[Grisby]

This was a fun thread. Should do it again next year.

My wife's response to this thread:

I don't even know who that is. Maybe I should listen to the radio more.

 

[Amagon]

Probably one of the most trippiest threads I've seen in a long time.

 

[Cyan]

You can't plan something like this. It wouldn't be magic.

 

[Kinyou]

Babe...

I got you babe...

 

[Hot Coldman]

good luck with that

 

[Link Man]

Went outside.

 

[Grisby]

Yeah, I suppose.

good luck with that

Thanks.

Fun fact: Harold Ramis originally suggested that Phil was stuck in the loop for 9-10 years, but later decided it was closer to 30 or 40.

In the original script (which was much darker), it was closer to 10,000 years; Phil tracked time by reading a page of a book each day and had managed to read through the entire public library.

Saw this movie for the first time yesterday (yeah yeah) and I love how they hint at how long he might have been repeating the day (the skills he's picked up, how he knows everyone in town) but don't beat you over the head with it.

And thank you all for a most enjoyable thread.

 

[DrForester]

Agreed. Next year's thread will be terrible because it will just be a retread of this one.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I like the ambiguity. It kind of makes you feel like he was stuck there for so long even HE lost count.

Pretty sure this thread happened last year as well...I feel like it did anyway. It may not have blown up as much though.
