Is it bad that I have been laughing at the
suicides
?

Not at all, since some of them are intentionally funny (Toaster, driving off a cliff, etc.).

I love the idea that he could have been stuck in a loop for 10,000 years. I wish they had touched on it more in the film.

I like that it remains ambiguous about things like that. When films try to explain things too much, it saps the momentum and energy out if it's not done just right. I like that we have no idea why or for how long he was stuck.

Just want to break the cycle and say that Stephen Tobolowsky (Ned) has been perfect in just about everything he's ever done, which is actually a SHITLOAD. Seriously, go look, he's been in almost as much as Samuel L Jackson.

Yes, I agree. The film nails it with the pacing as it is.

Those couple of hobo scenes get me every time. :(

Stargate SG-1 had an episode like it as well. It was pretty good, especially when O'neill started to lose it.

In Spain the movie is officialy 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.
