Re: Bill Murray revisits Groundhog Day
I feel privileged to have watched it in the cinema when it came out, feel like I was part of history. That film was more influential than the likes of Jaws and A New Hope. Groundhog Day to mean the same thing happening over and over again came from that film. I don't think another film since Gaslight (gaslighting) can say that.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

This trend of rehashing beloved works of pop art for the sake of hocking products makes me want to vomit. Absolutely disgusting. Murray should be ashamed of himself for participating in this.

Much as I hate to admit it, I tend to agree.

I still love Bill Murray though and it does not in the least tarnish the legacy of Groundhog Day. Classic to the end, RIP Harold Ramis

What a dumb ad. Murray never hung out with the groundhog in the movie.
