In honor of this outcast of the popular holidays, and to mark Punxsatawney Phil's annual 15 minutes, today's Friday VicPick video (albeit late today) is of the classic Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day. Like his other great philosophical films, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, Caddyshack, and What About Bob?, I've always felt that this movie speaks to the deeper meaning in every day life such as, "why are we here?" and "what is the meaning of life?". Such subtle undertones are what propelled Murray movie's career. They're subtle, but they're there.
As for the official 2007 report, Punxsatawney Phil says:
El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.
Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.
This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.
Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.
I predict that early spring is on the way.
