ego-death, infodumping, what you get, why the time loop is not 10,000 years long, and what i'd do with a time loop... #groundhogday minute 72.

in phil's room in #groundhogday minute 71, rita tries her hand at throwing cards in a hat and phil proclaims himself a jerk.

phil convinces rita with a note and i coin an alternative to a 'plot hole' - the 'background character hole' - in #groundhogday minute 70.

plus, does rita know who larry is?

phil knows about nancy, knows a tray will fall, and knows that rita likes the thighs of perfectly roasted chicken* in #groundhogday minute 69.

* that's a reference from the stage musical, not the movie.

phil knows stuff about strangers, i (apparently) can't even remember some friends' names, fred is freaking out, and rita still isn't buying the god thing in #groundhogday minute 68.

the god phil recounts the ways he has died, doris doesn't get to say her best line, and phil is still not on the path to self-improvement in #groundhogday minute 67.

i explain electrocution badly and discuss the unselfishness banner in the dining room as phil tries death by toaster, by truck, and by swan dive before rita identifies his corpse in #groundhogday minute 66.

phil and phil fly to their fiery deaths, there's no engine, there's clearly fake lighting, and rita's hair moves... and phil wakes up in need of some toast in #groundhogday minute 65.

phil reaches a dead end at the quarry, local cop is prepared to shoot him, and larry is already shooting (with his camera) in #groundhogday minute 64.

phil lets phil drive, scooter bites bill, and i still don't know where they filmed some of this chase sequence in #groundhogday minute 63.
