Groundhog Day (1993)

  • Phil: I think people place too much emphasis on their careers. I wish we could all live in the mountains at high altitude. That's where I see myself in five years. How about you?
  • Rita: Oh, I agree. I just like to go with the flow. See where it leads me.
  • Phil: Well, it's led you here.
  • Rita: Mm hmm. Of course it's about a million miles from where I started out in college.
  • Phil: You weren't in broadcasting or journalism?
  • Rita: Uh unh. Believe it or not, I studied 19th-century French poetry.
  • Phil: [laughs] What a waste of time! I mean, for someone else that would be an incredible waste of time. It's so bold of you to choose that. It's incredible; you must have been a very very strong person.
Happy Groundhog Day.

Happy Birthday, Bill Murray.

So, like, there’s a lake of evil goo bubbling under the streets of a major metropolitan city:

A team of “flushers” equipped with full breathing apparatus has been drafted in with shovels to dig out an estimated 1,000 tonnes of putrid fat from an area under Leicester Square.

Quick, someone get on the phone to BIll Murray and Dan Aykroyd! This sounds suspiciously like the plot from Ghostbusters II. A case of life imitating art… if you substitute the word “art” for “crummy movie sequel”.
