I remember the admin going nuclear in grade school because we'd created fantasy play of Axis vs Allies where one side branded by drawing swastikas on their wooden rulers.
He's not even trying after Rita in the end
The movie takes place over something like 50 years according to the writer with Murray reliving the same day over.
- He learns chainsaw ice sculpting to impress Rita
- He learns to play piano to impress Rita
- He studies French poetry to recite it to her
- He fakes liking children and has a playful snowball fight with them for her admiration
- He methodically learns all her likes and icks like a sociopath to try to recreate the "perfect day" to manipulate her emotions towards him
I do buy the overall self-improvement narrative in Groundhog Day.
But the central plot is the exact opposite of "just be yourself" and "enjoy life". The movie was 50 years of grind for Phil.
Never seen it before.
Nice to see soy die.
Probably Sean Connery's palliative care nurse.
Loved Nightcrawler as well.
Gyllenhaal played a great sociopath.
Carey Mulligan in Drive with Ryan Gosling is a pretty decent example of a submissive character.
I can't remember many specifics about her character other than her beauty and her mousiness.
Perhaps the only counterargument was that she was a little too chummy with Gosling's character when her husband Oscar Isaacs was in jail.
Lol. I thought of that interpretation as well.
I guess Rickman was Prince John as well, not the Sheriff.
She was also a child. At least in the first one.
I agree that Andie* in the film is marriage material.
But there's not much about her that's submissive.
She's Murray's producer boss & rolls her eyes at the beginning in how much of a pain in the ass it is having to manage the "talent" that is Phil (Murray).
She's chaste in the sense that she plays hard to get & makes Murray work for it.
But if anything, it's the narcissistic asshole Murray that has to "submit" to MacDowell in the end by changing his ways to become more of her ideal man to get the girl.
Not related, but the scene at the end where Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham is trying to casually rape Maid Marian in front of the Bishop to consummate the marriage in real time is probably not something we'll see again.
It's a stretch I suppose.
But it could be argued she's nagging him offscreen to leave his superhero adventures & obligations behind for good to be just another beta retired stay-at-home dad.
Angie MacDowell in Groundhog Day is more akin to The Taming of The Shrew than a fair maiden.
The central plot of the film is that the clod Bill Murray has to repeat hundreds of attempts to win her over through repetition and ruse because any small error leads to the day ending in getting slapped and rejected.
Maggie Gyllenhaal is a submissive in a sexual sense to James Spader in 2002's Secretary. But she's also a mentally ill psycho.
She cuts herself. She purposely tries to antagonize her boss to receive BDSM punishment. She's also awful and dismissive to her wholesome beta bf.
Erin from The Office was cute and meek.
Her character though was more portrayed as a babe-in-the-woods simpleton to be mocked than a true submissive woman.
TL;DR - Poilievre and the Canadian Conservative Party refuse to even acknowledge mass immigration of Indians as a problem.
They just blabber on about the government’s role in building housing and do photoops with Sikhs daily.
Reasonably attractive is being charitable.
I don't mean to speak ill of the dead. But she looks better from afar.
What's the status of things today?
Did they clear all the wreckage from the harbor?
Have they started reconstruction?
I didn't read the article.
But the original "mass graves" site in Kamloops was purposely never excavated & exhumed intentionally by the band leadership for the express purpose of keeping the hoax intact by never testing their claims.
The MeToo "mass grave" copycat discoveries on other reserves that followed the original hoax were the ones that were excavated and turned up nothing.

It was common knowledge at the time.
Of course like everything else with the flaming narcissist, nothing ever sticks and his cultists don't care even when he brazenly disrespects their sacred cows.
The author, Jon Kay, is a frustrating centrist.
He's a secular Jew from Montreal living in Toronto. He was formerly the Editor in Chief of Canada’s nominally right-leaning national newspaper, The National Post (founded by Conrad Black).
His current boss at Quilette, Claire Lehmann, was a raging COVIDian who supported putting purebloods in camps in Australia.
Kay himself remains an unapologetic vaxtard himself. He opposed the Canadian truckers, though without full blown derangement syndrome.
Kay is a leading Canadian figure in Canada against DEI nonsense and trans issues (he calls it "genderwang").
He also predictably is pro-Israel in the Palestinian conflict.
You left out how Trudeau incited and inflamed the moral panic, topping it off by creating a new federal holiday day of rememberance for the victims.
Then doublecrossed his comrade native leaders in Kamloops, BC who started the whole hoax by ghosting their memorial ceremonies on the inaugural holiday. Instead choosing to take the day off to go surfing off the coast of Vancouver Island in Tofino, BC.
The US version adopted the same format and characters from the UK original, but also comparatively turned it into Zombie Simpsons.
The Ricky Gervais OG ran for 2 seasons of 14 episodes total.
The Steve Carrell remake ran for 9 seasons and 201.
or saw a doctor is the opposite of embarrassing
The whole "sick note" industry is such a waste of everyone's time and resources as well.
Sick notes should be tiered based on who initiated the request.
-
The first would be the current basic "sick note" initiated by the patient or employer which essentially states "This patient has paid me 20$ and claims to me that they are ill".
-
The second would be doctor initiated and equivalent to having your driver's license suspended. "I have diagnosed this patient personally and commanded them to remain home from work for X amount of time. Dear Lord, may God help this man".
I believe he did radio.
They keep cutting back actual municipal garbage pickup services as well.
They barely do what their core function is supposed to be.
Is this some Ebonics shit?
