Cold out there every day

Groundhog Day

(1993)

This is such a movie-and-sports-filled weekend that I considered giving this annual a pass, but dammit, when it's not even February yet and winter already seems endless, you need to know that escape is possible.

And I noticed something--someone, actually--I'd never noticed before. Late in the film I looked closely at Fred (you, know: Debby's fiancé) and thought, "He looks so soft, but could that be a very young Michael Shannon?" Could be, is, 19 years old in his first theatrical feature (and his last for 3 years). So given Stephen Tobolowsky's memorable role here, and given my current weeknight TV watching, that's two skeevy HBO characters represented in the film.
