Before 1993, Groundhog Day was just a weird moment when winter-weary people turned to a rodent, named Punxsutawney Phil, to divine whether or not cold weather would last another six weeks. But then came the film Groundhog Day, about a newscaster, played by Bill Murray, who relives the same day over and over again. Then the holiday took on a whole new meaning. Now when we are having a day—or year—filled with tedious, repetitive activities, we say, “It’s Groundhog Day.” And what better day to watch the film that started it all then on February 2? That’s when Coast Cinemas in Fort Bragg will screen the classic flick, at 7 p.m. Purchase tickets, which are $15, at mendocinofilmfestival.org.
