I love a story that combines the fantastic with the everyday.  And while Ghostbusters certainly does this and does it beautifully; I love the way that it is more subtle in Groundhog Day .  How everything is perfectly normal except for that little something that is off.  In this case, it's how Bill Murray has to keep living the same day o

She tossed it roughly to Megan who had to roll to the
