Topic: I always liked the “caught in a time loop” genre.

This is somewhat associated with the infinite dimensions genre.

Groundhog Day wasn’t a good one, but Edge of Tomorrow and a few others were. Reliving the same day, if it’s not an alien war, wouldn’t necessarily be hell. You can do whatever you want because the day resets. There are no consequences.

There’s a mediocre one set at a wedding. So your every day is a big party and you can bang a different bridesmaid every night. You could make every day unique.

Multiple dimensions are different in that it could be hard not to treat every “world” as a sandbox playground.

Summer time rendering wasn't so bad. In regards to film I enjoyed Looper.

Sucks that it was Rian Johnson's last decent film before he directed the TLJ and the knives out movies which are nothing more than meme mines.

I had to look up Summer Time Rendering. I believe I’ve seen this plot plagiarized multiple times in several films and shows, though they tweak the event from a funeral.

There is the theory of the Möbius — a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop from which there is no escape.

I liked in that movie mobius where mobius said "it's mobin' time" and turned into a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop from which there is no escape.

Dark Matter was a cool show. I almost want an evil show where a deeply disturbed guy looks to cause hell in other dimensions. He doesn’t consider them real. Same with the time loop. Imagine Bill Murray in Groundhog Day dragging Andie McDowell behind the truck or killing everyone in the diner with a shotgun.

Basically the behavior gamers have in play throughs they don’t plan to save.

Are you sure? I checked again and it still says Apple renewed it for a second season, probably to release this year.

I mean the 2024 Apple TV show. I should have clarified. Not the SyFy show.

No. I looked up your show. Sounds awesome. The one I’m referring to has a guy who gets swapped into an alternate dimension by his double. I liked it. Others didn’t. There’s a sort of cargo container device that lets you open infinite doors to infinite alternate realities.

I liked that one despite it having that GotG paint job with the rag tag of criminals; it wasn't insufferable to watch.

In the lore of gorundhog day, groundhog day was 10,000 years and he basically did everything you can imagine, which would include all kinds of delinquent behaviour.
