“Well, here’s how it works. His drunk dad tells him to get the “F” lost and downs another three belts of booze before falling asleep with a lit cigarette in his hand, thereby saving his preciious time machine.
If he’s particulary unlucky dear old dad pulls a gun and his time saga ends on the first trip. Just as well, imagine the tediousness of dragging dad’s drunk rear to countless AA meetings, just to learn the lesson Bill Murray went through with the old codger in Groundhog Day?”
Man...You seriously need some kind of therapy.
Oh I see, you believe that all it takes to stop his father from drinking and smoking is to go back in time and tell him what everyone was already telling him, and what he already knows? The entire premise is preposterous. BTW, I can’t believe there is serious discussion of this article taking place. I took it as a total goof.
