WWAWD It's A Wonderful Life?

[UnPRePared]

Gosia and I watched it tonight, I don't think I've watched this in maybe... Thirty years? Probably a bit early for a Christmas movie, but I didn't have anything else to watch.

There's a real joyous simplicity to this film. Sure it's preachy, and loaded with Capra-isms that I can't say age very well (I'm a cynic I suppose). But it's a simpler escape, and a lovely message, even if Jimmy Stewart plays a stammering prig.

And I had forgotten this part, but Donna Reed... Wow. What a stunning bird she was.

Anyway, if you can let yourself see the world with rose tinted glasses for two hours, there's far worse ways.

It's a Wonderful Movie.

Of all the things that changed in Bedford Falls without George Bailey, the fact that Nick became a sarcastic asshole bartender was always the weirdest change. George Bailey was the only thing keeping him from being a dick.

Also, I always figured Mr. Potter was angry because he had to use those old timey wooden wheelchairs that looked like a dining chair with wheels. They are hard to move around and had to be uncomfortable.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOVIE HOUSE

I liked it ok. Vintage Hollywood broads give me big league boners so there's a plus.

 

[PickleRickle]

Thats a wonderful broad

 

[not that Jack Horner]

the beavis in butthead parody could be one of the funniest things ever



also i like how he had that chick naked in the bush and was toying with her like a sadist

Every single year it never fails to deliver.

I dont care about the backstory how it was a box office bomb that only started airing every Christmas because it was public domain.
The message hits home 80 years later and will forever be a timeless classic.

Also, Potter=Jew. There you can enjoy it even more now.

My parents watched it every year growing up so I fawkin hate it

Most villains in Christmas movies are Jews. The only exception is Scrooge, as his extended family celebrated Christmas, and the whole story was his redemption.

The Grinch was Jew who hated his Christian neighbors and wanted to destroy their holiday. But when he saw that Christianity was really about love, his heart grew and he wanted to join them. The story ends with the Grinch accepting Jesus as his savior.

This is coming from a movie fan: if I watched it every year, I'd hate it.

I'm not going to go into a rant criticizing the movie because I'm just going to sound like a cunt. It's a beautiful message that surrounds the film, Reed and Stewart act their fucking asses off, and it actually has a very up front anti-suicide message.

Can it be difficult to sit through all the way? Yeah, a bit. But you feel better about yourself after.

Waw, what's your problem? Waaaw. Ya gatta be more SPECIFIC. But we're gonna get THROUGH this. We're gonna turn this thing around. Did ya -- Did ya enter the area CODE? Just stick with me here, we'll turn this thing around.

Keep your chin up here. Stick with me here. We're gonna turn this thing around, alright? Alright, alright. Do you use your toolbar? Grab hold of your toolbar. That's where your icons are. But we're gonna get through this thing, you just gotta keep your chin up. We're gonna turn this thing around. Okay?

OH you got the DISC? That gr-- That's great! The suns on the horizon, we're gonna turn this thing around. Put your disc in. Boot up your compewtor. You're gonna have to push on the RESTART!!! You're gonna have to stick with me here. Keep focus, you're gonna have to write it down with a PENCIL. Keep focus, here. That's whaya TOOLBAR FOR, grab hold of it.

RESTART. You gotta stay focused now, don't get all upset. Can't lose your cool. Take a breath. Keep your chin up. No, take a breath. Calm down now, you -- You can't yell at me here.

CD-ROM Right? Don't stick a music CD in there. I'm not joking. It's like throwing vinegar on a horse's ass. Excuse me? If you don't spend time around horses, you end up making a jackass out of your own self. Houston. "WELL" WHAT?

Where YOU from? New York? 212. You don't have a lot of horses up there, but you gotta lotta JACKASSES UP THERE. That's for sure. You don't look at the 10 inches... You step out there, you get out there and you work. You shovel off that snow, and you turn things AROUND.

I love it. The Buffalo Gals scene when they walk home together is one of my favs in movie history. I might be a quarter gay but what the heck ya know.

The other Christmas movie that has an obvious Jew/landlord/lender (Mr. Barnaby) who is the bad guy, is March of the Wooden Soldiers. If you watch in that context, it's timeless.

I prefer the original ending

 

[Uncle Floyd]

George Bailey was the only thing keeping him from being a dick.

And why is Donna Reed a librarian? She was a hep kitty cat, frolicking with boys in bushes in high school. And, and, and, and now you're telling me she's a mousey school marm?

I'd say because she didn't have a boy she'd "love for her whole life" like she did George Bailey, she never got that pussy to tingle. Not exactly many studs running around after the only other good-looking kid in town drowned in the lake.

But, Nick, I can't even come up with an answer. Maybe he was a swell guy in Bedford Falls but Pottersville turned him into a dick. You try being a happy bartender in a town that became a shithole...

 

[medium wyzzz]

It’s a damn good movie, for sure.

That was George's brother and he saved him, at the cost of his left ear going deaf.

I've heard stories about Detroit, you're very much right.

 

[Dog Eater]

I’ve never seen it. I probably won’t bother.

 

[Dennyislife]

Never seen it and rarely watch Christmas films so I think I will go to my grave never watching it

 

[CQ Beans]

You’re missing out on a heartwarming experience filled with angels, hot librarians and children being smacked in the face over a drug deal gone bad.
