A holiday tradition for us is to see this classic in a theater. Can't wait.

I know, I know. NERD. :eek:
 
It's a great movie, although my favorite at Christmas is The Bishop's Wife. However, you need to understand that Mr. Potter is the enemy of "political correctness" and has the phone number of your favorite POTUS on speed-dial. George Bailey, an obvious "snowflake" cares about the poor and people who need help to lead lives with dignity. Are you sure you want to watch that movie again?

I see a like above from Mr. Potter. With the movie today, I was thinking of you and your brother (-in-law?). I hope you both are well. Wishing you both the best for the holidays and the New Year.
 
Ever see the SNL skit about the alternate ending ?
Everybody beats the snot out of Mr. Potter.

Never saw that. I’ll have to look it up.

The theater showed the standard ending. ;). Beating the crap out of Mr. Potter would have been an acceptable ending, though.
 
I was in Montclair yesterday. Nice downtown-Ish area. Not much parking though. Some nice older homes. I can only imagine what the taxes are like though.

There is a big parking garage not far from Bloomfield Avenue and in the center of the shopping. Yes, nice town.
 
So, seriously, you've never asked yourself if you turned left instead of right how life would be different?

If you never went to Penn State? Or never married your wife?

Movies are made about stuff like this. Sliding Doors, just off the top of my head.

OFF TOPIC... be happy you lived when you did. I know I am.

You're moving the goalposts. Your original post here said that you often wondered what life would be like if you'd never existed. That's different than asking what my life would be like if I had zigged instead of zagged the way I did. Everyone does that, I'm sure. But, what the hell, one thing is just as pointless as the other.

No. Surprised that you asked the question.

I've had influential people in my life and have wondered how different things would be if we never met. When I bought my first BB magazine was Feb 1981. Collector edition with Arnold winning the 80 Olympia. Changed my life. I oftened wondered how my life would be if Arnold never lived.

And, I wondered how others lives would be different if I never lived.

That is the one thing I didn't like about the movie - one of my favorites BTW. Potter got away with thievery. I think they should have remade it and had Arnold S. (I know I would misspell his last name) play George Bailey and hang him over a cliff by his ankles.

Awesome! My wife and I saw White Christmas today in an old movie theater in York PA. It was very cool to see such a classic movie in an old school theater.
