It's A Wonderful Life is on TV
Old Man Potter, I swear, acts like a modern day Right Wing Republican…
He sounds like those rich Romney boosters who had it in for the President. A man who owns 99% of everything, yet grouses over the fact that he can't get his money grubbing hands on that last measly one per cent. Damn, it must suck to be that miserable.

9. I have never liked this movie.
Not a favorite.
I am a a Grinch fan and I always watch 'A Christmas Memory' with Geraldine Page. Truman Capote was very good writing Southern stories. |

2. Did you ever notice...
Before the mistake became president, It's A Wonderful Life would be on television several times in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Several different channels would run it a few times; and, if you wanted, you could watch it a few times before Christmas.
Now, if you even hear that it's going to air, you better watch it that time; because, if you don't, you won't get to see it at all. And they show it on a Saturday night, when fewer people are watching at all. Makes me think there is some message in there, that they don't want anybody to see. And I haven't seen my favorite, The Bells of St. Mary's, in about five years. Great description of Mr. Potter, by the way. |

5. So, an evil corporate conspiracy is hiding the message by...showing the movie?
How utterly diabolical!
Or perhaps they're putting on with a frequency commensurate with the demand for the movie. |

3. Love this movie
Just sitting here crying at the end of the story. I think it's more meaningful now than in the past. Too many would be Potters in our country today.
