Any questions as to why the NYT is going under?
Nuff said.

Just another sign of the times, it had to be written eventually. More to come. Maranatha!

What’s the big deal? A film critique is just one guy’s opinion.

Dear Times:
There's a new movie out about Pinch Sulzberger. When he gets to see what the world would have been like without him, it is a far happier place! In the end, the angel refuses to let him live again, saying, "It's a mitzvah you were never born!"

“Jamisons piece reflects The Times worldview individuals should live primarily for themselves, self-sacrifice is stupid, fast women, gambling and loud music are fun, and life is ultimately meaningless.”
I enjoy Feder, but I don’t agree. THE TIMES would have us all be part of the collective, doing everything for the good of the world.

I have learned some lessons in life and one of them is that people who hate their own lives have an insatiable need to drag others down into their misery. They also tend to expend a great deal of energy "proving" that others are not as happy as they seem to be, or might be. Such people are to be avoided, at all costs. I would begin by refraining from reading the Times.

Diversity. You don’t have to address anything more than that, and you have the real reason why the Times and its ilk hate the holiday classics.
It’s the 1950s white middle class American that these rags are at war with. They claim those classics touch on values that never existed. And I say hogwash.
George Bailey is the quintessential John Doe, the guy who saw a need, recognized a cause, volunteered for the draft and to help out his fellow man out of loyalty to them and the nation.
If the Times and it’s ilk (hate to use the word twice, but what better word to describe their ilk) were only at war with our founding documents and principals, it’s would be bad enough, but it doesn’t stop there.
If you are a moral individual who has even the slightest tinge of respect for our nation, moral values and the golden rule, you’re a world class jackass, chump, and pseudo criminal in their eyes.
I say F M and the horse they rode in on. May these bastards be relegated to a hell in the afterlife that closely resembles the one they would create on this earth, if brighter souls didn’t exist in every nook and cranny of this nation.

liberal Socialists...(spit)...They all go around walking and talking like they are some kind og guild of George Baileys...But if you watch the movie, and see the part when the town exists *without* Geo. Bailey...You see a town where libperv values and the things that the plague rat ACLU, fight, tooth and nail to achieve.
DemoLib Socialists are the ones who want the godless, souless socialist, dog eat dog, loneliness, of a nation of Pottervilles....in the name of “civil” & “individual rights”.

Jamisons piece reflects The Times worldview individuals should live primarily for themselves, self-sacrifice is stupid, fast women, gambling and loud music are fun, and life is ultimately meaningless. Casey Anthony would heartily concur.

He's kind of all over the map in his assessment of It's A Wonderful Life.
It's hard to understand what he's really trying to say.
The story is still one of my favorites.

Spending ones life in a bathhouse is indeed a Pitiful and Dreadful Life.

I like the movie, but in light of the recent real estate boom and banking bust I've become more of a fan of Mr. Potter's careful lending practices. :-).
The end needs to be updated. When they are reading the telegram near the end of the movie:
Mr. Gower cabled you need cash. Stop. My office instructed to advance you up to twenty-five billion dollars. Stop.
Hee-haw and Merry Christmas.
Ben Bernanke.

Sort of a digression, but this reminds me of a Hollywood type years ago reviewing the old TV show,
L.A. Law. She said, "People love the characters in the show because they are so sophisticated, they have affairs."
I think we've all gotten that message from la la land, that you really haven't experienced life until you've taken a walk on the wild side.
A friend of mine says, "It's the work of the devil" And you know what? I haven't a better answer.
