A wonderful life
Today I was going to write about It's a Wonderful Life -- my favorite movie of all time -- and how the sentiment behind that movie is the only thing that keeps me from becoming untethered some days.
But instead I'll just leave you with this quote from "Wonderful? Sorry, George, It's a Pitiful, Dreadful Life" in today's New York Times:
Not only is Pottersville cooler and more fun than Bedford Falls, it also would have had a much, much stronger future. Think about it: In one scene George helps bring manufacturing to Bedford Falls. But since the era of “It’s a Wonderful Life” manufacturing in upstate New York has suffered terribly.
On the other hand, Pottersville, with its nightclubs and gambling halls, would almost certainly be in much better financial shape today. It might well be thriving.
If only we had passed Issue 6.
