[bluestreak]

i hate it's a wonderful life.

i really really hate it.

it's the most bullshit piece of moralising going that offers nothing to anyone outside of the situation. i watched it once during a depressive episode because someone thought it would cheer up and it sank me into a perosnal failure spin out for weeks realising that, should i eer be in that situation my own person list of achievements would start and finish at not dropping litter.

don't kill yerself blue, you're a nice feller really, you never drop litter.

cheers angel. well, my life is worth living now, whoop de do.

jesus i hate that film. i mean, i hate it so fucking much. i hate the way everyone thinks it's so fucking right.... jesus, whoever made it had the same grasp of depression and how it works as i ahve of astro-physics. i reckon that film is responsible for more suicides than it ever saved.

 

[bluestreak]

oh, and i hate the karate kid too.

 

[sojourner]

So, you're not terribly keen on it bluestreak?

 

[bluestreak]

no more than a 2/5.

 

[maya]

(edit: weird stoned rant moment)

 

[The Groke]

Karate Kid.

Both are shit, but if I was forced to watch one of them, it would be that.

 

[JTG]

Clearly it's It's a Wonderful Life

The only film that has ever made me cry and it regularly does, every Christmas Eve when I watch it while everyone's out at church.

I love it

disclaimer: all my other favourite films involve differing combinations war, guns, explosions, aliens, spaceships, drugs, vampires and zombies

Karate Kid. I'd prefer to get my uplifting message from Mr. Miyagi, as opposed to Jimmy Stewart. The message is more inscruitably oriental, and therefore better.

 

[Ms T]

It's A Wonderful Life always makes me cry - it's schmaltzy but fab. I've seen it loads of times.

I have seen the Karate Kid, but I can't remember much about it.

So IAWL all the way.
