It’s a Wonderful…Friendship
Christmas and It’s a Wonderful Life go together like America and apple pie. Now add in a friendly bond that spans 7-decades and your understanding of the holiday spirit may very well be redefined in a great way.
It’s a Wonderful Life has its ideal combination of rough moments and endearing moments, which is a magical formula in Hollywood and in real life. Maybe this is why the black and white film is so beloved seventy years after its theatrical release in the era of Blu-ray? This film, a favorite among many for countless different reasons, proves that new isn’t always better and that we must remember that the past is not always so distant.
That sentiment is certainly the case with the children from It’s a Wonderful Life. A recent sit-down on the Today Show illustrates and confirms one of our hopes with any movie: That the cast really did get along and that there was/is a special bond between the actors and actresses.
Listen carefully for any bells ringing…
Merry Christmas!
The Future Guardians of the Box Office?
“The trailer becomes Marvel’s biggest teaser ever and is the second-most-watched trailer of any kind after ‘Captain America: Civil War.'”
(The Hollywood Reporter)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 recently debuted its teaser trailer and it’s safe to say that fans have reacted quite positively to this sneak peak.
“The trailer was viewed 81 million times online in 24 hours.”
(The Hollywood Reporter)
With this kind of surreal fanfare for the new sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps the best thing to do is watch this online and pop culture phenomenon.
This superhero movie (and Baby Groot) looks like a hoot.
We’re All McCallisters at the Airport
It doesn’t seem to matter how early we (meaning people in general) arrive at the airport, we always cut it close enough to the point where we just might not make our flight.
Vacations/business trips aren’t just reserved for summer or the holidays anymore. The reason for mentioning this now is that the time right before and between Thanksgiving and Christmas (and New Years) is one of the prime periods of the year when airports are full with travelers making their way to their destinations. It’s a happy sight.
And, yes, there’s also the occasional chaotic scene that rushes through the terminal faster than a speeding train. If you find yourself at an airport in the near future and you need to hustle to catch your flight, just remember to run to Chuck Berry’s, “Run Run Rudolph.”
It helps.
We’ve all been there.
