This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

Last Monday, I saw Paul McCartney play Got to Get You into My Life in front of my face. Last night, the Beatles tribute band also played Got to Get You into My Life. I'm taking it as a sign. Of what? That's for me to know.

I'll never be done talking about how Rebel without a Cause is my favorite film of all time. Please. If you ever have an earnest need for an expert in Rebel without a Cause (for reasons other "Why is this movie considered a classic when I, personally, don't like it?!"), let it be me.

I like how I logged myself out of this platform for the past four months and was too "meh" to log myself back in. Nice work.

I think the only times I have ever cried watching things are the end of Running on Empty (so intense) and when Johnny gets Cobra Kai back SPECIFICALLY so Miguel can fight in the world championship. I would be lying if I said I wasn't crying a little remembering the latter one now.

One thing about me is that I will always find a way to discuss about Happy Days in whatever article or book chapter I'm writing. Another thing about me is that my points about Happy Days will almost always hit the cutting room floor. Wonder what will happen this time.

Updates: The actual worst part about living in the South is KNOWING there's a stinkbug in your home (because they're so loud) but not being able to SEE it.

Living in the South is horrible. And by that, I mean you'll be working in your living room like a normal person, and then, you'll hear this ridiculously loud CLANG on your wall because stinkbugs land like iron. What is WRONG with them?
