Yeah, when I think of It's a Wonderful Life, the first thing I think of is not "romance." Nor the second or third thing.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Unless they're shipping Jimmy Stewart's character and Clarence the Angel.
Which now sounds like a really weird episode of Supernatural.

I share your squee.
Please let them make it. Please let them not fuck it up.
I loved the linked movie universes. They don't have to reinvent the wheel with each group of characters--unless you're dealing with mutants.
BTW, finally saw 12 Years a Slave. Magnificent movie. Hope it wins loads more awards. Never want to see it again. The two worst scenes are seared in my brain anyway, so unless there's an onset of senility, I won't be forgetting the movie anytime soon.
I highly recommend it. And it is more than a spinach movie because the acting is magnificent. But ohohoh the buttons it may push - some you might not have known you had.
I saw "The LEGO Movie" today. And now I'll be singing THAT SONG for days.
But it was hella fun. I suspect I missed a lot of jokes because there was so much going on screen at all times.
