Just watched, "A Carol for Another Christmas" on TCM

[xfundy]

This was the first time it's been shown in almost 50 years. WOW. Very anti-war, anti-nuke, and funded by IBM at the time.

Some scenes, especially the idiot crowds, are completely relevant for repigs, invading public meetings and screaming to make sure nothing is accomplished, as well as the "ME" BS they all parrott, at the expense of everyone else in the world, "down yonder, or just across the river."

A different take on "A Christmas Carol," in that it employed the three ghosts.

I doubt any big corporatocracy would dare fund something that would be so confrontational today.

Instead, we must worship the job creators.

1. I love TCM

because they're always doing this, digging up gems that have fallen into obscurity.

I love that they show silent films, also, because some of those are better than any of the talkies that followed. I'm thinking of my two favorite dystopian movies, "The Crowd" and "Metropolis."

I also love that they seem to run "A Face in the Crowd" whenever some right wing gasbag has been particularly obnoxious.

2. In the immortal words of TVTropes

"Some anvils needed to be dropped." Damn good movie.

I messed up the DVR recording.
