This is a strange optical illusion sculpture. The baby's foot is on the bottom of the frame so the frame should be tilted back on an angle for the mother's head to be properly aligned. The sides of the frame have the wrong perspective with the right side totally off alignment. Plus the baby's head looks smooshed. Or am I totally wrong and just having a bad day?
I love Betty White. She and my mom were really close in age. My mom passed away last year at 99 the day before my birthday. I think she would still be here if her cat hadn't died a few weeks before she did. She always said she wanted the cat to go first. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETTY!!!
Oh, man, I can't believe a car commercial made me cry. Nice car, BTW. Wish they would make that car again for the general population to buy. I think I would buy it, it just looks like a perfect convertible car.
*crash!* He's alright. He's all right! Just a tidbit about Uncle Billy leaving the Bailey house after celebrating Goerge's kid brother's marriage. Uncle Billy heads off home and we can all hear a crash. Some off screen tech dropped something and 'Uncle Bily' saved the scene by ad libbing "I'm alright. I'm alright!" Capra loved it so he kept it in the movie.
European children must have been sheer hellions for adults to invent a story about demons coming out around Christmas time to steal, beat and maybe even eat 'bad' children.
I love this movie. I have a small list of must see Xmas movies that I watch every year. Each one evokes certain emotions or memories or happenings that I can relate to and find value in. The importance of this movie cannot be overstated in the political sense of greed trying and quite often winning by creeping through one's daily life, making the corruption almost invisible and unnoticed but always present. The kindness of the people in the town makes me long for my younger days when I grew up in a town similar to Bedford Falls, primarily with the friendliness of neighbors and strangers. Kids called adults by their first names and the village did indeed take part in raising all of us kids. I believe that this movie is a gentle reminder for us all to try to be kind and take time to look outside and beyond our own personal bubbles. It can be a wonderful life and if one makes the effort it will be.
Thanks for the kind words. Are you really from Maine? It's one of my favorite states. I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Please stay healthy and safe, too.
OMG! I think that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. Thank you. It means a lot since I just got out of the hospital this morning. I hope all of you at Neatorama have a truly blessed holiday season and may 2022 be so much better for us all.
Those pesky weasels! Every time you turn around they're in your toilet bowl or cereal box eating all the marshmallows and high fiber flakes. Wait! Maybe that's why they end up in our toilets? People want to know...
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETTY!!!
