We thought Dick Cheney was just trying to get attention 12-year-old-girl style at the inauguration today. But it seems he was doing his best Mr. Potter, instead. That scowl! (Uncle Billy was played by George W.)

If you watch the Best Movie Ever this holiday season and are left with a twinge of regret that mean old Mr. Potter never got what was coming to him, Saturday Night Live had the answer twenty years ago, and Hulu has it now:

Are there It’s A Wonderful Life geeks? Because if so, I am one. There’s just one problem: “Clarence at the bank said…” Clarence doesn’t work at the bank, Clarence is the angel who got his wings because of George. Silly SNL. (Via Claire Zulkey.)

But Where Are Zuzu’s Jesus-Petals?

It’s It’s A Wonderful Life season, so here’s a clip from Second Glance, a Christian movie which was, exactly, “It’s A Wonderful Life But Instead Of Never Having Been Born, The Main Character Was Born But Never Prayed,” and also it’s shitty, and also it doesn’t make sense:

The real Clarence wasn’t SMUG! And if only the boy had prayed, his mother would remember who his sister Jenny, her daughter, was? I know there’s a trend in Christian entertainment where they’re making their own stuff now instead of bad Christian versions of popular secular things, but I hope they never never ever stop. (Thanks for the tip, Randi!)
