One thing my father and my sister always point out is that the movie doesn't really make George look like that great of a guy. He's a serious jerk in several scenes.

Watch the scene with his mother in the alternate reality again. Wow, not having George turned her into a cold-stone beeyotch!

How about using spoiler tags for those of us who have not yet seen the movie.

Not like I'm gonna have this page open to spoil things while I'm watching!

And it isn't like I don't know what the film is about. I just haven't sat through it yet.

Sorry!

As Bud points out, I figured that every/anyone was already familiar with the basic premise of the whole thing since it's been co-opted by every television show ever since.

Kinda like how Darth Vader being Luke's father is now common knowledge.

My buddy yelling, "I can't believe Darth Vader is C-3PO's father!" as we left opening night at Phantom Menace was classic. The lobby laughed!

That's actually true, and I've never realized it before right now.

Huh.

Huh.

That was another part of the "Little Annie" storyline I found annoying.

Threepio should have just stayed a generic, assembly-line robot.

Indeed.

But, "Little Annie" is just another thing that I'm only realizing today.

How many other Star Wars Duh-Haven moments can ya'll come up with?

Carrie Fisher had a nice set of thermal detonators.

Yup, the guy is far from a saint. But that makes him all the more appealing as a human. Jerk or no, he usually does the right thing.

My biggest issue with him is the amount of self-pity and blaming others he indulges in. That's a big part of the point I guess.

Lets Harry take job. Can't go to college.

Uses Honeymoon money to avoid bank run. Never leaves Bedford Falls.

Takes over Building and Loan so Potter can't. Never leaves.

I could go on. All the while he has Potter specifically targeting him. Plenty of justifiable blame there. I don't think he blames Harry, his father, or Mary. But fate and Potter sure like to kick George in the ass fairly hard. I certainly can't fault George for looking at the circumstances of his existence and thinking he can't catch a break. But, like you said, that's part of the point, or he'd never make it to the bridge, now, would he?
