My two favorite quotes from this unforgettably beautiful and inspiring movie:

1. Barley: Yes, because I prefer Russia. It's as corrupt as America, but there's less bullshit.

2. Russell: How the fuck do you peddle an arms race when the only asshole you've got to race against is yourself?

Ron Paul COULD very well defeat the Promise-Breaker-In-Chief, and he is the ONLY Republican candidate who could do this. Take a look at ANY of the Republican debates to see that Ron Paul is the only one on the stage who is presidential material. Paul SHOULD be the nominee. Will he be the nomine...

The 'Die Hard' movie rule: If, when TV surfing, a person chances upon 'Die Hard', it is required to watch the movie to its conclusion. What a movie! What a Christmas Movie !!!!

American Commercialism on Steroids. BIGGER AND BETTER ELEPHANTS !!!

Groß, groß, groß

Die Lieb ist übergroß!

Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen

Und muss reisen auf der Straßen.

Groß, groß, groß

Die Lieb' ist übergroß.

Wir, wir, wir,

Tun rufen all zu dir:

Tu uns des Himmels Reich aufschließen,

Wenn wir einmal sterben müssen.

Wir, wir, wir,

Wir rufen all zu dir.

Vorfreude, schönste Freude. Freude im Advent.

Tannengrün zum Kranz gewunden,

rote Bänder dran gebunden,

seht das erste Lichtlein brennt.

Erstes Leuchten im Advent, Freude im Advent.

Vorfreude, schönste Freude. Freude im Advent.

Einigkeit im frühen Dämmern,

Basteln, kleben, sägen, hämmern,...

Music: Franz Xaver Gruber, 1818

Words: Joseph Mohr, 1816/1818

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,

Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,

Hirten erst kundgemacht

Take it back ! You gotta take it back ! The music by Beegie Adair and all-time favorite romantic scenes from the movies ! I can't stand it. This is PRIMA !

THIS is absolutely wonderful. Thank you, sylvette323b, for giving us another treasure from Beegie Adair !

Thank you, Relaxing Feelings for providing me with my favorite jazz pianist, Beegie Adair ! GREAT !

My all time favorite jazz pianist, Beegie Adair. Unbeatable !

@Psycho9263 This sounds a lot like a good description of George W. Bush and his chicken hawk crew .

@groovehard Many thanks to you - and to emilygclarinet and podiumman2 - for spelling out so well reasons why Sibelius is "so great". I sincerely appreciate it.

I will never forgive AMPAS for NOT giving Ned Beatty an Oscar for this one scene!

Change merely one single timing or intonation or word in this performance and it will be the worse for it.

@dick0447 Ich bin mit Ihnen völlig einverstanden ! Wie viele Amerikaner haben irgendwas gegen die Kreiegshetze des Presidenten George W. Bush getan ! Mehr als 42 Attentaten wurden auf Hitler verübt ! Wo waren die Amerikaner ?

Bei jedem Walzerschritt tanzt auch die Seele mit.

Da hüpft das Herzchen klein, es klopft und pocht:

"Sei mein, sei mein!"

Und der Mund, er spricht kein Wort,

doch tönt es fort und immer fort:

"Ich hab dich ja so lieb. Ich hab dich lieb!"

Jeder Druck der Hände deutlich mir's beschrieb

Er sa...

Es dämmert schon, der Tag ist aus,

kein Mädel bleibt da gern zu Haus'.

Sie schlüpft in ihr getupftes Kleid

und ist für ihren Schatz bereit.

Er fragt galant 'Wo willst' denn hin,

was ist denn los, heut' Nacht in Wien?'

Da lächelt sie und sagt ganz still

'Du weisst ja, was ich will...'

[der Kehrvers:]

Kornblumenblau

ist der Himmel am herrrlichen Rheine,

kornblumenblau

sind die Augen der Frauen beim Weine.

Darum trinkt Rheinwein,

Manner seid schlau,

dann seid am Ende auch ihr: kornblumenblau!

There are at least TWO things that will keep 'America' from becoming a decent country deserving of our admiration:

(1) do NOT send George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to prison for life;

(2) do NOT make Alan Grayson the next President of the US.

Wow! So touching! Unforgettable!

Wunderschön ! Ausgezeichnet !

Und auch unglaublich- sooo viel Sound!

Ausgezeichnet ! Wunderschön !

Count me as delusional, too -- I'll vote for Ron Paul. He's the only honestly progressive candidate who has a chance. He's the only viable SANE candidate. Who else CAN I vote for? Barack Obama has proved himself to be a closet Republican of the worst (George Bush!) variety and a lying hypoc...

@TheD435 You MUST take it back ... I can't stand it .... My ribs! I can't breathe ... Pleee ... o0weoio0o0jw

@axelasdf OK, I apologize for (incorrectly as it turns out) mis-aligning you with Mitch McConnell. And I am gratified that you take offense at being thought of as a Republican. Please return me the compliment by NOT thinking me a Democrat. As far as Capitalism vs. Corporatism is concerned: t...

Es lebe Paderewski !

Es lebe Polen !

WO und WANN fand diese Wunder-Aufführung statt ?

Bravo !!!!

Keith Olbermann is the rightful successor of Edward R. Murrow.

George W. Bush is a repulsive lying piece of shit who has deceived and ruined this country!

Wasn't this chosen as background music for a silent movie in which Charlie is the inebriated little tramp?

George Carlin tried to tell us something. But too few were interested in listening to him at all. Transposed to another context: If many were to notice Jesus today, they might just invite him home for dinner -- but only to laugh and make fun of what he had to say. Oh, and do you think that M...

Has Condolleezza Rice been put in prison yet? NOOOO! She has been hired by Stanford University! She is as devoted to the neocon ideology as she is ugly! BUT, as a bathroom monitor for Barbara's Inarticulate Conception, she gets high marks, at least from George W. Bush.

Metropol? Meiner Meinung nach ist es die Waldbuehne in Berlin.

Das ist wahrlich wunderschön!

Und ist das nicht Maestro Eschenbach am Podium?
