Well there is a car crash in "it's a wonderful life". He hits a tree
remember. In the new version he would knock over the tree which would fall
on the guy's house which would explode due the naturally dangerous nature of
snow-covered tar shingles. And as for throwing a rock at the glass in the
old house, well only a rocket-propelled grenade would suffice. They would be
conveniently hanging from lamposts all over town, just in case of pressing
need.
If you want films made for adults check out www.ex-centris.com and read the
program. It's the most amazing digital cinema complex that runs interesting
films from all over the world. My bosses pet project and head office.
Amazingly it has almost three times the attendance rate of a standard
block-buster cinemaplex. No food in the theatres though, so no sticky floors
and cow-like munching noises all around you in the dark.

Hollywood has lost the talent for making movies with humor, or drama-
everything has to have explosions, sex, and some damn rap theme song, to
attract the barely post pubescent crowd which is currently the target
audience. Some of the major reasons I really don't bother to make the effort
to go to the movie theater very often. I'd bet these bozos would find a way
to add explosions and vehicular carnage to a remake of "It's A Wonderful
Life" with, perhaps Justin Timberlake in the Jimmy Stewart role, and Tom
Arnold as "Clarence" the guardian angel... They just don't make movies for
adults anymore. (And I don't mean "adult movies" either. Give me any of the
true greats from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, even early 70s...)
