It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown ! "There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin."


Fall is filled with some of our favorite annual rituals, like apple picking, pumpkin decorating, and leaf peeping. But no autumn is complete without the most sacred of traditions: a viewing of It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

 While the film's 50th anniversary celebration was two years ago, you can still throw a viewing party with these surprising fun facts about the film and by reliving the movie's best quotes. 

Lucy Van Pelt: "A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality."

Linus: "You've heard of the fury of a woman scorned, haven't you?"
Charlie Brown: "Yeah, I guess I have."
Linus: "Well, that's nothing compared to a woman who has been cheated out of tricks-or-treats."

Linus: "Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see."
Lucy: "All you have to do is walk up to a house, ring the doorbell, and say 'tricks or treats.'"
Sally: "Are you sure it's legal?"
Lucy: "Of course it's legal."
Sally: "I wouldn't want to be accused of taking part in a rumble."

Linus: "You don't believe the story of the Great Pumpkin? I thought little girls always believed everything that was told to them. I thought little girls were innocent and trusting."
Sally: "Welcome to the 20th Century!"

Linus: "There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin."

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
