No More "Modern Times"

I'm sad to say that, as far as I can tell, "Modern Times" is no longer
available on Google Video.

But I did see "It's a Wonderful Life" there in its entirety, so you can
watch that instead. :)

Better to see it there then the butchered version shown on NBC! If
you'll notice carefully, NBC has made tiny edits within shots (!) to
speed up the film, hence giving more time for commercials and padding
the film out to a whopping 3 hours. The whole rhythm of Capra's
version is destroyed, but at least the network is making $$$.

I liked IAWL better when it was a PD film that--with careful use of the
remote--you could watch three or four times a day throughout December!
