I DVRed it and I am currently watching it.

Question: When young George realized his boss put poison in the capsules, why didn't he just tell him then and there. The old man was drunk cuz of his kid's death. Why did George have to run to his dad? Now, he eventually confronted his boss cuz his dad sent him away, but why not right away?

Did the old man intentionally try to poison the capsules cuz he was distraught? Or was he just drunk and didn't realize what he was doing? Was it only when the kid confronted him that he came to his senses? I tend not to think this was the case cuz the old man tasted the poison. Which would lead you to believe it wasn't intentional. Cuz why taste it if you knew what you were doing.

He didn't know what he was doing.
Back then you didn't question your elders, that why he didn't know what to do and went to ask his dad.

No Man is A Failure Who Has Had Drinks Thrown In Their Face - Clarence.

Ok. That's kind of what I thought.

I just thought maybe the old man was pissed at the world and wanted to be evil.

Dude didn't you see how grateful he was when he finally realized what George was telling him?
Hell, he bought him that big ass suitcase!

The overall idea is...and George tells him this...that he didn't believe that Gower was trying to kill anyone. He just didn't know. It set up the fact that George was always about doing the right thing, like saving his brother, and saving the Building and Loan, and trying to be there for his family. His lapse at the end of wanting to end it all is just a manifestation of all of the things that built up inside him. Clarence's job, kinda like Jacob Marley's, was to show George what his life was worth.

He bought him the suit case when he was older.

I kind of thought about it your way. I was just leaving out the possibility that he was angry about his kid being dead, went evil, and only snapped back when young George confronted him. That's all.

this is why you have emotional problems, beardown...

The reason I say this is because the god damn bottle said POISON.

Even if you're drunk, you can see that.

No. Not cuz of this. Other reasons, maybe.

he thought it said POTION, obviously! who wouldn't want that? you? anyone?!

He didn't confront him because he could see the old man was agitated and had already acted aggressively towards him just for answering simple questions. Your other question is just silly.

Here is my Christmas movie question: In A Christmas Carol, there is a scene where the ghost of Christmas past returns Scrooge to his childhood school. Apparently it is a boarding school and Scrooge is to remain there over Christmas break. However, his sister comes to him and states that their father is a changed man, will now let Scrooge come home and is going to set him up with an apprenticeship.

What changed Scrooge's father's entire demeanor so quickly? Could he too, have been visited by spirits in order to change what appears to be his harsh ways? If so, does the story take on a much more diabolical feel with ghosts tormenting the family and its members for generations? Are they males of the bloodline cursed ending with Scrooge, who had no children?

Tormenting? The Scrooges were dicks. The ghosts were just setting their asses straight. BTW, the bloodline lives on through Fred aka Donald Duck, even if the name doesn't.

No gin tonight, son.

Questionable...I understand he has scrooge genes but I'll be buried in a cold grave before I recognize succession through a female child

That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

No, Harry.

Boys and girls and music. Why do they need gin?

The best is when Harry strikes that pugilistic pose after George starts giving him the business by the train. Harry was a feisty motherfucker!
