Holiday movies
- Thread starter Indiana
- Start date
Nope, Looney Tunes Golden Collection, released in lots of 4 DVD's per year for 6 years, starting back in 2003.
On Showcase right now, Saturday Night Live! - Holiday themed sketches. I remember a very young Norm McDonald introducing Adam Sandler on guitar singing "Happy Hannukah!"
Weird seeing the Eaton center from back then , also the old Toronto landmarks .
I watch this every year - my favourite sketch from the collection:
"First, the sex – we go with that; second, the money. No! We go with the power second, then the money, and then the kids. Oh, wait, oh geez! I forgot about revenge against my enemies! Okay.. revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in Hell! That would be the fourth wish! And of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of peace and harmony."
Pure gold.

Fatman
Chris is een losgeslagen, onorthodoxe kerstman die zijn populariteit gestaag ziet dalen. Billy, een 12-jarig jochie, ontdekt dat de kerstman bij hem een brok steenkool in zijn kerstkous heeft gestopt. Vervolgens huurt hij een huurmoordenaar, Skinny Man genaamd, in om de kerstman te vermoorden.

Yes I am referring to the salacious themes. Although that has been around for ages but probably the first film to put it out there in "A" movies.
Nice guys meets women, tries to win her, she doesn't see it nice guy likes her, but she looks in the different direction ( cheats) and he lets her go. Then she comes back.
A Cinderella story.
I bet this movie made FWB / NSA more prevalent than what it used to be in life. Hence why I learned that in this time of era or decade the Cuckoo syndrome increased by 20 %.
John Candy was in it to provide comic relief. He spent most of the film trying to get into Gail Dahms panties. Gail Dahms is unknown today, she was quite famous in the 80's as the Turtles girl (Mmmmm I love Turtles).
They've gone big on diversity in the last couple of years ie. gay couples (both men and women) falling in love, lot's of Asian and Black characters, owners of Chinese and Mexican restaurants in trouble and finding salvation in the Christmas season. Plus they've gone overseas to the UK, Norway, Germany etc. I'm replying on behalf of a "friend". I never watch the series.
But seriously, the formula is cute. It's interesting to see them stretch the plots and they help me sleep at night. And every once and a while, I discover a new hottie in the leading role...as well as a number of recycled Hollywood "stars", eg. Teri Hatcher, Lindsday Wagner, Beth Broderick, Mailu Henner, etc. who used to rub me the right way 30-40 years ago.
Gotta give a shout out to "Violent Night", had me laughing all the way through. Moves in to my top five:.
Shows how dumb the Hollywood adjudicators can be, Die Hard was nearly scrapped. They considered it an impending bomb, no way a film featuring a TV Star and a London West End actor could work. It worked magnificently, Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman had perfect chemistry, the film made boatloads of money on audiences repeating the theater experience. The film grossed 140 million, top three for 1988. Rickman talked about the Nakatomi experience, that's real terror on his face. He had to put his faith in the stunt co-ordinators knowing what they were doing...so that he wouldn't look like a burst tomato can at the end of the scene.
