Avatar. Thought it was Most wonderful.
If anyone begs to differ, I will elaborate on my opinion, but until then, I really liked it.

I watched A Muppets Christmas Carol in the cinema the other night. I'd forgotten just what a wonderful film it really is, and Michael Caine IS the best Scrooge!

Yesterday I watched the first three hours of The Ten Commandments on C4. I thought it was fantastic. It's been a very long time since anything has been done on that scale in terms of visuals... Who else misses the old days of Hollywood before Lucas took over? A true Epic if ever there was one.

I had to leave before I got a chance to see the last hour of the film though, as I needed to get some quite urgent Christmas shopping done, so I'll be needing to buy The Ten Commandments on DVD to see what happens in that last hour.

i kind of feel if people don't like it they just have something to prove.

Gremlins. I really could not care less about the guys personal life, SHOW THE GODDAMN GREMLINS ALREADY. Still, one of the best christmas films ever.

As far as I am concerned, Gremlins 2 did not happen. It was shit.

I had seriously forgotten how brilliant AMCC was. I'm a miserable git most of the time, so Christmas spirit is a topic close to my heart. I almost cried at 'It Feels Like Christmas' and when you see Tiny Tim's vacant crutch. Michael Caine was a brilliant Scrooge, when he sings 'Thankful Heart' at the end I felt like I'd just been hugged. And I suspect that if 'Marley and Marley' was not sung by two grumpy puppets that represent me and MA I would have been quite disturbed. I mean, look at the lyrics:
:

We're Marley and Marley,
Our hearts were painted black.
We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles.
Captive, bound, we're double-ironed,
Exhausted by the wait.
As freedom comes from giving love,
A prison comes with hate.

Doomed, Scrooge!
You're doomed for all time.
Your future is a horror story, written by your crime.
Your chains are forged,
By what you say and do,
So have your fun,
When life is done, a nightmare waits for you.

W&S highlights included:

Fozzie: At this time it's customary for me to make a little speech.
Statler: Yeah - And it's customary for us to take a little nap! DOOOH-HOHOHO!
Fozzie: "Thank you all for coming. Merry Christmas."
Waldorf: That was the speech?
Statler: It was dumb!
Waldorf: It was obvious!
Statler: It was pointless!
Wladorf: It was... short.
Waldorf and Statler: I loved it! DOOOH-HOHOHO!

Statler: In life, we were your partners, Jacob...
Waldorf: And Robert Marley.
Scrooge: It looks like you. but I don't believe it!
Statler: Why do you doubt your senses?
Scrooge: Because a little thing can affect them. A slight disorder of the stomach can make them cheat. You may be a bit of undigested beef, a blob of mustard, a crumb of cheese. Yes, there's more of gravy than of grave about you!
Waldorf: More of gravy than of grave? DOOOH-HOHOHO!
Statler: What a terrible pun!
Waldorf: Where do you get those jokes?
Statler: Leave comedy to the bears, Ebenezer.
Scrooge: Please, Jacob, Robert, don't criticize me! You always criticize me!
Waldorf: We were always heckling you!
Statler: Ah, It's good to be heckling again.
Waldorf: It's good to be doing anything again! DOOOH-HOHOHO!

I looooved Gremlins 2. It was so fucking stupid that it was good.

Disgruntled Intern 12-22-2009 07:55 AM

Agreed. this guy has to be one of my absolute favorite toys in my collection. Although the gargoyle gremlin was pretty amazing as well. And the produce gremlin. And gizmo's dance sequence. Oh boy, time to dig out the ole' VHS copy.

OANST 12-22-2009 07:59 AM

I loved him. I was pissed that he died with all the others. They should have made a Gremlins 3, with him trying to get revenge or some such shit.

Disgruntled Intern 12-22-2009 08:02 AM

Hang on. I have something you might like.


OANST 12-22-2009 08:13 AM

Okay. That was awesome.

MeechMunchie 12-22-2009 08:41 AM

He even has a chin like a Gremlin.

Kung-Fu Panda

Just watched it for the first time. Like Wall-E it wasn't what I originaly expected. The story was less childish then I thought it was going to be.

enchilado 12-22-2009 02:36 PM

THE LEGENDARY KUNG-FU PANDA IS A LEGENDARY FILM, THE OPENING SEQUENCE IS THE STUFF OF LEGEND

Hobo 12-22-2009 04:23 PM

I have recorded Muppets. Which I still stand by as the best Christmas film ever. Yes.

Disgruntled Intern 12-22-2009 06:34 PM

District 9 again. Brought it to my moms house. It made her cry a bit. She really liked the prawns.

OddjobAbe 12-23-2009 01:20 AM

My nephew's been watching his Christmas Sooty tape over and over recently. I do not object to this.

Taco 12-23-2009 01:41 AM

I finally got around to seeing Avatar. I'm not gonna be an internet superhero critic so I'll just say this: worth watching

shaman 12-23-2009 08:23 AM

Chicago.

Awesome film.

Mac Sirloin 12-23-2009 10:27 AM

I watched Kung Pow: Enter the fist with one of my sisters while I was high. This has become a sort of tradition.

It wasn't as funny as the last time I watched it and eventually I just fell asleep.

Disgruntled Intern 12-23-2009 11:43 AM

The idea of you smoking pot bothers me a great deal, young man.

~Oprilthevykker~ 12-23-2009 11:45 AM

District 9.. It was an "ok" movie, had slig looking doohicky's in it.

OANST 12-23-2009 11:47 AM

One of them looked like ACKRO. I think it's name was ACKRO. ACKRO THE SLIG.

~Oprilthevykker~ 12-23-2009 11:50 AM

One looked like your momma too, but much more attractive.

MA 12-23-2009 11:52 AM

OANST 12-23-2009 11:52 AM

He is Ackro, slowpoke.

MA 12-23-2009 11:54 AM

OANST 12-23-2009 11:55 AM

Not joking. Definitely Ackro.

MA 12-23-2009 11:56 AM

Disgruntled Intern 12-23-2009 12:27 PM
