Christmas Movie Marathon 2009!!
18.50 GMT
So, a rather unofficial Saturday Night Thread, but I’m doing a movie marathon tonight and thought I’d try to blog throughout it as the night progresses. Wine, gift wrap and chocolate to be had. Feel free to drop a comment and join in.
19.00 GMT
Garfield Christmas Special
19.20 GMT
Garfield found the meaning of Christmas! Yay, Garfield! I seem to remember it being longer than 15 minutes or whatever, think I romanticised the Christmas special in to a magical extravaganza and not just Garfield’s Deliverance Family Reunion (with snow).
Gonna go make popcorn and decide what’s next!
So, there’s another confession I need to make. I’ve never really had the chance to watch any Rankin Bass animated movies, so I guess tonight is a chance to fix that!
19.30 GMT
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
20.30 GMT
Huzzah for Rudolph. Who knew that a parasitic infection in the nasal passages leading to inflammation would prove so much benefit, and fair play to a guy with the nasal equivalent of crabs or tapeworm to get a girl. Though male reindeers are meant to lose their antlers during winter, does keep theirs, so what does that say about the relationship?
Anyway, half hour til a Criminal Minds double feature…so, I’m gonna drink and gift wrap, be back after psychopaths!!
23.00 GMT
And we’re back!!
23.05 GMT
The Year Without Santa
23.50 GMT
Good old Jingle and Jangle. Realising that I’m going to have to do a few more marathons before Christmas and, so unfortunate, consume more alcohol. Gonna find one more film to watch and finish off second bottle of wine. Got a lot wrapped tonight, which is nice.
00.10 GMT
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
02.15 GMT
Waiting for Matt at X-Entertainment to post the Saturday Night Thread. I’ve got a quilt laid out on the new sofa, lights off except the tree, pj’s on, a big mug of Aero hot choc, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and A Christmas Story a-waiting. I’ve never seen A Christmas Story, so this is Kind Of A Big Deal.

“Let’s see if Binky can save Christmas again this year…”
C’mon, who wouldn’t want to force their dad to re-read the same christmas story every year for generations, especially just to tease about it?

Hey, it’s Stan the Talking Snowman. Not creepy at all!

Not only does his nose glow, but it also gives a warning noise each time. Also, Rudolph’s dad is a total dick, and Santa isn’t so great – it better clear up or you won’t be able to join my team.

OMG, Hermey’s voice is freaky as hell…totally not the voice expected with the hair. And what the hell is Donner on about with the self-respect lecture when forcing his boy to wear a fake nose?!

…Santa’s Aryan Midget Army. Genetic difference is frowned upon, notice how the elf with a little height and non-perfect eyesight is bagged and tagged.

Comet: “My job is to make buck’s out of you”
We’ve all had a teacher like that, haven’t we. Usually the police get involved.

Hermey and Rudolph are independent together! Yay!
“Not if you don’t mind me being a…dentist”, boy, that’s the least of your problems!

Weeeeee’re on the island of misfit toys.
Why doesn’t Charlie in the Box change his name by deed poll. Surely that’s not too hard. A jam shooting water pistol is freaking cool. What’s with the penguin hate, huh, swimming bird?!

Heat Miser and Snow Miser fighting in the sky, the mid-point must be above the UK where the only weather is rain…Moist Miser rules, Mr Grey Christmas

Heat Miser…not even likeable. No enthusiasm.

Mother Nature has a kick ass pad, but honestly those sons are so stuck to the apron strings. No kidding, a therapist would have a field day.

…so basically Santa is a hyperchondriac attention whore who’ll use emotional blackmail to gain validation?

Does anyone else watch the Christmas family gathering and wonder how many of the Arbuckles have ever said “Imma make you squeal like a pig-ah”?
