Now, normally, Liz is all over this sucker like the feds on my wallet, but I couldn’t help but throw in my own on this one.
This year is special, you see–it’s the twenty-fifth anniversary of a fantastic Christmas movie release called A Christmas Story, and every year I watch it it just keeps getting better.

Drawn from the almost-forgotten tradition of telling ghost stories around the Yule Log, Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol is a story that you just can’t have Christmas without. And what better way to enjoy it than with muppets?
And Michael Caine?

So I was having Thanksgiving dinner with the folks and grandma and my aunt, and it’s a staple to watch the big dog show. Naturally I was rooting for what I considered to be the underdog at the time, the bassett hound, who I believed deserved a little extra cheering by dint of the fact that he was an ugly little son of a bitch (literally!) but still roamed that floor like he couldn’t be happier to be there.
Every step that dog took was followed by a cavalcade of tail wagging. And I mean EVERYWHERE.

We’ve seen it with Twilight, and with most of the studios’ planned releases for the next three months or more–it’s sequels and remakes until things get better, and everything else can go hang.
But the recent and shocking success of Slumdog Millionaire in theatres is putting a bit of a wrench in that operation, and with very good reason–it’s a good, original movie that people want to see.

You’ve truly got to love Monty Python–all the egomania of Metallica with the same sense of charity as dear old Mother Teresa herself condensed into one big package of funny.
Apparently, all you YouTubers out there, of which I am one, have been ripping off the Monty Python boys for years by posting clips of their best jokes to YouTube without their consent or permission.

You know…I wish I could find more stuff like this.
I was checking my email when Matt of Kwanzoo fame (oh, yeah, and that whole Three Panel Soul / Mac Hall bit too) drops me an email telling me all about Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film-related fracas and I can’t help but take notice.

The double standard against sex and for violence in the United States, as if you needed any further confirmation, is alive and well.
Or, as they put it in the South Park movie, graphic deplorable violence is okay as long as nobody says any bad words.

Shhhh…this is a huge secret, okay? I only found this out through my incredibly mad journalistic skills, and thus, I’m bringing it all to you.
I managed to find Hollywood’s plan to overcome the huge crippling economic downturn that’s even managing to affect stuff like Netflix. Ready? Here it comes–

It’s Halloween, Kwanzoo style.
It’s hard to remember a time when the “Scary Movie” franchise used to be a positive thing. But back when the 
Wayans were actually involved, hey - they were kinda funny. This is a salute to the one that started it all, “Scary Movie.”
Taking its name from one of “Scream’s” working titles, “Scary Movie” parodies the parody, along with some serious movies like The Sixth Sense, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project. Mostly, though, it lampoons all the horror clichés that “Scream” already covered, but that people never get tired of. I think it was a little on-the-nose to actually use the “Scream” mask, though.
