I'm not going to complain in this post. Though I do have something to complain about that will no doubt appear shortly. This is all about the majesty of Christmas!
I love Christmas, I really do! It's my favorite time of year. It gets colder outside, everyone seems to be in a better mood (or maybe just me?)...My favorite movies come on TV, the music is great, I get to go out and buy presents for a bunch of people. I just love it, truly. I also have a birthday, but meh...I'm not even really celebrating that this year outside of a little get together with some coworkers.
I want to focus on one part of Christmas in this posting and that's the movies. I love them. ALL of them. The great ones, the terrible ones, everything!
My very favorite is a made for TV movie from the early 80s called "The Night They Saved Christmas." Art Carney stars as Santa. It's just perfect. It takes place in the arctic circle, a company is dynamiting for oil but soon learn their dynamiting is KILLING THE NORTH POLL! OH NO! So Santa and his elves befriend a family whose father works for the company to convince them to STOP IT!
Did I mention Santa hates Jingle Bells?
Oh it's so great. There's also the Santa Clause pictures, of which I've seen all three in theaters. You should at least watch the first two. :)
Then there's the bad movies...This weekend I watched Santa With Muscles. Starring Hulk Hogan. WOW.
Look at those muscles!I mean, really, is there anything I can say? Rick and evil Hulk Hogan hits his head, gets amnesia, and wakes up thinking he's Santa Claus. In an effort to save the orphanage Santa With Muscles gets into a sword fight using weird electrical space crystals in the cavern UNDERNEATH THE ORPHANAGE and accidentally blows it up. AUDIENCE APPLAUSE! SANTA DESTROYED THE ORPHANAGE! Naturally he gets his memory back and decides not to be a bad guy and instead let the orphans, their caretaker, and Garret Morris move into his house. Why Garrett Morris? Who knows.
That's right, Hulk Hogan made the guy become his groundskeeper. Because that's what Santa does!
I love you, Christmas.

The Night They Seemed Christmas sounds really cool. I'm disappointed to see it is not on Netflix.
Check out betamaxmas.com to watch classic Christmas specials & commercials on an old-school TV (you may need to adjust the rabbit ears)

Yeah, it's definitely not on DVD, but it IS on torrents in DVD format as Europe got a DVD release.
Thanks, I've downloaded it.
After a quick scrub through it it looks vaguely familiar. I may have seen it as a kid, but regardless itlooks pretty damn sweet and I look forward to watching it!
