That said, I love Arthur, but not when I was a kid.

Also, Dudley Moore. Even as a kid, you could tell that he was a relic.

😂

His part is a mystery. Is he Father Time?

Wow! It was only 7 years old at that point.

It is very much a product of the 80s. The costuming of the casual clothes in the North Pole, especially.

It's shot in soft focus a lot too, which is a holdover from the 70s, probably.

The look of it really is like a dream. A Gen X fever dream where heaven is made of wooden blocks, painted in primary colors.

Oh yeah, they totally die. That is a strange beginning. So like, are the elves angels? Is the North Pole heaven?

That is a shame. The McDonald's product placement is legitimately shameless.

It is a weird film. At some point, it becomes mostly about a rogue elf, and less about Santa.

Ok, so.... do they die at the beginning? And then wake up magically transported to the "North Pole"?

Yeah u right

It was just chillin at the grocery store! The store was a regional chain called Greer's.

It smells amazing, and tastes pretty good! I don't normally go in for flavored coffees, but this one is quite good.

That is a good point. The Super Bowl win will always be a cherished memory, albeit a very hazy one. I had to be reminded that we were at a Mardi Gras Ball that night and I watched it on a giant tv with other attendees.

Walked outside and people were dancing in the streets. 🖤💛

That Bears video tho

I have enough turkey gumbo that we could easily eat gumbo for every meal for a week. 😂
