Who has four paws and is working hard to ruin Christmas, one scavenged chocolate orange at a time? This idiot. Bonus points for staging the scene to make it look like a stuffed toy did it.

I'm watching The Wrong Trousers and it's bonkers to watch it now, since a provincial museum in the north of England in an animation from 1993 has better security than the Louvre.

Can't remember if it's in the film it, but it IS a Christmas novel.
Whole thing is set around Christmas, and Ryan worrying about not making it back home to Britain in time to spend it with his daughter.
There's even a minor subplot about him trying to buy a particular barbie she's asked Santa for.

Oddly enough, “The Hunt for Red October” always feels weirdly Christmassy to me.
You can bet that I’ll be watching Master & Commander again at some point over Christmas - not because it’s particularly Christmassy (it isn’t) but because it’s perfect and I love it… and one must always choose the lesser of two weevils

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

I have a governance point: a film being "A Christmas Film" is not about what people think, it is an epistemological question about the film's content, style, and so on
A survey is therefore an inappropriate methodological tool to determine the christmasness or otherwise of any given film

British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

I used to love walking through piles of leaves, then I got a dog and realised:
a) Dogs love to poo in them
b) Dog poo is IMPOSSIBLE to find in a pile of leaves.
I don't walk through piles of leaves any more.
