All hail shower beer!

But Sam, without them, we couldn’t have gotten such bold, revolutionary imagery as *checks notes* someone’s Christmas lights causing a power outage across a whole city! Never been done before, and certainly not in a Christmas movie! Certainly not one that millions have seen!

Haha I love that. Also a subtle commentary on modern life: I was hanged by the neck until dead in my past life. Now I can’t stand tight collars 😂

I’m so sensitive to overly tight necks, but I never had the courage to chop them off! Maybe now I will…

Hell yeah 👍

Thank you!

For sure

Jon Favreau is just a guy who loves Ralphie as much as the rest of us

This is a fascinating phenomenon. I think it has something to do with when it originally came out (LOTR were all released in December). But also the kinds of movies that you can put on when the whole family is gathered together maybe?

That’s awesome

Holy shit! I never noticed that, but I know exactly the character he plays! Thank you for enlightening me.

I think about this a lot because, yeah, Elf is pretty much the last universal classic and we’re due for another. Lots of great niche offerings, but nothing that’s fully broken through

Nosferatu is a new classic, I think! And Eggers has Werwulf and possibly A Christmas Carol coming down the pike, so we should be set up for holiday haunts!

I can understand that. The action sequences are just so good though

And look, I was there when it started. I saw that motherfucker in theaters as a kid. I think it was a sponsored event from my orthodontist or something wacky. But I loved it. Then I got the DVD and have watched it countless times since. This is not a rashly offered statement.

Thinking now that I need to send a candle with a proprietary scent and a playlist along with my scripts, to encourage readers to really get on the right wavelength

Amen!
