Perfect creature

Evergreen:

It’s okay to be wrong sometimes.

But not about this.

I would hang a small print of that in my house, it’s great.

I think I’m actually going to start pitching it as a panel at conventions. I have citations, that makes it academic 😛

I could give a 90 minute presentation, with slides, on this topic.

Star Trek TOS and movies 1-4 depict one of the most beautiful romances between two men since Gilgamesh held Enkidu’s body in his arms. The slow burn of Kirk and Spock realizing just how much they mean to one another, the homoerotic yearning, the life and death and rebirth. It’s fucking art, man.

My favorite animated Christmas story as a kid was the 2000 2D animated Life & Adventures of Santa Claus. I found it less cloying than the Rankin-Bass version.

Jingle All the Way remains a classic.

Elf is one of Will Ferrell’s finest roles.

I am far too attracted to Jim Carrey’s Grinch.

Gundam has two Christmas specials. In the Universal Century timeline, War in the Pocket takes place during Christmas. In After Colony/Wing, Endless Waltz also happens at Christmas. Both are excellent.

Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa is one of the worst things I’ve ever watched. Watch it.

The Hey Arnold holiday special, from season 1, is great even if you’ve never seen another episode of the show.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best adaptation of the story. You must watch the extended version with the song “When Love is Gone” added back in.
