Glim Glim - Not really a movie though

Mick C. Wrote:An SCTV Christmas - The 2 SCTV Xmas specials, this just came out on DVD and I bought it yesterday, can't wait to see it. Include's Johnny LaRue's famous crane shot.
The Johnny LaRue crane shot has been a running gag in my family since we first saw it on TV. Much of the idioms we use is either from SCTV ("Dialing for Dollar$") or from Monty Python ("Right, right").
Although Monty Python is at the top of my list, SCTV rates a close second. Third would have to be Kids in the Hall, followed by Fridays, Mad TV, and last but not least, Saturday Night Live (loved the 80's version with Eddie Murphy--"Hot Tub"--, Joe Piscapo--"I'm from New Jersey, you from New Jersey?" and Tony Rosado--from SCTV, of course, et al).

P.S. Michael Richards from Seinfield came from the troupe, Fridays. One of the characters he played on the show was similar to Cosmo Kramer--it was this lounge lizard type of guy who served mixed drinks from cans to his dates, believing that that was super cool.
My wife and I let my son watch Rudolph for the first time last week, we had not seen it in years. Funny how you look at things different now. To be honest, Santa comes across as a mean old bigot and the other reindeer are really @$$holes. No wonder the "bumble" was always in a bad mood...
My favorite Christmas movie is The Long Kiss Goodnight with Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. It's also a good action flick. I hope I see it on one of the movie channels during the holiday season - I know seeing this movie would brighten my spirits.

"Nightmare before Christmas". Last week I saw it in my friend's home, and it came up to my mind now. I loved it!
Oh, man! I have regret now. I missed Corpse Bride.

I loved Nightmare too. The songs were so good! The Corpse Bride was good too, but it wasn't all that similar to The Corpse Bride (nor as good).
I got myself a DVD copy of "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" and played it last night. Fabulous!

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
