BTW, and then it'll be time to tuck this away for a year:
A great thing about this great essay is that the author is actually reading and illuminating what's on the screen, not devising spurious, fantastic alternatives.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

My mom, who lives in NY, wanted to see Wicked For Good but couldn't figure out how to book her ticket on the website, so she just gave me her credit card number and had me order it for her from London. This is so my mom. 😭

I find it interesting how many people consider Muppet Christmas Carol a Christmas Eve tradition. For me, it's very much a Christmas Night tradition. Christmas Eve is for Muppet Family Christmas.

My favourite thing to notice about Home Alone as an adult is how the morning after that messy pizza dinner in the kitchen and the chaos that was them rushing out in the morning, the house is absolutely spotless and gleaming when Kevin wakes up. And same for the booby-trap cleanup.

Hello, please repost for visibility.
Are you in or near Bury St. Edmunds this week?
Are you willing and able to do a favour for an internet person?
I'd really appreciate photos of the TK Maxx car park, whether during the day, or after dark (4pm lmao) to contest a parking invoice.

I had a MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL thread on Twitter that it had become a bit of a tradition for me to retweet and sometimes add to annually, and I'm going to recreate it here! Buckle in, folks! x

Your annual reminder that if you're watching Muppets Christmas Carol you can now get the UNEDITED version with the best fucking song that was only released in the UK on VHS for one year on Disney+ by going into extras 😇

Literally every time an Avatar film comes out, a small part of me wonders if maybe I should finally watch them while at the same time I overwhelmingly just don't care enough to, and then I completely forget they exist along with the rest of the world until the next one arrives.

Surely not adding the addendum "other than The Muppet Christmas Carol" is unfair to all other Christmas films.
You're only allowed to watch one Christmas movie this season. What do you watch?
