“Hail Saint Nick” is so fucking funny

Also, the signage sucks, and airport staff point you in the wrong direction like, 70% of the time. Kafkaesque

Also, LAX doesn’t get enough hate. Most poorly designed airport I’ve ever layover’d in

Whatever you do, avoid the Hollywood remake of Oldboy from 2013. It sucks

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Glad you could find it! I doubt many people remember this movie, but I liked it

This man must be stopped. Rest assured, the *proper channels* have been notified

Merry Christmas @timjamesmedia.ca, and all the best to you and your family in 2026!

And hey, if Ghost In A Shell is correct in its predictions, we'll all have robotic body parts in just three short years! Think of the implications!

ANIME BONUS ROUND: #Japan

Ghost In A Shell (1995) - In the future, human body parts can be replaced with robotics. This has implications.

Hollywood tried to do a live-action version of this story with Scarlett Johansson in 2017, and it sucked #ElbowsUp

BACKUPS: Your Name (2016), Paprika (2006)

Day 5: #Germany

Run Lola Run (1998) - Lola has 20 minutes to get a bag of money to her boyfriend, or he'll be killed. How does that play out? The film has a few options.

It's just like a Hollywood action movie, only everyone is speaking German.

BACKUPS: The Lives Of Others (2006), Das Boot (1981)

DAY 4: #France

The 400 Blows (1959) - This coming-of-age classic helped inspire an artistic movement, and generations of successful filmmakers.

The story itself is surprisingly straightforward: a young boy can't catch a break, and causes trouble.

BACKUPS: Anatomy Of A Fall (2023), Amélie (2001)

Day 3: #NewZealand

What We Do In The Shadows (2014) - Four ancient vampires live as roommates in a Wellington suburb, and have to contend with the inconveniences of modern life.

Both this, and the TV series it spawned, are hilarious.

BACKUPS: Tickled (2016), Hunt For The Wilderpeople (2016)

DAY 2: #Korea

Parasite (2019) - The New York Times recently published a list of the 100 best movies of the 21st Century. This was #1.

In their words, it's "a ferocious rebuke to the devastations of neoliberalism".

...yeah, totally. I agree.

BACKUPS: Oldboy (2003), No Other Choice (2025)
December 14, 2025 at 11:03 PM
DAY 1: #Canada

The Last Casino (2004) - A deadbeat university professor recruits three students into a Blackjack card counting scheme. Drama ensues.

Hollywood tried to do this same story with Kevin Spacey in 2008, and it sucked #ElbowsUp

BACKUPS: Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006), Strange Brew (1983)

Careful dude, I don’t know if the internet is ready for takes this spicy
