And now we've lost the director of This Is Spinal Tap. The year the parody music died. 😔
We lost Bob Rivers and Tom Lehrer this year, and now Dr. Demento has retired. It's like an era coming to an end.

R.I.P. Rob Reiner.

This Is Spın̈al Tap is one of my favorite music films, and my favorite rockumentary. I'm glad he got to make a sequel to it with the original cast earlier this year.

Fun fact: I posted this after rewatching the Rob Reiner episode. Their counterpoint to his anti-smoking activism was, "Yeah, well you're fat."
90% of South Park episodes are them telling celebrities, "Nice activism. Too bad I've already depicted you as the soyjak."

I was going to watch Misery next month because I'm on a Lizzy Caplan kick and she played a younger version of Annie Wilkes in Castle Rock. But now I'm going to cut out the middle man and do it in memorandum to Rob Reiner.

I'm so glad I rewatched Princess Bride earlier this year. Thanks, Rob.

I’m a big believer in “You don’t have to post about everything."

But my first thought after seeing the Rob Reiner news was about my mother, who always called my Uncle Mike “Meathead,” inspired by Reiner’s character on All in the Family. The memory of that makes me smile...

RIP Rob Reiner. Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies, maybe one that I've rewatched the most. I'm gonna have to watch it again.

In honor of Rob Reiner, we should follow up on CinemaSins' offer to decide if The Princess Bride is a Christmas movie

I haphazardly made my 1,000th skeet about Adam Sandler
I like to imagine some Jewish person feels the same way about Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights as I do about the Jim Carrey Grinch movie
Taylor Momsen has managed to accomplish something that rewatching the live-action Grinch movie hasn't: Capture my nostalgia for the live-action Grinch movie

There is something beautiful and symbolic about Taylor Momsen reprising this song as an adult, and doing a duet with her past self, since it's a song about how Christmas feels different as you grow older.

So I was thinking: "Krampus" in the original Germanic language means "claw"

And it's only a coincidence that the Americanized version of Saint Nicholas/Sinterklaas has "Claus" as a homophone for "claws"

Boys watch The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya for Christmas. Men watch the entire Endless Eight arc during each night of Hanukkah.

Dick Van Dyke recited a speech about racial unity that was written by Rod Serling at an event where the keynote speaker was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bruh... everything about that sentence is fricking awesome.

Which, y'know, I have mixed feelings about, having already soft retired from reviewing by this point, but also I'm kinda tearing up to know that people are finally discovering it after all the work I put into it.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

And please watch if you haven't already!

It doesn't get acknowledged or appreciated enough how the Ghost of Christmas Past in the original story is nonbinary representation.

Red One wasn't all that fun of a movie, but I appreciate what they were aiming to do: Make an 'epic' Christmas action comedy. And in having Grýla the Icelandic ogre witch be the villain, they've given further mainstream American pop culture attention to European Yuletide monsters.

For years I've predicted that Bryan Cranston would one day play Scrooge in a Christmas Carol adaption. Tell me we're at least getting warmer
