Miracle on 34th Street

[Perd Hapley]

It starts now.

"You're making a mistake with the reindeer."

[Perd Hapley]

This film teaches you how to be a monkey. Awesomesauce!

[cosine]

"You're not scratching!"

[Perd Hapley]

The wife and I are sleepy now, and going to bed. Sorry. You've got to keep the magic going tonight, cosine. We'll carry on tomorrow night. Thanks.

I wasn't even watching the movie. It was a yearly classic when I was growing up so I have huge parts of it memorized. 

[Perd Hapley]

I don't know it that well. That may have been my second time watching it all the way through. Or trying to, anyway.

Good thing I went to bed early, though. I have to get out and split some firewood this morning.

The original or the remake? Like most such, the remake doesn't hold a (Christmas) candle to the original.

[Perd Hapley]

The one from 1947, though our copy is colorized.

According to Wiki, there are three remakes. I wonder if anyone actually watches those.

[Gowen]

I remember pieces parts but I don't know if I ever sat down and watched it all the way through.

[cosine]

Huh. I wasn't even aware that there were multiple remakes.

[Perd Hapley]

Huh. I wasn't even aware that there were multiple remakes.

And there you were, suffering through the original all these years, when you could have watched the remakes.  

[Tallpine]

All these movie remakes ... next thing you know they'll be doing a remake of True Grit

Never seen the movie, however, I am a fan of "Miracle off 28th Street" -- a local beer made by a brewery just off our local 28th street.

It's a 9.5% ABV dark old ale.  There's a reason the label features Santa face down in the snow.

That does have some relevance to the opening scenes of the film.

My wife & I have been at my parents' house with every pathetic, cliche Christmas movie playing on the TV....Jingle All The Way is on now....


....someone please kill me now....

Then you won't want to miss the 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story.

Someone keep seeker_two away from the razor blades.

I think with the shakeup in NK right now...we should have put giant psyops speakers on the border playing every *expletive deleted*ing christmas song eleventybillion times 24 hours a day, with trashy giant inflatable yard decorations and christmas lights everywhere along our side of the border. Because if we have to endure torture of the ear and eye are lucky enough to get to enjoy Christmas, our blessed friends elsewhere in the world should, too.


(I predict that within 72 hours every NK soldier along the DMZ would have eaten the muzzle of his rifle)
