31 DAYS of CHRISTMAS - DAY 17

"I haven't taken leave of my senses, Bob; I've come to them."

Today it's the third of four passes at Charles Dickens' Yuletide chiller A Christmas Carol, this time in the form of the Alastair Sim classic Scrooge (Desmond-Hurst, 1951), arguably the best-loved ACC adaptation of all of them.

'Cosmonauts' on BBC4, about the Russian space programme. It makes the very good point that the Americans might have got a man on the Moon first, but the Russians beat them to pretty much everything else.

WHU - Del - agree - top prog - really liked it - the USA were always playing catch up. Wasn't happy about the USSR punting a Dog into space though and saying he survived the journey there and back - only to admit 20 years later that he died of heat exhaustion in space :(

Finished watching the third series of Girls. Thought it was great. Love that it has gone from 'a realistic Sex and the City' in the first series to 'a group of female sociopaths and two decent blokes' by the end of the the third. And the soundtrack is always good.

Gonna have to watch that.

The space programme seemed like an after-thought to the Ivans, Yanks get the jump on nukes and are going for precise guided missile systems, the Ivans go for the 'throw the **** that way' approach with Tzar Bomba and happened to get a leap ahead by throwing huge objects about instead.

An the way we picture the 50/60's USSR as the crazy ones, when they were the ones telling us to stop nuking the sky!, guys

31 DAYS of CHRISTMAS - DAY 18

"F*ck me, Santa! F*ck me, Santa! F*ck me, Santa!"

A double-bill of Christmas fare today. First and as a family, we'll be enjoying three modern animated Christmas Specials: Shrek the Halls (Trousdale, 2007), Merry Madagascar (Soren, 2009) and Toy Story That Time Forgot (Purcell, 2014), the last of which only debuted a couple of weeks ago so we've not seen that one yet. Then, later and definitely NOT as a family, mrs.caress and I will settle down to some Billy Bob Thornton-shaped shenanigans in the form of Bad Santa (Zwigoff, 2003).

First episode of Black Mirror on Netflix. Subject matter a tad unusual but thought it was good.

A pretty good doc on this history of video games. 100 minutes and it did what it said on the tin. :thup:

31 DAYS of CHRISTMAS - DAY 19

Day 19?? F*cking hell, Christmas is galloping up on us on the inside lane, isn't it? I only finished Christmas (present) shopping yesterday, and we've still got a fair bit of Christmas (food) shopping still to do! Best crack on.

Anyway, today it's... oh. (shudder, grimace) I haven't got one of "my" films scheduled now 'til Christmas Eve. We've a bunch of mrs.caress' favourites to power through, and over the next four days we're going with two movies in particular and their respective first sequels (they both had more sequels than that, but I simply couldn't take any more). Today, it's The Santa Clause (Pasquin, 1994), starring Tim "Buzz Lightyear" Allen. Ho ho bloody ho.

the whole series has been little more than a feminist propaganda machine if you ask me. when you catch onto it, the number of times you see weak men / strong women messages screaming out of the TV......the beardy bloke coming out with that line "why are women so much emotionally stronger than us weak men?" ......can you imagine the backlash with the same line in reverse

and outside of that, one of the main themes of how the bad guy could be such a good looking and pleasingly charismatic person.....blah blah.......doesn't even play correctly.......the bloke is entirely creepy and weird throughout

badly conceived and executed crock of 5hite........which is disappointing, as I thought it might be something more along the lines of some of the european crine series which have been quite entertaining

Agreed. The first series was great TV, the second series was simply not needed and has been a disappointment from the start and the only thing that kept me glued was the forlorn hope that the gorgeous Gillian Anderson might take a drink from the furry cup at some stage, as she nearly did with Archie Panjabi. Underwhelmed

-Where did he go?
-Maybe he committed suicide.


Speaking of which, today it's Macaulay Culkin's finest hour, in Home Alone (Columbus, 1990).

31 DAYS of CHRISTMAS - DAY 21

Hm. The weekend intervened once again yesterday and I was unable to take in Home Alone. So, today, I'm making a late change: We were scheduled to watch The Santa Clause 2 (Lembeck, 2002) today and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (Columbus, 1992) tomorrow, but I'm swapping those around and making today a Home Alone double-bill. Hurrah. Oh well, that might earn me enough brownie points to maybe get a spaghetti western on later, at least.

Anchorman 2.
Absolute lederhosen. A couple of laughs (thanks to Steve Carell) but it sums up Will Ferrell, a chaotic and incoherent mess and not as funny as it seems to think it is.
Wasn't a fan of the first, and this was much, much worse.

71....A brilliant film about a soldier on the run in Belfast during the height of the troubles. Really good.
