Don't matter, Christmas movie=she will love it. The only exception to that rule is Elf, where our dislike for Will Ferrell trumps the holiday movie card.

I enjoyed watching the Santa Clause movies with our granddaughter last year, watching her try to grasp the concept of somebody's dad turning into Santa Claus every year. I think it will be more fun with her this year (plus watching her do the "Sisters" number from White Christmas is a hoot).

Ugh. I would rather watch a kitten being bludgeoned with a hammer than have to suffer through one of the Tim Allen "Santa Clause" movies again. But what do I know? I seem to be the only person on earth who hates A Christmas Story, the one with the kid who wants a BB gun (I love the book, though).

I like Elf , but not for Ferrell -- c'mon, it's got that delicious Zoey Deschanel in it, and she even sings! And Lou Grant as Santa! And Bob Newhart as Papa Elf!

I agree on the Jean Sheperd books, everyone of them evokes memories of boyhood in the Midwest.

I love the Jean Shepherd books as well. Also his radio shows. As a kid, I would hide under the covers after being sent to bed, with a transistor radio (remember them?) and listen to his show on WOR in NYC. He really showed the power of radio as I was transported to places I'd never been and hearing about things I'd never known - all in the theater of the imagination.

I like his books, and love that movie, but I find the radio show extremely dull. I don't buy for one minute the accuracy of many of his stories, though they're fine as fiction. The rest of the time, he just seems like a boorish windbag.

Don't get me wrong I can take Wil Ferrel in small doses (SNL skits) but for the life of me I can never wrap my mind around that he has made MILLION$ of dollars in my opinion really stupid films................and please understand that this is coming from a man who can almost quote every juicy line from Animal House


I stand with you sir along with the other 300 Spartans to defend the narrows or whatever the hell that place was called....

My deepest sympathy.

Are these condolences based on the second season of Lost in space or the Lugosi Monograms...........I am hoping that it is the Lost in space thing...because if anything I kinda feel sorry for the old Hungarian (not you Gravy)

That's right LG 90 days or less..........it is obvious that the closer Monogram week gets.....the more skittish the board members get.....

IT'S COMING UP ON MONOGRAM WEEK.....YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH...


P.S. I will be sending the bribe money shortly for the Rose Mcgowan "miss Monogram week thing" ....................I wonder can the other board members read this considering I have used the Gene Roth invisible keyboard ink typing type thing.

It's My Family Album, and Your World As I See It.

"The Essential Ernest Collection".

I'm too speechless to even make the obvious joke.
