Day 21: A holiday/winter movie from the 2000's

Thomas Kinkade: The Painter of Light*

In his own words: "I am really the most controversial artist in the world."

If you look at this movie as a pretty work of fiction, much like his paintings, it's not half bad. His alcoholism, crude language, sexual harassment, bad business dealings and territorial pissing are not mentioned... but it has that tall brother from Supernatural Jared Padalecki, the talented Marcia Gay Harden and Peter O'Toole!

Christmas Cottage (2008)

*Kinkade’s work is the meticulously painted smile on the Joker’s disfigured face. It refuses to deal with the fallenness, brokenness, sinfulness of the world. And more troubling, it enables his clientele to escape into an imaginary world where things can be pretty good, as long as we have our faith, our family values, and a visual imagery that re-affirms all this at the office and at home. -Cultivar/Daniel A. Siedell

Liking the New Christmas Die-Hard esque movie that dropped in Netflix. Jason Bateman is no Allan Rickman. But it was tense and exciting. Like the addition of a new festive action flick. Good to see β€˜Eggsy’ from Kingsman as a good guy in this, being no stranger to an action role. Weird to see Bateman as a baddie. More used to him in roles like in Juno, Arrested Development and Hancock. But he pulled it off well. Good movie. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Day 22: An animated holiday movie that is your personal favorite and why

The 80's were wild weren't they? Christmas specials for every cartoon show just about. I loved this cartoon. Animation wasn't great but idgaf. Look at how cool these characters are! 😍 Saturday morning cartoons were the best in the 80's and early 90's. Prove me wrong.

Day 22: An animated holiday movie that is your personal favorite and why

I am a basic bastard with this. When I think Christmas shows, this is the first that comes to mind. I had it on DVD, but it stayed with my ex in the divorce. She gave me an early Christmas present.

There are reasons we are still friends.

I love so much about it, but honestly, I want this girl's energy.

I also love that when the network executives and the people involved in making it got together to watch the final cut, they didn't think anyone would want to watch it. Except for one guy in the room who said, "no, in a hundred years, they will still be watching this." I love him.

A Charlie Brown Christmas.
I also play this before I watch it.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely my favorite. Growing up, I'd watch it every year with my family and it's a nice memory. Also, I just love Peanuts. But can I confess, I don't think I'd hate a big shiny aluminum Christmas tree? Especially if it was painted pink 🫣

There are lots of reasons to love this movie. The grinch's growing heart. The spirit of the townsfolk. Max's quiet disdain for the grinch's cruelty.
But mostly I just really want to know what roast beast tastes like.

Oh! We did theme trees. I live in the PNW, so having an artificial tree is almost blasphemy to me, but we did a Peanuts tree and went and bought a silver tinsel tree for it. It wasn't pink, but it worked.

As a kid, this broadcast marked the start of Christmas season for me for many years.

My sister sent me a bunch of stuffed animals from Rudolph. My kid loved for me to act it out for her. Which means, yes, I saw it enough times to have it mostly memorized....

But I don't know if I had any points...😁
 

Day 22
Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas

The story of a, for some reason, northern English working class Father Christmas who takes himself on holiday.

Raymond Brigg's books and films were a huge part of my childhood. I've already shared the beautiful Snowman but this is just as lovely.

I'd also recommend When The Wind Blows but after Christmas and with tissues at the ready because it will break your heart.
