twistedmentat posted:Yup, I know it from the Cinema Snob and the FLop Houses reviews. I tired to actually watch it but is so loving up its own rear end and just lovely in everyway. The defense of the commercialization of Christmas is really weird because every other christian entertainment is pretty much Peanuts ending. Its about Jesus! Not gameboys! But Cameron is such a prosperity gospel guy that displays of wealth is a sign of gods grace. The house it takes place in angers me so much. its such a McMansion, with its 2 loving fridges. No one needs 2 fridges that isn't a resturant! Then it has enough space for a white person dance party to take up 10 minutes of running time. About a Boy.

While we're on the topic of American exceptionalism turning the country into a cultural wasteland, here's maybe the best Christmas film of all time, Bernard And The Genie, in full, on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8qwZcycfoI

Everyone who doesn't immediately respond with the Muppets Christmas Carol when asked what the best Christmas movie is, is wrong and should be ashamed of themselves

British shoppers at christmas are...well...I'm not sure there are words to describe it. The list of Christmas No.1s in the UK over the last four decades includes the Wombles song, a song about Mr Blobby, and the loving Bob The loving Builder song.

British shoppers at christmas are...well...I'm not sure there are words to describe it. yeah but we also had RATM live on the bbc, playing Killing in the Name when it became Christmas #1. The beeb asking them not to swear, and them getting their mics cut when they didn't give a poo poo, adds to the smashing of the Simon Cowell machine (and all the money went to a good homeless charity) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfZGUdcBBLc&t=236s Spangly A fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Dec 26, 2017 |

Young Freud posted:It's funny you bring up Saving Christmas because it's bad in unexpected ways: Kirk Cameron defends the commericalization of Christmas. He has a born-again Christian strawman that espouses a stripped down Christmas so he can tear him down. Lol. System mastery is loving great and expounded universe is fun. Didn’t Cameron get a actress black listed because she did playboy. Anyway my Christmas was great and my girlfriend and parents loved their presents. Merry what’s left of Christmas if you celebrate and happy almost end of holidays for everyone.

It's a wonderful life is a great example of the disconnect between American ideals and America in action. "Money can't buy happiness! Living a good life for the poor is the path to true riches! Root for the everyman against the greedy real estate capitalist!" "Let's make Potter president!"

The modern remake of A Christmas Story has Ken Jeong playing the restaurant owner without the racist "fa-ra-ra-ra-ra," which caused many meltdowns and tears on twitter when baby boomer whites watched it.

MAGA roommate who fancies himself a cook / foodie and recently got himself a deep fryer has just unironically plunked down a bottle of ketchup next to his aged ribeye and announced he's having it "Trump style" He still can't bring himself to cook it more than medium rare though, so there's that. e: and now he is deep frying a slice of margherita pizza
