I saw Will Farrell on a late night talk show, and he talked about that movie, which was his first musical. He had to go through some heavy voice coaching to prepare.

Do we have to pay for phase 3?
Phase 3 opens to the public this weekend!
We went there a long time ago. We need to go back!
I tried, I really did.
I told them it was October, not November, but they wouldn´t believe me.
I told them that Christmas comes but once a year, not every 3 months - but they wouldn´t listen.
It was a losing battle - 5 against 1.
I might just spray it with Naga Jolokia powder tomorrow...

I don’t know if everyone will be able to access this, but if you can, it’s an interesting little article about Cincinnati’s antebellum Christmas Eve Meat Parade:
Cincinnati's 1850 Christmas Meat Parade - Cincinnati Magazine

Look! Look! It’s Christmas Queen Lacey Chabert (sorry, Mariah)!
Back to the movies:
This one is a modern spin on the Barbara Stanwyck classic “Christmas in Connecticut,” updated to make the protagonist an influencer-wannabe who starts a channel based on a phony “perfect” holiday life, and it succeeds just a little too much.
We’ve been watching more “classic” Christmas made-for-TV movies from the 1970’s, which I personally enjoy a lot more. We’ve seen one about a father still dealing with the grief of losing his son who reluctantly takes in his grandson during the Depression, and a murder-mystery one with an all-star cast, about four sisters, a grumpy father who’s convinced he’s being poisoned, and his unwelcome suspect of a second wife, and lastly, one about a boy growing up with his much older cousin, who’s his best friend as well as only parental influence.
What’s interesting about those is all the highly-regarded, highly-awarded actors appearing in these: Jason Robards, Sally Field, Geraldine Page, Walter Brennan, etc.

And so it begins…
Enough with the frivolous Christmas movies…now some real high culture:
Why does the word "Cheesy" keep invading my mind???
I think it’s because you want a nice bit of Red Leicester while you sit down to watch one of these movies.Why does the word "Cheesy" keep invading my mind???
Still in need of candy canes and tinsel, but the main decorating is done.
