Yeah, but it's more about Christmas Spirit than believing in fictitious creatures.  Even in the last song, they reference not the belief in Santa himself, but in what he represents:

I think Albert's claim was that Santa would arrive even though he wrote the letter.  He then realized that he didn't want to take that risk because of the selfishness of it, and that in the odd chance he was wrong, too many less-fortunate-than-him people would suffer.  At least that's what I remember from the movie,…

I really thought nobody else in the world has seen this but me and my siblings!  It still exists on a tape our parents recorded from t.v. in the '80s of Frosty the Snowman and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, with this piece sandwiched in-between.  And, much like the 8:30 show on Must See TV, we usually tuned in to…

This is definitely tops on my hip-hop list.  They do a nice job of differentiating their sound song-to-song, and at a tight 40 minutes or so, it's not an investment to sit down and listen to cover-to-cover (I'm looking at you, Drake.)

"Tonight's the Night" is easily Young's best album.

An addendum to a previous thought:  I also hate that "Last Christmas" song for a number of reasons I will dispense now:

I'm with Jason Heller:  12 Days of Christmas goes on for about 10 days too long.  It is a shitty, repetitive song that actually got me to not return to my carol group when they refused to pull it from the lineup.

Yeah but the Golden Globes makes no pretensions to legitimacy.  I mean it's just the drunk stepchild to the Oscars, and happy to be so!

Thanks for the nose news neighbor!

FAWLTY TOWERS!!!

Dude.  Andre 3000 had easily the best verse on the album.  His diction is so precise and the slow staccato to start out was superb.  Also referencing Boise State and Adele in the same small verse is a beautiful thing.

"Great Muppet Caper" may be one of my favorite movies of all time, and one of the funniest "kids movie" for all ages.

And nobody looks like they belong in a Twighlight movie more than Eli Manning when things aren't going well for him.

Things

If you can get me a TV channel that has The Muppet Show on at least once per week, you have guaranteed yourself at least one subscriber.

Seinfeld was also shot in LA, and that is the quintessential NY sitcom from my generation.  Maybe there was a Joycian "have to leave it to love it" quality that made the actors really channel their inner New Yorker on those shows…

I couldn't agree more.  It fits so perfectly with the theme of the show, and for a while, I would hear the HBO opening of the television clicking on and immediately think that this song came afterwards.  Driving from NY through New Jersey always reminds me of cruising in a Suburban with Tony as he sucks down a cigar.

I'm going to have to go with Horsefly bites.

Event Horizon.  That scene where they're checking out the glowing green vents and the ghost pops up.  Freakiest thing ever, compounded by the fact that I was young when I saw it.

More like getting bottles broken across her bare bosom from afar as a Gathering of the Juggalos warm-up act to Lloyd Banks.
