Most of them haven't seen it, but have no fear; it will be screened at the awards luncheon, where all AFI members will be encouraged to sing and dance along with the movie. Afterwards, they will, via acclamation, decide to strip the winners of their prizes and give the Oogieloves ALL THE AWARDS. 

All things I haven't seen, but mostly intend to, as soon as it's out on DVD/streaming. Am I still cool?

Titans Swingin' Christmas Carol is nuts. They adapted Dickens, but with virtually no effort at all. If I remember correctly, the characters are named Ebenezer Scrounge, Bob Ratchet, Tiny Tom and Jacob Farley. And they're at least halfway through the story before Robin notices the similarities.

The other one had some cute stories. The JLA one where the Key thinks he's killed all of them was awesome. This one… sounds kind of lame. Except that Deadman story. I feel like I've read it somewhere, but nothing else in this sounds familiar. I wonder if it was ever printed elsewhere?

Oops. I lied. I have the other one, the one with the Teen Titans Swingin' Christmas Carol and the Batman story where no crimes happen on Christmas Eve. This one I don't even remember ever seeing, actually.

I have this. What possessed 12-year old me to buy it, I don't know, but some of the stories are awesome, and I'm glad I did. I think I might dig it out of the boxes of comics in my garage and see how many hold up.

I saw a few minutes of it once. There's a bit where they're rushing around on a ship trying to disguise where it's actually from. They find a Dutch flag somewhere and turn it on its side to make it a French flag. The details are hazy, but I remember thinking that sequence was pretty great, and when the rest of the
