When Chris Columbus - affable director of Home Alone (and other hits and misses) was just staring out, he was tapped by John Hughes to direct Christmas Vacation. He had 2 meetings with C. Chase then turned down the film (wow) because Chase was such a jerk at those meetings.

The lethal immediacy of Solo upon seeing Vader in Cloud City (followed by Vader’s contemptuous deflection and disarming) is one of my fave moments from the trilogy. 

Yeah, but 1 Eric Idle seems like the exact right kind of starfucker to have around, and 2, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be a starfucker a LITTLE bit. It sounds like a blast so long as you don't hedge your reputation on it.

It’s probably easier just to list the few scenes Harrison Ford wasn’t high in.

I’ve heard this too, but I think it’s more than fair to assume that a party with the 1970's Rolling Stones, and Carrie Fisher, had some (to put it lightly) harder stuff.

No Stones, sadly, but somewhat proof photo

You were ok but couldn’t quite stick the landing. A Wookie is not gum, it’s Chewie no Chewy. 

Can’t wait until it gets to be that time of the year so I can watch it again. When my grandparents were still alive, it was a tradition to watch it with them on Thanksgiving (“to get into the Christmas Spirit”) and to me will always be THE Christmas movie.

Do you not have Google?  

I actually legit love that music video and forgot about it until you all mentioned it. 

I would say that the family has such sweet bits in the movie tho. Jello. The Cat chasing the squirrel. Shitter’s full!

That’s ok, it takes all kinds!

Brown has always come across as a sympathetic person to me.

Anyone who was a member at Bushwood Country Club is definitely racist. 

At least he keeps the hardcore racism on the down low.

I love that the guy who played Gerald Fold the way he fucking played Gerald Ford has the nerve to critique any character Eddie Murphy did.

I mean he’s said some extremely homophobic shit to other SNL castmembers. But you’re right, I don’t know of any example of him being a racist. If that’s. . . in any way better, which it absolutely isn’t.

Agreed. Especially since people have lost jobs forever for less.

Christmas & Vegas Vacation are both awesome, but in spite of Chevy Chase, not because of him. He brings nothing to the table while those movies are saved by the likes of Randy Quaid and bit parts like Wayne Newton, the blackjack dealer, and the couple nextdoor in Xmas.
