I managed to miss that part when it showed up on Loforo, so I’ll delete it.
I liked it.
Me too, also, but once I got hip to that ending…
Bev looks fantastic in that dress! I mean, she always looks gothically flawless, but I love this dress!
Sorry!
No need for you to apologize, Liebchen. I’m sorry I missed the bit that ruined it!
This movie gets a lot of undeserved hate.
Christmas crackers were invented by an English confectioner, Tom Smith, in 1847. He had been to the French Exhibition in Paris in 1840 and since then had been selling his own sweets in the style of French bon-bons, wrapped with a paper twisted at each end. He originally put in love notes to make the sweet eater feel happy. He then changed this to riddles and jokes printed on paper inside with the sweet, and sold them as Christmas novelties. In 1860 he made an arrangement with Brock’s Fireworks to include an explosive device inside, and the traditional cracker was born. They were called Cosaques, the French name for fearsome Russian Cossack soldiers who were renowned for shooting their rifles loudly in the air.

Xmas parody from a hardcore band out of Athens called Porn Orchard…
Not actually Tom Waits and Peter Murphy…

Apparently this exists.
Edited to add — To illustrate my comment above, I would much rather watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians than this.
Observation as I checkout for Xmas Eve Day: Poor dude at “organ” has no organ pedals, but his ‘muscle memory’ has his feet reaching out for them!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE! AND STAY SAFE!
Surprise Cossack sounds a bit like pogrom in the shtetl.
Eeesh! Thank God it’s not!
