Whatcha Watchin'?

Great pick! During our holiday movie marathon a few years back, this was my entry and I was both thrilled to share and mortified by the damper it put on the whole party. :sob: No regrets.

I’m a little late to this, but for the past few decades I’ve hosted a yearly watch party featuring the 1970 version of Scrooge - starring Albert Finney, Alec Guinness, Edith Evans, Suzanne Neve, Kenneth More, and many other heavy hitters from stage and screen.

One of my favorite musicals of all time.

So, I’ve just starting watching Fallout.
45 mins in episode one, so far, so good.
But, who the fuck is this little guy? -

I know I’ve seen it before on maybe some webtoon or other…

ETA: It’s so strikingly familiar, I am kicking myself for not recognising it.
Can’t be XKCD.
Could it be SMBC?

Vault Boy! He is the mascot of Vault-Tec in the Fallout universe, and has appeared all over the interwebs. TIL that he was partly based on the Monopoly man.

Wow!
I’ve seen him for ages.
Most likely the toon I’m thinking of referenced this, rather than vice-versa.

But thanks.

They did such an excellent job capturing the style of a 50s style character, I remember the very first time I had seen him I wondered where I recognized him from. :slight_smile:

We have tickets to see Flow on Sunday!

Also, if you haven’t seen Wild Robot, you should. It was both gorgeous and engaging. Had some tears

Rare Exports; A Christmas Tale. I love this movie so much and watch it every Christmas but I won’t even try to explain what it’s about. Check out the trailer on YouTube.
