Every holiday season I watch 25 Christmas/Christmas adjacent movies from December 1st through the 25th! I also draw one thing from each movie. For my first post here this is one I am particularly proud of! “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”

December Day 12: Movie(s) 🎞️
#KimickaPhotoADay
“Daddy’s gonna kill Ralphie! 😭” (My dad’s favorite quote lol)
Two Christmas classics, lol. Though A Christmas Story is NOT my favorite (but I don’t hate it as much as my mom does), but my dad tortures us with it & the TBS marathon every year, lol.

A Christmas Miracle Comes for Trudy Kockenlocker
Many a cinephile enjoy debating what films merit the definition for a holiday movie. Ever since Preston Sturges directed THE MIRACLE of MORGAN’S CREEK (1944), the controversy surrounding the film was less focused on whether it’s a Christmas movie, but more on the shock that it ever passed the production code under Breen’s watchful eyes. Written and directed by the king of screwball comedies,…

They should make a Home Alone re-make where everyone is the same age in the original movie except Kevin who is played by John Mulany walking around on his knees and no one acknowledges it except the burglars who constantly say he looks a little old for a ten year old

Blu Christmas Holiday Movie Asplosion 2022! ⛄ Chapter 35: A Christmas Story 🦌 And back to another that I've seen my whole life, but is new to 4K. Probably the only good movie made from Jean Shepherd's semi-fictional though autobiographically inspired "Parker Family Saga" (apparently a name to encompass them all), I'd like to point out again that this seminal holiday classic was directed by Bob Clark, who also directed "Black Christmas", which is about as far as you can get from A Christmas Story, aside from the season. I'm saying nothing new about the movie itself (it's become a classic for a reason, it's very quotable, the highlight is the dad), but I will say the 4K transfer is, like many of these, pretty good. It looks as good as it ever has, while still retaining that look of somehow feeling like it was from the 40s even though it was made in the 80s. I'll probably always be impressed be that. 🌲 ❄️ 🎄 🎅 #AChristmasStory #1983 #DarrenMcGavin #MelindaDillon #PeterBillingsley #BobClark #JeanShepherd #YouUsedUpAllTheGlueOnPurpose #YoullShootYourEyeOutKid #FragileItMustBeItalian #groutshellfrattenhousesticklefifer! #BluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2022 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #4K #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon . https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0Lc4eO5k9qrfu3kZQpU_VT6uO_UL1mcyzRd00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cobra (1986)
Tumblr media
Cobra is one crazy movie. It’s absurdly violent, at times nonsensical, badly written, and so over-the-top you can’t believe they took it seriously. This film is so busy trying to convince us that legislation and proper procedures get in the way of true justice it becomes hilarious.
Sylvester Stallone is officer Marion “Cobra” Cobretti, a cop so bold all he needs to defeat crime is for those who believe in “due process”, “innocent until proven guilty” and “nonlethal force” to stand out of the way. When model Ingrid Knudsen (Brigitte Nielsen) witnesses a savage attack by a cult of ax-wielding maniacs who believe in a New World Order, she is placed in protective custody. With the cult's leader (Brian Thompson as the Night Slasher) hell-bent on slaughtering her, Cobra is Marion’s only hope.
What a misfire. Even if it were true that police officers could clean up the streets in five minutes if they were given free rein, this film would fail to convince you. Cobra has no grasp on reality whatsoever. Violent crimes may happen every day, some of them might be senseless and random… but how many are committed by one-dimensional villains like the ones we meet here? This feels like it was written by an angsty teenager who just finished reading a newspaper article about a murderer going free due to lack of evidence. It’s a fantasy in which the muscle-bound hero is never punished or even reprimanded because he's surrounded by limp-wristed softies with broomsticks up their asses.
Cutting the legs from under the picture is its own staggering body count. While Jason Voorhees may have butchered 146 people on-screen, that’s over 12 films. Cobra kills 41 in just a few days. The man makes a career of tracking down bad guys. They must have entire fields dedicated to the suspects he’s tracked down!
What cements Cobra as a film that’s so bad it’s good is its earnestness. Sylvester Stallone stars and wrote the screenplay. Director George P. Cosmatos went on to direct Tombstone, about a group of cowboys who decide to bring justice to a small town by the way of the gun. They believed in this picture. They wanted to lure people into the theatre with the promise of violence and action while teaching you a lesson. They wanted to change the way you think. Every antagonist is so slimy, every effort to make Cobra cool is so obvious it winds up having the opposite effect. Whether it's a would-be frightening scene or action-packed exchanges of gunfire, it all becomes hysterical as you count down the number of people sent to their graves. You keep waiting for that weird scene with the robots (don't ask) to pay off… and it doesn’t, making the film a blast to watch alone, but even more entertaining to see with friends that have no idea what they’re getting into.
As a bonus, Cobra is set around Christmas time - obviously to make its violence even more shocking. I’ve heard it used to run longer and was Rated X before it was trimmed down to accommodate more screenings upon its initial release. That original version is what I want for Christmas this year. There’s no better way to describe this Stallone picture than to pull a quote directly from the movie: “This thing’s so far out of control I don’t know where to start”. (On Blu-ray, December 2, 2016)

When I worked at Suncoast Video, I was tormented by seekers of the Deluxe Talkboy cassette recorder with voice changer, created for "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" by Tiger Electronics. I tell the full retail tale in my recent podcast about the movie that launched Toymageddon in a NJ back-alley:
https://retroist.com/retroist-home-alone-2-podcast/
But who could blame the eager would-be buyers? I mean, this toy had it all: Easy one hand operation! Voice change slow motion switch! Includes two-sided tape with "real" lines from the movie! Built-in retractable microphone! Fun to use!
“What kind of hotel allows a child to check-in alone?” A hotel fooled by a Talkboy. A great toy from a great movie. Get one today and start creating your own practical jokes with hilarious phrases from the movie!
