Thursday, December 24th, 2009 (Christmas Eve, Part III)

One final post for the day. Yes, that is Bea Arthur, as seen in the Star Wars Holiday Special. But to jump right in, I was hoping to feature it in a Short Film Sunday post, but they got away from me, so here is a link to the first of three parts of the 80's retailing of Charles Dickens' classic holiday ghost story, as told by Walt Disney's most famous creations in Mickey's Christmas Carol.

Also, here is a random scene (because I couldn't find a clip of the "... only one thing could tear me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window" scene) from A Christmas Story, and if you're reading this and it is actually Christmas Eve, for Christ's sake, turn to TBS and watch the 24-hour marathon of the most quotable movie ever made.

Finally, here is the best scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Have a great holiday season kiddos.

This picture has been floating around all over the nerdy side of the Interwebs this week to coincide with the release of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek on DVD. The picture is Abrams updated version of the salt vampire that was made for a deleted scene that also contained a new version of Gorn, which you can see on io9.

Us Magazine, a periodical that I usually would refuse to read articles from, broke a story today that Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo will reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold for a new HomeAway commercial for this year's Super Bowl, paying homage to the 1983 comedy classic National Lampoon's Vacation that will also feature the Wagon Queen Family Truckster.

It is a slow news day, and I am currently watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas on CMT, and I made a decision that the performance of "The Aggie Song" is the most unintentionally homoerotic piece of cinema in the history of the medium. Agreed?... Whatever the case, enjoy the clip.
