Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal

"A Christmas Carol" (1938)
"Yes! Yes I do! I like Christmas! I love Christmas!" — Ebenezer Scrooge

Christmas is treated with way more holiday cheer in the west than Diwali here, in the East. Which is why there is a completely different genre for films in Hollywood known as Holiday Films or Christmas Movies. From the impractical wants as presents


 "A Christmas Story" (1983)
Ralphie (Peter Billingsley): "No! No! I want an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!"

Santa Claus: "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."  
To the racists “And may all your Christmases be white. Merry Christmas!" – White Christmas, and to the addicts "You’re skipping Christmas! Isn’t that against the law?" — Spike Frohmeyer – Christmas with The Kranks
Holiday movies are for all “them” personalities.



Starting with ELF (2003), Will Ferrel playing a child human raised by elves, visiting New York to meet his biological dad, can perhaps get on your nerves probably because a child like human gets on everybody’s nerves!!!

 HOME ALONE 1,2,3,4… All are worth DYING for!!
From the famous hand-cupping cheeks scene to the smart and sassy robbers Home Alone has made even made my mother happy!! (Now that’s rare)!!
"This is extremely important. Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back. No toys. Nothing but Peter, Kate, Buzz, Megan, Linnie, and Jeff. And my aunt and my cousins. And if he has time, my Uncle Frank. Okay?" — Kevin McCallister


A story of how George was stopped from committing suicide by his guardian angel. Sounds pathetic but “Its a Wonderful Life” actually the most touching film on this list. If I could sit through the whole film then anybody can!! (It’s certainly not the best film directed by Mr. Italy here) (And yes he is Italian)
"Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!" — George Bailey

What on planet earth is cuter than Charlie Brown and Peanuts???? And extra smart Einstein friends of course
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965)
"Look, Charlie, let’s face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It’s run by a big Eastern syndicate, you know." — Lucy Van Pel
This CB movie is EPIC and deserves tons of respect for being on this “ belle liste “
Holiday films are nowhere as close to entertaining us as the Victoria’s Secret Holiday Commercial. But who cares??? They don’t bring us into tears of joy and happiness (unless you’re a part of the commercial and you made abig deal out of it, because HELLO its VS) they don’t make us feel that family more important than anything else in this entire world (except food and unlimited wifi) and well a lot of other things that I don not know because im not that sentimental in life. END OF STORY.


"The Santa Clause" (1994)
Little Girl: Santa?

Scott Calvin: Scott Calvin.

Little Girl: How come your clothes are so baggy?

Scott Calvin: Because Santa is … watching his saturated fats.

Little Girl: How come you don't have a beard?

Scott Calvin: Because I shaved! You want this doll or not? Go back to sleep

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

-
Image
The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
