The movie "Elf" is officially the greatest thing ever. I've seen it 3 times now and each time I was feeling really crummy going in and I came out so happy it's almost sickening. I'm giddy. I'm smiling. Non-stop. I don't think anyone but Will Ferrell could have played that part so perfectly. It had every chance to be a stupid kids movie but it prevailed as a pristine piece of feel-good comedy. Many people's lives were saved thanks to "Elf's" calming affect on me. Ok, so no one's life was saved, but many inanimate objects were spared of my wrath. That is a fact.
Oh, I also saw "Citizen Kane" today in my film lab. Great film. I can now join serious discussions on film. Woohoo!
Later...
"I like to smile! Smiling's my favorite."
"SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!"
"You're not Santa. You smell like beef and cheese! You don't smell like Santa!"
"I thought maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands."
"I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel."
"Have you seen these toilets? They're GINORMOUS"
" First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we'll snuggle."
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
"I'm a cotton-headed ninny-muggins."
"SON of a NUTcracker!"
