thanks a lot! Merry Christmas, everybody!

Me me me! 1st post on page 2. Lovely movie :D

I just watched Daddy's Home last night and I enjoyed it. Yes, it does have a low Rotten Tomatoes rating but I think it's a fun Christmas movie. Might watch the sequel later tonight. lol

As the Christmas week rolls in, I wish everyone, hosts and participants alike, Merry Festivities with warm companionship (whether in person or remote as the current needs require) and lots gaming fun ^^ And as an extra help, may the movies, series and games we love usher in the season's spirit, bringing us closer to others in shared likes!

Gettin nuttin' for Christmas? Unacceptable! Santa does not approve.

Even Dennis managed to stay off the naughty list this year.

It's not a leg lamp, but Santa left something in your stocking.

Is it "fra-gi-lé"?

Mesmerizing! Thx! :)

Today was the Lottery event that I mentioned in my first post. I've been working from home but I had to attend a few conference calls so I wasn't able to follow the Lottery as much as other years.

In other news, I'm still as poor (or as rich!) as I was yesterday. C'est la vie. At least now it feels like Christmas has truly begun.

Has anyone mentioned the new Santa Clause movie "Fatman" starring Mel Gibson as Santa Clause? I saw it recently, and thought it was kinda meh. The movie is billed as a "dark comedy action film" and is about a man named Chris Cringle (aka Santa) who has recently been upset with how the world's youth have been getting worse making bad choices in their lives. Then he finds out that the government is pulling their funding from the North Pole so now he won't be able to pay his little elf helpers. So to keep the elves paid during the off-season he works a deal with the government to make weapons for the U.S. military (Yikes. So much for Santa being country neutral. Guess we own the man in the red suit. :D ). Elsewhere, a rich spoiled child gets upset with a block of coal he receives on Christmas so he hires a hitman to kill Santa. The hitman that the kid hires also has beef with the "Fatman" so it becomes mutually beneficial for him to take the job. The majority of the movie is spent between Chris Cringle working with the government and the hitman on his bloody road trip to find Santa. The actual showdown doesn't take place till near the end of the movie. Definitely not a movie for the kids but it does offer a different perspective on how Santa would fit in the real world if he were bound to the laws and rules of government.

I give this movie a 3 out of 5. The comedy portion was light on the chuckles and the action was very little. Mostly liked it for its original take on a realistic Santa.

Thank you so much and have a Merry Christmas.
