All right. Listen up, guys...
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except...
The four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation.

Bob Clark is in both Black Christmas and A Christmas Story
One I just discovered last night. Christine Baranski who played Martha May Whovier in How The Grinch Stole Christmas was also in A Bad Mom's Christmas.
Funny enough, she plays almost the same type of character in both movies.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Has anyone watched Silent Night yet? Just watched it last night. It wasn't anything like what I was expecting but I did enjoy it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

If we're including TV cartoon specials:

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
The Year Without A Santa Claus
Twas The Night Before Christmas
Frosty The Snowman
Frosty's Winter Wonderland (the one with Mrs. Frosty)
Jack Frost
Yes, Virginia (the peerless Neil Patrick Harris)
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Episodes of animated TV shows, but they're like specials to me:
Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation! (45 minutes of greatness; maybe you need to be familiar with P&F to get all of it, but it's great)
A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas (standard 15 minute P&F episode, not at the level of the 45-minute one, but fine nevertheless)
On the list but never found time for:
The Man Who Invented Christmas
A Christmas Carol (1984, George C. Scott)
A Christmas Carol (1999, Patrick Stewart)
Deck The Halls (Matthew Broderick, Danny DeVito)
Frosty's Return (the one with "summer wheeze" and Brian Doyle-Murray; the real reason this didn't make the cut is that my family hates this with a raging passion)
Ones I want to watch but don't own and TV now refuses to run them:
Cranberry Christmas (featuring music from Barry Manilow - he doesn't rate TV? Come on.)
Eloise At Christmastime (Julie Andrews? Yeah, who is she anyway...)
It was just before dawn
- one miserable morning in black 'forty four...
Let me know what you think if you watch it Ricky!

I watched it last night and thought it was really well done. It did a great job seamlessly transitioning from the comedy/party/Christmas elements to the more darker and depressing ones. I don't know why, but I found it really upsetting. I think I just picked the wrong time to watch it. I'm on Day 5 of isolation with COVID and a lot of the elements/moods in the film hit just a little too close to home at this particular moment. (Don't worry, I'm not dying.) I guess that's the mark of a good film when it elicits such a strong emotional response.
Yeah, I think dark comedy is a good category.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
It's definitely not a happy feel good movie, that's for sure. For some reason it kinda reminded me of that movie with the red lights (blanking on the name). Not sure why as they were quite different but it almost had a similar feel to it.
And I hope you feel better soon!

Ah, The Invitation! Is that what you're thinking of? I kind of got Coherence vibes even though the only similarities were friends getting together and bad things happen.
