In motion it’s, somehow, even worse.

Looks like something taken out of David Lynch’s movie. 
I saw that “Sacco and Vancetti” will come to BluRay in Japan. Maybe a harbinger. Also, in Spain a bootleg BluRay of “the Jericho mile” is listed, now I am hoping for a legit release somewhere else. it is a fantastic movie

I’ve just seen a few of the UK BBC TV programmes planned for Christmas…
What a load of CRAP!
Mostly repeats of films aired numerous times already throughout the year; excretable ‘comedy’, dire, depressing soap-operas (‘Egg-Benders’ and ‘Contipation Street’); and regurgitated dross featuring today’s ‘so-called’ celebrities.
Ironically, the only real high-lights are repeats of ‘Morecambe & Wise’, ‘The Two Ronnies’, Dad’s Army’ etc - the oldies that used to make the Festive period ‘special’, and a happy, joyous period, and not a slog of ‘shite-a-la-croute’ that passes (quite literally through the anus) for entertainment nowadays.
Thank goodness for having my own collection of festive frivolity and sweet ever-lasting memories…
This year in my little side room, replete with TV, tree, hot-water bottle, Quality Street sweeties, nuts, and several bottles of beer and wine, I will be watching:

I’m with you there @Toscano, I stick strictly to my DVDs and Blu Rays for the Christmas season. Turner Classic Movies shows some good stuff every season which is an exception to the rule.
I always start out my season with Una Pistola per Ringo and go on from there.
Earlier this week I watched the Indicator Blu Ray of Cash on Demand with Peter Cushing and Andre Morell and had a lot of fun with it. I’m still not sure if it counts as a Christmas film even though it does take place 2 days before the holiday and the character’s constantly reference the season.
Boris Karloff’s The Grinch and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation are my favorites.

It’s not surprising, almost no one watches movies on tv stations anymore… basically only the elderly… so their budgets for rights and whatnot is going to be very limited.

A quick glance at the TV schedules for New Year’s Day afternoon: shows BBC2 going with a double bill of ‘The Searchers’ and ‘The Man Who Would Be King’, or if you don’t mind the commercial breaks, there’s ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ on Channel 4.

Not bad, and probably HD also, but ‘The Man Who Would Be King’, will be edited for graphic violence and supposedly offensive language … 1970s Telly shows with 1970s attitudes to morality and profanity, for that warm Christmas feeling

Hi amigos, just wanted to update everyone after so many of you sent me kind words over this post.
A few days ago I got accepted into my a full time graduate job after nearly a year or hard searching and I’m so excited to start in January. And now today I bought my first ever car, after saving up and for years.
I’m still not feeling 100% emotionally - I think it’ll take a long long time for that - but I feel like a new chapter of my life is starting and it’s very exciting.
Thanks again for looking out for me folks.

Just found this on ‘Youtube’…‘Kelly’s Heroes’, Clint and Don are so wonderful in this…
I love the bit at 3.00, where Clint creases up when Don mentions the nine year old Brian Hutton…
Beautiful memories from a mere 53 years ago…

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Don’t forget to leave milk and cookies out for Santa Klaus tonight (and select a good hiding spot so he - hopefully - won’t find you).

Not sure I’d be thrilled for a visit from Santa Kinski, I’d keep a baseball bat handy.
