So, just today at a local store I saw their Christmas movie selection, and they had the original A Christmas Story on sale for $27. And apparently they were selling rather well according to the salesperson I asked.
Right next to it for about $5 they had the, ugh, 'sequel' -- A Christmas Story 2 AKA 'A fifteen-year-old tries to get laid for Christmas'. And yes, that's the plot.
I could try describing this awful film but you know what? This link does it much better than I ever could hope to: www.wrestlecrap.com/inductions…
I will only say one thing. At one point Frankie needs to get a single dollar to pay off some damages, so he asks his friend Schwartz, a nondescript Jew -- don't look at me like that, that's how he gets described in the film -- for a dollar. Schwartz refuses to give it up. Why? Because it's a dollar and he's a Jew, that's why. I think I almost fell out of my seat when I saw that.
Stay classy, Hollywood!

Tiny Texas Tyrannosaurs and Hairy Ceratosaurs
Well, I was reading one of the books by that LeMay fellow, he of the 'Cowboys & Saurians' series, and he did raise an interesting point about some supposed 'dinosaur sightings' that he traced back to the original 1930s newspaper accounts. Some of the accounts were dated as late as the 1980's and 90's, occasionally with over a dozen witnesses. They described what can only be called 5'-6' tall Tyrannosaurs, mostly seen in west Texas and Colorado, running at high rates of speed alongside roads or sometimes through the countryside. The thing is, they are described as running with their bodies held perpendicular to the ground, heads outstretched, and their tails sticking out behind. Which is how current scientific theory thinks dinosaurs ran. But at the time it was believed that dinosaurs walked upright and dragged their tails. If you've ever seen the 1933 King Kong or any stop-motion dinosaur movie by Ray Harryhausen, you know what I mean. He argues this makes for a slightly greater
Raven, The Foxwoman by Hedningarna
A song I first heard years ago and still great, not least for the creepy tone to it. I still think it describes the foxwoman luring someone away into the forest where no one can hear as she devours her prey. The song proper: And the lyrics in English: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/r%C3%A4ven-fox-fox-woman.html With some shared for those who don't want to chase after them: Red lips hide your teeth and your tongue is so coarse Fire and frost are in your eyes are you a woman or a fox? Wild and sly you hunt in time of darkness long sleeves hide your claws with your prey you play your mouth is red with blood You are wild and frighteningly beautiful skirt barely hides your tail Luring deeper into the woodlands with your mad wild animal's dance Just when your clothes fall and I see your naked frame you laugh and open your jaws and give me deep bites of love Good work, isn't it? Makes me wish someone did a horror movie based on this.

The Pottstown Screamer
Was reading up again on real-life monster stories. Especially the ones from the 70's that ended in 'monster hunts' with dozen to hundreds of people swarming the nearby wilderness, guns and hunters both well loaded and looking to blast the first 'monster' they saw. Places as wide apart as Bladenboro, NC; Louisiana, MO; Fontana, CA; and Fouke, AR, ended up playing unwilling host to literally hundreds of men out for the 'monster'. In many cases the temporary population of monster hunters and reporters was literally bigger than the town's normal population -- the 1957 hunt for the Beast of Bladenboro lead to a town of 700-800 people getting invaded by 1,200 would-be monster hunters. Rewards were also often offered -- a Texas oilman supposedly put up a $5 million reward for the Fouke Monster, alive, and $1 million for it dead. The woods around Fouke were soon echoing to the sound of gunfire all night long, and the local sheriff had to deal with enraged local farmers who came in to complain

Ah yes, I remember when the Nostalgia Critic rightfully and thoroughly tore this drek a new one.
