Muppets Christmas carol is pretty good

The Nightmare before Christmas. It’s too hard to classify the film as just a Halloween movie specifically.

I love all the Christmas carol movies

It’s A Wonderful Life…the black and white version. And also Miracle on 34th Street, again, black and white.

Die Hard for me I think. I’ve seen it every year for the past 7 years or so during the holidays. It’s on TV and I end up watching it every year.

That would be a Hanukkah movie right?

That moment where he just finds out about the money and swipes all of his building plans off his drafting table – omg, heartbreaking…

One of my favorite movies ever, in general, so I always forget to think of it as specifically Christmas or Halloween.

I can’t believe no one has made a broadway musical of it yet.

I just say that I hope there is never a remake as Tim Burton and his crew did a perfect job. The music is amazing especially the opening song.

SOOOOO good.

I’m so into that movie, I have Nightmare Before Christmas ā€œstuffā€, like t-shirts and dolls, etc. People know to buy it for me. Even my wallet – a very fancy schmancy Dooney & Burke, has Jack Skellingtons sort of discreetly created within the pattern.

I just know they made Beetlejuice a musical, so you never know. I’m disconnected from that scene, as I haven’t lived in NYC in going on 12 years, but I can’t imagine that part done well by anyone other than Michael Keaton. It would just be an imitation of his performance.

Like him too.

It’s fun to read about those theories of what Jack S did for a living when or if he was alive.

What do you think of Corpse Bride?

I like it but I think Burton’s fans expected too much. I know I did.

Beetlejiuce rocks. Didn’t know they made a musical. Sounds like fun to see though.

I didn’t love Corpse Bride. I think after Nightmare, yeah, we were all expecting too much. I saw it the one time in the theater and never again.

I saw Nightmare twice in the theater in ā€˜93 when it came out. We forget that it was not a popular movie, but slowly and steadily developed a cult following over many years.
