    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Now that I've given it some thought, it doesn't *just* apply to "Rudolph", but seemingly other Rankin-Bass productions as well. The one that came to mind was "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town." The villain in that one was the stereotypically Bavarian 'Meisterburger,' whose followers wore German...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A little-known BBC romp called "Bernard and the Genie", a little over an hour so probably more of a TV special than a movie. Followed by a 2hr film of a stage production of BBC show "Mrs Brown's Boys"

    I'd never considered Rudolph an allegorical tale of WW2 Europe, but it does actually seem to work.......

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I noticed that as a kid too. It wasn't the only Rankin Bass romp that was unsettling. The Year Without A Santa Claus was Santa at his most dickish. One thing that got me about the Island of Misfit Toys in Rudolp, was that the doll wasn't broken or damaged in any way. I've often wondered what she...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Since there was so much buzz, watched Ballad of Buster.....and to me, it was a bust. The story left a lot to be desired, and the screenplay felt really weak, like they weren't even trying in places. Visually it's great, but visuals alone just don't do it for me. Disappointed

    If we're going to talk about Marne, let's not forget that the last German offensive of the war, which also occurred at Marne, was driven back ultimately by Ferfinand Fosch, leading to his becoming the Commander in Chief of Allied armies. By that time, Joffre was merely a distant memory

    Sharing Coconut Oil Experiences for the ladies....

    Having tried coconut oil and other things, the best I've found so far is actually a mix of two egg whites beaten with a tablespoon of coconut oil. As with everything, YMMV
