40 Days of Halloween! (Sept. 23rd) Day 2: Adorable Spider & Owl! 🕷️🦉 [That’s all. Just this adorable spider and owl. Aren’t they adorable?] 🎃 • • • • • • #40daysOfHalloween #Day2 #AdorableSpiderAndOwl #adorableSpider #adorableOwl #SpiderAndOwl #spider #owl #stuffedAnimalSpider #stuffedAnimalOwl #wrongNumberOfEyes #wrongNumberOfLegs #arentTheyAdorable #Halloween #iLoveHalloween #AllHallowsEve #Samhain #Fall #Autumn (#theBestSeason) #MattyHorror #HalloweenAllYear #happyhalloween (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CULt4XMLwja/?utm_medium=tumblr

I will continue to point out every year that this film's overall quality and place as a classic is tarnished by the inexcusable inclusion of that blackface number (that I just fast forward through). It may be a "product of its time" or whatever, but racism is racism, and 1942 was as racist a time as many. ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 54: Holiday Inn 🎞️ That said, it is otherwise of course a very charming classic, and introduced the song White Christmas to the world (and Bing Crosby singing White Christmas went on to become the highest selling single of all time, so, that's something). Also, Bing's voice, Fred's dancing...just a lot of *swoon* (though I do get irritated with Fred Astaire being a jerk in the movie sometimes). ⛄ • • • • • #HolidayInn #1942 #IrvingBerlinsHolidayInn #IrvingBerlin #BingCrosby (#thatVoiceTho) #FredAstaire (#ThatDancingTho) #MarjorieReynolds #VirginiaDale #WhiteChristmas #BlackfaceIsNeverOK #RacismRuinsThingsAgain #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXZ5MJTtGfR/?utm_medium=tumblr

And now right back to the (comparatively) modern era again, with this charming entry. ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 48:  Elf 🎞️ Seriously, this movie is very charming (and funny), and another great cast. A cast that includes Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from A Christmas Story) as an elf, the incomparable Bob Newhart as Papa Elf, and the late, great Ed Asner as Santa Claus. Also it was directed by Jon Favreau. (Oh and Leon Redbone, who sang the theme song of Mr. Belvedere, as a snowman named Leon.) ⛄ • • • • • #Elf #2003 (#ElfMovie) #WillFerrell #ZooeyDeschanel (#swoon ) #EdAsner #JamesCaan #BobNewhart #MarySteenburgen #JonFavreau #LeonRedbone #PeterDinklage (but like, also Faizon Love, Amy Sedaris, Andy Richter, Kyle Gass, Michael Lerner, Peter Billingsley, Artie Lange...) #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXXVTtvtbVd/?utm_medium=tumblr

From a movie that managed to look much older than it actually was, onto to a couple more movies that actually are older. Though starting with one that was from the end of Frank Capra's career. ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 46:  Pocketful of Miracles 🎞️ Frank Capra's last film was actually a remake of one of his much earlier films, Lady for a Day-- though Pocketful of Miracles is, of course, set at Christmastime (and also, a better movie). Peter Falk really steals the show, but Bette Davis is definitely the star (and I can't help but notice she's got Betty Davis eyes). ⛄ • • • • • #PocketfulOfMiracles #1961 (#FrankCaprasPocketfulOfMiracles) #FrankCapra #BetteDavis #PeterFalk #AnnMargret #EdwardEverettHorton #ThomasMitchell #SheldonLeonard #GlennFord #HopeLange #ArthurOConnell #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXXOh4GrBeH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well, back on the regular marathon with another one I've never seen before, though I have my fears I may regret this... ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 43:  Fred Claus 🎞️ I've watched about 42 minutes of it as I type this, and while I've definitely seen worse, I am also indeed regretting this at least somewhat so far... ⛄ • • • • • #FredClaus #2007 #VinceVaughn #PaulGiamatti #RachelWeisz #MirandaRichardson #ElizabethBanks #KathyBates #JohnMichaelHiggins #SomeAbusiveCreep #WaitTheySpent100MillionOnTHIS? #Ludacris #iWillProbablyRegretThis    #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXVCvteNjdf/?utm_medium=tumblr

And now it's time for another side-step, a side-step through time and space... It's all of the Doctor Who Christmas Episodes, because, why not? ❄️ 🎄Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021! Doctor Who Side-step🎄 💿 Episode 1: The Feast of Steven [1st Doctor, 1965] Episode 2: The Unquiet Dead [9th Doctor, 2005] Episode 3: The Christmas Invasion [10th Doctor, 2005] Episode 4: The Runaway Bride [10th Doctor, 2006] Episode 5: Voyage of the Damned [10th Doctor, 2007] Episode 6: The Next Doctor [10th Doctor, 2008] Episode 7: The End of Time Part One [10th Doctor, 2009] Episode 8: A Christmas Carol [11th Doctor, 2010] Episode 9: The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe [11th Doctor, 2011] Episode 10: The Snowmen [11th Doctor, 2012] Episode 11: The Time of the Doctor [11th Doctor, 2013] Episode 12: Last Christmas [12th Doctor, 2014] Episode 13: The Husbands of River Song [12th Doctor, 2015] Episode 14: The Return of Doctor Mysterio [12th Doctor, 2016] Episode 15: Twice Upon a Time [12th Doctor, 2017] 🎞️ A Couple Notes: •The 1st Doctor addresses the audience directly at the end of The Feast of Steven, which is unique (& it's the only Christmas episode of the entire "classic" years). •The 9th Doctor's episode, The Unquiet Dead, unfairly gets left off of listings of the Christmas episodes, which is silly. •In general the episodes are, unsurprisingly, of varying quality. ⛄ • • • • • #DoctorWho #TheFeastOfSteven #1965 #TheUnquietDead #TheChristmasInvasion #2005 #TheRunawayBride #2006 #VoyageOfTheDamned #2007 #TheNextDoctor #2008 #TheEndOfTimePartOne #2009 #aChristmasCarol2010 #TheDoctorTheWidowAndTheWardrobe #2011 #TheSnowmen2012 #TheTimeOfTheDoctor #2013 #LastChristmas2014 #TheHusbandsOfRiverSong #2015 #TheReturnOfDoctorMysterio #2016 #TwiceUponATime #2017 #HolidayMovieAsplosion2021DoctorWhoSideStep #christmasEpisodes #abluchristmas (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXK_SPArBel/?utm_medium=tumblr

Continuing with the romantic comedies, this one has elements in common with Love Actually, though is more contained (and certainly less expansive in cast). ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 42:  The Holiday 🎞️ I used to feel like this was some sort of somewhat lesser alternative to Love Actually, but I have come to like it more of the two. Also unbelievable, also predictably schmaltzy, but quite charming, and effective at getting the feels, even when they're very easy to see coming. Also, Eli Wallach is brilliant; he is a gem who deserves to be appreciated more. And it was nice to see Jack Black as one of the romantic leads without them making anything of the fact that he looks like Jack Black (as opposed to looking like the so-called "traditional" romantic lead "type" 🙄). ⛄ • • • • • #TheHoliday #2006 #KateWinslet #JackBlack #JudeLaw #CameronDiaz #EliWallach #ShannynSossamon #EdwardBurns #RufusSewell #HalDouglas #JohnKrasinski #NancyMeyers    #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon        (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXKYKLTt6Df/?utm_medium=tumblr

In a very different direction (though still in 4K), it's another that might not immediately be remembered as a Christmas movie, but definitely is. ❄️ 🎄I'll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie 'Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 40: Batman Returns 🎞️ What a great movie. If one hasn't seen it in a while, there's a tendency to forget things about it, probably because it's a Batman movie sequel, and also already has so many absurd things about it. But aside from the whole Christmas setting that people often forget, it also manages to be a darker movie than the first one. Also, even watching it each year, I keep forgetting that it's just over 2 hours long. A few things I will never forget though, Danny DeVito's absolutely amazing Penguin, Michelle Pfeiffer's purrfect Catwoman, and Christopher Walken being just hilariously Christopher Walken. ⛄ • • • • • #BatmanReturns #1992 #MichaelKeaton #DannyDeVito #MichellePfeiffer #ChristopherWalken #MichaelGough #PatHingle #VincentSchiavelli #DannyElfman #TimBurton #UHD #4K #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXIAziXtjU9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I like this movie, and I want to like it more, but for the couple notably problematic moments that absolutely did not age well… ( …and for that matter shouldn’t have been there then either, let alone not aging well.) ❄️ 🎄I’ll Have a Blu Christmas Holiday Movie ‘Asplosion 2021!🎄 💿 Chapter 36: Trading Places 🎞️ It has an amazing cast, and is pretty hilarious, and also, Jamie Lee Curtis (*swoon*). But that said, I can’t exactly look past the discomfort of the casual use of homophobic slur for a cheap joke (twice), and absolutely can’t look past the godawful and entirely unnecessary part where Dan Aykroyd disguises as some sort of rastafarian stereotype…🙄 ⛄ • • • • • #TradingPlaces #1983 #EddieMurphy #JamieLeeCurtis #DanAykroyd #DonAmeche #DenholmElliott #RalphBellamy #PaulGleason #FrankOz #JohnLandis (unfortunate #problematic parts that definitely #DidntAgeWell) #illHaveABluChristmasHolidayMovieAsplosion2021 #iLoveMovies #christmasmovies #holidaymovies #xmas #christmasspecials #holidayfilms #holidays #movies #christmas #iLoveChristmas #blurays #bluray #MovieNerd #abluchristmas #christmasfilms #christmasmoviemarathon (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/mattyhorror/p/CXFkV0pt6jA/?utm_medium=tumblr
