Christmas at the Movies: Trailers!

[AcidDragon]

Hahaha! What the heck? That Elves movie can't be real. I've got to watch that as a bonus feature now.

You can't come up with an idea like this and it not be a movie, lol.

"The elf is the central figure in a modern-day Neo-Nazi plot to finally bring about the master race with which Hitler had always dreamed of conquering the world. Rather than a race of pure-blood Aryans, it is revealed that Hitler instead dreamed of a race of half-human/half-elf hybrids" because they can conquer the world through cobbling an army of shoes while humans sleep? Building toys? Making cookies?

I feel bad for Grizzly Adams watching that trailer. He must've been really hard-up for roles in the late 80s.

Another coincidence. I suggest that you see the Agency. I never knew about Elves and it's real. I know a ton of Hitler and his experiments and so forth. When I saw that trailer...these popped up too




Tomorrow I'm going to start the Santa Clause Trilogy with Tim Allen

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, I came across those too but they lack the cheesy awfulness of the 1989 trailer, lol.

IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE I see, 1989 was some year. I never knew about White Reindeer either.

So here we go with the Santa Clause Trilogy. It's fairly good one. I'm starting with the first one for today. Now I have a special connection to the first one and I will appreciate it if you follow Me here. You don't have to acknowledge this, just read it Only people who have experience the same things as I have will probably only really know what this was like. So, I'm sure you recall what I said in My Odds & Ends about Kindergarten Cop that when I got bad sick that changed My life forever in early 1994, then you know that it was the only movie that fit My frame of mind and I watched it over & over at Cardinal Glennon Hospital. My Grandma MiMi kept on renting it for Me over at Star Video which again, they were good people and eventually My Grandma bought the VHS from them which you can see in My all-crucial Odds & Ends. As a side note, next year will be that great film's 35th Anniversary so I plan on doing a special spotlight on it over at PB's regular Movie Trailer Topic. Now, here's something else that I've mentioned before. Fast forward to the Summer of 95, I was well but had a lot of health problems and was at St. Louis Children's Hospital which I have shown in My Showcases because I won many things thru their Bingo plus I met celebs as well. I had said before that Angels in the Outfield is one that I really liked because I saw it for the first time and I watched it many times there plus I saw Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back a lot too which really gave Me that edge of Star War becuas eit was really coming back. I wanted to see Darth Vader so bad in The Indian in the Cupboard as I saw the trailers many times on the Hospital's TVs but couldn't make it to the show. They had their own little library of VHS Tapes there and those were My GO TO MOVIES. So, fast forward to October, I got bad sick then in November...I fell in a coma (I explained a lot in My Star Wars Collection Topic & Baseball Showcase in My Odds & Ends a while back). This really affected My family a ton, keep in mind I'm only 14 years old here. Nobody knew why this happen then My Grandma put 2 + 2 together and the doctors were arguing about it but she wouldn't let it go so long story short...she was 1000000000% correct...this happen because of a new, experimental medicine that the doctor gave Me. They pumped it out of Me and I woke up a few days later After that, the doctor the left the hospital never to be seen again. I've been to hell & back more times than I can count. So, while I was waking up, I barley met Ronald McDonald...the same guy/actor you see in the classic 80s & 90s commercial plus The St. Louis Cardinals Mascot Fredbird. I was more awake as I met two St. Louis Cardinals...Tom Pagnozzi & Bernard Gilkey. You can see My Autographs in My Odds & Ends from last year. Like I said before, you never know what I'm going to say & post...it's always best to check out My showcases Now what does this have to do with The Santa Clause you ask Well, after I was completely awake from My coma, I was in the ICU and I could barley move. I had to see physical theosophists often. While I was getting better, they had movies there too...one of them was 1994's The Santa Clause which I never seen before I watched it several times because I was there for a long while. I really liked it...it was kinda like Kindergarten Cop 2.0 for Me. Now, with all of that info known...here's My little spotlight of the movie that's has it's 30th Anniversary this year as I type this



So, Tm Allen is a business executive...



of course he doesn't have the time for his son and is divorced from his wife Wendy Crewson that makes a debacle for his little boy...



as Judge Reinhold is her other love interest.



So, about Christmas Time, there's a trespasser and falls to his death when Tim Allen tried to stop him...he realized it was actually Santa Claus with his Reindeer





So, he meets the elves and told the history of Santa and that there is "a clause" when you become one....Allen is now to become "Santa Clause"






He gives the spirit of Christmas to his little boy to a whole new level




Here's the trailer, you can tell that movies were changing since 93



Here's this music video by Yello



Tomorrow will be a double header to fulfill the trilogy

[packerbacker180]

Well, I'm glad you made it through all of that and are still here with us This place wouldn't be the same with you (I'd be talking to myself). The Santa Clause is terrific. 2 is eh. 3 I can't even watch. I've discussed my dislike of Martin Short in previous rants. I've softened on him in recent years, but that's still a movie I won't watch.

[BrandonDaCollector]

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well thanks very much Packer, I appreciate that you appreciate Me here A lot of times I think how it would have been if didn't get sick but that is just only a brief sample of the hell I've gone thru, like I said, I've been to hell & back more times than I can count but I'm grateful that I've pulled thru. I never seen nor knew about Stalag 17, that looked good. Yes, I recall you talking about Martin Short but not so much about the sequels. The last time I saw these movies including the first Santa Clause was in the mid 2000s with My Grandma MiMi when the third one came out. Well, here's My double feature finale for Christmas

The Santa Clause 2 from 2002.





The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause from 2006.
