Well, dear readers, we’re getting nearer and nearer to the festively festive Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations as we continue our Countdown to Christmas here at haineshisway.com. Shoppers are madly trying to complete their shopping endeavors, oh, yes, shoppers are madly trying to complete their shopping endeavors. You know, those last-minute shoppers who always put off their gift-buying – well, for those last-minute shoppers I have a wonderful suggestion for a gift for their true love – ten Lords a-leaping. What do you think of that, I’d like to know? That is just the gift that keeps on giving, if you ask me. Ten Lords a-leaping provides hours of entertainment value. They leap and leap, and just when you think they can leap no more, they leap again. These Lords are madcaps, leaping about like a gazelle on Jell-O. In any case, I give my highest recommendation to ten Lords a-leaping as the perfect gift for one’s true love. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
Yesterday, I saw Scent of Mystery in its bastardized cut version, entitled Holiday in Spain. I posted about it, so I don’t need to reiterate what I already iterated. I also watched part of a DVD entitled Wicker Park. Wicker Park is the American remake of a 1996 French film entitled L’Appartement. I wrote of L’Appartement several weeks ago – it is a film I really was fond of. Wicker Park, as you’d expect of a crass totally unnecessary remake hits many of the same beats, rips off shots, but still can’t tell its somewhat complex plot in a way that makes it one you can follow. The French version is always surprising, but you can figure out its plot points easily once you catch on. And then the director can’t help but tart things up with quick cutting, sudden slow motion, sudden fast motion and a sex scene that’s one of the worst-shot scenes in the history of film. I suppose I’ll try and finish it to see if they changed the ending, as I suspect they have.
What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below so we can continue to spread Christmas cheer like a fungus.
I may just buy ten Lords a-leaping for myself. I think it would be smashing to have ten leaping Lords in my very own home environment.
My little Christmas wish: To all who spread unnecessary negativity, I wish you a very merry Christmas, and hope that the new year enables you to move on and become less bitter. The world is a problematic enough place without all this extra superfluous negativity floating around in the ether. That sort of negativity tends to come back at the person spreading it, so why not be merry and gay and laugh your troubles away.
The preceding has been a public service announcement. Can you believe it’s already Wednesday? I must go to the market and buy the rest of the ingredients that I need for my Christmas “do”. And I must spread Christmas cheer like a fungus.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must grocery shop, I must mail a few items, I must pick up some packages which will hopefully be here, and I must spread Christmas cheer like a fungus. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s Ask BK Day, the day in which you get to ask me or any dear reader any old question you like and we get to give any old answer we like. So, let’s have loads of lovely questions and loads of lovely posts, whilst we have pictures of sugar plums and ten lords a-leaping in our Christmas heads.
