And that's exactly the point. I admit to being a fan of Elf and also enjoyed Blades of Glory. But the left wing shtick gets tiresome. If Hollywoodists were more even-handed in their little "gotchas," we here at BH could hardly complain. But it's quite obvious from some of the dreck coming out of the studios that they hold "red staters," "conservatives," "wing nuts," "bitter clingers" - whatever the name du jour is - in the highest contempt and think nothing of trashing their values onscreen, leaving it to the viewer to discover it only AFTER they've spent their hard-earned cash on a night out.

To expand on a point read elsewhere: As for the fact that bankers are targeted, I offer that crooked financiers are a problem. But they are ALWAYS portrayed as conservatives. Will George Soros, who has toppled the economies of more than one nation, be parodied in the near future? Somehow I doubt it because he is a big funder of leftwing causes. And lest we forget, some of these banks were actually told "take TARP funds or else" by the feds.http://www.judicialwatch.org/news/2009/may/judici...

I should have mentioned that in the article. Wonder what the brains behind this film think about that?

I agree with Forensic Files being at the top of the heap. I watch it regularly. But some other good ones that should be added to the list are "The Real NCIS," "Forensics: You Decide" and "Solved," all on Investigation Discovery. I also like "Wicked Attraction," but that's not so much about the crime solving as the crime spree.

Not only do I think he thinks he looks presidential, but also somewhat godlike. If he were overweight, I'd chalk it up to him trying to hide a double chin, but as that's not the case...

Overkill, sure - but I haven't seen it yet! :-)

Thanks for the tip; maybe I'll check it out tonight! I see it's on at 10:15 Eastern...

I haven't seen this in years - now I feel I must rush out to either rent or buy!

Absolutely one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time...glad it made the cut. I've always loved the Muppets, and you're right - Caine does a great job playing the straight man amongst a bunch of fuzzy creatures.

Do you mean this Janet Jackson classy moment back in September 2008?

I couldn't complain about on Big Hollywood it because Big Hollywood didn't exist back then. But for the record, I think it's rude and crude no matter who does it. And another point is that it didn't happen on an awards show broadcast during prime time on a national (non-cable) network, where anyone - including young children - could be watching. See? I was right. By criticizing the incident, I am automatically branded a homophobe. Ah well. Seems some folks will never be happy until there are no boundaries anywhere and we all just do as we please...

John Lee Hancock:
After completing the movie and playing it for an audience I realized it was, for some, more of a laugh, and a cheap one to boot. I do regret not coming up with something more clever.

Decoder ring:
My friends and I still think it's funny, but as I've been called on it by a few angry conservatives, I'll close the door after the horse is out of the barn by giving a "heartfelt" apology to those who might have been offended...

She complained in the first linked interview that other women call her a slut. I was just pointing out - in a tongue in cheek manner - that if that's true, she shouldn't worry about it based on her own views on how being a merchandised "sex symbol" product in Hollywood is not degrading but empowering.
