Merry Christmas, Jack. This is my 10th year since my own caregiving days ended, and I was also glad back then to have my own comforting Christmas viewing rituals to restore my equilibrium. One of them involves continuing to watch Christmas videos old and new right through Ukrainian Christmas...
"Carols For Christmas" has been my background video for Christmas morning for 35 years now. I kept the booklet from the VHS tape, and stored it in first, the laserdisc, and later, the DVD. The booklet fully annotates the art shown during the concert, and it was only ever in the videocassette...
"Cash On Demand" is on the fascinating "Icons Of Suspense" DVD set from Hammer. I'd never seen it before, but after I did I showed it to several people as an alt-Christmas viewing choice and everybody loved it. It's very suspenseful, it has a wonderful snowy atmosphere to it even though it...
For the first time in my 60 Christmases, I'm doing that very thing this year. They're been doing massive renovations at my Co-Op for months, and I did all my decorating except the tree just in case I needed to get it out of the way, and sure enough, they're going to rip out and replace all the...
I have it on my PVR from its showing two years ago (tomorrow). It is all of that, but fans of everyone you mention (and 60's attitudes and pretentions) will enjoy seeing it. The TCM schedule says it will be shown on Thursday, December 18th at 12:45 A.M., though I think they mean Friday, December...
I just noticed last night that "Wanted Dead Or Alive" Season One has a Christmas episode called "8 Cent Reward". It was terrific. I've had the DVDs for about five years though, so I feel stupid and delighted at the same time. I suppose that's what Christmas is all about.
76 Blu-Rays soon; the local video store that special orders things for me called just after I was finished counting to say that my imported TCM Blu-Ray of the wonderful "Remember The Night" just came in.
143 DVDs, 75 Blu-Rays, plus 5 Laserdiscs and 6 VHS tapes, all Christmas. If you include things like "Die Hard" and "Eyes Wide Shut" that generally don't get sold in stores as holiday films, and all other discs with significant Christmas content, add 83 DVDs, 62 Blu-Rays, 7 Laserdiscs, and 1...
I've done "Christmas In July" shows in Vancouver with my group NO FUN since the 90's, this one from 1998. We've done elaborate all-Christmas shows since the 80's, so an elaborate 2 1/2 hour Christmas In July show wasn't much of a stretch for us.
I decided that this year I would watch a Christmas film and listen to some Christmas music on the 25th of each month. As part of that, I watched the recently-released "Black Nativity", which was a very touching and interesting family drama (and to some extent, a musical) set in present day...
I just picked up the Blu-Rays of two new Christmas movies that I special-ordered a few weeks ago, "Angels Sing" and "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas". Both of them, oddly enough, feature Connie Britton as the main character's wife (or love interest). Anyhow, I thought they were both terrific...
I posted this a month ago in "Christmas Challenge 2012", but I guess you'd all migrated here. It's all movies, but I can add that the Carol Burnett "Christmas With Carol" DVD was very enjoyable. They certainly worked hard in the 60's and 70's to entertain - original music and arrangements...
