I would have thought the sequel would be The Christmas That Almost Isn’t.
I have it as headcanon that The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t takes place in the same cinematic universe as The Christmas That Totally Ruled, The Christmas That Wasn’t That Bad, and The Christmas That Really Kicked Ass.
Yup. Just read that to the tune of Patrick Swazee Christmas…
So… yup. Understand.
The reason why Remy couldn’t make it: he makin’ sum festive grubs.
(I was just joking!)
We’ll gather at the roadhouse AKA mst3k discourse with our next of kin… To watch really bad movies
With The Christmas That Almost Won’t Be rounding out the trilogy.
It’s the Ghosts of Christmas that Almost Wasn’t Past, Present and Future.
The Christmas of Things to Come!
Someone let me know if they do more of the filming in Phoenixville tonight or not, please!! I have to go to bed sadly, but I’m interested to see if they air the q&a tonight or tomorrow!
Joel Joel, the angels who riff
You can always watch the livestream tomorrow as a replay. I always go to bed early so I always watch it the next day.
I pretty much do the same I try and watch as much as I can but I always end up falling asleep and then the next day finish watching the rest of it to catch up
The schedule said the Q&A was tonight, and tomorrow we get the usual aftershow with “Almost all” of the cast.
From Lesley’s post at the top of the thread:
I’m kind of excited for tonight. I know I’ve seen the episode when it aired but I can’t remember it so I get to experience it like it’s the first time.
That first viewing was smashing. Just a terrific time, that.
This one gets a little less rotation than other episodes because of its holiday status, don’t want to wear out the novelty and what-have-ya.
But it IS a great deal of fun. I’m looking forward to getting familiar with all those beats and rhythms again, and I hope you dig it as well!
The first of the three movies I’ve actually seen, and it’s honestly one of my favorites from Season 11. Santa in debt is such an outlandish idea, but this movie somehow makes it work.
There’s enough bizarreness to give it the same vibe as the previous two movies, and a general level of unease throughout (the characters’ makeup makes them look oddly frightening). The disjointed ADR is common of all Italian films of that era. The later scenes in the village stand out as being particularly surreal. And that animated sequence in the open would have likely scared me as a kid.
Credit to Rossano Brazzi, who clearly put his heart and soul into this project. It’s wild to consider this an auteur film. For that reason, I can’t really hate it all that much.
In less than an hour, it’ll be time to BUON this NATALE!
WE’RE GETTING NACHOS!
oh, wait
