Bugonia is a hilarious holiday comedy…take the whole family.

I have heard good things about both that and The Running Man (“it felt like a throwback 90’s action flick with better special effects”)

Im going to see that one too. Both remakes. Probably going to check out the new osgood perkins movie too…love that he’s churning out weird horror flicks that turn a profit.

Had no idea Bugonia is a remake, I’ve intentionally avoided trailers and spoilers about it

Its a remake of a south korean movie. I avoided the original and am glad i did. If you like very dark comedy and/or his other movies, you’ll probably dig it.

Heads up that River Oaks Theatre is showing a lot of classic Christmas movies this december: die hard, love actually, Xmas vacation, the thing, krampus, its a wonderful life…etc.

My lady actually loves “love actually” and was delighted when i took her to see it as a suprise last year.

I love The Thin Man. I aspire to be Nick Charles one day.

Grab some Nick and Nora cocktail glasses and you’ll be off to a great start.

I have the glasses, but not the charm, I’m afraid.

I suffer from the same affliction.

My favorite Xmas vodka cocktail is mixing it with dry vermouth (and a couple of dashes of orange bitters and a lemon rind twist).

I’ll say this for Georgia Hardstark…she turned that drink into a multi-million dollar podcast and media empire.

Any list that does not include A Christmas Story and Trading Places cannot be taken seriously in my house.
