As many of you know, i become unbearable at Christmastime. I hope that it's a loveable kind of unbearable, but even if it's not, I guess that's the price everyone has to pay for knowing me. While everyone else is (apparently) thinking about committing suicide from Thanksgiving to New Year, I'm trying to bake a roomful of cookies, drink my weight in cocoa, and spend as much time staring at fires or snow falling or -- best of all -- Christmas movies.
And so, in that spirit, I think it's time to review one or two holiday movies before the end of the year. I'll be back in North Carolina as of tomorrow morning (and I have a final this afternoon), but I plan to not let even the 12.8 kbps speed of the internet back home prevent me from being both annoyingly excited about Christmas coming and annoyingly opinionated.
You have been forewarned

Procrastinating, and proving I'm not a snob
I have no problem admitting that in certain things (e.g., cheese, balsamic vinegar, novels) I'm a bit of a snob. But I have been accused recently of being a movie snob, and I'm not willing to accept this. Yes, I watch a lot of old movies, but this doesn't make me a snob; it makes me diverse. So, just so you know, this is a list (illustrative, not exhaustive) of non-snobby movies I love -- some with no shame and some with just a little:
So there.
- Back to the Future
- Dirty Dancing
- Ghostbusters
- Gone in 60 Seconds
- Hackers
- Independence Day
- Karate Kid
- Minority Report
- Office Space
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Shanghai Noon
- Zoolander
So there.
