The Star Wars Holiday Special

Tis The Season For My Fave X-Mas Films & Specials (30 movies items)

"  What does a massive Christmas train-wreck look like? This one-time-on-air special answers that question.  And as horrible as it is, every year, morbid curiosity always has me slipping this into the VCR and always prevents me from looking away. And yeah, I'd still prefer viewing this merrimental monstrosity more than It's A Wonderful Life."

Ideatasolla tällainen kuulostaa aina todella hauskalta, mutta kun jo viiden minuutin kohdalla alkaa olla aivan sietämättömän tylsää, niin aika tuntuu pitkältä. En rehellisesti sanottuna pysty ymmärtämään, kenelle joku bantha-pihvien kokkinurkkaus on suunnattu, mutta ainakin VHS-nauhoituksessa mukana olleet 70-luvun lopun jenkkimainokset hymyilyttivät hieman.
