Went to the video store yesterday and was shocked to see meal-oriented movies like "Frenzy," "Eating Raul," "Discreet Charm of the
Bourgeoise" and "Sweeny Todd" (Todd Slaughter) were still available. What are things coming to when the classics are ignored?!
What are the CHFB Peoples Choice for "Appropriate" T-Day videos playing in the background? |

Today I watched THE MAN FROM PLANET X. As appropriate as any other title I can think of for today.
My whole life I've been playing jacks with a square ball.

I rarely watch movies on Thanksgiving. We usually have big family gatherings, so movie viewing is impossible. Plus most of the people want the football games
on. I married into a family of gamblers so many of the people are involved in football pools. After dinner the evenings are taken over by playing cards. Now
that I am home I am thinking of putting on KING KONG while I sit here unwinding, then at bedtime I will either fall asleep to the 007 marathon on Sci-Fi right
now or I will put on a Christmas flick (SCROOGED, CHRISTMAS VACATION or A CHRISTMAS STORY.

Sadly, after the huge meal, I flopped onto the couch, not realizing the remote was out of reach. There I was, like Gamera on his back, forced to watch USA
network and all the episodes in their "House" marathon... Luckily, I did catch up on several episodes that I hadn't seen before... I just wish
USA had been a bit more careful, and played the shows in some kind of original broadcast order.

Before kids I used to like to watch HOLIDAY INN w/ Crosby and Astaire. It's pretty warm and fuzzy, and as always, Bing's voice is like a warm bath.
HOWEVER- since I have 2 kids (6&10) we watched too damn much Spongebob and Drake and Josh in the background while eating. I snuck out to my studio and read
a little, but wasnt in a movie mood...

I always try to watch THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD on or around Thanksgiving. It used to be shown locally either the week before or the week after Thanksgiving
when I was a kid, so I associate the movie with turkey day.

If we do watch TV in the evenings, it's usually the time when we bring out the Christmas movies - Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas
Story, & (especially) Planes Trains & Automobiles, which actually takes place during the holiday.

I cook too, but generally try to have something festive music or movie-wise in the background. So it was the Macy's parade- pure cheese, but comforting
that its still there. Then dinner/friends/drinks. Then later it was Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, follwed by Peter Jackson's King
Kong.

Since we rarely have Thanksgiving at home, I don't play anything. However, this Thanksgiving at my cousin's we watched a DVD of "The Dark
Knight."
