Hallmark Christmas Movie Withdrawal

posted in: Humor, Movie, Review | 9

I’m starting to shake. It hasn’t been long, but I feel jittery and nervous. My stomach’s a wreck. When my wife asks me a question, I snap at her. When my daughter wants to play, I brush her off. I pace the house in the middle of the night, wanting to tear outside and scream at the stars. Why? I’m suffering from Hallmark Christmas movie withdrawal.

Hallmark Christmas Movie Withdrawal
Hallmark Christmas Movies

For a month, I stared at a television tuned to the Hallmark channel day and night. One Christmas movie after another paraded before my eyes. I’d sit in my chair drinking a rum-spiked egg nog, the lights of our Christmas tree twinkling over my shoulder, the festive air of Christmas enveloping me, and always the happy sounds of a Hallmark movie playing.

But wait, you say, there are no obstacles in Hallmark movies. I should hope not, and if the actors don’t overcome the obstacles within two minutes or less, I’m disappointed.

But the acting is wooden, you continue. Wooden? You mean wooden like a Christmas tree? Hallmark hires some of the finest thespians ever to grace the remote reaches of cable television.

But the plots, you object, they’re paper thin. Paper thin? Like the delightful crinkling of Christmas wrapping paper? These are the same tried and true plots that work year after year after year. If I didn’t know the outcome, it would spoil the whole experience.

But they’re not realistic, you say, they all have cheesy, happy endings. Cheesy? Like the – okay, I don’t have a Christmas cheese sensation. But I do love cheese, particularly blue cheese, so those cheesy happy endings make me as happy as a pile of melted blue cheese on a burger. Besides, if they didn’t have happy endings I wouldn’t watch them.

In the wonderful world of Hallmark, everyone gets a present, everyone’s wishes are granted, all lovers unite, and all endings are happy. Why did it have to end? I need one of those Hallmark Santas to save me. You know, the guy ringing the Salvation Army bell that looks a lot like Santa and can grant magic wishes, but you’re not sure if it’s Santa because he should be at the North Pole but he’s spending an awful lot of time with some high intensity career woman who longs secretly for a family. That guy. That’s what I need.

Hallmark Christmas movies cause severe withdrawal symptoms. Is it the saccharine plots? The cheesy endings? The dash of Christmas magic? All of the above? I don’t know, but I’ve got it bad. I have the dry Hallmark heaves. I’m about to expel a stomach full of romantic clichés. Why, Hallmark, why?

    Definitely on board with that. Have no idea what to do with myself now. Don’t know why I sought out those kooky movies either, but, they kept the Christmas joy abundant. And, I had my favs. Silly…. 🙂

    Hallmark promises two Holiday movies a week (Thursday and Friday) over the coming year. Seriously, does anyone think that’s nearly enough to get us through till October?!?!?

    Betipix365, I’ve seen worse. Seems like a decent enough place to place a small bet. The layout is a bit clunky, but the odds are fairly standard. Check it out: betipix365.

    Don Rickles schlüpft in den Charakter Billy Sherbert.
    Die Edelprostituierte Ginger gespielt von Sharon Stone wird später die
    Frau von Sam. Wobei gerade im Vorspann und am Ende der Chor der Matthäus-Passion, Johann Sebastian Bach, zu
    hören ist.
    Der Film „Casino“ erhielt vorwiegend positive Rezensionen von den Kritikern. Nach seinen Worten landet er „genau dort, wo er angefangen hat“.
    Sie werden abgerissen, um Platz für größere neue Casinos zu
    schaffen. Da die Mafia nun keine Lizenz mehr hat,
    werden die Casinos von großen Unternehmen gekauft.
    Sie beginnen, die Morde an allen zu arrangieren, die
    gegen sie aussagen. Nach Eskapaden und Affären versucht sie erfolglos Sam
    durch andere Personen umzubringen.
    Diese charakterliche Einführung zählt zu
    den furiosesten, die das Kino je gesehen hat. Fast eine Stunde lang breitet Scorsese
    seine Exposition aus und erklärt in einem atemberaubenden Stakkato die Mechanismen der Mafia-Organisation im
    Las Vegas der 70er Jahre. Noch nie zuvor wagte es ein Filmemacher, seinem Publikum eine
    derartig große Menge an Informationen gebündelt und in solch irrsinnigem Tempo vorzusetzen. Vor allem
    stilistisch unterscheiden sich die Filme doch gewaltig.
