Netflix 2021 Christmas challenge

I googled A New York Christmas Wedding to see if it was as wild as I remembered it, and found this perfect review: https://slate.com/culture/2020/12/new-york-christmas-wedding-netflix-review-wtf.html

Highly recommend the review even if you’re not going to watch it.

omg omg omg. What did I just read. How was this green lit. What. And then after the “That’s not even the craziest part”, WHAT.

Stuff like this is why Mr. Meer tells me to take up screen writing, cause if this can get made then anyone can do it.

I love how many times the article uses the phrase “now-adult ghost of a dead gay fetus”

In a more serious vein, I am about to start deducting points for excessive shitting on a castle for Christmas. So far it is one of the top two holiday Netflix movies of 2021! And the only one where knitting is a major plot point.

Ok, well, I’m ready to be deducted points. Among other things, a small pet peeve: Why did they do her make up like that? She doesn’t need fake lash LA. She’s a WRITER from NEW YORK. She needs warm natural “I barely even tried” vibes.

Also the editing was :roll_eyes:

(Also @elle it was just SO BADDDDD. Dont make me be nice to it. :pleading_face:)

What the everloving fuck. Why? WHY.

I just. Why?! No. The answer to “can we” should have been “NO.”

We watched Bluey’s Christmas episodes yesterday. A++ would recommend.

@madgeylou only lost two, and will get them reinstated because the comments were before the warning. But you! You knew that movie held me together when I was missing a Christmas festival and having seizures, and STILL layered on insults after the warning. Next you’ll insult my therapist!!

Oh I didn’t realize you loved it so! I scrolled to the bottom of this thread! Also I’m half dead when I’m texting most of the time! I don’t remember all the things! :sob:

Here, I will give some legitimate thoughtful praise:

Cary Elwes was excellent. I really loved his accent!

The fact that they made a curvaceous black woman a love interest sang to my heart.

The settings are gorgeous.

You can keep my points as long as I am still in your heart :pleading_face::heart:

@elle I also realize that I did not start this post off with a straight apology, just panicked spluttering and excuses. So, I am sorry my friend! I didn’t know which Chrstmas movie healed you and dissed it continually <3

There is romance between old people. Botox makes Brooke Shields look like she’s always crying or maybe she is.
