      If I was brought back in time right before the assassination of JFK, would I stop it? No, because there is no telling how much changing the death of ANYONE could impact the future. Butterfly affect and shit. Just play it safe, everyone who died in the past should remain dead. Anyways, I just put more thought into that scene than the writers of this pile of yellow snow did.

      Honestly I always enjoyed this movie just for Martin Short's performance, lines like this I can hear in my head after reading them. Even as a kid I found the plot about Santa being overworked and the in-laws coming to visit boring and awkward, but there's something about Martin Short as Jack Frost that is ridiculously fun to watch. Maybe it's because he's the only one in the movie who seems like he's enjoying himself, like watch his song-and-dance routine as Santa, he's clearly having a ball.

I wish it had been recieved better and we'd gotten a prequel about the Jack Frost character in all honesty. Also, Curtis is way less annoying 3 than in 2, good god.

    Joke in The Santa Clause: “We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shotguns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women.”
    Joke in The Santa Clause 3: I honestly can’t think of one.
    The original is a PG-rated, playfully cynical film that properly counterbalances its Disney brand sweetness. It creates a good dichotomy that makes the emotional moments impactful rather than cheesy.
    The sequels are G-rated sugar-fests filled with overacting and an overreliance on cutesiness. Just the fact that they gave the reindeer bigger eyes and a silly gibberish style of talking shows how saccharine the sequels are compared to the original.

      Honestly...I thought you were joking.

I laugh at a lot of offensive jokes but I still take real issues seriously in a serious environment, just as you seem to as well (from what you've said). So I think it's safe to say that perhaps such reminders don't always need to be said. We all know these things and were not going to forget them anytime soon.

    When you're afraid of the reviews for Rise of Skywalker, since you're gonna see it over the holidays with your dad and bro, seeing one of these reviews always calms me down, and makes me laugh.

      @@jenneacubero1036 no. We're seeing Star Wars. My dad's never even seen Cats before. I'll take my chances with a film that has mixed reviews at worst with critics before I go and see the other choice.

      @@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257I'm seeing the Star Wars film too. I work at a movie theater where there's a screening for the employees only. Even though ClownFish, Geek+Gamers and StarWarsGirl had warned me of the mess that is "Rise of Skywalker", I still want to see it. Mainly because I've never seen a Star Wars film on the big screen before. And since this would most likely be the last one, I might as well see it. Hopefully, it'll be a good, respectable send-off to Leia and Carrie Fisher.

    That lesson hits home this year. I've been working so hard to out-do my past presents, I've always made them myself, that I kind of forgot why I made them: to show how much I love my family.
    They love my presents because I made them, not because of what I made. My mom and dad had to set me strait on that.
