Christmas in June

Guess what happens on June 22nd? That's right, Bad Santa, the best movie ever comes out on video. I am so excited about this. J and I saw it during exams in December, and we were both hysterical the whole time. Now, J thinks that we might have only thought it was so great because we were experiencing exam delirium, and anything that wasn't about equitable distribution or attempted monopolization would have had us rolling in the aisles. But I will stand firm: Bad Santa is objectively hilarious; not just diverting during exam period (By the way, I hate it when someone says a movie was "diverting," meaning "it wasn't the meaning of life, but it held my attention for 2 hours." It's so condescending). There's this one scene where Marcus (the little person) is wearing a tiny snowman outfit and he's running and he dives down the metal ramp between the up escalator and the down escalator. I laughed so hard at this point that I couldn't breathe, and I didn't really ever recover. I'm just glad we weren't at home, because I would have rewound that part like 40 times, and then I would have made J watch it backwards and in slow motion. So yeah, see Bad Santa when it comes out. It's wonderfully, perfectly, and gloriously diverting.
