Total Drama Overload.

[swestrup]

No, its nothing serious. Its just that I've been so sick that I can't really concentrate on getting anything done. Even installing software on my system is proving too arduous for me without long breaks.

So, I downloaded the entire run of Total Drama Island, and I'm watching the episodes in succession. So far, so good.

Oh, that reminds me. I have this entire bunch of really cheesy yule-time movies and things that I've been thinking I should watch all together at once in a yule movie marathon. It includes the Muppet Christmas special, the Star Wars Christmas special, the two parts of Hogfather, Bernie and the Genie, and probably some others I've forgotten.

I wonder if a general bad-christmas movie marathon could be held, or something?  I wanted to do it last year, but events intervened. Hopefully this year will be different.

Uhhhh
What do they do in the Star Wars Christmas special?

[kishiriadgr.livejournal.com]

They celebrate a Wookiee holiday called "Life Day". It wasn't a Christmas special, it was a holiday special in the most general sense, and aired in the summer months. The plotline was about Chewbacca trying to get home for Life Day. Princess Leia sang. If I recall correctly, some and perhaps all of it is on YouTube.

I watched some of the clips and...
I was weirded out, shocked and amused all at the same time.

And THEN I saw a video of Chewbacca singing the blues. WTH was that? LOL

Oh, gawd, its bad! It turns out that Chewbacca has an entire family with Mom, Dad, Wife and kid back on the home planet, and he's trying to get back there for Christmas, but meanwhile the empire has other plans...

It was only broadcast once in 1978 or something, and to this day Lucas refuses to admit he made it, or that it even exists.

I watched it when it was broadcast and could tell it was crap even as a kid. It took me years to find a copy!

From the clips on youtube, it looks like a stoner movie :P

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! patgund also gave me a Mexican movie called "Santa Claus" in which Santa battles a devil. He's assisted by Merlin the wizard, toys are made by child volunteers from around the world and the sleigh is pulled by robotic reindeer.

Hmm. I've only ever seen part of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. And, yes, it was bad! If I'm going to show all of these other movies though, it will require assistance from volunteers!
