Re: Catch up/Check in

Please excuse the late respond. It's been a busy week with Thanksgiving and me working on Black Friday. If you know anything about American shopping on THAT day than you can guess why I've been worn down a bit.

I've rarely watched a Hallmark movie from beginning to end, but I can defiantly find amusement in something that rather stupid, but begin. Though I'd probably lean more towards the weird animated fantasies like the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas special. More often though I am looking for of quality be it older classics like Miracle on 34th Street and modern favorites like Arthur Christmas.

I did come across Nick DiRamio once before. When I found they used a snarky thumbnail calling Halloween Town II a crime against cinema or something. Which I thought was the BEST of the Halloween Town series and I even liked the later ones, while I'm not really confident about checking them out anytime soon. If it's not obnoxious or mean like you say then maybe some of the other entires. I don't know.

I would recommend Locke & Key if you like creepy yet fun fantasy/mysteries. If you can keep up the many twists and turns. Might be a food idea can look up the graphic novel source material online just to be recall all the magic plot devices in key form.

Ohhhh yes I'm familiar with Black Friday in the US, oof you poor thing, that must have been absolute madness. Are you working during the Boxing Day sales also? We have them here in Australia too, but it's nowhere on the level of American sales.

Haha totally fair about not wanting to watch Nick's videos on something you love. I will say though that a lot of the titles are a lot harsher sounding than the video actually is. They absolutely make fun of bad filming and acting techniques and such but also give praise to a lot of it, and Nick often genuinely likes the things they're reviewing (except for Shane Dawson's work and other such awful youtubers). It took me a little bit to get into the videos, but now I can't stop.

I will get my partner's arse into gear and get him to watch Locke & Key asap. I've not spoken to anyone that's watched it so wasn't sure if it was worth it after all. Good to hear it is though!

Boxing Day tends not to be as busy a shopping time in the US, though we do have after Christmas sales. So it's not they'll be needing me.
