Merry Christmas From 1939 And Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog



Last year, creator of cool radio shows and film scholar Aaron Neathery posted a great Eddie Cantor tune, The Only Thing I Want For Christmas, on The Third Banana blog last year. I like it a lot and, being way too damn lazy to write a blog, cribbed Eddie's 1939 Yuletide offering for today's Merry Christmas blog entry.

Cheesy Christmas Commercials

Psychotronic Paul's Favorite Technicolor Musical Sequence Ever

I saw this, believe it or not, for the first time last night at San Francisco's fabulous Castro Theatre, as part of their excellent Samuel Goldwyn retrospective. Also thought I had seen every bizarre musical production number ever committed to film in 1928-1934. Well, think again! The final 20 minutes of Kid Millions had me sitting with gaping-mouthed astonishment, marveling at the sheer quantity and variety of WTF moments!
