The second day in which I get to spout my comments on a christmas movie that no doubt everyone has already seen seven or eiaght times.

            Introducing The Little Drummer Boy. No drumroll please (I have a headache).
                 This is the all time mom favorite. Or at least two mothers of my acquantiance seem to like this movie (well two out of two that is a good correlation, isn't it?). To be honest I think that the simplicity of the visual component of the show is quite appealing. I also appreciate the just general over all simplicity and beauty of the movie. It is perhaps the best children's classic Christmas movie that I have seen (Other then the Peanut's Christmas of course, but that is to good to be a classic).
                  Not that it's competition is all that great anyway. I mean seriously Frosty Returns. Who thought that movie was  a good idea? I mean personally I was hoping frosty was going to melt. In both movies actually and what else is there Rudolph. I mean if the shiny nose was such a big problem they could always have cut it off. I mean it is just like my dad always says if it hurts cut it off. Fine that might be a little bit of an over reaction.
            Also a problem with the Little Drummer Boy is that it seems to send half of my siblings to bed with nightmares (well as long as they stay in bed we are okay). These kids are way to sensitive. I like to call myself sensitve (I don't like calling myself sensitive but I unfortunately am sensitive).  So maybe kids should not watch it. But it is a kids show. I mean who else will watch this? (stupid bloggers like myself don't count).
              Well actually maybe watching it once a year is not such a bad idea. It really has many elements about it that are quite appealing (whereas other Christmas children's shows are quite appalling).
            So I suggest watching it if you can even find it.

My (almost) Baby sister seems to think that I have to write for her contest. Therefore I am writing this (have you ever wondered how long they would let you make these titles?

                    Lets see... Oh yes I have been coherced to write a review of It's a Wonderful Life. I have never actually watched the full movie technically, although I acted as Violet Bick in a community theater play. I have yet to get over that enough to finish watching the actual movie. That and I have this thing against Jimmy Stewart. Maybe he's just to decent and American. I think I like my characters very good and/or very interesting. Don't get me wrong I like amazing characters who are good amazingly so. But I have difficulty in many cases with boring good characters. This is not fair to Jimmy Stewart I will admit his character in here was fairly well drawn and interesting enough. I can see why the movie is a classic. The message of the story is very good and somewhat empowering (I am not certain if empowering is usually a good thing. I am not a believer in self confidence at all costs. Sometimes we all can be dumb and we should learn of it).

                    Maybe I can not understand someone who is so friendly and likeable. I mean likeable. That is what Jimmy Stewart is likeable. Likeable.  It feels like they are trying to take away my free will by trying to force me to like them. Then either I end up liking them or hating them for the attempt. Jimmy Stewart really is neither. I just do not care for his character that he always seems to play. Although I do hear he tried to get out of the nice average American man role that he always played towards the later part of his career.

So I was supposed to write about It's a Wonderful Life. Well to be completely frank it bores me after we go through his life the first time. When he starts freaking out I lost interest him as a character, (I dislike over dramatic reactions somewhat) and since I already knew the story as every does whether or not they have watched it, I have never finished it. So this is not much of a commentary I admit. IT probably is a good a very good movie, but I never could stand sentimental heartwarming movies. They are so disgustingly emotional.

finals again

              Yes, I have finals yet again. Why do I always make time during finals but no other time to blog? I have problems. Personally I wish finals where just a little bit more final. The dragging out of education is getting just a bit tedious. I am now writing a fifteen page paper of Evelina by Francis Burney.  Burney was the person who more or less helped to inspire Jane Austen, although from what I can tell Jane Austen is a better writer. Although to say that for certain I would have to read more of Burney's books.  For some reason Burney reminds me of Oscar Wilde.
          I am not certain if  I like the education system we have. I am not certain if it is the best way to learn. I mean cramming your head full of facts does not allow good Memory retention and writing ten to twelve longer papers a semester  will not guarantee quality. But what would I know? Maybe it does.  Oh well never mind that.
