  1. It's not just the incinerator, the daycare and the evil toys there and Lotso's story and the fact that the puppy was way older than it should have been and the fact that their solution of being saved by Bonnie buys them another decade, maybe.

    If I want "life is terrible and everyone you will ever love will leave you and die," there are plenty of movies for that, and I've enjoyed a few of them. That whole nihilistic mentality doesn't work when it's being espoused by a cartoon cowboy and marketed with toddler toys.

  2. Trainwreck: More of the same from Apatow, though redeemed by a fantastic cast. Amy Schumer is hilarious, and Bill Hader might be the most under-appreciated man in show business. John Cena was a delight, as well.

    Toy Story 3: I hadn't seen this before tonight and could not have been more disappointed. It's a very well made film, technically speaking. It's got a great cast and fantastic moments of comedy. But it is so unceasingly grim. It's not a movie I want my son to watch. I don't want to watch it a again. I get that Pixar is trying to impart the hard lessons and all, but Jesus, this just wasn't fun to watch.

  3. Final Tally

    Star Wars: Battlefront (Wife)

    The nerdiest quilt in the land (Wife)

    Good Eats: The Early Years, The Official John Wayne Grilling Cookbook, and Street Food (Mother-in-law)

    Hawkeye, vol 1-3 by Aja and Fraction (Me/Santa?)

    Homemade Kaluha and Irish Cream (My mother)

    The boy child was ridiculously spoiled, I'd list his haul, but I don't have all night.

     

  4. Merry Christmas, gang!

    Tonight I made Cornish game Hens with a honey and tumeric glaze, green beans with seared pork belly and garlic mashed potatoes for the in laws. Michelle finished the meal with a pumpkin Swiss roll. I'll update with gift highlights later. Off to my family's farm tomorrow!
