Alright we're watching Christmas Movies, specifically "Mrs Santa Claus" - made in 1996 as part of the Wonderful World of Disney which used to air on Sunday Nights.

It's my favorite. With the "Muppet Christmas Carol" a close second.

The best part? Over twenty years later - gods I cringe writing that - it still holds up. Marches for women's rights, strikes, workers writes, intercultural relationships, religions existing side by side, a wife finding herself and not being ignored. All of it still could stand today.

I have the DVD because I'm old. But I think it's on YouTube. Watch it. It's worth it.

Oh yeah, Angela Lansbury is Mrs Anna Claus. Yep. This one gave her a name. And a costume I'll one day recreate but I digress.

I'm serious though. To the library to the streaming sites. Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Revisiting "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000): A Review

“Inside a snowflake, like the one on your sleeve, there happened a story, you must see to believe.” This whimsical quote narrated by Sir Anthony Hopkins opens the world of How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) directed by Ron Howard and based on the beloved book by Dr. Seuss. The film brings to life the story of the Grinch (Jim Carrey), a Christmas-loathing character who plans to steal Christmas…

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.
