What better way to break up the constant Christmas movie posts then with a Pirate related post. I am hanging out at my In-Laws place today while Allison and her mom go for breakfast and Dan goes to pick up Allison’s grandparents. We are having a family meal tonight at Piccola (A fine Italian restaurant in Manchester, NH). Anyway that is neither here nor there at the moment. I’ll recap that meal later tonight. But before Marcia, Allison and Dan left they told me that I could have any of the books in the bookshelf upstairs. Books, I freaking love books. And Dan and I have similar taste in what we like for books. I was going to go through and list each and every book I will be acquiring but then I thought that maybe I would save that for when I read the books. However one caught my eye that I am very interested in reading right away. That one is called Under the Black Flag the Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates. I am looking forward to reading this one. I love Pirate books and especially the true pirate stuff.

Scrooged
Scrooged is one of those movies where Bill Murray is hilarious. He has that straight deadpan look and then goes all nuts. I just love it. The cast of characters in this movie is also very funny. The movie has David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter) as the Ghost of Christmas Past. He was a cigar smoking cab driving ghost. Carol Kane as the Ghost of Christmas Present. She was hilarious with all the beating up on Bill Murrary’s character. This was one of the more funny takes on the Christmas Carol theme. Even Bobcat Goldthwait was in it in a Bob Crochet sort of role. One of my favorite parts was on the set of the movie Bill Murray’s character was producing and the set designer or animal handler comes up to Bill’s character as explains that the antlers won’t stay on the mice. Murray asks, “Did you try staples.” The movie was just filled with twisted humor like that and Murray is the only guy who can deliver in that way. So, get in the holiday spirit with Scrooged. You can watch the trailer at the Video Detective website.
