Fucking Love Bad Santa, amazing movie.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Fuck, why

Well, shit. I think Bad Santa has to take this as much as I love Miracle on 34th Street.

If this was the original Miracle I'd probably go with it (it's in the tournament too though), but I'll go Bad Santa over the remake even if it's a pretty quality remake as well

If this was 5 years ago, I would've picked Bad Santa automatically....but its playedd so goddamn much I've grown to hate it.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Bernie Mac rip

 

[Adapting]

Love Bad Santa.

Bad santa is great

Only seen Bad Santa once and found it a bit overrated. Agree that the original Miracle is better, but I still think the remake was a nice updating. Plus Elizabeth Perkins always quite the beauty.
