gingiber and anonymous_seth. Seth thought it was a long ttime to spend on one joke, but as I believe I may have mentioned, I am very easily amused. Be warned that this is not a nice film, though, and may make you laugh at things which are just not fucking funny. There's a lot of swearing as well, which may possibly make up for that. Santa in a balaclava preparing for a robbery is just wrong, and the nice Jewish girl with the Santa fetish (she makes him keep the hat on) is worse.
Important point, though : What the hell is the "talking walnut" bit all about?
In other news, I've just finished Fiona's copy of The House Of Dr Dee by Peter Ackroyd, which I liked a lot. It's partly set in Elizabethan times and partly recently, and features an archive researcher's difficult family, Dee, Edward Kelley, angelomancy, homunculi, and various sorts of unexpectedness. Recommended.
If you've read the book already, those Wikipedia articles are well worth a look.
