    There are classic Christmas movies, such as Krampus, Die Hard & Elf, but they say there isn’t a true 4th of July movie. I beg to differ . . .

    Red One is currently free for Prime users, and it is fun as hell. JK Simmons is perfection, the CGI is remarkable, and they did NOT screw up Krampus. It's NOT great art, just an entirely enjoyable Christmas movie, with bonus Lucy Liu + fight scenes. And Santa's Run is awesome!

  • Max the comics guy who does comics about comics @waitingforthetrade.bsky.socialBluesky · Dec 26, 2024

    Okay, so I saw a gif set from Red One and apparently The Rock has a Cupid and Psyche/Beauty and the Beast-esque subplot in which he is kidnapped by the Krampus, who then attempts to seduce him. Why was this not in the trailers? Did they not want people to see the movie?

    I hope I didn’t trick anyone into watching Red One when I implied that Krampus fucks the Rock by outright stating that Krampus fucks the Rock in the movie Red One.

    If they had just had Chris Evans fuck the Krampus in Red One people would’ve actually seen that movie. As the poster from Chicago I had in my room in high school said, “if you can’t be famous, be infamous.”

    I need there to be a Rise of The Guardians type of movie where Krampus and Santa Claus are forced to work together and they HATE each other. Also Krampus has to be really cunty. This is my wish.

    If I have one Christmas movie recommendation, it's the Toni Collette Krampus movie. Closest thing to a modern day Gremlins. But if I were to recommend something that feels like it embodies Christmas: the Christmas/ Vietnam Mr Hyun episode of Hey Arnold.

  • Turquoise Magpie @turquoisemagpie.bsky.socialBluesky · Dec 21, 2024

    The opportunity to make a Krampus themed horror film a psychological horror is immense, especially if Krampus can only see bad people. A group of people go to a work party and encounter Krampus. Our protagonist is an ex-convict, and yet is the only one of the party goers who Krampus can’t see…
