    I truly don’t understand why people like the movie “Elf”. How does it stay on longer than 10 minutes? Just saw it’s the #1 most streamed film on MAX. I searched for “The Family Stone”. It’s on Hulu… I switch to Hulu, guess what the most popular Christmas movie is on there? Fuckin’ “Elf”!

    Diane Keaton. This is my favorite movie of hers The Family Stone. My Sister made me watch this, and said: "Yes it's chick flick adjacent, shut up, you'll love it." A lot of amazing roles (crappy taste in men, ew woody allen.) I had no idea what was happening and cried like a babeh Shark.

    Sad news about Diane Keaton. So many good movies. Personally, I will always be grateful for her role in The Family Stone, the only major film I've seen to show a flat mastectomy closure in a thoughtful and accurate way. It is a brief scene, but it matters.

    If you're searching for an overlooked Christmas gem of a movie, The Family Stone is on Disney. It rates only 52% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I've no idea why. It's spiky but warm, full of great performances and is extremely funny. Watched it two years in a row now, and it really holds up.

    For some reason I only like SAD seasonal songs? "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," "Wish I Had a River" (absolutely counts), soulful versions of "Auld Lang Syne." I feel like all of this is tangentially related to my favorite xmas movie being THE FAMILY STONE...

    “The Family Stone” was such an important film to me in my youth. Diane Keaton as the matriarch in the film was a defining movie mom for me. There’s so much to say about Diane Keaton, & I’m certainly not the best to memorialize her. But damn, I’m so sad. RIP to the legendary Diane Keaton.

    TV at the car dealership is showing The Family Stone. For more than a decade, this thoroughly average movie, which my wife and I saw in the theater, has been the standard by which I will or will not watch a movie. It has a 6.3 IMDB rating. I will not watch a movie below the Family Stone rating.
