Boy oh boy do I love a good Christmas movie. (I'm saving It's a Wonderful Life to watch with my bf when we do our Christmas this Saturday)
positive · AI labelView post →Make a sequel trilogy to The Santa Clause that begins with Tim Allen falling off a roof and a twink becoming the new Santa, only he's really psyched when he gets chubby and grows and beard and is suddenly a hot daddy. I know it sounds like a porn but this would be a movie for kids.

neutral · AI labelView post →In the 1994 film The Santa Clause, it’s established canonically that Santa is a mantle claimed through causing the death of the current holder. Therefore, Santa follows the laws of mak’gora, making him Warchief of the North Pole. In this essay I will…

neutral · AI labelView post →from the mom’s perspective, Tim Allen seems legitimately insane in The Santa Clause (I haven’t seen this movie in almost 30 years)
neutral · AI labelView post →Christmas movie that follows the rules of The Santa Clause, that tells the story of people staying up overnight on Christmas Eve intending to assassinate Santa, so that they may become the next Santa, while Santa must do everything in his power to defend himself, No More Heroes style

neutral · AI labelView post →The last act of The Santa Clause is sort of like the movie Prisoners if the kidnapper was Santa, and Hugh Jackman was played by Judge Reinhold.
neutral · AI labelView post →David Cronenberg should do a sequel to The Santa Clause where Viggo Mortensen accidentally runs over the Easter Bunny and spends the rest of the film painfully turning into a rabbit
neutral · AI labelView post →The Santa Clause is a Christmas movie. Prove me wrong. 🧐

neutral · AI labelView post →Random thought: did Vance think being the Pope was like the film "The Santa Clause" and if you kill the Pope you get to be the new Pope?
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes you just want to lie in the shower and relax and think about horny things and get some release but all your brain will think about is the 90s Christmas movie The Santa Clause
neutral · AI labelView post →It took me over thirty years to get that the movie, "The Santa Clause" is a play on words, referencing the legal document use of the word "clause." Oh my god. They even explain it several times in the movie. My brain is SO smooth.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Santa Clause (1994) starring Tim Allen is fetish film (gainer, age progression, santafication)
neutral · AI labelView post →Had a dream last night that I was hired to write a movie titled “SANTA DRACULA.” From what I can remember it was kinda like THE SANTA CLAUSE, except instead of Tim Allen it was Dracula.
neutral · AI labelView post →Don't think I've ever seen the sequels, but decided to watch The Santa Clause films because 'tis the season, and the first one is straight up a body horror film in a lot of ways? But with a happy jolly patina and uplifting music. Oh, and one of the most annoying child characters ever.
neutral · AI labelView post →Does "The Santa Clause" count as a gainer film? 🤔
neutral · AI labelView post →A surprise entry on to our Christmas movie list. A Boy Called Christmas A bit like His Dark Materials meets The Santa Clause Did not expect much but pretty good.
positive · AI labelView post →In my former life as a film critic, I once got pulled over for speeding on my way home after a midnight showing of The Santa Clause 3 and lied to the cop that I'd just seen Borat to save face.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Santa Clause series should have had a new star every movie and they should all begin with the previous actor getting gruesomely killed in the first ten minutes.
neutral · AI labelView post →hot take the Santa Clause is a christmas movie
positive · AI labelView post →For #firstpagefriday - here’s page one of my fantastical Christmas feature. (Elf meets The Santa Clause) It’s the four-quadrant feel good family movie you didn’t know you needed. #scriptsky #screenwritercommunity
neutral · AI labelView post →I want to remake The Santa Clause that’s also a collab with The Grinch and at the beginning of the movie a dad shoots and kills The Grinch for trying to steal Christmas
neutral · AI labelView post →The Santa Clause is such a bizarre premise for a movie. Tim Allen has killed Santa Claus, now watch him get really fat and experience ego death
neutral · AI labelView post →However, this was only his second to last film. There was a brief moment where he thought he might be in remission, so he appeared in an entry in the Santa Clause franchise in which he and Tim Allen swapped bodies, and he was lowkey incredible as Tim Allen's Santa Clause. THEN he died.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s time for me to publicly admit The Santa Clause is my favourite movie, which is so on-brand for a person who was born in the early 1990s it hurts.
positive · AI labelView post →What’s your favorite Santa Clause Movie? Mine is The Santa Clause 2 I just love this scene so much. And Elizabeth Mitchell is my favorite. 💙

neutral · AI labelView post →anyway I guess I'm watching The Santa Clause (1994) a film I've always been aware of but never watched, I guess even my shield of grinchy Jewish humbuggery has allowed some christmas to slip through this year
neutral · AI labelView post →Hot take: Jingle All the Way is functionally and spiritually a better movie than The Santa Clause, The Polar Express, and dozens of others in a ten year window around 1996 that get a Nostalgia Pass while JAtW gets dunked on by hack YouTubers.
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie is The Santa Clause if Tim Allen was given the broad powers granted by The USA PATRIOT Act.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey maddy you're not making fanart of Bernard the Christmas elf from the 1994 film The Santa Clause are you? Nah I'd never do that
neutral · AI labelView post →As we enter the festive season I once more have encountered The Santa Clause and been reminded of the implied horrors of that movie world’s lore. For example, in Santa Clause 2 we learn that Santa MUST have a Mrs. Claus. Non-negotiable, and the impetus for the film. But in the original… no family.
neutral · AI labelView post →Was just gonna watch Red One, but started watching The Santa Clause, and now The Santa Clause 2. I hate Christmas honestly, but I love a good Christmas movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →We were too busy debating whether Die Hard was a Christmas movie, we never stopped to consider the fact that The Santa Clause was 100% just a werewolf movie (Also, goes without saying but fuck Tim Allen)
neutral · AI labelView post →No, literally same. For me, it was The Santa Clause, Heavyweights, and myriad other feeding/gaining/inflation scenes across film and television. 🐻🐷
