    Mr. Cait is watching National Lampoons Vegas Vacation and Clark Griswold should have been literally beheaded for trying to cheat on this woman in every movie

    Clark Griswold has an all-time, hall of fame, absolute dime of a wife who is down for whatever, and yet creeps on some other girl in every Vacation movie. I’m glad half his vacations end in SWAT team interventions.

    Wife & I watch a Christmas movie every Friday in December and she's Hindu and I'm nothing and the movies we watch are a mix of Christmas Vacation and Bad Santa and Trading Places because Christmas is about snow and Santa and a vibe so no Jesus, you can't have this holiday back it's for everyone

    If you can't afford a travel vacation and don't even have enough time off to take a week off at home, you can always have a Chips Vacation. Just purchase a bag of your favorite corn or potato chips and eat the entire bag in one go while watching a show, a movie, or simply staring at the wall.

    Vacation Mode still in effect. I have ten days to go! Today's #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday is a marquee lineup most would question. 43 had to be the number of hostages it took to make the film, Samurai Cop = Legendary, Send Help with a strong showing, & High Tension is an intense slasher.

    I live in Palm Springs and the dynamic is very similar to Vegas in this movie. Vacation homes are empty half the year. The heat makes it normal for people to go walking arounf at night. Lots of blackout curtains and shutters. A careful vampire could do very well in a set-up like this movie. ❤️🦇
