Ghosts of Christmas Past #7: The Lego Star Wars Christmas Special 2010
Ghosts of Christmas Past #6: The Lego Star Wars Christmas Special
Earlier today, I went on YouTube in a search for more classic Christmas episodes and specials. While I was searching through the results, I came across the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special from 2009. Seeing as how quite a few of our readers had a good reaction to The Star Wars Holiday Special, I figured why not share the Lego version here?
So, directly from Al Nickels Films, here’s the Lego Star Wars Christmas Special!
Enjoy!
Ghosts of Christmas Past #4: Twilgiht Zone Ep. 47 “Night of The Meek” (dir by Jack Smight)
A Christmas episode of the Twilight Zone? Yes, such a thing does exist. In Night of the Meek, an unemployed man (Art Carney) is given a chance to be Santa Claus. This is a wonderful episode that truly captures the spirit of the season.
Night of the Meek was written by Rod Serling and directed by Jack Smight. It was originally broadcast on December 23rd, 1960.
Happy Holidays From The Shattered Lens (And Especially Lisa and Erin!)
Hi, everyone! Now, I know that some of you may be saying, “It’s Saturday. Where are the trailers, Ms. Bowman?” Well, rest assured, a new entry in Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Trailers will be posted next week. However, today, me and the one and only Dazzling Erin are in Ft. Worth, hanging out with our family and trying to get those final few presents wrapped before Christmas morning.
(Luckily, we live in America and not Europe or else it already would be Christmas and then we’d really be in a spot.)
So, again, the trailers will resume next week. For today, however, I’d rather share with you one of my favorite movie endings of all time. Yes, you’ve seen it a hundred times and you might be watching it on TV right now. But I don’t care. The ending of It’s a Wonderful Life always brings a tear to my eye.
Happy Holidays!
…And Christmas For All!

You probably haven’t heard of Michael Armstrong, but you might have heard of his musical project, Rockabye Baby. Armstrong (not to be confused with the Christian pop singer of the same name) has made his claim to fame by taking music by the likes of Radiohead, Tool, and Nirvana, and, through copius glockenspiel, converting their best hits into lullabies. But don’t roll your eyes at another Richard Cheese just yet. The Rockabye Baby albums are actually pleasant to listen to in their own right.
I suppose Christmas music was the logical next step.
It’s hard to give credit where credit is due concerning these; I’ve seen a number of different names associated with the Rockabye Baby series, but Armstrong’s definitely pops up the most. Individual credits for each album are difficult to come by. I’m pretty sure he is the composer of this holiday absurdity, but don’t quote me on it.
Happy holidays?
