The Christmas Movie Wars

[Jolly]

So much for nobody watching.

GAF, Halmark, Up and Lifetime have already gone to Christmas movies.

[Mik]

They don't keep cranking out stuff no one watches. By the way, Hallmark movies is considered a very good job by actors.

Once again, I misunderestimated the good taste of the American public.

They get paid well and nobody capable of going outside unassisted will recognize them in the street?

Steady, undemanding work, reasonable hours and locations.

And you guys still worry about going to hell when you die?

No sir. I am washed in the Blood of the Lamb and saved by Grace abundant.

Those sound more like the kind of movie you see on the Satanic Pr0n Channel.

Grace Abundant would be quite a good name for an adult movie star.

Typical filming time is about 15 days.

No massive retakes, so you have to deliver your lines first time (most of the time). Locations are normally in Canada, and once there, very little travel. Guys crank out one or two Christmas movies a year, and then one or two other shows for the channel.

I remember reading something Bure said a few years ago, where they sometimes will film two movies back-to-back in the same town, changing out one of the leads and a few of the supporting actors...Makes it even cheaper to film.

MFR likes them. Just pretty fluff, homey and you know what you're getting.

@Mik said in The Christmas Movie Wars:

You'd be surprised how many people watch these things.

Real men watch Hallmark channel. Ain’t that right, @Mik?

[George K]

I have never seen a Hallmark Christmas movie. Neither has Mrs. George.

They have more happy endings than a Korean massage parlour.

Or so I've heard.

Grace Abundant would be quite a good name for an adult movie star.

Or a Sean Connery/Roger Moore era Bond girl.

I think rubbing one off to a "spiritual, faith-based, conservative-family-oriented" Christmas movie might be beyond most of our capabilities, although I'm sure we all love a challenge over the holidays.

[Mik]

I dunno. The women are all pretty hot.

We should write to Candace Cameron Bure commending her for getting rid of all that gayness as we can now pleasure ourselves to her wholesome movies with a relatively clear conscience.
