Note to the disappointed reader:

You probably didn’t see some of your favorite holiday movies like Elf, Polar Express, or the animated Grinch movie on my list. Let me explain. I hate Will Ferrell, and he is not funny compared to any good comedian—Robin Williams, Jim Carey, Jerry Seinfeld are all much funnier. Polar Express is boring, slow, and hard to follow. I like the animated Grinch movie, but I like the live-action better, and I was not putting remakes on the list.
Happy Holidays, disgruntled readers. Not sorry.
