The idea of a perfect movie is stupid. After all, perfection doesn’t exist. But neither do toy-making elves, magical beings that live in the sky, rabbits that lay pastel eggs, or benevolent colonizers. Witches are real though.
This year I gathered some friends together and asked them to write up their favorite holiday movies. I told them two things: define "holiday" however you want it, and you can't do Die Hard. To discuss Die Hard is to discuss Bruce Willis, and to discuss Bruce Willis in 2022 is to discuss both elder abuse and worker exploitation. (Not to mention that any time we’re discussing movies we’re most likely discussing the labor of union workers.) There's more about this in the zine.
Some of these movies will be new to you, and some will be comfortingly familiar. Some reek of the arthouse, and some just reek. But they are all glorious and worth your time.
There is a movie for every day in December. I hope they bring you some comfort. Whatever holiday you may be celebrating, let’s remember to take care of those around us.
All I ask in return that you make a donation to
Elder Abuse.org (there's also a QR code in the zine).
WE ARE ALL OUT OF ZINES BUT YOU CAN STILL GRAB THE PDF AND MAKE YOUR OWN. (Print double-sided, cut along the lines, fold, staple, boom.) Make as many as you want, just keep it free, and please leave the donation QR code intact.
Don't click that SUBMIT button. It won't do anything. Seriously. It's not even a rickroll.
All is love.
