Ha ha ha ha! It’s funny ’cause it’s true!
It is, man. This is the way Santa was in that movie.
Republican Santa
Why is John McCain yelling at a reindeer? And when did he grow a beard. I don’t get it.
Yep, that Santa is a total dick.
Christmas specials can get pretty freaky on rewatching. What struck me about it the last time I saw it was the sexism — even Donner was dismissive of his wife and Clara when they wanted to help find Rudolph.
Though one thing I feel like correcting — Rudolph’s nose seemed to be treated as a disfigurement rather than an outright disability.
It’s hard to miss that the Santa in that special had a bit more of an edge to him than he usually does. It’s refreshing; I like it a lot. Still, it’s just as well that Rankin/Bass cut the venison-on-a-spit scene from that special. That was a bridge too far.
