JUNKFILM

In original notes for things to write about in this blog, I found the 12 movies of Christmas (or Xmas, if you want to write it correctly). I had penned out movies I like to watch for Xmas, including: Silent Night, Deadly Night and Bad Santa. I wrote down all the reasons why I think you should watch these movies and why they mean what they do to me… But then I got to thinking: Every other fucking asshole is going to be writing every fucking asshole movie they can think of too… and I am not going to be another “12 Days of Xmas Movies” asshole. I’ll do that for the best and worst of 2008 next week.

I threw out my notes and decided what one movie/films/specials/tv episodes, what one title truly defines Xmas to Junk. I thought long and hard. I thought back to childhood and what mattered most, and BOOM, it hit me. Not the National Lampoon’s Xmas. Not Miracle on 34th. Not even It’s a Wonderful Life. The one movie that made Xmas for me was The He-Man Christmas Special.

I went on a mad goosehunt for a DVD, and alas, I could not find one in time. I ended up finding another kind of copy and enjoyed it thoroughly and decided every one needed to as well. I found it along other shitty 80s cartoons on YouTube, in 5 easy to watch parts.

The movie is just as you might not remember it to be: cheesy and hollow of skill, but still it rings true in the hearts of nostalgia. Hey, at least it’s not Glow Worms Christmas Special.

And a little XMas gift. A fan-made trailer, all done, frame by fucking frame in photoshop… I can’t even tell you what it is, you just have to watch. The trailer was made over the course of a year and a half and it shows.
