There’s a movie opening on Christmas Day that absolutely boggles the mind. Not the movie itself, but the fact THIS movie is opening on THAT day.
Wolf Creek, the description for which reads:
It was supposed to be the vacation of a
lifetime in the Australian Outback – full of fun, sun and adventure.
But what happened to a trio of twenty-something backpackers took a
wrenching detour into the depths of unrelenting terror. Based on true
events, “Wolf Creek” is the haunting story of their unthinkable ordeal
- a mounting white-knuckle nightmare so real it was destined to become
horror legend…What psychotic personality chooses a movie being compared in its TV ad to “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” as Christmas Day fare?
There’s a silly Christmas song that amuses the heck out of me: “The Twelve Pains of Christmas.” Have you heard it?
There’s also a television commercial I rather enjoy, which is the new Jack-in-the-Box ad with Jack attempting to purchase a meal, only he doesn’t have his wallet. The young lady behind the counter solicitiously inquired if he has a Jack Cash card; no, unfortunately he doesn’t. When he finally asks her, “Do you know who I am?” she smartly replies, “Well, duh. You’re the hungry guy with no Jack Cash card.”Well, I think it’s funny.
