    Anybody bothering with the Christmas in July movies on Movies 24? I'm not a fan of the hallmark style christmas films so havent bothered but was just wondering last night as i went channel surfing if anyone else on here has bothered either?

    No haven't bother either, partly been pretty busy the last week or so, partly forgot about it and partly not a massive fan.

    Did come across Muppets Christmas Carol on Disney+ last night when looking for a movie to watch with the missus, was tempted however will save it for a rainy afternoon with the kids.

    I really don’t bother with the Hallmark style Christmas movies. Once you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all.

    They’re a niche and they thrive off it.

    I might watch one, or maybe two, over the Christmas, but that would be it.

    They are all pretty formulaic.
    High powered New York lawyer goes to small snowy mountain town under some flimsy premise. She's engaged, but it's to a horrible creep (insert scene of him flirting with other women, being a sexist pig etc) so that makes it okay when she falls for hunky local ski lodge owner who conveniently recently lost his wife in an avalanche etc etc... The movie will end on Christmas day when Ski Lodge presents her with an engagement ring. Of course she says yes, even though there is not a lot of legal work in a town with a population of 112, not to mention that they just met 6 days ago.

    And of course in those small towns they’ve no need for fancy contracts all their deals are sealed with a good old fashioned handshake.

    Nope. And no to the muppets Christmas Carol. It was a scene from Mister Magoo’s version of A Christmas Carol.

    No it wasn't actually! It was a Canadian actor (as they nearly always are, masquerading as American:D) - his name is Scott Cavalheiro

    Twas but a random punt. Vaguely remember the secretary's young son that didnt talk watching tv & thought it might be shown that he was watching on TV & guessed at the muppets.

    We watched Klaus for the first time last night and it is very good, felt very Christmassy after it! Its definitely going to be added to the regular Christmas viewing list!
