Ойын-сауық

Enjoy my reaction to the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)! Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants to have a perfect family Christmas with his wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), kids and cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) who shows up unplanned and parks the camper in the yard. And will Clark get his holiday bonus?

    🎅👍 Whenever people ask me "What's a good Christmas movie?" I always point them towards two that are at opposite ends of the financial spectrum: Best Big Budget Extravaganza: "Polar Express" (2004). Featuring Tom Hanks playing multiple parts. Best Low Budget Heart Warmer: "Prancer" (1989). Featuring Sam Elliott (who you know from "Tombstone" and "The Big Liebowski").

    I'm curious, do most Germans watch a dubbed or subtitled translation or do you guys watch it in English? I ask because my favorite power metal bands are German, yet they sing in English. I watched a video of Blind Guardian performing the Bard's Song in English at Wakken and the entire crowd was singing along.

I prefer watching movies in english especially when comics are playing main characters because it's difficult to translate certain jokes into german without losing some of the original humor.

    I’ve loved this film, ever since I first saw it. A few years back, I actually managed to finally buy one of the Wally World Moose mugs…..still on the hunt for the rest of the set & the bowl. Aunt Bethany was played by Mae Questel who was best known for providing the voices for the animated characters Betty Boop (from 1931 & in over 50 animated short films….the longest stint for any actress in that voice role) and Olive Oyl (from 1933). In 1988, she reprised her role as Betty Boop one final time, for a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Her final on screen appearance of her 67 year career, was as Aunt Bethany in 1989's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation….& what a way to round off a career!!! Clarks boss was played by Brian Doyle Murray…..Bill Murray’s brother!! Brian Doyle Murray also plays Noah Vanderhoff in the incredibly funny Wayne’s World!!! Love how so many people watching this for the first time aren’t recognising Johnny Galecki (Russ Griswold). Galecki is most recognisable today for his role as Leonard in The Big Bang Theory.

There's a shot where he grabs and holds the Santa, punches it, and kicks it into the bushes. Chevy actually broke his pinky finger from punching the Santa decoration too hard. Chevy kicking the reindeer is actually him kicking in pain. And they kept that take in the movie.

We joked that he better have a humongous framed picture of Clark Griswold in his office and the custom Blackhawks jersey. He settled for just the Clark Funko pop. He still works in a similar type of job in LA now but still has the Clark Funko on his desk.

    I've got the best animal in the house story. My roommate wakes me up at 6am "Russ there's a wild animal in the house!" In the heaviest Brooklyn accent you can imagine. I'm like "dude I don't care I'm trying to sleep" but then thoughts of our dogs chasing this animal around, destroying the place and the animal and getting rabies runs through my head. So I get up and I see just the tiniest bit of its butt sticking out behind the sofa but can't tell what it is. I see my neighbor coming to the house carrying a cricket bat. Apparently my roommate and him thought it would be necessary to kill the thing. So I explain all we have to do is open the door, pull the sofa out a bit and it'll run out the door. Now my roommate was a UFC fighter, 6'2" 225lbs, covered in tatoos. Like the manliness scariest looking guy. Hes standing on the stairs petrified it going to leap at his neck and drink his blood. One of those City people that doesn't understand how animals work. So I pull the sofa out and it stars scurring around in circles on the tile floor and I hear the banister snap in half. My roommate, the big tough guy, so startled while holding the railing just broke the thing in 2 in terror. In terror over this tiny 3" baby bunny that finally managed to make it out the door. Lol

    We never had real trees either, and I prefer it that way. Assembling the artificial tree was always a Christmas tradition. We had an old one with limbs that were like green bottle brushes, with bare wire on the other end. You poked them into holes on a wooden pole based on the colors painted on them. Only the tree was so old that half the colors were faded/scraped off, so we'd have to compare their sizes to determine which ones were next. I never saw the point of killing a live tree just to have it in the house for a month or so. Not to mention the fire hazard. BTW, in this movie, Rusty (the son) was played by a young Johnny Galecki, who is now best known for playing Leonard on The Big Bang Theory, and David on Roseanne.

    My parents never had a live Christmas tree. One year when I was in college and didn't go home for Christmas, my roommates and I went out in the woods, dug up a tiny sapling, put it in a bucket of dirt, and had a live tree. Then after Christmas, we took it back out and re-planted it. Nowadays, I don't really do much for Christmas, as it's just me. I don't really celebrate (other than watching Christmas movie reaction videos.) I'm a bit of a Grinch.

    Something I had never thought of before was the clever way they began the movie with the Griswolds on a crazy road trip in the station wagon, probably as a nod to the first movie. Fun Fact: The poster above the bunk bed was of a model named Carre Otis and it was actually an ad. It originally said in cursive "Guess Swim". The filmmakers altered the poster, so it looks like it says Glorges Bnumfum or something.

    Clark sitting in the attic watching old home movies and while Ray Charles "Spirit of Christmas" plays always tears me up and makes me think of loved ones that are no longer with us.😢😢😭 kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZqAz9KEhNTbl7A.html When Clark cuts off the newel post is a nod to "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) Aunt Bethany is played by Mae Questel who voiced Betty Boop and Olive Oyl in the 1930s. She voiced Betty Boop in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988) Christmas Vacation was her final film. She passed away in January, 1998. R.I.P. "HEY GRIS!? If you're not doing anything constructive, run into the living room and get my stogie!" Uncle Louis played by William Hickey R.I.P. Merry Christmas Jen. And everybody! Don't let your SHITTER's get full!

    My favourite Christmas movie is Jim Carey's version of the Grinch. Although not actually a movie, sometimes it's nice to watch some version of 'The Nutcracker' at Christmas time, I have the Australain Ballet version on DVD.

    Classic flick, fun reaction! Hey, im suggesting, not for a reaction but a Christmas "watching" sabaton - Christmas truce. Its a band that makes songs about historical events, and this was during WW1 where both sides called a truce. Thanks again!

    1. If you need someone to screw it up just call Clark. 🤣 2. GOOF: The lights outside the attic window don't match the pattern with the rest of the house. 3. My favorite part is when Ellen pulls the chain on the trap door. 🤣🤣 4. Mae Questel played Aunt Bethany. She was the original Betty Boop and Olive Oyl, This was her last gig.😇 5. In the big rant scene the other actors had Chevy's lines written on placards so he wouldn't get his lines out of order. 6. Living next door to them must be kind of like living next door to the Bundys. 7. Fun fact; Chase actually hurt his hand karate chopping the reindeer. 8. Clark's boss is Brian-Doyle-Murphy (Bill Murry's brother) calls him greaseball when he drops off his gift.🤣 He doesn't get his name right until the end. 9. Ellen is played by Beverly DeAngelo. She also played in "Every Which way but Loose" with Clint Eastwood and in "Hair". EWWBL would be a great first time share but "Hair" would give you copywrite issues. Finally, she has a couple of kids with Al Pacino. I like her better than the sales girl.😍😋🥰 10. This IS my Christmas movie every year 11. Fun fact: This is the only Vacation where Audrey is older than Rusty. 12. My picks in order: Christmas, Vacation, European and finally Last Wages.

    I always liked these movies when I was a kid. Now, 30+ years later, one line always gets me: "I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it you have to hurt the ones you depend on". This would have been rare back in the 80s but today?! Pretty much impossible after the strife for profit margins and lack of respect for employees skyrocketed since then.

Because Snots drank all that water, it dehydrated the tree which is why it so easily went to cinders. Fun fact: Aunt Bethany is played by Mae Questel, the original voice of Betty Boop. Can't wait to see your reactions to other Chevy Chase classics like Three Amigos!(1986), Caddyshack(1980) and Fletch(1985)

    A guy in our neighborhood had a cousin Eddie mannequin he would put out at the storm sewer as a Christmas decoration. It had the short robe, weird hat, and a hose going into the sewer. We always got a chuckle out of it. (at Halloween he would put a Pennywise the Clown mannequin in the sewer. I always thought he should combine the two mannequins)
