Name That Film: Holiday Madness Edition!

10 day until Christmas. Has everyone been accounted for? Anyone you've forgotten to call? How 'bout presents for the second cousins you see once every 3rd leap year? You don't plan to utilize a parking space at the local mall now...do you? Keep clear! Be jolly by golly. May your stockings be classy and your turkey...plump. May your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your plans be meticulous and your pies take the prize. May your Christmas dinner stay off your thighs. Queens on my-tail sing, wearing jeans so tight, what horror it is to ride to bring some safety here tonight. Ho! Whatta maze! It's beginning to look a lot like...madness and the holidays. Keep in mind, lunacy is not necessarily obsolete as a term used for legal insanity this day and age. Seems like we just finished the glazed turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing?

Teens may be struggling to get a hold of a gift for someone special, especially if they're tight on cash. Theft is always frowned upon. It is important to create a plan. Take out a piece of paper, a pen or a pencil and jot, spit-spot! Formulate the budget. Remember to be realistic because if you've waited this long to prepare, expect havoc and tons of traffic! You may have to downgrade, as every plan has it's place. Bob to weave and start the savings...jingle all the way! The scene looked at from afar will be met with credulity. This is supposed to be a conspiracy to love with the resolve of an invincible summer that somehow gets misplaced. Don't get your tinsel in a tangle, Santa Claus is coming to town and I'm dreaming of the right Christmas, from tons we used ta know.

Snow or no snow, buying on impulse will be looked upon frivolously. Compare products...some stores offer similar merchandise for less value. Back to strict abdomen breathing always works too. Online shopping can be a boost to settle the score but may leave one feeling a bit, ahem, unfulfilled...and a bit, unsure. Amid the madness there will be no assembly required, at least yet, which will not deter any whole-hearted enthusiasm as your final earthly deposit; Christmas the whole year through! Happy holidays to you!

Distillation, classed in fables, in the short run always determines the long run. Come forth from the clearing. Rise true. This is paid tribute with laughter and joy as the only plausible cures, accepting affirmations based on a foundation consisting in the strength of the imagination. Heretics needn't subscribe to a petrified opinion of the masses! This is a direct correlation to the origin of belief in it's practice. O tannebaum, all I want for Christmas is a sweet gold leaf, a sweet gold leaf, see my sweet gold leaf! Gee, if I could only have my sweet gold leaf, then I could be with you. It's true!

Have you made the right decisions or do you require a visit from some ghosts? Deficient funds makes for the runs...loose, early and often. It's almost Christmas time in the city. Children laughing. People passing. The stage has been set. Hell hath no fury like a man, woman or child scorned, just you mind your own keep, which is why the Film Edition, jingling a bit off kilter, offer's meager tribute to Madness and the Holidays. Iechyd Da! Take a look at the 5 and 10! Glistening once again. Aisles of unwanted items ill-afforded, most assuredly to go on sale within hours for half the cost and a consumer being viciously consumed. Lost to the maze of Operation Overdrive. What could be this mind of madness and where is the line? Heeeeeeere's Johnny! If only...to be...on the spot. What to give? Haul out the holly! O what fun it is to flail in the open seas!

Totally off the point, "Madness" is also a song by Elton John with lyrics by Gary Osborne found on the album, "A Single Man", if a search indeed proves fruitful. 9th track. "Back at Madness" is also a self-titled compilation album by British ska/pop band, Madness. Behind door number three, what do we see? Hark the herald angels sing, "Here is your heartbreaker, one dream-maker, and a lovetaker, so don't cha mess around with me!" but whose antisocial?

Under the white heat of a bright stream of lights, I'll tell ya the same, 'specially you strays: watch for the mistletoe as you know it to be the oldest trick in the book, least 'round this time! But why would sister Susie sit on a thistle? Have a holly, jolly Christmas, it's the most hectic time of the year. I don't know if there'll be snow, but we’ll take a 40 of beer. Employ a vigilant state of mind to understand the consequences of little action should you find yourself trapped in a bad location over an extended period.

May your days be merry and bright like the holly on your own front door. Because without us consumers they'd have a blue, blue Christmas. They'd be so blue just thinking about us that decorations of red on a green Christmas tree won't mean a thing if you weren't in it with me. Joy to the world. Let earth receive her king! Cold hard cash. According to the National Retail Federation, a majority of Americans (55 percent) are going to spend less money this holiday season because of the floundering economy. This probably has little to do with the fact that most people have less money to work with I'm sure. So say good-bye to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and hello to the fiscal and psychological madness of the holidays. Let it tear us apart. I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart.

Where do we start? O, have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Yule-tide gay, from now on, our troubles, will they be miles away? An ounce of preparation means there are four main causes of holiday stress: gift giving obligations, expenses, a lack of time, and unrealistic expectations about creating a perfect holiday. To reduce holiday stress, arm yourself with knowledge. Christmas does not have to be a date. It ken be a state of mind and it does not have to be madness. It is a mistake to try and have reality measure up to the flawless fantasy dancing like sugar plums.

Research shows that listening to music can crank down stress hormones, lower blood pressure and heart rate, and kick your anxiety to the curb, so get out those withered copies of Winter Wonderland and Silent Night, just not before December. Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, what a beautiful tune. Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'cause Santa Claus is coming real soon. This fanfare doesn't show any signs of stopping, and I've bought some pills for popping. The lights are anything but turned way down low. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Going outside to make a snow-person not only gives you an instant creative outlet, it provides enough pulse-quickening activity to make you feel good, even without the pills! Practice conscious breathing exercises ten minutes a day because when you exercise, your body produces endorphins, which are the ‘happy’ chemicals in your brain. Make to do lists that are workable to give you more of a sense of control. Gazing out at the natural world lowers your heart rate unless you happen to be looking for a parking spot at the mall. Remember, it's okay to refuse invitations, particularly from friends and family who create stressful environments for you. This is akin to taking care of the soul. Forcing yourself to spend time with them will only interfere with your serenity and the Film Edition believes firmly in serenity now as a whole! If only in my dreams with God as our Father, brothers all are we. Let me walk on my Mother in perfect harmony; at one with the earth having that unequivocal worth. You can't control everyone and everything in your life. Let go of other people's judgments as to how you spend your holidays. They do not pay your bills, or live in your body...or do they?

Feeling the credit crunch? With the cost of travel who could blame you? Revelers, come sample the wares and fares of new artists, fair merchants and lively restaurants some other time. 'Eat, drink, & be merry...in the mind. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Last thing we need is...a little sickness...right this very minute! But now that it's been brought up, take a psychotic cabbie (anywhere you like) who happens to carry a festive tune and be in the mood for the middle of a catharsis. The height of folly could fester into a negligent situation where this cabbie somehow spreads an idea to millions of minds about the mania of merriment on the lost weekend, serious pun intended, though there is never a mention of sociopath or any antisocial personality. It is strictly during this 48 hour period when all information is said to be accrued. Was it a change in climate? A woman under the influence? The mask of sanity? You decide if word games are for you. Poetry is divine madness...but this whole ballyhoo does not seem to be in the state of being rash. It's not even Christmas, but 10 days prior! Ken I get a witness that there's so much more to know? Bells on bobtails ring. Having alotta fun. Sing away the stress. When you get to see the brightest star, will you be overjoyed? Up for sleighing a sing-song tonight?

Freud would have a field day with left-over paranoia helpings for the whole family but there's no need to be crude or walk that line. No longer will the kid's table suffice. We want justice and shall call the guard...(ah, but what?). It's certainly clever to step outside of time and the lights sure are bright...blinking...and the boughs strung tight! There's still time, you may be right, but X-mas music since Halloween? Surely you think it obscene? Foolish like traveling in a blizzard?

“Whenever loyalty to the enterprise becomes more important than simple
morality, you will find evil functioning smoothly.”

This is not the psychology of obsessive-compulsive neurosis bordering on personality disorder or flashy adjustments to some insane society...that much, though this may be unrestrained excitement or what may be seen as unbridled enthusiasm for the strength of the spirit. O come all ye faithful, let's hear it! Deck the halls and haul out the holly indeed, similar to a little angel on your shoulder, or at least one of similar breed. These are a few of me favorite things. Preparation being the best medicine for a cure. On that I am sure.

The transition from the old to the new significance of Yule-tide was brought about so quietly and naturally that it made no great impression on the mind of the masses, which is no small feat in and of itself. In other words, nothing authentic can be learned from the early observances of a fruitcake. The holly, laurel, mistletoe, and other greens still serve as decorations of the season, as emblems of resurrection and immortal hope regardless of affiliation or practice. Who’ll be home for Christmas? Count on anything you see. Please have ample dough and no yellow snow and "Rockband" for you and me. Madness, you see, me vaudevillians, is all in the mind! Fa la la la la, la la la la. Better late than never, I always say! Sorry for the delay of this week's edition. Seems like I have to sign up to use my own computer these days...geesh! Oh well, here we are with this week's edition and once again Blood has knocked another intro right out of the park!

Now to the game! This week's, and next week's movie quotes will all come from Christmas movies. I looked up and list of the top 50 Christmas movies of all time. I picked 10 movies that were not rated in the top 10 and used them for this week. Next week we will go with the higher rated Christmas movies. So, see if you can figure out what movies the following quotes came from and let us know in the comment section below.
